I like hot food, very hot food, but I don't see any of these hottest chilies making it to my pantry any time soon.
Outside of the curiosity of how much Capsaicin we can get a capsicum to produce, these don't appear terribly useful in dietary circles. Though I suppose someone could host a contest of gastonomic masochists to see who can eat the most.
For painkiller they might be useful. I grew Habanero peppers and a woman at work asked if she could have some for her grandfather. A day after I gave her bag of a dozen she said he really appreciated them - could he get some more. I was awestruck - "He ate all of them already?" No, he mashed them up and applied them to his arthritic hands to take the pain away. Aha. Well done, him. I had more than I needed and gave them as many as they could take - the plants really went to town from mid July to late August in Michigan heat and humidity.
I'd say it's more than sharing - it's about exposing ones thoughts in the desire for acknowledgement or acceptance.. I am not alone.
Also, useful for slagging others to prop up own self esteem and plugging ones own site/service/content or film one has participated in.
As for medicine.. I think it would be great to get more people on-line with folk remedies, to see if any actually have merit, i.e. chewing willow bark helped relieve my headache (this is the origin of Aspirin as salicylic acid.) The only worries I have, aside from a flood of quackery would be some billion dollar pharma concern buying up the track of land where the useful plant or bug lives and tries to patent the heck out of DNA or synthntesis to corner the market.
... will it work? Yahoo! tried this back in 2005 and it failed miserably. Too much promised up front with too little returned. Publishers dropped it like a potato before Yahoo! could improve the contextual workings to increase the CTR. I know because I tried it, and quickly discarded it.
Lesson is, don't promise something you can't deliver, or are planning to deliver at a later date. Odds are, publishers will return to the "tried and true" and never look back.
Yahoo's problem is the glut of ads in everything. I hated it so much I left Yahoo and all their groups and stuff behind. Perhaps if they weren't so intent on cramming ads in like crazy they might succeed with only a few here and there and ditch the *&$%@ flash ads. God, how I HATE flash ads.
After Right won out, the soldiers returned to their homes, their fields and their shops. Preference for talk of the long bloody battle faded and was replaced by the need for a coat of paint on the house, the weather and cracker barrel politics. A memorial was placed somewhere, where those who remember the dark days could pay homage, but soon too the grass grew high and the leafs of Autumn covered it, all while a new generation ran with boundless energy in the park nearby and soon the heroes were forgotten, with what had passed before living on in the result of deeds.
And the perfect setting for a new battle to foment on yet another front.
The US Government's status was just updated to "You're all guilty of something, just wait until we catch you!"
I'll tell ya what people are guilty of, travelers and airlines - letting people carry on those huge bags which take up 2 or 3 times the volume allowed. When are they going to start enforcing that little box, the one that says linear size
Should be an alert for this sort of thing - Warning: Flight is booked with people trying to bring on suitcases disguised as carryons! Alert level: Plaid!"
They can just call up and say "Boo!" in to the phone and watch the color code go up - it'll be their new little game, a terrorist version of Tetris - call it Terrotris.
Southwest and American sell their tickets only at their own websites because they don't want to pay out commissions. If this is the trend, then where does ITA fit? Even if Google could search those sites through their APIs (if they have them), those airlines won't pay Google for referrals or "conversions" - so how does Google make money?
Same way they do everywhere else, those little strips of advertising along the top, left and right margins. These will just be targeted toward travel things "Fantastic Bargain On Dramamine!", "Bob's Discount House Of Malaria Treatments!", "Airsickness Cures R Us", "Need A Good Thick Book For Layovers? We Have Books With Over 2,000 Pages!", "Bucky Pillow Warehouse".. etc.
Perhaps its more funding for the good ideas ITA has and will keep it going and bring it forward. But whatever happened to Google creating software like this? I thought of Google as an innovator, not an aggregator.
No, tidal forces literally do rip the star apart as it approaches the black hole. It would be torn to its constituent atoms long before it ever got near the event horizon.
Usually, and what I'm seeing described in the article, is that the gas from the star is pulled from it, which isn't too unusual where one large star with low density orbits a higher density star with greater mass. Energy emitted from the poles is only from the Black Hole itself, not the star being drawn in - likely the matter from the star will eventually contribute to that stream, though - as pole and disc are quite different locations.
This is pretty cool though, if it's as good as they're claiming. Maybe soon we'll have genuine 3D equipment that doesn't require headache-inducing tricks to render 3D. I'd be all for that, it'd be killer!
Considering it requires a backlight, I'm not so sure it's very practical. Also, 230nm thick, the first hurled Jujube would puncture it. Also, that's not a very sharp image. I wonder if they can improve the detail with different materials or that's it.
Unleash the kerosene powered tubes and *colonize* that sumbitch! Wrap a few trillion kilometers of copper wire around that thing and beam the power back to Earth, we need the energy!
It was probably a publicity stunt for another civilisation's equivalent of Coca-Cola and involved the band Disaster Area.
These colour changing holograms were amusing for the first 5 years, now they wear on me. Nice to see something other than nuclear disaster coming out of Japan.
While a star being stretched and pulled into a Black Hole, and perhaps giving out a death cry (rather poetically written as: "The energy stored in these beams is incredible, crushing our imagination into dust: for a time, they shone with the light of a trillion Suns!") is certainly fascinating stuff. It seems to me that within its own reality the Sun remains unstreched, unbent and happy as can be until it merges with that which is the black hole (which itself is converting matter to energy, emitted from its poles.)
Calling the FSB a rebadged KGB is a bit disingenuous, isn't it? I mean, one doesn't have to live in Russia to discern that these are two different organisations with different structures and, most importantly, goals.
Anything which reports to Vladimir Putin is still a Cagey Bee in my book.
I am reminded of a puzzle, where an ape is placed in a cage, with two possible ways of escape, as identified by those who placed the ape there to observe.
The ape found a third way.
Perhaps the best way to defeat someone nosing in on your conversation is to devise a simple way to communicate in code, which appears normal or actually creates such a massive barrier to decrypting your meaning that no software alone could handle it.
If I wanted to keep the Cage Bee out of my affairs I might actually resort to writing letters and dropping them in the mail in places where they can't easily intercept them.

So how many terrorists have these cameras caught?
All both of them.
Now you understand why GW Bush fanned terrorism by attacking Iraq.
Oh, officer. Officer.
Yeeeeessss??
Why did you pull me over?
Because your license plate was on my alert list.
Do I look like a terrorist?
No! You look lie a cocker spaniel with a severe case of mange and an overbite, but why take chances?
Look, I haven't done anything wrong. I need to get whatever is going on with my license plate cleared up. Can you tell me where to go?
OOOooooooh! Can I!
outside that dodgy diner where you get ptomaine and anime of dubious repute, all for a dollar, eh?

I think that's a normal life-cycle.
Have a good idea, promote it, get popular, get ingrained with your users, cash in, cash out, die. Seems to work.
Can't see why not. That's Myspace for you.

Fitting though, for the death of a star.
Get his man a turtleneck, joint, and a public television slot!
It's all relative, man. The star doesn't die, it ceases to be its own entity and combines with the mass of the Black Hole.

Remember, anything you "Read" is from reflected light. Ain't that a pretzel of the mind?
Is this a rhetorical phrase like ginormous, or is this number actually defined somewhere?
An Octillion is 1,000 Septillions.
A Septillion is 1,000 Augustillions.
An Augustillion is 1,000 Julytillions.
A Julytillion is 1,000 Junetillions.
A Junetillion is 1,000 Maytillions.
A Maytillion is 1,000 Apriltillions.
An Apriltillion is 1,000 Marchtillions.
And a Marchtillion is 1,074 Februarytillions (except every 4 years when it's exactly 1,000 Februarytillions.)
Next time look it up in Googol.
Is a distortion of both Time and Space.

If your country is an exception, count yourself lucky.
Count yourself delusional, more like... But if they think they can actually pull this off, the KGB is delusional. ...
Um. Notice how all these anti government protests are not in the following countries ... USA, Russia, China.
Moo.
