As for the lag, that reminds me of a book I read, I believe it's called Permutation City. In the book people's minds were "copied" to large computers that would give them the illusion of reality. The trick was that the more you paid for your little slice of "reality" the more cycles you got on the computer. So, if you were rich you got pretty much real-time simulated reality, if you went low-budget your minute could equal an hour in real-time. Very interesting when they wanted to interact with the living.
Neither can I. You have obviously given this a lot of thought. I especially liked... "If you've got liquid bowel contents, then farting isn't wise no matter where you are". Ha!
So, in a near-weightless environment, if belching would result in vomiting what would farting result in? Crapping your shorts? Looks like the inhabitants of the ISS are in for a rough ride...
I think the fact that this article even exists should tell Microsoft something. I can't tell you how many people I've heard say they will never switch from XP to Vista. It's just not worth it. Where's the incentive?
Or, perhaps this is just a way to lure someone looking for the easy target. It's... the... biggest... honeypot... EVER! It's what I'd do. Maybe I should be the new director.
Well, if you're using a Palm device there is a decent dice roller called Gamer's Dice Roller. Can't remember where I downloaded it from, but the help screen says...
Actually the official site states that 250 lbs is the passenger payload, with another 75 lbs for cargo. If he weighs more than 325 lbs he's out of luck. He won't break it however (pun intended) as the chassis can support 7 tons!
I beg to differ, in this day and age the X would
stand for Xtreme!!! What the hell does that mean? I can say ANYTHING is extreme and all of a sudden it's better? What's next? What will be the
next big adjective used to funnel the pathetic
masses isto the theatres. It's sad, really.

Maybe now I will get an Intersect in MY head!

Don't feel bad, she was obviously a Slayer.
