The definition of scalability is in itself tricky.
If one get increase in sensitivity when the sensor is scaled down, then by definition it is “scalable”. However the same device would be consider “un-scalable” when it is scaled up. Such may be confusing. A solution can be adding extra info such as down-scalable, or up-scalable.
I sometimes wonder, what does it mean to have hudreds or thousands (or more) contact in your contact list, expecially the private social networking ones such as Facebook, Twitter, MSN ..etc?
Does it mean you are very popular and congenial? or simply you spend too much time on gadgets adding new contacts whom you barely care or know about?
At least to me, it felt superficial.
Is hating cockcroaches a form of racism?
following is definition from wiki–
Racism involves the belief in racial differences, which acts as a justification for non-equal treatment (which some regard as “discrimination”) of members of that race.[1] The term is commonly used negatively and is usually associated with race-based prejudice, violence, dislike, discrimination, or oppression, the term can also have varying and contested definitions. Racialism is a related term, sometimes intended to avoid these negative meanings. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, racism is a belief or ideology that all members of each racial group possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, in particular to distinguish it as being either superior or inferior to another racial group or racial groups. [7]
The Oxford English Dictionary defines racism as the “belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races” and the expression of such prejudice,[8] while the Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines it as a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority or inferiority of a particular racial group, and alternatively that it is also the prejudice based on such a belief.[9] The Macquarie Dictionary defines racism as: “the belief that human races have distinctive characteristics which determine their respective cultures, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right to rule or dominate others.”
It is human nature to follow the crowd, and tend to think what everyone does, must right. It is a way to stay safe.
One would tend to think such is not the case for academia and researches, but on the contrary. The deeper and less understood a subject is, the easier it is to create a following crowd.
The ability to do manupulations of materials at atomic and molecular level, should not be limited to only bottom-up fabrication processes, but also to decompositions.
