http://allnall.httbonline.com Anything, Everything or Maybe Nothing At All Tue, 01 Dec 2009 15:38:29 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en With all the problems that have visited this project on its way to completion, and with all the speculation -- both by scientists and interested researchers -- on what the implications of a successful search for the Higgs' boson could mean, I'm not sure how I feel about this announcement. Here's ... http://allnall.httbonline.com/?p=23 I would recommend that anyone interested in the recent Somali Piracy issue view the YouTube video Somali Piracy: The Real Story. It just might give you a different perspective. http://allnall.httbonline.com/?p=21 Spelling does not appear -- nor in my estimation has it ever appeared -- to be the strong suit of American-English. Ours is a spoken miracle of a language that does not get translated accurately to paper -- or file, sign, letter, poster, whatever -- by the majority of its ... http://allnall.httbonline.com/?p=20 We look at information on a day-to-day basis, and sometimes, only fleetingly, consider its usefulness. In terms of this list of companies that may close in 2009, we may do ourselves a service by paying attention. Each of these companies have inventory of some kind -- which, I guess, in ... http://allnall.httbonline.com/?p=19 To all of you that have listened to the AllnAll with Paul since its inception as a semi-regular podcast, your wait for the next episode is almost over. This one has been a long time coming, in thta AllnAlls never get recorded before their time. This episode will feature highlights ... http://allnall.httbonline.com/?p=18 Vampire moths evolving from innocent fruit-eating species. How long before evolution itself decides to make life a little worse for us? Truth is, this is just another demonstration that anything you can imagine, can be real. Here's the article on National Geographic. http://allnall.httbonline.com/?p=17 A periodic podcast that deals with anything, everything or maybe nothing at all. Paul will discuss — usually with Alva, the other seminal host of thisBrownsfan’s Podcast — many informative, humorous, or just-plain-odd items and attempt to tie that into the overall effort of living and making sense of it ... http://allnall.httbonline.com/?p=4 A one-year old baby boy, subpoenaed for an outstanding debt. It just goes to show you, if they think you owe them some money, they will come and keep coming until you give in or prove them wrong. A question not related to the collections end of this story does ... http://allnall.httbonline.com/?p=16 Microsoft has spent considerable time and money on the PR alone for his OS, to no avail. Sure, Vista has a more protective security model and an updated look -- neither of which seem to be enough for people to voluntarily adopt the OS -- but is that really what ... http://allnall.httbonline.com/?p=15 In the wake of the Pennsylvania Primary, both Democrat candidates are off "spinning" the results -- as we expect them to. A closer look at the bottom-line results of Hillary's "decisive win" shows that it ain't so darned decisive after all. She picked up -- get this -- one more ... http://allnall.httbonline.com/?p=14 Some stories just don't go away, but get curiouser and curiouser. Now they've taken the substance, called graphene, and made a transistor one atom thick by ten atoms wide. That's pretty damned small and may lead the way to even more breakthroughs in this field. Can the marvels of science ... http://allnall.httbonline.com/?p=13 I got a kick out of this item on The Onion that was posted yesterday, and figured it best to share it with the world right here. If you don't get a laugh out of this one, you should probably 1) lighten up and/or 2) ask yourself why? Here's the ... http://allnall.httbonline.com/?p=12 While I can't say that any entry on this list shouldn't be here, I can say that anyone could remove one and add another, not listed, and pretty much be spot-on right anyway. The fact that it's NFL.com publishing the opinion on their own "product," if you will, actually bothers ... http://allnall.httbonline.com/?p=11 A major breakthrough in studying the universe, quantum mechanics and more? Maybe. It certainly seems that this breakthrough might be a little more palatable than the £4.5 Billion CERN Particle Accelerator, which is surrounded by controversy. The push to scientifically discover and then exploit a singularity is the fear attached ... http://allnall.httbonline.com/?p=8 First off, it's a shame that some societies are so misogynistic that we have to realize the horrible realities that this story points too; however, it is certainly instructive to see what kind of effect a social networking site such as FaceBook can have in a restrictive environment. I also ... http://allnall.httbonline.com/?p=7
