Hah! Nice Thx, I learned another thing today.

In reply to this comment by HaricotVert:
Feynman actually used a strip club as an office and defended it in court.

From Wikipedia:

"In Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!, he gives advice on the best way to pick up a girl in a hostess bar. At Caltech, he used a nude/topless bar as an office away from his usual office, making sketches or writing physics equations on paper placemats. When the county officials tried to close the place, all visitors except Feynman refused to testify in favor of the bar, fearing that their families or patrons would learn about their visits. Only Feynman accepted, and in court, he affirmed that the bar was a public need, stating that craftsmen, technicians, engineers, common workers "and a physics professor" frequented the establishment. While the bar lost the court case, it was allowed to remain open as a similar case was pending appeal.[12]"

I wish I could've bought him a drink at a strip club and just listen to him talk all day.

I believe per his own specified criteria in this video he'd be too distracted to think.

Thanks Arvana!

Well it might not actually rock the world, but there are some high *quality out-of-the-box innovations in that design!

Thank you!

Anyway can you root an ipad?

I haven't seen much about iPad rooting. There was a supposed jailbreak about 11 months ago, but since then it's been pretty quiet. You can pretty easily root the Nook Color though. It's quite a bit smaller, but it's also quite a bit cheaper. I haven't done it yet, but after playing around with my wife's Nook Color I think I'm going to pick one up for myself to play around with.

Thanks again Hybrid; I'm gonna have to buy you a beer. I'm really looking forward to BF3 too; BFBC2 has been enough to hold me over, but I really miss the BF2 days. It was nice to have more than 4 classes.

The five "possible dupes" on the confirm submission page are generated strictly from tags, I think. Your submission didn't have any tags in common with the original.
Ahh that makes sense, I'll be more careful. /me thanks you sir!

The assist is much appreciated... at this rate I'll get my bronze star @ the 5.5 year mark.

Psst... GLQuake blows. 320x200 for me. Were you addicted to this game like I was?
In reply to this comment by JiggaJonson:
ACTUALLY, Quake was released to the public on June 22, 1996 and the OpenGL version wasn't released for more than six months later on January 22, 1997. While all my gradeschool buddies were focused on their SNES I was tagging along with my dad to computer shows (this was long before newegg) and saving up for my first 3dfx card. That was back in the good old days where you had to use a dongle cable just to run your 2D card to your 3D card and only THEN did it find its way to the monitor. Ahhh good times...

Get ur facts straight son!

Do note that I did not apply what I said to *every* member of VS, but *half* of them...and IMO, though not scientifically provable, I'm correct in this assessment. About 50% of any thread is riddled with one side or the other side sifters, with almost no in-between and no attempt to even try to understand their opposition. The way you addressed this, you applied what I said to everyone, which I never did.

Onto the meat of the subject, you claimed my post was negative (in so many words), however, it wasn't negative, it was merely in disagreement with the speakers approach, which is a completely different thing. As for cynicism, I can admit it creeps into the equation, however, that doesn't mean I can't listen too and hear what other intelligent people, such as yourself for instance, have to say.

As for the final things you said, I'd agree if you cut out the entire middle portion of the video -- in which he preaches -- if that part didn't exist, I'd agree with you that his point was in attempting to start a discussion, however, he tried to steer the discussion to where he wanted it. He didn't merely speak of a specific subject objectively in the interest of starting a discussion, as he went into a mini-soap-box rant in the middle portion, rendering objective discussion almost moot as his speech became suggestive in nature. At least, this is my opinion on the matter.

Points taken. I can see where he does lack some definitive direction. (+1)
