You can't spell "forest fire" unless you begin with "fore"!

I'm calling BS on that. While it is a fire hazard to machine the stuff, it isn't THAT much of a fire hazard. It's routinely machined without more than a bucket of sand to prevent fires. I've even done it in my kitchen on a micro-lathe.

So, when I tossed my ball out from the brush to the fairway on the 14th hole at Rustic Canyon golf course yesterday,...

As long as you counted it as a stroke, what's the problem?

Just more evidence smart people will rule the world. They are sending people into space, discovering the origins of the universe, making cool apps, and getting insanely rich in the process. Graphine holds promise for application, like solar cells, desalination, electronics, building materials, and medical diagnostics.

Thanks for reminding me to get off the internet and approach a local company that just received a $10M govt contract for materials science research. We have developed a novel apparatus to watch paint dry.

When I was at Cornell (late 80s) materials science was the new hot field.

Thanks, Steve - that was interesting. Good work by your classmate. It sounds like he has quite the dry sense of humor.

I wonder, though -- now that this research has been published, will it have a disparate impact in the context of firefighter hiring exams? Should the research be suppressed for that reason? We have to keep our priorities straight, after all.

If anyone has not read The Diamond Age, I strongly recommend it. Simultaneously an exploration of the impact that nanotechnology could have on the future and an endorsement of the irreplaceable influence of parents.

I used to play with a guy with a titanium driver and sparks came off it regularly when he teed off.

I'm glad to see that there's a dress code at Rustic Canyon. Golfers in t-shirts really fry me. By the way, Steve, yesterday I noticed a threesome in their 30's or 40's using a cart at San Francisco Golf Club. As you probably know, at SFGC carts are only for the elderly or infirm. So I suppose they don't have enough caddies. Work Mexicans just won't do?

pretty similar to the geology majors.

materials science seems to be one of the physics fields not qualified for nobel physics prize consideration, yet in general it's more important than most of the physics fields they do award. what those guys do usually has a much bigger effect on everybody's life.

it's gonna require some new materials to achieve some of the next 'big science' projects. so one day it might be accepted for consideration for the physics prize, the way astronomy was. but i wouldn't count on it.

The problem is I hit the ball on a line requiring a 220 yard carry over a dry wash and carried it 210 yards, so I should have gone back about 190 yards to the nearest grassed area, the white tee.

I use titanium drill bits. Those things heat up like a sonofabitch like all drill bits do. Are they gonna stop making them now? I lay newspaper out under where I'm working and never had any problems.

Yeah Steve, at my club there are way too many short-knockers playing from the blues. The male ego is a very fragile thing.

Only if it's marked as a hazard. Otherwise, you'd have to play from the tee.

My alma mater was known as a good engineering school, and it was one of the few schools in the country to offer a degree in Mining Engineering. It was an extremely unpopular major at the time (the early 90's), as coal was considered a dying industry and fracking was all but unheard of. I imagine those few grads are laughing all the way to the bank.

One more of these, and Golfer Rage will become a hot-button political issue.

Look at Mohamed Morsi, the "precision surfaces expert"/associate prof at CSU Northridge--guy sure went places after that
