    How do you address the issue of blink synchronization when more people are present? A loud sudden clap might work, will force most people to blink. An added benefit of course is that you can use The Clapper to turn the lights on and off instead of using that sensor on your eye.

    There is also the third kind - the type I ofter experience because my name is quite difficult to pronounce. When I pick up the phone all I can hear is - struggle to pronounce the name, then sigh, and then they hang up. Who knew having a name like Zilstrassgoulfmahnsen would have such benefits...

    >however masochistic they may be
    Windows users are far more masochistic. And what's even worse - they suffer for nothing/nobody. Well, technically, of course, there is that whole well being of M$ thing...

    thanks for pointing out, of course that too. Probably even more than the first one. And that is another proof that slavery, in one form or another, still existed (then and exists today).

    I noticed that the downfall of Rome started... The term "Fall of Rome" only applies to Wester Roman Empire (I guess because Rome was in it). The empire itself did not fall, but divided and Byzantine - Eastern Roman Empire with Constantinople as the new Rome - dominated the region for a thousand years more, most of the Roman laws worked there. Also, Constantine did not convert the empire. I do agree that religion or faith can be very powerful and in wrong hands can become dangerous, we see examples of that every day. And at the times of Tsar Bomba - soviet scientists (even though scientists are supposed to be reasonable people) had faith in communism and believed that every western country was planning to attack them. It could have been influenced by the fact that Stalin (who died not too long before that) had religious education...

    I think you got it all wrong. Tobacco companies will sue the "first hand" smokers, because they are letting the others use that smoke without paying for it. All smoker should collect the exhaled smoke...
