Brainy folks were also present in Lyndon Johnson's administration especially in the Pentagon where Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara's brilliant 'whiz kids' tried to micro-manage the Vietnam war with disastrous results.

By means of microscopic observation and astronomical projection the lotus flower can become the foundation for an entire theory of the universe and an agent whereby we may perceive Truth.

Because Microsoft seems to sometimes not trust customer choice they salt XP with all these little gizmos and trap doors to get people to try Microsoft stuff. But the reality is that we're downloading more players than we ever have on a worldwide basis.

There is so much temptation to hold on to my career even more now. To try to micromanage and dictate every little aspect. But that's not how I want to do things anymore. I'm thinking about how can I trust God more. How can I surrender more? How can I bring him more glory? It's a fight. But it's one I'm going to keep fighting.

Heckling is an act of cowardice. If you want to speak get up in front of the microphone and speak don't sit in the dark hiding. It's easy to hide and shout and waste people's time.

We see past time in a telescope and present time in a microscope. Hence the apparent enormities of the present.

I put instant coffee in a microwave oven and almost went back in time.

Teen movies often have an unspoken underlying premise in which high school is seen as less serious than the adult world. But when your head is encased in that microcosm it's the most serious time of your life.

I don't cook - I can cook - but I'm not very good. I like being asked over for dinner because she can't cook either. We would starve if it weren't for modern technology. I know how to work a microwave but love home cooked meals.

Well Microsoft really does develop some really interesting technology.

You know I do music. If you look under the hood of the industry I'm in it's all based on technology. From radio to phonographs to CDs it's all technology. Microphones reel-to-reels cameras editing chips it's all technology.

Microsoft is engaging in unlawful predatory practices that go well beyond the scope of fair competition.

Microsoft isn't evil they just make really crappy operating systems.

Sports is human life in microcosm.

Sports are a microcosm of society.

As a microbiologist I am particularly concerned with Mr. Bush's blatant disregard for science.

A permanent base on Mars would have a number of advantages beyond being a bonanza for planetary science and geology. If as some evidence suggests exotic micro-organisms have arisen independently of terrestrial life studying them could revolutionise biology medicine and biotechnology.

I like science fiction and physics things like that. Planets being sucked into black holes and the various vortexes that create possibility and what happens on the other side of the black hole. To me it's the microcosmic study of the macrocosmic universe in man and that's why I'm attracted to it.

Well we have a good working relationship with Microsoft at the development level. But let's not kid ourselves this is a company with enormous resources and talented people and there is a certain pride that comes along with that for them and for us.

But I'm not interested in politics. I lose interest the microsecond it ceases to be emotional when something becomes a political movement. What I'm interested in is emotions.

With our technology with objects literally three people in a garage can blow away what 200 people at Microsoft can do. Literally can blow it away. Corporate America has a need that is so huge and can save them so much money or make them so much money or cost them so much money if they miss it that they are going to fuel the object revolution.

I heard the Beatles and the Stones and Mom bought me an electric guitar. I played lead for four years and then switched to bass. One day someone suggested that I should sing so I sheepishly stepped up to the microphone and the rest is rock history.

There's a lot of interest from the medical community on how things develop in microgravity and the hope later that is expected to apply to what the changes are in humans as well.

I founded a launch company called International Microspace when I graduated medical school in 1989. We were trying to build a microsatellite launcher.
