She's remarkably well adapted to what she's facing, health wise. I can only imagine how frightening it must be to contend with a neurological that is mysterious and socially misunderstood. At her age, acceptance is perceived to be the most important aspect of life, so having an ailment that makes you unacceptable to…

Historically, humans used the best they had to document their thoughts, utilizing the inside of a cave wall, stone and clay tablets, cyperus papyrus, vellum, up to today's paper. The next evolutionary step is electronic text.

These jailbreak apps lists are much appreciated. I don't have time to keep up with the best options, app wise where jailbroken iDevices are concerned... these lists help! Thanks!

"This issue is too important, too vital to our economy, to let misleading demagoguery have a veto over meaningful reforms..."

Forgive me, but I don't understand the point you're making.

Good thought.

Release the Hacken!

Haha, no worries. I work for NASA, everything takes a long time to explain here. Good luck with the studying and the certs!

Wow, it's been so long since I played Freelancer and your comments about the game has me wondering if it will run smoothly in Parallels on my Mac.

Well, don't be discouraged by your current success in programming or assembly. So many skills are not "natural" and discovered and nurtured over time. There are a few skills I have now as a professional that were nonexistent or simply, in poor state, years ago. And you should be proud that the younger engineers are…

Much like the laws of physics, we push the limits of those of the English language! That's how we does it... :P

"The action of one object coming forcibly into contact with another" certainly describes what these meeting-driven decisions do to my task plans. ;)

Indeed! But preventive and preventative are interchangeable in my industry, which is known for bastardizing the English language: aerospace. :)

Call me unsanitary, but I sit on the steak, pantless. If I get burned, steak is done. If I get a bit warm, toss it back on the grill for a few minutes. By it, I mean the steak, not me.

Typically, I'm jotting down the occasional note based on what is being said in the meeting using my iPad. Mostly, I'm planning for the remainder of the week, outlining new tasks and such. There are action items or, better put, preventative actions I like to take as a result of what is being presented in the meeting.

I'm in your camp. At what point does a cell phone become a tablet, and thus, no longer a cell phone?

You've got the right attitude - the early academic programs are not really engineering related because most kids don't know much about the subject. It can be intimidating as well. But you're right on the money, persevere. Where I work, we have an annual invention challenge that allows local high school kids to design…

The Altec Lansing Live 5000 looks great; a universal Wifi speaker is quite handy. $500...

You're welcome.
