not so fast. science understands things progressively. Newton's theory of gravitation was held as truth for centuries until Albert E came along. and, scientists are really going to accept this result (either way), w/o actually testing it again somewhere else other than CERN (yeah, i know about nowhere else YET able…

i would stop sneezing

best episode this season.

Fringe-a-licious.

PS: as i wrote in my book in the late 1990s, "Television is something that watches you." Tracking behavior is better than asking questions, as a predictor of future behavior (think spending), and anything interactive can be tracked. That *is* the future.

The San Francisco Exploratorium (a kids science museum, for those who don't already know it), has had an eye-tracking exhibit since at least the mid-1990s (possibly earlier).

All in the Family? Because they just couldn't stand each other any longer. :)

should we read into this coverage a (deserved) lack of interest in Alcatraz?

that makes sense. how we think about accents are funny. i just listened to the unabridged audiobook for the final Wallander novel, A Troubled Man. It was read/performed by a Brit, Robin Sacks. Was wonderful, except for when he tried to sound like an Eastern European, he sounded awfully Irish to me. That must…

just like the broken clock that's correct twice daily. yup, that's me, correct twice daily.

i wonder if they still have the letter i sent as a child. i had an idea for an x-ray machine on top of a 100-mile high tower, so that they could see the surface of Venus. And, my idea was to build this in Africa, because that was closer to Venus. i was six.

and they put the whole David Robert Jones-Nina Sharp-AltBroyles thing on hold. maybe they're just uncertain whether or not they need to draw things to a close (in case they don't get renewed), and can't start rising the action on new characters. there's so much to tie up before it all ends.

i am always amazed at how Brits and Aussies can better imitate American accents, than American actors can imitate Aussie/Brit accents.

Dr. Dave — is it "possible" that some evidence of what preceded the Big Bang can be seen in some facts of the current distribution of energy and matter in our current universe. So, leaving aside the epistemological questions about what "before the Big Bang" actually means, is it nevertheless possible that something…

aibohphobia. (fear of palindromes)

The Glass Flowers, [en.wikipedia.org]

i agree.

aibohphobia?

Yes, OMG, is this formulaic or what. I've loved Sam Neill ever since his role in Reilly, Ace of Spies. But aside from Hurley, i am really sure not sure there's enough there there to sustain my interest. Hoping those keys finally lead to something interesting.

thus the origin of the phrase, "close enough for government work"?
