Water Cooler / This and that / Figure Out These Number Sequences
« on: January 29, 2013, 07:53:09 PM »

Here are some interesting number sequences. Can you figure out what they are?
Some advice: Don't waste too much time on the, "Outside The Box" sequences. You will not figure them out unless you Google them. 
Freebies:
1, 2, 4, 8, 16
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5
0, 1, 3, 6, 10
3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2
2, 3, 5, 7
1, 2, 6, 24, 120
Slightly Tricky:
1, 2, 5, 10, 17
1, 11, 21, 1211, 111221
59, 154, 605, 1111
1, 4, 27, 256
Math Comes In:
125, 376, 188, 94, 47
1, 2, 6, 20, 70
1, 1, 3, 11, 45, 197
1, 1, 5, 61, 1385
6, 28, 496, 8128
1, 5, 14, 30, 55
1, 2, 5, 15, 52
1, 2, 5, 14, 42
Outside The Box:
4, 8, 15, 16, 23
14, 23, 28, 33, 42
5, 9, 14, 27, 29, 54, 59
Here are the explanations:

The Tech Section / Science / Space / Making Atoms Colder Than Absolute Zero?
« on: January 05, 2013, 06:03:46 PM »

This is really hard for me to believe, but apparently some scientists have discovered a way to make atoms COLDER than absolute zero. This is accomplished with the clever use of laser beams and magnetic fields to very finely tune the atoms into a negative temperature reading.
This discovery may eventually lead to the development of engines that are more than 100% efficient and shed light on the dark energy that supposedly makes up 70% of our universe. I read the article below several times and if it is true then it is an amazing discovery. Remember cold fusion though...

The Tech Section / Operating Systems / My Computer Won't Stay Asleep
« on: December 10, 2012, 05:51:11 PM »

I give up. Everytime I put my computer to sleep it wakes up by itself. It's a fairly new Windows 7 machine that should only come out of sleep mode when a key is pressed on the keyboard, yet it seems to wake up all by itself. Incidentally, mouse movement does not wake it up. I can jiggle the mouse and shake the whole desk that the computer sits on and the computer stays asleep, but as soon as I walk out of the room I often times hear it powering up again.
Any ideas? This is driving me nuts. |

Water Cooler / This and that / Oliver Stone's Untold History of the United States

My wife and I just watched the first episode of, "Oliver Stone's Untold History of the United States" on Showtime last night. I would recommend that you watch it if you can record the series.
Oliver Stone narrates the events of World War II like you have probably have not heard before and it is fairly fast paced so you have to really pay attention. What you will get out of it in the end is that World War II was a lot more complicated than the way your teachers probably explained it to you in school. Watch it. |
