I also happened to check out a geomap of subscribers, looks like I am the only one from Malta who subscribed, so I hope that considering our size here the plane won't just 'pass by' and drop the package into the sea instead [joke] :oP

Bizarre shapes created in water when spinning…. 2006-05-21 16:46:20 news @ nature.com - Geometric whirlpools revealed - Recipe for making symmetrical holes in water
is easy.
Bizarre
geometric shapes
that appear at the centre of swirling vortices in planetary atmospheres might be explained by a simple experiment with a bucket of water.
Researchers at the Technical University of Denmark in Lyngby have created similar geometric shapes (holes in the form of stars, squares, pentagons and hexagons) in whirlpools of water in a cylindrical bucket1. The shapes appear easily enough once the bucket is spinning
at a rate of one to seven revolutions per second, they say.
Tomas Bohr and colleagues made plexiglass buckets, 13 and 20 centimetres across, with metal bottoms that could be rotated at high speed by a motor. They filled the bucket with water and spun the bottom to whip up the liquid into a whirlpool that rose up the sides of the container.
This set-up is very similar to the rotating bucket that Isaac Newton used in the seventeenth centu

— so what? / Few really care — or understand — what’s inside anything
I refer to this article by David Lazarus
Sure, he does have a point in stating that the general folk do not really care about how things work, and therefore with the same logic, the same folk would not really care how the blessed thing works….
…yet in my opinion… David was targetting the wrong audience alltogether.
We obviously know that a concierge, or a policeman, or anyone not in the field is not going to care how these things work… and I agree… why should they? But then again, the most technicaly person David really contacted was a Software D.e.v.e.l.o.p.e.r…. as David correctly put it… this guy is not a Software E.n.g.i.n.e.e.r…. which means that he is never really gets in touch with how the machine actually works, but in comparison uses pre-written tools that will translate his code into whatever processor he or she is working Read more:Intel
