Yeah, I am pretty impressed by the identity. I mean summation, multiplication, and exponentiation along with the ratio of a circle's circumference to diameter, the base of the natural logarithm, and the imaginary number equal to the square root of -1 all in one "simple" equation? It's pretty amazing. I had one professor tell me it was the greatest equation EVER.
As far as my technology question, I definitely agree that technology opens new doors for experiencing new cultures and quick access to an infinite amount of information. I'm not worried about Skynet or anything like that, more of just the impersonality of the internet if it replaces physical human contact. I guess I just hope it doesn't get to the point where everyone is holed up in front of their computers day in and day out because that, to me, is probably the most depressing future I can think of...just laying down, in Serenity-speak.

well much as this ass discussion is captivating...I must take my leave to go get everything ready for my baby sis's baby shower ( as she lives in no where Misouri where the only store is Walmart we must give her many gifts before she returns) Anyway, I will return to ponder again tomorrow and I leave you with this -

Okay, now see, that's math that goes beyond me. I'm conceptual not abstract. Ah well. I am also shallow and attention grubbing. To whit:
Ahem. Hear ye! Hear ye! On this Friday I shall be singing to myself this song: 
"Well, here I am...Does that seem right to you?"

Or not even acknowledging the person they are eating dinner with? I'm tired of people answering their phone and jabbering away when I'm with them. If we are hanging out, WE are hanging out...not me, you and whoever decides to call during that time frame.
Sin of all sins: I took a 19 year old to a Equality Now Serenity Screening. She kept texting during the movie. I was annoyed and embarrassed...her lite of her phone was obnoxious.

Good point, RugBug...the whole "Hang on, I have to take this call" b.s. No, thank you very much. That ever happens to me on a date, I'll be out the door.
Texting during a screening of Serenity?!? I am surprised she was not Reaverized by the patrons!

Hallo!
Now for my increasingly routine, overly lengthy, after-work, catch-up post...

Morning, Hell's Kitten! It does sound like you work in coporate hell. We may have to mount a rescue operation...without visible signs of undergarments and pants that sag below our waists...ooh, ohh, and wearing Birkenstocks! That'll really throw them for a loop!
Oh, Corporate Hell, indeed. WORSE: small family company taken over by East Coast Wallstreet C
kss who are forcing the company to Become A Big Corporation. The horror stories I have...........The only okayish part is that I was one of the few employees that were offered stock options. So, if the stars align and the company goes public, I could stand to make a nice bit o'cashie money. Maybe enough to take a few years off and travel the woild. *HK should maybe stop dreaming*

Quote:Uh. Well. I only know two songs, so having either or both of those two songs stuck in my head is... a little... maddening. MAAAAADdening! *snerk*

My current favourite is regarding the halting probability Ω. *nerd glee!*
Re: Fictional Character I'd Wanna Be
Still thinking on that one.
Re: Video Games
ZOMG! Tomb Raider is my mostest favouritist evarrrrrr!!!1 *ahem* Honestly, I spent probably a week straight playing through all the TR games. Just because. I wanna be Lara Croft when I grow up.
Aside from that, I used to play things like Doom and Duke Nukem alla time, and the other side of the games fence with Myst and the like. Not so much these days, though. Been thinking about taking up TR again....Re: Cell Phones
I purposely call my mom (and one of my friends who considers herself to be my MN-mom) when I'm driving because I know it frightens her. Every once in a while, I yell things like "Oh my god!! Watch out, f
er! You nearly killed me!!! AAAAAHHhhhhh!!!!!" just to bother her. All in good fun, of course. She knows I'm kidding. Mostly. Sometimes. Heh.Also, I have a tendency just to let my cell phone ring (not in important places, like work, where I turn it off). Drives people batshit crazy that I don't answer it. But, the way I figure it, the cell is for my convenience, not your convenience of reaching me where ever I am. *shrug*

What can I say, my ability to get to the heart of the matter strikes fear into man AND machine...

I can't help but notice you always whisper whenever you pretend to try to rile me about this. Could it be the cowardice of your ninjaness?
