    Well I guess those responses tell me what I wanted to know.

    I made my above post before I saw the "Consumer Help Forum" thread in the "Feedback" forum. If I had seen that first, I wouldn't have...

    So consumers aren't allowed to post, but "feedback is welcome"? Am I the only one who thinks there is something wrong here?

    We even have Johns specifically asking for feedback above.

    Since cmbrumbaugh is a financial professional, I'm sure he can say that he has heard this before.

    The opticians say "We don't have any money, talk to ODs".

    "Said the rocket man, winking an eye,
    Into orbits computers must fly.
    Now it might be more sound
    if they stayed on the ground,
    but people want pi in the sky."

    Yes it is. And the fact that Isaac Newton was able to calculate all the orbits of all the planets around the sun, and of the moon around the earth, all with great precision is remarkable too. All of...

    I'm not quite sure what you are trying to say in your last post Rinselberg. I have no concerns "to address [...] via email to Jean-Francois Roch" because I don't disagree with the experiment at all....

    I always find it amusing to read these interpretations of quantum mechanics. The real scientists who work with it have no trouble with its concepts at all. It's the tech writers, people who are...

    The problem I have with quoting articles like this is that it is being taken out of context. The person who wrote it writes articles all...

    This is called "Scambaiting". BE CAREFUL when you do anything like this. The people you are dealing with are criminals. Yes the possibility that they would find you and do anything to you are rather...

    There are some forums where responding to a an "old" thread is against the forum guidelines. It is known as "thread necromancy".

    The reason thread necromancy is discouraged is because it creates...

    Methinks someone has read C.S. Lewis. :)

    Every time someone comes up with a cosmological theory, someone else finds something wrong with it. I bet that 200 years from now, they will look back and laugh at us just like we now laugh at the...

    Again I'm sorry Rinselberg but I think we are just going to have to agree to disagree on this one. Black holes and Hawking radiation don't mean any more to me than little green men. I think our...

    I am fairly certain that folding@home - or FAH as we call it - is not a BOINC. I have nothing against BOINC mind you, but the cancer and parkinsons's research "hits home" for me, so that's why I do...

    I agree that QED is the only way to "really" explain what happens with light propagation. I was afraid to say that here, since most people look at me like I have three heads when I say the words...

    Wow, I visit the "Ophthalmic Optics" forum for the first time in 6 months and find a question that someone with physics degree (like me) can answer!

    First start with an uncoated lens. A portion...

    I never claimed to be a "specialist". But when someone says something that I know is false, then I know it's false.

    Sorry you can't get away with that one. I do notice the distortion and I notice it fully. It's just a whole lot less than what you think it is, and that is a fact. When I put them on for the first...
