"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Nice thing about IPods:
- groovy controls
- groovy design
- sleek (though, see below)

Problems with IPods:
- price
- capacity
- battery setup
- features

Ipods are small and lovely to look upon and they have the best interface ever. However, you cannot take the battery out and replace it while you're on the go. The price of the Ipod is entirely too high for the capacities they offer. You can get an Archos player with bigger capacity and more features (video playback for example) for less.

These new "mini-Ipods" get my attention though. This pushes them into the size range where the lower capacity for the price and the battery setup is less important. My wife might get one of these in the future.
[I am not really here. This post is entirely a figment of your imagination.]

Meh.

Clueless Bashing == Bad
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman
