A list of writings to be proud about!

You are surely joking Guest posts are very good though.

For example, if you want to copy information on your real desktop, smash your books and notebooks over your monitor and other books.

You did not see my monitor yet with all the sticky notes attached to it as well as my work table I like the idea of smashing, but maybe only for books that I don’t quite like and old CRT monitors. Oh, probably I have to ask Kari to buy me a flat panel at some point… Although he will not be presumably willing to spend money to a postdoc who is going to leave in several months

That’s the particle physicist’s approach. I mean a crazy particle physicist.

I think it’s a honour to be crazy particle physicist

Concering bumping on your desktop, that’s what the newest Cosmic Variance posting is doing with iPods, too.

Is everyone into bumping? Bumping can be extrapolated from PCs and iPods to the real life, too. For example, if you want to copy information on your real desktop, smash your books and notebooks over your monitor and other books. They will be cracked, ink will spread, scars will imprint from one place to another, and the information will be copied if it is classical (because quantum information can’t be xeroxed).

That’s the particle physicist’s approach. I mean a crazy particle physicist. So let me continue with my and Moshe’s conservative attitudes to the desktop (even though with his Apples and Oranges, he’s not really that conservative, and neither am I with Windows 7 running in a virtual box).
