Hello Mike - 

MR> --- on the topic of "Columbia's 'computers'" 

CA>> The point at which a law of physics is first realized is
CA>> not naive. The notion that we are so very much smarter now
CA>> than previous generations is naive. 

MR> I find it so quaint when people confuse ignorance for
MR> intelligence.  

After the burned the library at Alexandria no one really cared
much anymore. 

--8<--cut 

CA>> Possibly as with our other extremely stupid mistakes with
CA>> atomic radiation we only _think_ we shield them? Hmmm...? 

MR> There are instruments for measuring the success of the
MR> shielding materials. 

Is that like the scientologists instrument that sucks the 'bad'
out of people or mesmer's gizmos or ... there have been many
instruments that were just so much fluff. You place too much
confidence in technology. 

MR> Look up dosimeters some time and bootstrap yourself out of
MR> the medieval belief system of earth, fire, & water. 

That would be earth, wind, fire, and water and no I'm not a
wiccan or any variation of that. 

MR> [Mat, I hope you're enjoying this!] 

Wanting to play tagteam now?
