A friend of mine had a very loud voice. As we were driving he would spot someone keying the lock on their own car or house. He would shout in the loudest voice possible: "HEY YOU …. GET OUT OF THERE". The funniest part is that it worked. People would jump and look guilty as if they were breaking into their own homes!
A couple of friends of mine used to do a funny prank wherein they would wait until someone was walking into some area they were unfamiliar with. The would blurt out a curt "It's a bathroom" … and the more times than not the person being pranked would dead foot stop and turn around.
Good presentation on adiabatic quantum computation. In information theory class I learned that by using the Laplacian form and maximizing entropy you can find the description of physical systems. The adiabatic minimization will work well in these scenario.

Note many years later: They're selling for 5000 bucks on ebay. Duh!
My first motorcycle was a Kawasaki F7. F7 is 255 decimal.
Very interesting and experimental approach to entanglement and Bells inequality.

Places like this are magical. If you camp there for any amount of time you find the world spinning round. If you just sit there and meditate you can see the Sun rise spin to the other horizon and set.

If you have ever used FCKEditor you know its far better than the default TinyMCE editor that comes with WordPress. Want to make a table in TinyMCE ? Sorry you'll have to do HTML code in a window that does not allow you to cut or paste. Highly inconvenient !!!
Want to do full screen editing? Just click on the monitor icon and you get full screen capability. No dealing with crappy iframe insert that rolls randomly with mouse wheel…and then does not because the main frame rolls!
