2/19 I don't know why this question keeps getting erased, but why are
"dict" and "webster" not working?
\_ Encyclopaedia Britannica changed their dictionary CGI,
which webster/dict uses. it's been fixed. -jwang
\_ dict has now been replaced by a much better dictionary client.
webster remains unchanged.
\_ What is the name of the new client?
\_ I dont why root never gets mail like this. |

2/19 Speed of light reduced to 38mph in a Bottle of Bosons!
<DEAD>ars-www.uchicago.edu/~grier/jficol/winter/hau<DEAD>
\_ You can now say that you drive faster than the speed of light.
\_ Physics police: I think you meant "propagation speed of light",
or something similar. NOT the same thing.
\_ thats how a physicist would use "speed of light", and for what peo
ple generaly refer to as the "speed of light" would be the speed
of light in a vacuum.
-arrogant cs guy who pretends to know physics police
\_ They actually expect to slow it to 120 feet/hour. Here's a more
complete story: http://www.hotcoco.com/stories/light0218.htm
\_ cool link. One of the things they didn't state is that it sounds
like this may allow for ultra-high-res visible-spectrum
microscopes and telescopes
\_ I guess "Warp Speed" is a reality now

and S.N. Bose's grandson went here. --psb |

2/19 Don't buy from Site For Sore Eyes. Besides being incompetent,
overpriced, and complete liars ("Your insurance will cover it."),
their service sucks and their warranty is virtually useless.
\_ Try "For Eyes". Prices are fairly reasonable and service is
very friendly. They also have a good warrenty on their stuff.
\_ "For Eyes" will also fix your b0rken eyewear free of charge
even if you didn't buy it there...if it can be fixed. |
