Re: NEWS: MT. St Helens just erupted
It's not an eruption, but an emission.  |

Yep, I'm in Washington, but all I ever hear about is Portland and Oregon. I just listen to the radio usually. They get the news out faster. Usually hear something on the radio a day or two before the TV news has anything to say about it.

'Sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic' - either Asimov or Clarke, original quote.

Re: NEWS: MT. St Helens just erupted
Really? I got this one from Dean Kamen the guy who made the segway scooter. They called him the Wizard of IT back when they didn't know what IT was.

Re: NEWS: MT. St Helens just erupted
That's the first time I've heard the Dean Kamen qoute, but I've heard the other one about a dozen times, and either of them were writing in the 30's.

Re: NEWS: MT. St Helens just erupted
It was a quote in an article I read several years ago. The quote caught my eye, so I saved it. It seemed fitting with my work on the Adamant Pics.

Don't forget the corollary:
"Any technology that IS distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced."
