"That means when you die they cut your venial off before you can go to heaven." ROTFL! Actually, I'm not Catholic and was only making a point. I think Nully and Prentice can both keep their "venials"....assuming there is nothing more sinister that they're hidiing. LOL!

"We were led to believe in your teen age studliness.... " Yes, but we still haven't seen anything of that promised picture have we?
To: Prentice
Have fun! Let us no the results.... (did the groom show up).
To: sweetliberty
Yes, but we still haven't seen anything of that promised picture have we? The one with my shoulder length hair and the Led-Zeppelin T-shirt?

You probably own several. The accelerometers that determine when to set off the airbags in your car are one example.
When Swervie gets his arm detached and re-attached, he will probably have a wristwatch looking thing in one of his IV lines that has a little pressure sensor to monitor his blood pressure and pulse.
If you have a digital bathroom scale it probably has a micromachined strain gauge that provides the data to the display.
Some of the gas in your car came form oil wells discovered using VERY precise high resolution micromachined geophones to gather the data the supercomputers crunched to say "drill here".
Indeed, the oil itself was converted to gasoline and other products in refineries using hundreds of micromachined pressure sensors, flow meters, and other micromachined products.
Your car runs cleaner and has better fuel economy (two sides of the same coin) in part becuse there is a precise MAP (Manifold Air Pressure) sensor allowing careful adjustment of the fuel/air mix on the fly.
Speaking of flying, modern aircraft have scores of micromachined parts that do everything from monitor altitude, fuel level, airspeed, tire pressure, and hydraulics function.
A few higher end cars have sensors in the shock absorbers that can detect the pressure pulse from hitting a brick, and provide the signal to micromachined valves to literally lift the wheel over the brick and set it down on the other side. Nice smooth ride, no tire damage.
I could go on and on...

You're asking me? Wadareyatryintosay???

In the words of Spock: "Fascinating"...
And what about those nano-computers?
To: operation clinton cleanup
Sounds good to me.

Got the family coming over to celibrate my new employment... BBL.
To: sweetliberty
Sounds good to me. It sounds better than it looks, trust me. I will dig it out, I'm not proud.
To: operation clinton cleanup
LOL! Fair enough.

They should tell you these things.

Moses' people partying when he presented the 10 commandments were depraved in the open right in front of God, Moses and everybody.
The Roman Empire under Nero was a bloodthirsty, sadistic homosexual CESSPOOL of excess - America today is far less depraved than man has been in many other times in human history, both BC and AD.

Yes, and don't forget to study for your urine test...

And what about those nano-computers?Out of my area of experise. From what I've read, we've still got quite a ways to go. The technology hasn't really escaped Acacademe yet.
Also the keyboards are just too damm small...

Celibrate? Is that an abstaining kind of celebration? After your first paycheck, maybe you'll get your confidence back.
To: null and void
Okay, I won't say anything about macademia nuts.
To: ValerieUSA
Yes, I know, but whenever decadence was the pervasive atmosphere of a culture it was doomed to collapse. In this country, depravity is being protected while godliness is being condemned. If we don't turn it around, we will not last much longer as a nation.

Yes, and don't forget to study for your urine test... That's OK, I have been practicing for that one.
