Tulip Phrase Of The Day

[SimonMac]

Just been in a meeting and they mentioned:

"Getting down to the atomic level"

If I worked at Fukishama I could agree with that type of language, but I don't so cut it out!

The silicon atom has 14 electrons, but their natural orbital arrangement allows only the outer four of these to be given to, accepted from, or shared with other atoms. These outer four electrons, called "valence" electrons, play an important role in the photovoltaic effect.

I've been dying to say 'Let's pop it into the coffee percolator and see if it comes out brown', but I lack the balls.

It's perfectly reasonable to use the word atomic when referring to indivisible units of something, and it crops up quite often in computing, as the A in ACID for example.

Has anyone ever tried to think around the box?

Atomic meant something before atomic power

Actually, before it makes less sense when used to refer to the "atom" seeing as how an atom is not the smallest unit!

[Wodewick]

I've been focusing "in that space" and I have also noticed some others that are working "in X space"
Bert for example has been exclusively "in Y space" this week!

WTF is "in that space" supposed to mean?
