is the loud speakers. I used to see the same thing with construction supervisor types in restaraunts with radiophones, back before the modern mobils became possible. Now they do it with mobile phones, along with lots of other people who never had access to a radiophone.
And of course, some people talk at the top of their voice even when they're sitting face-to-face with the people they're talking to. (And have a tendency to be complaining about their family problems or some other crap you particularly don't want to hear.)
The ringers are annoying during a movie, concert, lecture, exam, etc., but much more often it is the overly loud yakking that annoys. I hate sitting in a restaraunt and having to raise my voice to talk to someone at the table with me because someone four tables away is hollering into a cell.

I thought the goal for bikers was to avoid being spread out over too large an area.

But the next generation of fembots will be able to pass the foreplay test and then beat you to death with their bouncies.

Also a cheap Viagra substitute for the S&M crowd.

The way I heard it, you use a gerbil instead of the salt and wax paper.

You could strap a shark to the bottom of the airplane...
PNG and JPEG are for very different purposes.
JPEG for porn, PNG for everything else?

> Thinking humans can make or break it is arrogant and egotistical, to say the least.
That's an odd sentiment.
What, precisely, are the bounds on how bigh a mess we can make, or how badly we can screw up?
And why would higher bounds be more arrogant/egotistical than lower ones?

Yes, and think how much more of the world will be "offshore" after the sea level rises!

What about the other... Oh, never mind.

The fake-sounding ooohs and aaahs, or the fake-sounding music?

That's just a commercial, silly.

IIRC, someone has looked into this and found that there isn't any correlation between the reversals and die-offs.

I'd prefer that craxors restrained themselves until the billboards are widely deployed.
Sounds like a remake of Perils of Gwendoline.
