I hate quantum mechanics. It gives me a headache on the best of days.
My policy: As long as it keeps working, and I can use a reference book for the equations, just show me how to USE it, and I'll be much happier.

My AP Physics teacher doesn't even show us how to use it. She hasn't even taught an actual lesson all year.

Sounds like one of mine. Physics and math teachers are a grab bag of wonderment. The best teacher's I've ever had were both advanced algebra & calculus teachers, but some of the most incompetent were also in that department. The problem is that, with those teachers, it doesn't just hinge on their teaching skill, but also their technical skill. If they're missing one, they fail; if they're missing both, they fail harder. Teachers of language and literature usually fail at the technical level as well.

My opinion is that in the science and engineering fields, the best teachers are at the community college level. There's no "publish or perish" mentality, and they're there because they want to teach.

It's like guiding someone who has no knowledge of the concept of a screw through the setup of an Ikea closet over the phone :facepalm:

Just had my most serious observation of meteors right at the maximum of the Geminid meteor shower - the sight of one meteor after another is just :blahblah: fabulous!

Facebook has some stats on 2012. Some interesting, some scary, most predictable.

Windows7: Hides a notification that it's going to shut down for installing updates in the taskbar, then, if not prompted, goes on and dumps whatever you've been working on. :facepalm:

Either that, or it asks you if you want to reboot. Every 45 seconds until you let up.

Nice reason to use my anaglyph glasses...
They'll also have a 3D stream for 3D TVs, don't know if it gets out of France and Germany.

I sure hope the death star is not made of either pure iron or steel. :shifty:
You reply thusly:
"W have considered the proposal and analyzed the plans. However, during said analysis, we have found a severe design flaw, that would let a single Taliban in a space fighter blow the whole thing to pieces. The benefit of the huge investment necessary is therefore dubious at best, and would severly jeopardize our national stability, as we would essentially put several decades worth of GDP up there where every maniac having a lucky strike could blow it up. It is therefore with regret that we must decline your proposal."
