How about calling it Last Chance Saloon? (Just to be colourful and dramatic!).
This clip (and the others posted by 'ChristopherJSykes') are from the BBC show "Fun to Imagine". Been a few months, but I remember the 'Magnets (and 'Why?' questions...)' segment being particularly worthwhile if you're…
Again with the visualizing of a pre-newtonian world, a few years ago a physics TA (now a lecturer) made some observations on his Q&A sessions with some 1st years in Cambridge- they didn't hold up too well either but…
A similar idea is this firefox plugin, TeX the World: http://thewe.net/tex/ Pros: - Works on any site (I've only checked it out in gchat though). Cons: - Not as pretty (if it matters to you) and requires both sides to…

How about WWII? Mozilla coming from the remnants of Netscape was like the transition from the decimated Weimar Republic to Third Reich, starting over. Microsoft of course would represent USSR, and just to force the…
Sister's doing a PhD here (or there rather, from your POV). Back of the envelope calculation, she'd be earning roughly 10% more than the minimum wage if you view a PhD as a 36 hours/week job (I wouldn't). Pretty sure…
"And lucky indeed is the writer who has grown up in Ireland, for the English spoken there is so amusing and musical." Jaysus! Hasn't a bleedin' notion what he's bleating on about there; we're not like that at all, like.…
