I've been pondering a question.

Way back, when I was first learning about HTML programming, the rule was (and still should be) to program for the least common denominator, as far as the equipment viewing the page goes. At that time, it was 640 x 480 screen resolution.
Lately, I've been thinking about something. With my new computer setup, I've been adjusting my photos according to how they look on my (quite beautiful) calibrated monitor. This is great for print, but looking at my other monitor, which is straight out of the box, basically the same thing everybody else has; my photos are significantly lacking. Does this mean I should be doing everything twice, the first for print on my good monitor, and again to the other one for online viewing?

Evidence of Higgs Boson revealed.




Just something I noticed the other night. I was reading the label of a package of candy cigarrettes I had been given, when I found something odd. The nutritional label states "Total Carb. 14g," but the front panel says,

"NEW WT .042 oz (12g)."

First off, what exactly is "New WT"? It must mean that they've found the Higgs Boson, and managed to remove several from the candy, because somehow, there's apparently 2g of sugar in it that have no mass. I really didn't know that the guys running the LHC at CERN had gotten that far.
