It's a shame they're not soliciting any new submissions. comment:www.metafilter.com,2008:site.46069-1081799 Sat, 22 Oct 2005 18:57:11 -0800 Loser http://www.metafilter.com/46069/Tangible-Applications-of-Science#1081820 Neat stuff, and there's a lot of content there. comment:www.metafilter.com,2008:site.46069-1081820 Sat, 22 Oct 2005 19:34:45 -0800 euphorb http://www.metafilter.com/46069/Tangible-Applications-of-Science#1081866 I really liked the game theory discussion, but I'm a math nerd. comment:www.metafilter.com,2008:site.46069-1081866 Sat, 22 Oct 2005 20:38:23 -0800 onalark http://www.metafilter.com/46069/Tangible-Applications-of-Science#1081878 Metafilter: you know it's time to sit down. comment:www.metafilter.com,2008:site.46069-1081878 Sat, 22 Oct 2005 20:57:27 -0800 odinsdream http://www.metafilter.com/46069/Tangible-Applications-of-Science#1081925 the hepatitis stuff is weak. comment:www.metafilter.com,2008:site.46069-1081925 Sat, 22 Oct 2005 22:19:47 -0800 brandz http://www.metafilter.com/46069/Tangible-Applications-of-Science#1081935 brandz, anything in particular? comment:www.metafilter.com,2008:site.46069-1081935 Sat, 22 Oct 2005 22:49:02 -0800 Gyan http://www.metafilter.com/46069/Tangible-Applications-of-Science#1081950 The selection of available languages is interesting.
