Hey thanks for letting me know by the way. I ended up trying to replace some of those CC embeds with YT.

Pretty much just that. I don't think we're supposed to post from CC ...

Yo Anthony!

Hey man. The deadline for the NIST SURF program is sneaking up. Let me know if you are still interested. If you are, send me your CV. Also, I can help you get your application ready.

Nate

the circle is complete.

nate gets my first quality invoke.

How is the application for SURF coming. Let me know when you have it together.

-Nate

i will need to be reminded to use my first (not fake) q invoke to nate,

Nate -

i still remember the first comment i made, regarding your then-new-to-me existence, on the sift. a month and a half ago.
i saw a comment by you, on a clip we both upvoted or something, and i knew anyone with that name would know that i was taking a funny jab, at his most excellent taste in usernames.

so i called you, a then-total stranger, a ... what was it now... fiddle-playing sissy heroin addict, or somesuch.
point being only this.

you're already, clearly, better than i am, at spotting a good-natured jab, in the random comment flow that we all enjoy.
i, however, am better at writing them.

- owen

ps. you are, also, clearly a better sifter than i to date, as well. having little need of *requeues, i notice.

In reply to this upvoted comment by MycroftHomlz, sleuth o' the sift.

I intended the jab as a joke.

I guess not quite the time for humor, but I thought some humor might cheer you up about our friend being a douche.

No harm done...I guess, but mia culpe. I am sorry.

Nate

also, i'd like this on the record...

Yeah.. the second explanation was more for the people who have more than a popular understanding of quantum mechanics. Many of my friends work in quantum computing, so I have seen countless presentations on the subject.

Tell me which parts confused you, I will start slowly and work in the details a little more gently.

I enjoyed your explanation of the "quantum computer".

I'd enjoy it more if I knew what the heck it meant. I'm not the only one that doesn't understand it, but I'm not afraid to admit it. Cool stuff, nonetheless. What studies would I have to pursue to get a better grasp on these "quantum" concepts. I feel that I understand them and I don't at the same time

OMG, yes! with the time/travel paradox thing w/ Nate Sr? writing genius.

we must be related then, dag! i faithfully watched this show and felt that i was really a part of it. i miss this show a lot ... so i'll hop in the 'sad boat' with you! lol

i just felt like it was so real. i could totally relate to the characters and their feelings. my all time fav scene was when nate and brenda had that huge fight (after she smoked pot and then screwed the kid on the bike).

anyway ... i can't get too sad now!
