Okay...

The x-tens are online.

Gentlemen, I am now about send a signal

From this laptop through our local isp

Racing down fiber-optic cable at the speed of light

To san francisco, bouncing off a satellite

In geosynchronous orbit to lisbon, portugal,

Where the data packets

Will be handed off to submerged trans-atlantic cables

Terminating in halifax, nova scotia

And transferred across the continent

Via microwave relays back to our isp

And the x-ten receiver attached to this...

Lamp.

Look at me. look at me. I've got goose bumps.

Are we ready on the stereo?

Go for stereo.

Hey, guys.

Hi. hello. hello.

It's a little loud.

No problem-- turning it down.

San francisco, lisbon, halifax...

And voila.

Okay, thanks.

Hang on, hang on. do you not realize what we just did?

Yeah, you turned your stereo down with you laptop.

No, we turned our stereo down by sending a snall

Around the world via the internet.

You know, you can just get one of those universal remotes

At radio shack. they're really cheap.

No, no. You don't get it.

Howard, enable public access.

Public access enabled.

Boy, that's terrific. I'll see ya.

No, hang on, hang on.

See?

No.

Someone in szechwan province, china

is using his computer

To turn our lights on and off.

Well, that's handy.

Here is the question. Why?

Because we can.

They found the remote-control cars.

Well, wait, wait, what's on top of that?

Wireless web cams. wave hello.

The monster truck is out of austin, texas,

And the blue viper is being operated

From suburban tel aviv.

You may want to put on slacks.

What?

Ew, stop it.

No leave me alone

Who's running the red corvette?

That would be me.


The.Cooper.Hofstadter.Polarization

You know, in the future

When we're disembodied brains in jars,

We're going to look back at this as eight hours well wasted.

I don't want to be in a jar.

I want my brain in an android body.

Eight feet tall and ripped.

I'm with you.

I just have to make sure that if I'm a synthetic human,

I'd still be jewish.

I promised my mother.

I suppose you could have your android penis circumcised,

But that's something

Your rabbi would have to discuss with the manufacturer.

Not to mention you'd have to power down on saturdays.

Sheldon, why is this letter in the trash?

Well, there's always the possibility that a trash can

Spontaneously formed around the letter,

But occam's razor

Would suggest that someone threw it out.

It's from the institute for experimental physics.

They want us to present our paper

On the properties of supersolids

At the topical conference on bose einstein condensates.

I know, I read it before I threw it out.

Okay, if I may drill down to the bedrock of my question

Why did you throw it out?

Because I have no interest in standing in the rose room

Of the Pasadena Marriott

In front of a group of judgmental strangers

Who wouldn't recognize true genius

If it was standing in front of them giving a speech.

Which, if I were there, it would be.

I don't know, sheldon.

Those topical conference on bose einstein condensates

Parties are legendary.

Forget the parties.

Forget the parties? what a nerd.

Are there any other honors I've gotten that I don't know about?

Did ups drop off a nobel prize

With my name on it?

Leonard, please don't take this the wrong way,

But the day you win a nobel prize

Is the day I begin my research
