He was long a jewel of the MIT faculty. Now, after a devastating brain injury, mathematician Seymour Papert is struggling bravely to learn again how to think like, speak like, be like the man of genius he was. - Mladen Srdić

I love any type of humor science or math related. - Melissa
Including the one "LHC gives me a hadron" ? (: - Mladen Srdić
Math humour?: An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar.
The first one orders a beer. The second orders half a
beer. The third, a quarter of a beer. The bartender
says "You're all idiots", and pours two beers. - Brian Sullivan
My favorite : What is the line integral value of the closed curve around Western Europe? It's zero, because all the Poles are in the Eastern Europe. - Mladen Srdić
She He likes this fruit on these certain trees, and they were hard to reach, anyway it was up to them they do! The long and the short, the small and the tall, some hit their heads against the wall. That is all. - Jason
@Brandon kids asking it from god never consider "evolution did..." as answer. - silpol
How you doin, Mladen? Where have you been? How's school? ...and all that small talk. :) - Mona N.
Everything's good. I'm writing my bachelor thesis and work a lot, so I didn't have much time for FF. How are You? Have I missed something? (: - Mladen Srdić
It's like you've disappeared, examination period? - Andrew Trinh
Not exactly, just taking a long break from FF. Our schedule at work is tight and I'm writing my bachelor thesis, and sometimes I just take a glance at FF. I'll be back! (: - Mladen Srdić
I just chat thru gmail, is there a reason I should install gtalk? - Bec Rowe
If you have Gmail open all the time then perhaps not, but the interface is better than what you get inside Gmail. Gtalk is a small app though, so maybe worth a try? - Kol Tregaskes
I use GTalk, MSN and Skype; namely becuse I have different contacts who use different clients and when I tried a unified client it didn't really do video very well (might have changed now) - Owen

I installed it but resolved to use it later . . . *true story* - Lindsey
LOL True Story...oh man...that is fantastic. You don't mind me using that every now & again do you? oh....that is brilliant... - Zee.
I use it. Simple and powerful. Only thing I would like to see is an API. - Mladen Srdić
i already use Instapaper for that but i'll give it a try...later - Adarsh
I've used both google notebook and delicious with a specific tag like review, then consume the rss feed from that app in my rss reader. Now i've build my own rss reader and review process that works a lot better for me. - Shawn McCollum
i might do the switch...easily import instapaper feed...a seamless firefox extension (although CTRL+SPACE is already for ubiquity)...and login with google account - Adarsh
I use "Read it Later" extension, that import also into there websites. Really good must say, but not perfect. But I like it most. - Kristian Salonen
Adarsh : I remaped Ubiquity to Ctrl + Q, and use Ctrl + Space for Laterloop. - Mladen Srdić
history is fascinating! Don't get caught up in dates an numbers, get caught up in the stories, in the repeated mistakes ;) - Michael W. May

no way. History is fun. Especially when you start thinking how certain decisions might have changed the the world had they been taken differently! - Rahul Das
Agreed, Michael. Try searching for a history podcast on a subject that interests you. I got hooked onto The History of Rome and Military History podcasts. - Missile-TOW
It's not, though without a doubt there are boring teachers and books that simply don't do the subject justice. History is a lot more than a mere series of events, which is too often how it's presented. - Eric P
I love history; I took the AP European History exam in high school for fun (our school did not have that course at the time). - RAPatton
Oh, I've finished a few years ago with my history. Now I'm listening my girlfriend studying it. She's been talking without a break for at least 30 minutes now. And she is not bored. I don't mind the dates, never had problem with them. I just find some mathematical system to memorize them, and no problem! - Mladen Srdić
ON the FF page, clicking the Photos button doesn't do anything. :-( - Kol Tregaskes
I can't either. I've had this problem recently as well, now that I think about it. - Bec Rowe
It worked a little while ago though. - Kol Tregaskes
Strange, it's not working on my laptop, but is fine on my desktop, wonder what that could be? They both have the same FrF profile so must be something else. :-( - Kol Tregaskes
Hah, 2:33AM here right now. If I can't find anything entertaining to do within the next few minutes...guess I'm gonna pack it up, pack it in - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★
"Ladies! I don't care if it takes us all night, you will learn how to do this with no teeth! And you, on the end, you are gonna need to open up wider than that!" - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★
