Due to the terms of the NDA, I can’t say.

Does the EULA involve any violations of the laws of thermodynamics?

Since I’m a physicist, I’ll just leave those details to the engineers.

My reply is unprintable on any Web site which your mother might read, Dr. Boom. But since you have heard me go off on such … malodorous … diatribes before, I’m sure that you can fill in the blanks.

Remember, mad physicists don’t make Maxwell’s Li’l Demon. Mad engineers do.

Clearly there are lots of spin-offs possible. Since such a gate is conceivably possible, it’s just a matter of engineering to make it practical. Since I’m a physicist, I’ll just leave those details to the engineers.

LOL! Can we have a species specific option??! No kids, but Buddy, a friend’s dog, visits when she’s not home. Occasionally this is for weeks at a time. I have cats. To keep the peace I baby gate the stairs. Can’t step over it – even if I wasn’t 5′ 4″, it’s on the top stair.

The bathroom is upstairs. The kitchen is upstairs. The cats are upstairs. The computer is downstairs. The TV is downstairs. The emotionally needy dog is downstairs.

I wind up downstairs, hungry, with my back teeth floating, on a regular basis when Buddy comes to visit. On the bright side, I also lose weight and get caught up on the bills, email and such.

Gosh, you’re a nerd. But I love you.
