Anti-matter is a lot like human nature. Public generalizations about either make you look like an utter moron. I know you read the entire Wikipedia entry on Particle Physics on the bus ride to the Apple Store, but please, you sound like an African-American musician who raps about poverty-stricken Africa. (this scenario is ironic because you have a black man who does not understand that Africa is a continent filled with vastly diverse cultures, states, and heterogeneous social problems -- but you knew that).

I've included some tips to help individuals navigate the difficult and dangerous minefield of 'scientific method' or 'due diligence' or 'independent thought':

1. Theorize (preferably to yourself) based on your current body of knowledge / experience
2. Test your theory in a fashion repeatable by others
3. Update / modify your theory based on your test data 
4. Reference any sources (Discovery channel, an really good episode of Lost, text you found in a book jacket are generally frowned upon)
5. Repeat

When in doubt, RTFM.

This morning while playing with a Palm Pre, we noticed that if you go to a certain browser url, the phone dives headfirst into an infinite loop, opening cards until the cows come home.

If you're interested in the technical details, the link actually automaticaly detects the flux capacitors in your mobile device and flushes ALL of the logs. Including the kernel ones.

If there is anything more insulting to a man's ego, it's romance. Continuing our quest of simplifying difficult stuff, I've put together this handy dandy audio guide to help you survive and thrive in the jungle of awkward intimacy.

Programming is hard. Almost as hard as math and science and physics. That's why I've created "Learning C# By Audio". Instead of reading and typing and reading what you typed, you can now just listen and type. It's like cutting out all the middlemen without the guilt and heartache. Here's the first chapter:

From commercial enterprise mega-portals to special-interest blogs, AJAX is taking the Internet by storm. Compelling content and utility aside, AJAX can blast your web traffic through the ceiling by coupling with Web 2.0 at the transport layer. I won't have time to go into technical details, but trust me, it really works. Let's dive in:

1. Procure or just get an orbital sander. (Belt sanders will not suffice, regardless of what your Network Administrator rebuffs)
2. Discard the orbital sander.
3. Insert the following "Code". "Code" is just elitist babble for words and stuff. (If you are unfamiliar with copy and paste, you'll have to wait until my follow-up article,"Disruptive TECH: Copy, Cut, and Mother Fucking Paste.")
4. Save it to your website as a blog post, product description, or new heading:

 

<!-- import "ajax.library" -->

<script languange="ascript">

 command () { ajax_on = always; }

 </script>

 

That's it! You're done. You've now added one more AJAX to your website. There are other tutorials suggesting the usage of, "learning", or "understanding", which my snippet does not require.
