We had so many great submissions to our 1,000th episode that we couldn&#39;t fit all the clips in the show and do everything else we wanted. So, today you get all the clips--or at least most of them. Every clip sent to us that is usable is in today&#39;s montage. We&#39;ve credited everyone who sent us a clip, even if there was a problem with the submission and we couldn&#39;t use it. You&#39;re too cool BOL audience. Thanks for listening! And believe us, we know it&#39;s long. You don&#39;t have to listen to the whole thing if you don&#39;t want to.

Anthony	</p><p>EMAIL<br />Tom<br />Hi Buzz Crew,</p><p>I smiled as I listened to your discussion on measurements in episode<br />1008.</p><p>Being a metrologist [met-rol-o-gist] or measurement scientist (not<br />meteorologist, that is weather) it always amazes me that most people<br />take the measurements that support every facet of their lives for<br />granted.</p><p>Without all the metrologists that go about their jobs each day,<br />measuring and calibrating everything in the background, in mostly<br />unseen laboratories, you wouldn&amp;#8217;t even be able to get out of bed in<br />the morning.</p><p>Who has the time standards used to set your alarm clock, metrologists.<br />Who calibrates the scales that were used to make and package your<br />food, metrologists.<br />Who calibrates the measurement systems used to generate and monitor<br />your electric power, metrologists.<br />Who calibrates the temperature systems for your weather reports,<br />metrologists.<br />Who calibrates the liquid flow systems used to measure the gas<br />(petrol), diesel etc. into your car, Cooley?, metrologists do.<br />Who calibrates the measurement systems used to make medicines,<br />metrologists.</p><p>I could go on but I think you will see what I am getting at.</p><p>While it may sound like a boring job and definitely not a high profile<br />glamourous job like a podcast host, it is one of those things that<br />goes on in the background helping to make your day go smoother.</p><p>I love my job and while metrologists are only a small group of people<br />in the scheme of things, I find it tremendously satisfying to know<br />that what my colleagues and I do, ensures that we all live better lives.</p><p>Love the show.</p><p>Mark (the metrologist)</p><p>PS: See <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrology" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metrology</a> if you want to know<br />more about metrology.</p><img

It&amp;#8217;s an amazing tribute to what local<br />communities can do if they collaborate and put the pressure on.</p><p>Paul, the Brit in Hawaii.	</p><p>**********</p><p>Two things..<br />I don&#39;t see any risk of microbes from earth infecting another local planet, since any microbes already on the planet are well adapted to local conditions and our microbes would be wimps in comparison.<br />Likewise microbes from space is not a real concern...do you have ANY idea about how many different microbes/viruses are already on this planet (check out Bergey&#39;s manual for a list of sorts..it is the bible of microbiology).    The competition on this planet is extreme..<br />Have you not heard of Darwin?<br />From: Bob..Your tame microbiologist.</p><p>Your discussion about NASA was very interesting....it seems to support the concepts I&#39;ve outlined at <a href="http://www.h2liftship.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.h2liftship.com</a>  , which has had no response to speak of since I  put it up...such is the risk of being way forward thinking..</p><p>Thanks,<br />Bob Freeman	</p><p>**********</p><p>Hey there buzz crew<br />This is Rohan from India.</p><p>It is my first time writing to you guys.</p><p>Regarding the whole debate over the caps lock key, how about adapting<br />the &amp;#8220;double tap&amp;#8221; of the shift key like the iphone/ipod touch to<br />regular keyboards. I too accidentally hit the damned caps lock key on<br />my macbook and just wish that they would get rid of it.</p><p>On other topics (just to fuel your anger towards your telecom<br />companies), we Indians only have to pay 1 paisa (the &amp;#8220;cent&amp;#8221; of Rupees)<br />for sending an SMS, and nothing for receiving. If you take the current<br />exchange rates, that would be just 0.00021 U.S. cents. Enjoy!</p><p>Oh by the way, we converted to the Metric system in 1954 and just last<br />year have also planted our Flag on the moon.

Now, what happened to those of us in this generation is that we know an odd mish mash of units. Temperatures outside, well that is in Celsius, but when I cook I use Imperial measures, including temperature.  The temperature of my parents&#39; pool, I still do that in F.  Distances and speeds while driving, km and km/h are fine, distances to object, metres are great, but when I measure to say repair something in the house, I use inches.   Oh and I am 6 foot 1 inch tall, and weigh about 175 lb, I have no idea what my height or weight is in metric.  (I could convert of course, but I don&#39;t).</p><p>I am just confused....

The channel 3 is going to AIR the whole Prison Break series, ha? What you have to say about that? I&#39;ve heard it is 3 episode a day.<br />This is really stupid, let me tell you something, in Iran we have 7 channels over the air, analog and digital with standard definition, in Tehran less that 50% of people watch the Iranian TV and they mostly watch satellite TV.  And most of the people have watched these movies and series on DVD, so who cares that they are aired on TV?<br />And there are some people like me that never watch Iranian TV. I don&#39;t have a antenna for Iran&#39;s TV , and I only watch satellite TV.( who chooses watching Mullahs instead of watching MTV?)<br />My source of movies and series are satellite TV and torrent download (sorry, but no copyright law here and I really love to watch the latest series and movies).<br />Series like Prison break, Lost, Heroes, Office, Friends, CSI , 90210 , 24 and etc are big hits and everyone watches them in DVD or downloaded Divx. </p><p>So, all I&#39;m trying to say is that it does not matter if they air Lord of the Rings or Prison Break, because at least in Tehran no one cares and more than 60% percent or more don&#39;t watch any Iranian TV. We can buy a copied DVD for 2$ or an original one for 15$, now I buy BlueRay disks for 30$, why should we care what is one the TV when we can watch it with better quality and no censor?<br />They are doing anything they can to keep people off the streets but they can&#39;t, even one day marathon of Angelina Jolie movies can&#39;t do it.</p><p>Best Regards</p><p>Siavash 	</p><p>**********</p><p>It&amp;#8217;s not enough that humans gave robots a place to congregate   to plan our demise, now we&amp;#8217;ve adapted them with the ability to extract fuel from the very nectar of life. All that innocent experimentation with fuel cells that run on blood   has led to this, a flesh-eating clock. This prototype time-piece from UK-based designers James Auger and Jimmy Loizeau traps insects on flypaper stretched across its roller system before depositing them into a vat of bacteria. The ensuing chemical reaction, or &amp;#8220;digestion,&amp;#8221; is transformed into power that keeps the rollers rollin&amp;#8217; and the LCD clock ablaze. The pair offers an alternative design fueled by mice, another contraption whose robotic arm plucks insect-fuel from spider webs with the help of a video camera, and a lamp powered by insects lured to their deaths with ultraviolet LEDs. Man, this is so wrong it has to be right.</p><p>Michael	</p><p>**********</p><p>The crew at BOL:</p><p>You had a round of derision for english units on the replacement for the<br />space shuttle.

There *are* computers present, but they&amp;#8217;re in terrible shape and locked down to a point of being almost unusable. To install Linux on a project box I had to wait 3 months for approval from Washington (I worked at the cape), and I quit before I heard anything. In order to pull up engineering specs, you can&amp;#8217;t simply view them as a PDF from a database. You need to look up the part number, which is truncated because the system was built the year I was born (literally), make a PHONE CALL down to the document center, put in an order for a printout, and a couple hours later pick up your printout or request them to physically scan it and then send you a PDF.  Not only that, but there are major buildings in horrific disrepair, such as the Vehicle Assembly Building. </p><p>Sorry for this depressing e-mail, but people need to know about the state of what was once our nation&amp;#8217;s crown jewel. NASA needs a major reset. It has a culture that oppressively resists change and technological investment at every opportunity to a point where I believe it actually costs them more money and potentially more lives. If Obama shut NASA&amp;#8217;s doors (I hear Brian Cooley cheering) in favor of privatized space flight, such as Space-X, I wouldn&amp;#8217;t be surprised nor disappointed. </p><p>Love the show! </p><p>Mike the surfing chip designer in FL.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/cnet/buzzoutloud/~4/iE0hJPTgr1Y" height="1" width="1"/></div><div id="r2j-head"><a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/cnet/buzzoutloud/~3/utytYIT6wkM/8301-11455_1-10273037-10.html"  id="r2j-hlink">Buzz Out Loud 1005: I&#39;m Bill Gates, this beer is warm </a></div><div  id="r2j-hdesc"><a href="http://chkpt.zdnet.com/chkpt/1pcast.bole/http://podcast-files.cnet.com/podcast/cnet_buzzoutloud_062509.mp3"></a><p>Bill Gates is part of a team that has patented a new beer keg.

In large part to your constant harping about the DMCA takedown procedure&amp;#8217;s lack of consideration for fair use, I decided to tackle the issue as the topic of my paper topic in my Copyright seminar this past semester. I got an A in the class and sumbitted it to a copyright writing competition. I won the competition at the local level and will move on to the national competition. I got $600 from ASCAP for winning at the local level, so it turns out the ASCAP is actually good for something.</p><p>If you have any interest in reading the paper, you can find it here   (warning- it&amp;#8217;s long).</p><p>-Will the lawyer in Milwaukee	</p><p>***********</p><p>Hey All,</p><p>So Tom, from episode 1003, you had a 1977 Maverick?

It really means a lot to us (Persians).<br />Now a days in Tehran life has two different segments. First segment is from the morning till the noon around 12:00 to 13:00 that every one goes to work and do their usual stuff and from 14:00 to night we are on the streets fighting for a free and new Iran. So through this hard time (drink) one of the thing keeping me fresh , and eager to have some hours to myself is CNET podcasts, it makes me forget about everything and enters me in the world of tech and fun. Few days ago Natalie&#39;s theory for the Panasonic remote control on Gadgettes made me laugh so hard, I could not remember the last time I laughed like that.</p><p>Anyway, keep up the good work; I appreciate your care and attention, hoping for Freedom in Iran.</p><p>Best Regards</p><p>Siavash</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/cnet/buzzoutloud/~4/zTkpfAmY8ng" height="1" width="1"/></div><div id="r2j-head"><a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/cnet/buzzoutloud/~3/EbaEYcbHZ64/8301-11455_1-10270366-10.html"  id="r2j-hlink">Buzz Out Loud 1,002: The French Connection </a></div><div  id="r2j-hdesc"><a href="http://chkpt.zdnet.com/chkpt/1pcast.bole/http://podcast-files.cnet.com/podcast/cnet_buzzoutloud_062209.mp3"></a><p>Without Rafe and Brian Cooley on the show, we felt it was safe to have French tech podcaster Patrick Beja on the show to talk tech.

When I heard about Bozeman job services requesting applicants to provide username and passwords for social networking sites, I was totally in denial. Molly, Tom and Jason talking about  Bozeman, MT? How could this be? Afterall, Bozeman is no Silicon Valley.</p><p>As a current resident of Bozeman, I am glad to hear about my town on BOL, but the story does not put Bozeman in the best possible light. Good thing that they rescinded this policy. Please make sure the Buzz town is aware of this and this can somehow clear Bozeman&amp;#8217;s name a bit. Bozeman is a great little town (hmm, the smallest city I&amp;#8217;ve ever lived in, but the fifth largest city in MT) with great nature resources all around it and hope you all have a chance to come and visit this area. It is beautiful out here!</p><p>Any other BOL listeners in Bozeman?</p><p>Sandra	</p><p>**********</p><p>When is episode 2000? Approximately Thursday, June 13th, 2013. [It&#39;s the second Thursday of June - gonna have to bump it back a bit]</p><p>So how&amp;#8217;d I get that? First, I wrote a little script that would go through the months and count the number of weekdays for me. This gave me a nice estimate of how many BOLs there&amp;#8217;d be. But it didn&amp;#8217;t take into consideration the holidays. So I Googled a holiday list and came up with <a href="http://www.opm.gov/Operating_Status_Schedules/fedhol/2009.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.opm.gov/Operating_Status_Schedules/fedhol/2009.asp</a> and added those to the spreadsheet, too. I had the spreadsheet do the math for me to remove them and then run a count for me.</p><p>I did the last bit by hand, knowing that the last episode of May 2013 would be #1991, I counted into 2000 by hand.</p><p>A few other notable or neat episode numbers:<br />1194 &amp;#8211; Tuesday, March 30th, 2010 &amp;#8211; BOL&amp;#8217;s 10th Anniversary.<br />1234 &amp;#8211; Tuesday, May 25th, 2010<br />1250 &amp;#8211; Thursday, June 17th, 2010 [A third Thursday!]<br />1337 &amp;#8211; Thursday, October 21st, 2010 [A third Thursday!]<br />1500 &amp;#8211; Thursday, June 16th, ts on 1[A third Thursday!]<br />1750 &amp;#8211; Thursday, June 14th, 2012 [A second Thursday - booo]</p><p>All of these dates are obviously approximate &amp;#8211; Days off for things like CES travel and such aren&amp;#8217;t included, nor are double-episode days. </p><p>You can see the spreadsheet at <a href="http://bit.ly/bol2000math" rel="nofollow">http://bit.ly/bol2000math</a>.</p><p>Love the show, and &amp;#8216;grats on 1k!</p><p>Tommy in Kingston</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/cnet/buzzoutloud/~4/EbaEYcbHZ64" height="1" width="1"/></div></div>');
