Lecture Hall Back-Channeling
emmastory writes "The New York Times is running a story on the phenomenon of lecture hall back-channeling - now that many conferences and universities have wireless access, some people discuss lectures via instant message or weblog as they happen. Although the article quotes an instructor at NYU, I haven't seen much of this in lectures I've attended there. I would guess it varies from department to department, but laptops aren't yet as common in classes as one might think. Either way, some people consider the practice rude, others consider it progress, and good arguments can be made on either side."
I don't know too much about wireless education, but I do know that CueCats rock.
plz post kthx.

The perineum is the area of skin rich in nerve endings that is located below the anus (the opening for bowel movements). For men, the perineum extends to the vaginal opening; for women it extends to the base of the testicles.
Because the perineum is so rich in nerve endings it often feels pleasing to have it touched or stroked. If one is comfortable with being touched on the perineum, its stimulation can be incorporated into a couple's lovemaking to further enhance sexual arousal.
To make stimulation smoother and more comfortable, it is often helpful to lubricate your fingers before stroking the perineum during lovemaking.
As long as the stimulation remains outside the body on the perineum, any type of lubricant (petroleum-base or water-base) will do.
However, because this kind of stimulation is often associated with insertion of the finger into the vagina or anus, or both, a water-base lubricant is recommended and preferred.
The anus is rich in nerve endings & participates with your genitals in the contractions of sexual arousal & orgasm. Anal stimulation greatly enhances & intensifies masturbation, oral sex, or intercourse. A good rule of thumb, when experimenting with anal play, is relax, use plenty of lube (the anus & rectum do not produce any lubrication of their own), and enjoy.

The vagina is rich in vulvatic sensor spots & cooperates with your clitoral system in the up and down movements of sexual arousal & orgasm. Vaginal stimulation greatly enhances & multiplies masturbation, perienium stimulation, and orgies. A good rule of thumb, when experimenting with vaginal stimulation, is to relax, and use one quart of 10W30 (the vagina produces no lubrication of its own during normal stimulation), and enjoy.

Lecture Hall Back-Channeling
:)
So, this doesn't have anything to do with sex in the back of the classroom?
OK, go ahead... waste your modpoints
I remember seeing when Microsoft visited my University some time ago a video about the TabletPC in academia.
:)), asking the professor a question over Messenger.
There was a lecture, and the lecturer had his TabletPC wirelessly connected to MSN Messenger. Students sitting maybe 20 feet away would tap in IMs to him to look at while lecturing, rather than actually speak!
I thought it was incredibly stupid, like people sitting next to each other and using Net Send rather than talking. Jesus, just stick your hand up and ask!
Later on, one of the students was sitting in his very nice room (you could tell it wasn't real just from that
Much jokey banter about "hey, it's so great how you love my lectures, but how about waiting until tomorrow!?". I'd never seen a lecturer use a smiley until then, which only added to the false feeling.
Ah, Microsoft. Dig yourself a market.
