Physics teacher wants to teach physics proper

A physics teacher begs for his subject back: An open letter to the UK Department for Education – wellingtongrey.net

I am a physics teacher. Or, at least I used to be. My subject is still called physics. My pupils will sit an exam and earn a GCSE in physics, but that exam doesn’t cover anything I recognize as physics. Over the past year the UK Department for Education and the AQA board changed the subject. They took the physics out of physics and replaced it with… something else, something nebulous and ill defined. I worry about this change. I worry about my pupils, I worry about the state of science education in this country, and I worry about the future physics teachers — if there will be any.

Congressman Who Took Money From RIAA/MPAA Says Congress Should Cut Funding To Colleges – Consumerist

“We’re spending a good deal of federal resources in terms of helping universities with their technological improvements, directly and indirectly,” Feeney said. “Is it responsible for a Congress that wants to protect intellectual property rights to continue to fund network enhancements for universities if some of those enhancements are indirectly being used in fact to promote intellectual property theft?”

So since the CIA and FBI traffic drugs is he going to cut their funding too?

MIT Scientists Pave the Way For Wireless Battery Charging – WSJ.com

A 60-watt light bulb that glows even though it isn’t wired to a power source could pave the way for wireless recharging of cellphone and laptop batteries and the operation of mobile robots without batteries, scientists reported.

A team of researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology reported in the online publication of the journal Science, that they had demonstrated wireless transmission of electric power by magnetically coupled resonators. They dubbed their technology “WiTricity” for wireless electricity.

Cold Heat Solder Iron for electronics, think twice

Cold Heat Soldering Iron — better than a traditional iron?

The Coldheat iron requires an non-conventional soldering technique. It is best used for occasional simple DIY electrical or mechanical work, such as soldering a thin wire onto a small bulb, soldering two passive components together or fixing a small broken wire; occasional spot-repairs in difficult places, where you were unable (or couldn’t be bothered) to plug in an ordinary iron and wait for it to heat up; quick, spot-joint repairs where you might want the iron to be cold enough to put away quickly afterwards; isolated electronic repairs where you were satisfied that no surrounding components would be damaged by the voltage present across the tip.

At first, I assumed our tuner had formed a mind meld with a cable box a few apartments over. My girlfriend regaled our visitors with tales of our TV-obsessed neighbor, a heterosexual male who loved large-chested women and Hollywood blockbusters. But even the most ravenous viewer couldn’t have this kind of appetite—some evenings I was getting free movies and porn on 20 channels at once.

I solved the mystery by consulting online message boards. At tech-y sites like AVS Forum, other voyeurs described their adventures in freeloading. Apparently, I was intercepting video-on-demand channels through the power of my Samsung’s QAM tuner.
