DiCaprio: I’m telling you I can’t be honest. I can divide by zero, but you cannot.

I really liked the movie ‘Inception’. The violence was a little gratuitous, but the fall of the van from the bridge reminded me of ‘Contact’ where the pod fell through the eggbeater in about 6 seconds, but there were 60 minutes of static on the videotape.

Multiply time as it is inversely proportional to space; smaller stuff moves faster.

Mathematics, Uncommon Sense

Well, I have a son looking to join a university home. Best subject is math, with both years calculus AP’s at 5. MIT’s 21, Cornell’s 10, Duke’s 6, Johns Hopkins 4, or just get a job at AT&T at 2.

Note these are ranked by the number of citations per research paper in the last 10 years (that’s when someone uses your idea and references it). So it is a measure of significance or so it would seem.

Ann Coulter Defends Conservatives Unfairly Smeared … of Racism … Well done.

Here’s Rick Sanchez of CNN, losing every argument with Ann Coulter. Ann proposed that in the NAACP lecture by a woman who admitted her racism 24 years ago, was ‘Extracted’ by someone and provided to Andrew Breitbart, but could have known that the entire tape would have ‘elevated her to Mother Teresa’ because the woman concluded with ‘we should work together.’ In other words, a double agent could have given the tape and then provided all the info to the other side (NBC, CNN, ABC, White House) to discredit Breitbart as an unreliable news source … and of course racist.

Sanchez compares this to the downfall of Dan Rather, who was accused of knowing of the bad info. on Prez. Bush in 2004 before he proclaimed it as fact. The problem is that Ann did not consistently defend herself. Dan Rather’s source doctored the documents (which included using a font that was circa 2004 on a document, not of a typewriter of the 1960’s when the event happened). Oops, opps. That is a little different that publishing an unedited excerpt of a video.

But, bravo to Ann, she cooked Rick’s Kiddyporn goose on every other front. And she did it laughing with a smile.
