If you don't want to resort to drugs (as fun as they can be), there's a quick and interesting solution. For example, say you're missing your right arm and are feeling phantom pain. You can put your left arm into a box with the top cut open. To the right of the box is a mirror angled upwards, creating a mirror image of your left arm as your right.
Apparently, this tricks the brain, and supposedly relieves all phantom pain instantly. It's been a while since I read the book so I forget the details, but it's from "Phantoms in the Brain: Probing the Mysteries of the Human Mind". The book is a great read if you're interested in phantom limbs, and other weird brain / mind disorders. Fascinating.
No, not the myth of the man strapping ICBMs to his impala.
I've seen a couple videos floating about, of a jet turbine engine powered 2nd gen MR2. There was even one on ebay, according to this site at least: http://maisonbisson.com/blog/post/10679/
The snippet mentions that the computer must first be "turned into a spam zombie".
What does this exactly entail? Does the computer first have to be compromised? Spyware/spamware installed through a backdoor? I've lightly read through the paper and it does mention that some sort of malware may be present on the victim's machine.
If so, I can't believe the lengths to which spammers will go to. This is breaking and entering, rather than just sending bulk unsolicited email.
I couldn't agree more. I've always wished Family Guy would return, and I rejoiced when it did.
But I find myself not watching FG anymore. It's always: "This is worse than the time I met so and so" *flashback*, "This is almost as bad as the time stewie did so and so" *flashback*, "This is worse than the time I was so and so", *flashback*.
It's getting old, imo. I don't remember FG seasons 1-3 being this formulaic.
I can't believe how many times I've read rumors of Futurama's return. Last I heard, there was a 'possibility' of a straight-to-dvd futurama feature.
I was incredibly excited at reading this snippet on slashdot - until I read the article. There seems to be nothing substantial in the article that indicates a probable return of Futurama.
Just a couple months ago, we mailed a "thank you" gift to a family friend in Paris. We shipped her a nice cashmere sweater.
We then found out that our friend had to pay an extra ~$50 fine to pick up the sweater - it was held by some sort of customs agency. Apparently, France has a ban on 'imported textiles' - if someone ships you a sweater, some socks, or even a tshirt, you'll be fined.
Lame, snobby, and stupid. If you don't like someone in france, send them a sock each day.
(offtopic, but whatever) On top of which - going forward at a good speed on a segway, then twisting the handle to pivot the segway, results in you being thrown straight off the segway due to inertia..
It's not that hard to fall off a segway - I've done so a couple times.:)
Slightly OT, but I've seen these petaboxes at a colo in SF - I believe they were being used for archive.org. The "Petabox" looks more like a more refined and professional version of Google's early, early, prototype corkboards. Google has these corkboard racks on display in the visitor's lobby of the google headquarters, along with another one being stored at the san jose computer history museum. They were google's first generation of servers, so today's solutions, I'd imagine, would be more elaborate, efficient, and finished - closer to the petabox.
The petabox looks like it is just a rack full of 1U servers, wired cleverly and efficiently. But stick racks of these into a tiny shipping container as a "prototype datacenter", and I'm sure all these guys would overheat.
You moron, did you really believe you could buy and develop land on the moon?
If you were even halfway serious about buying and developing on interstellar property, you would have at least bought properties from these guys. Buying moon land.. what a joke.
I'm not sure how the Warden "looks for files", but I believe, rather, it pulls the titles/names of the currently running windows and processes them into a hash before sending it out to the blizzard servers.
Now correct me if I'm wrong - but this has isn't (or shouldn't be) reversible, right?

That's nice. want a cookie?
haha - last time I posted the ol' "640kb should be enough for anyone" joke, I got flamed and modded down to -1 as a troll.
Apparently, it's not quite an accurate quote, and bill gates ever really said it in the first place?
Thanks for the link - great video.
It's a japanese fembot, though. Not the korean one mentioned in this article.

"She's built like a steakhouse, but she handles like a bistro!"
I wonder - would the heat from the engine bay cause the front (or rear) of the car to be a different color from the rear of the car?
Sounds like a plan!
I did some digging, and it may just be a certain type of dye used in our sweaters/textiles that they banned. an azo-dye.
Very strange country indeed.
