>> Noam Chomskyの説は、"children are born with a hard-wired language acquisition device (LAD) in their brains"
>> ということらしい。私は全くの門外漢ではあるので、何とも言えないが、わざわざ"hard-wired"と言っている事もなど考慮して、「装置」としているのだとも思う。

「人間だけが生物として持つ言語器官があるのでは？」と言われると、自分の記憶が曖昧になる。チョムスキーは言語器官と呼ぶことがあったか？ linguistic organ? 私の記憶ではmental organ（心的器官）だ。試しにぐぐってみると、Emmon Bachが"human linguistic organ (UG?) "と言う用例があった。Emmon Bachは胡麻臭いなとも思うが、通じないほど変な言い回しでもない。いいか。

「One of the principal claims of ths book is that language make use of our general coginitive apparatus.」
Lakoffは、Chomskyに反論してるつもりなのに、言ってることがそっくりになるのが面白い。

Yes, Google won't even let me include com in my search, even as

This is a laser COM (computer output microfilm) system.
The materials were also evaluated in praxis by exposing them on a XFP2000 He/Ne Laser COM (trademarked product of ANACOMP), followed by processing as set forth hereinbefore.
Telecentric f.theta. lens system for laser COM
Abstract：A telecentric f.theta. lens system for use in a laser COM comprising, from the object field side, a first lens unit including at least one negative lens component for generating a large negative distortion, a second lens unit consisting of one or two positive lens components for compensating spherical aberration and astigmatism generated by the first lens unit, a third lens unit including at least one positive lens component for providing a telecentric characteristic and a fourth lens unit including three or four lens components for providing a small F number.
1) Originally, an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) was a company that supplied equipment to other companies to resell or incorporate into another product using the reseller's brand name. For example, a maker of refrigerators like Frigidaire might sell its refrigerators to a retailer like Sears to resell under a brand name owned by Sears. A number of companies, both equipment suppliers and equipment resellers, still use this meaning.
2) More recently, OEM is used to refer to the company that acquires a product or component and reuses or incorporates it into a new product with its own brand name.
The company's consumer-friendly software applications are designed for use by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in their products.
ここで OpenPeakが「OEM元」のはずなのに、OEM先を「original equipment manufacturers」と言ってる。
Using devices equipped with OpenPeak's unique interface software, consumers are able to wirelessly control and distribute digital content as well as control consumer electronics and home systems. OpenPeak also creates hardware reference designs for devices that enable the Digital Home, such as WiFi-IR and WiFi-Serial bridges. The company's software has been licensed to Philips Consumer Electronics and other OEM partners will be announced soon.
Original equipment manufacturer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
OEM is an acronym for Original Equipment Manufacturer.
An OEM is a company that builds components that are used in systems sold by another company called a value-added reseller or VAR. The practice of a VAR selling products with components from OEMs is common in the electronics and computer industry. Typically an OEM will build to order based on designs of the VAR.
In common usage, a VAR is sometimes called an OEM, despite this being a complete reversal of the literal meaning of both terms. This misunderstanding arises from use of the term OEM as a verb. For example, a VAR might say that they are going to OEM a new product, meaning they are going to offer a new product based on components from an OEM.
In recent years, some OEM's have also taken on a larger role in the design of the product they are manufacturing. The term ODM, Original Design Manufacturers is used to describe companies that design and manufacture a product that is then sold under other brand names.
OEM, when used to describe software, is used to differentiate that version of the software which is bundled with other hardware or software from that same software package sold on its own as a retail package. The packaging and legal rights that come with the OEM versions of a software package generally differ from what's provided with the retail versions, though the functionality of the software tends to be same. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_equipment_manufacturer

According to the rules of probability your chance of winning $1 is 1/2. The chances of $2 is 1/4, $4 is 1/8, ... and $2n-1 has a chance of 1/2n. Adding all the possible winnings together you get 1/2 + 12 + 1/2 + ..... but that is an infinite amount of money;
would you pay $1000 to play??.. even $100? Most people would not, and with good reason.
When Georges Leclerc, the Comte de Buffon simulated the game for a long period, he found that he would have only won $10,057 in 2084 games [This is in the age before computers, so he had a child flip a coin to simulate 2048 games, something in excess of 4000 flips of a coin]. That would be an average of about $5 per game if he worked in dollars.
