It worked for me, although it's lagging again. But I got to hear most of the punchline live. Try refreshing the page. It worked for me, although it’s lagging again.

Feed is lagging, but doesn’t look like anything is getting cut out, it’s just choppy.

You’re lucky, I can’t even catch an entire sentence.

Where does this energy go to. I believe that protons neutrons and electrons are just pure energy and the level of energy. A certain amount of energy makes a proton, a certain amount of energy makes a neutron and so on for an electron, also with the quarks too. If a mass or energy takes up space then it still has a radius and diameter or dimensions. The shape can still be altered.

]]> Comment on Unpaid Internships and Power by Trust Fund Baby http://excitedstate.wordpress.com/2009/09/10/unpaid-internships-and-power/#comment-281 Trust Fund Baby Mon, 28 Sep 2009 21:32:13 +0000 http://excitedstate.wordpress.com/?p=272#comment-281 When I was that semester at State U., I didn't go anywhere, most of the other kids were so much better academically than I was. But when the semester ended, I could leave them all in the dust, with that great arts internship in NYC my daddy arranged, while they were to actually work to earn tuition money. Oh well. Poor things. (My internship was unfortunately unpaid, as apparently, even with daddy's help, they somehow figured out that I wasn't up to work much.) Then, with this experience, and a recommendation from daddy's friend claiming that my internship work was great, I could even get into a better (more expensive) private college! And now I have a job in the arts world, where the main task is to look good. Unfortunately, I never heard from the kids at State U. again, guess they must be working hard in some labs or such. So, hooray for unpaid internships! They keep the riff-raff out of the arts world! And make this country a meritocracy. ---Trust Fund Baby (P.Sp. Meritocracy works for politics, too, see: http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/08/31/there-goes-the-meritocracy/ (She had an internship, too, and it helped!) http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2009/08/30/royalty/index.html ) (The above may be fiction, but perhaps someone can repost it at Mr. Cuban's blog [without this disclaimer]. Seems one has to be equally rich in his part of the entertainment/sports industry. My apologies to the arts world (which really has many dedicated people in it, and non-profits with small margins). As for poor schmucks toughening it out without pay in yukky basement labs, for a chance at becoming an underpaid postdoc 10 years later, tough luck!)
