Now that's the grain of truth at the heart of every comment about 3D. If it's not a hologram it's not good enough. Since the 1950s there has been 3D after 3D after 3D but all anyone wants is the hologram of Princess Leia from the movie.
And it seems likely that alcohol is more closely connected with selecting sexual partners.
But jokes aside alcohol does have calories, the absorbtion of alcohol interferes with the conversion of other food types to energy rather than fat, and it inhibits the absorbtion of nutrients so you have to eat more to get the same level of nutrition. Drinking alcohol regularly has to have an effect on body weight.
You mean like the robotic weapon that killed nine people and wounded 14 in October 2007? That was only news because it killed the wrong people. Bad Robot! Bad Robot! Unlike the Obama administration that targets rescuers at sites of drone missile strikes and mourners at the funerals of its victims. US military parlance for this double tapping. Bad President! Bad Policy! But not news because it's killing the right people, the innocent that live with the guilty.
My mother was an ambualance nurse and we lived in a place where most parts of the animal were eaten. When a friend asked why she never served brains my mother replied "not since the old lady went under the bus".
If you're interested in programming neural networks then a lot of extra resources and communities are available in French and to a lesser degree Italian. In Italian there are also publications and websites that deal with AL and AI (artificial life and artificial intelligence). I discovered them when I was looking at stupidology, that's the study of why intelligent people do stupid things that average people don't. The field has since been subsumed and renamed by psychology which is doing its best to bury it quietly. For general programming neither French nor Italian is any particular use, they're only useful for neural networks, AL and AI as far as I'm aware.
Amen to that! I'm ten hours into the tutorial for 2.5 and it still feels like gibberish - and I used to use Shade so it should be easy enough but it just ain't.
Quite, vector monitors made a lot of sense on CRT in the 1970s until raster won the battle and the choice became between a red or green text monitor. I remember the wows when the first amber monitor appeared and in a matter or months the choice was green or amber - and I poor fool that I was wanted a monitor with red text.
I saw a vector monitor on a game machine in 1983 and was forcibly reminded of just how beautiful they looked. On CRT nothing looks better than a vector monitor.
When I first learned to program the Taj Mahal was a public urinal in Wellington, Zealand. That building has since been turned into a Welsh bar (sounds interesting, I've never been though, never went back at all) but I do note that one brave couple have opened the Taj Mahal restaurant not so far away.
But jokes aside, I've often wondered if first the telephone system, and then later the Internet once it was opened to the public and grew like a mad thing, were not the first artificial life forms. A few decades later I realise that life is in fact a kind of feedback loop and I have not the slightest idea of what awareness is or isn't. This Knowledge Freebase does sound more like an artificial lifeform that anything else I've known.
Oh, and by the bye because I know I'm going to get burned for this post, intelligence is neither life nor awareness, it is a process.
Mostly I run a hobby business from the phone, the games just fill moments of leisure. Anything that expands what the phone can do is interesting and potentially worth money to me. The mouse knowledge is both new and very interesting to me and I'll follow up on it tonight.
Actually the only games I play on the phone are Deadly Dungeons (an Underworld homage) and Mystique 3 (wake up with no memory in an abandoned Russian Mental Hospital and try to escape, a Slashdot with less people scenario). Both of those are fine with touch screen controls. My problem is the look up, look down, look up, look down etc. The constant change from big screen to little screen and back again because there is no cursor and the TV isn't touch sensitive renders the whole scenario useless to me except for showing other people things using the Internet connection on the phone.
As you can see, my question is more general than playing console games on my phone. I don't enjoy console games very much.
I have a HTC One X and the MHL cable to connect to a HDTV and there is a slight problem with this idea. You have to look at the phone to see where the controls are and when you look at the phone you aren't looking at the big screen. I imagine there are solutions out there and I'd love to hear about them if anyone knows any.
Santa Monica is the best Californian accent to have to get laid in Australia - some of the LA accents are all but incomprehensible here and the San Diego accent is "strange" - sorry that's the best word I have for it.
The best way to use the accent if you have it is to have their attention first without saying anything, wait a moment (half a second to a second - enough to let them make assumptions subconsciously) while looking at them with a smile that is probably better a grin than a cheesy smile. Then let let the smile spread to your eyes and say "Hi". Just like shooting fish in a barrel.
A Canadian or Californian accent is a big plus in the romance stakes here in Australia. Regional accents from North America can be more help or less depnding on the accent. At a guess I'd say a Louisiana accent was the best and even a broad Brooklyn accent was some advantage. Naturally a lot depends on the packaging but any American accent wil help to get you laid in Australia.
Bundaberg Rum is actually quite yummy once you get past its strong, er, personality. Drunk in excess however, and excess is significantly less than for other spirits, it will find the worst aspects of your personality and make you a slave to them for a while. The last time I drank it I punched my friend's father when I was Best man at his son's wedding. I strongly advise experimenting with it in a non-social setting if you feel you must experiment with it at all. There are plenty of deserted beaches that are quite suitable.
We do have shrimp as well as prawns, it's just that while they're the same basic animal prawns can get really big, bigger than marron sometimes, and shrimps are necessarily small, about thumbnail size.
We use a lot of food names differently, for example papaya are called pawpaw, which is apparently really a fruit indigenous to the Ozark Mountains and whose name we got from the gold miners from California who came to Victoria and New South Wales 150 years ago. And so because papayas are universally called pawpaw here the word papaya is used for a particular kind of "pawpaw".
Two other common words the Yankee miners gave us are goanna (iguana) for the big local lizards and possum (opossum) for a similar and closely related critter.
And just for the record, the word barbie comes from the US too, through the word barbacoa.
Just to get things straight here, you do know that unicorns have a well documented and actual basis in fact stemming from the rare but widespread occasional goat with a single horn which somehow got turned into a horse with a horn. I strongly suggest you google "unicorn goat images" if you doubt.
In tradional Korean culture it was considered repectful to get totally tanked on rice wine, makkoli, before meeting the new boss for the first time or anything that required great respect. The idea behind it was that you couldn't hide behind convention and you showed your true self. Some of that has to remain in today's culture because these things are never completely forgotten.
Well, China did have its own mythical unicorn called the qilin and when a series of Chinese fleets sailed to Africa in the 1400s and brought back giraffes and the Chinese had their qilin unicorns.
My sample is very small, only four people. but none of them ever had any kind of cancer. The three whose deaths I know about were caused by strokes or a heart attacks.
Smoking is a cause of both heart attack and emphysema - I once imitated my father's emphysema cough at work to get an afternoon off and so scared my bosses that I was immediately rushed to sick bay and had to admit to the medic what I'd done to avoid being sent to the hospital for tests.
Drinking is linked in these men's cases with Korsakov's syndrome, getting drunk and being run over and probably the strokes. My Old Man never got over having to clean up the remains of his friend who was killed half an hour after reliving my father as gun-layer in 1944. At one point he drank so much that the soles of his feet were two masses semi-supporating disgustingness. He was left by a woman who had no further use for him, found himself a woman who needed him, got his house and himself in order, lived for another quarter century drinking very little and smoking a lot. He died at the age of 77 of a stroke.
As for being sceptical, well, let's just say that I've seen a lot of genuine coincidences and I've learned to never discount the possibility, It's my personal belief that the two are a straight cause and effect situation but I'm not going to discount the possibilty of a series of coincidences.
My father was is the first lot of troops into Nagasaki and he stayed there for as part of the Japanese Occupation Force. They were given no warnings about radiation, no protective equipment, and allowed to pick and pry wherever they wanted among the ruins. HIs photos were taken from pretty much every part of the city.
He had no health problems that could be attributed to radiation. Those of his friends and shipmates who were there also were the same. In every case when they suffered serious ill health it was due to smoking or drinking.
What I have noticed though is curious congenital conditions occasionally popping up in their children, about 1 child in 4 or 5, when there was no history of it previously. This may or may not be coincidence but while these conditions may be awkward for those that have them, no-one has died from one yet.
I myself have worked with radioactive materiels and while they creep the bejesus out of anyone who has anything to do with them the radiation is not overly dangerous at low levels except over long periods, say taking x-rays every day. Even spending six months in Nagasaki starting two weeks after they dropped a plutonium bomb on it didn't cause any problems among the people I know who did it.

Do you have any evidence to support that? Anecdotal evidence is fine.
In New Zealand they say that Australian women have the best sense of humour in the world and continually prove it by marrying Australian men.

I believe the line went something like: That vale of paradise, ever waiting to corral even the wildest of unicorns.
I can't even remember where it comes from though.

No, that's the bean burritos.

Now that does work!
Thank you.
