Congrats.

Interesting, isn't it, how few Nobel prizes in "science" fields are
awarded to scientists living and working in red states. A few were born
in red states, but most moved west or north to continue their studies
and careers.

And conversely those with lesser intellect moved from the north, where
the better schools are, to the south and mid west to persue academic
excellence in studies of English and jingle writing.

Thank God for the good ol' USA, huh?

"Three years later, he went to work for the world-famous Bell Labs in
New Jersey, where he and Mr. Smith invented the ground-breaking
technology – back in 1969."

So, Don, what about that sociable deal I offered. You've not replied.

Doesn't he have to get approval from WAFA?

First I'd like to see you cleanup your own act and the behaviour of the
Dopey Army enlisted.
That would prove that you're serious and not just playing your usual games.

What would Margaret say about your actions in here?
Does she give her approval?

As you've said before, we can be responsible only for ourselves. I'll
start by not insulting you in this post.

Now, deal or no deal. It should be an easy choice, and it would help
clean up the group.

'Dopey Army enlisted' has meaning only to you.

Inventing the CCD, that is quite an achievement. Today, amateur
astronomers using cooled CCD cameras can do what only professionals
could do 20 years ago. The software sold for amateur astronomy ccd
work is really amazing.
I have gotten into CCD cameras to be used as x-ray detectors and they
are kinda interesting. Just bought a $7300 6 mm X 25 mm CCD chip with
4 stage cooling to get to -70C. It also has a $4200 controller. NO
WARRANTY because we want it without the window it normally has.
Our device actually will produce "X-ray Vision" but that means
something different from the way it sounds. What it will see is an x-
ray spectral image where various elements (iron, Titanium, Silicon,
etc) produce a different color on the image plane so you get an
elemental map of the subject.
