Evolution doesn't work by changing yourself and passing on the changes to your children, but being happy with that mutation you gained (when you were just 1 cell) and thus manage to NOT get killed like everybody else before having children.
Since ads don't kill people (well, yet)....
But maybe I've got an old-style brain aswell
Hell when I'm sardine canned like we get at concerts and baseball games I can barely carry on a conversation.
Why would you want to carry on a conversation while being at a concert or attending a baseball game? I mean, you could do that at home (or in the wilderness if you want)
Your 'statistically on average' is right I think, but you should check your physics as ABS in fact dramatically decreases your braking distance on bitumen or concrete roads.
As I read today somewhere on/., ATI won't play along because some portions of their code are licensed to SGI and they are legally unable to open source it
Nope, Germany still uses QERTZ with seperate Umlauts. I actually type on a brand new. And a keyboard without easy Umlauts would be a major pain in the ass for all type of writers, e.g. newspapers, press agencies, etc..
Remapping the keys of a newly bought game surely is less a pain. And why would anyone need to change a photo or image just because a letter mapped different on a keyboard???
To be honest, in these days where you can easily note down your recent thoughts on you pda or even old-fashioned paper, I feel more than relieved to actually forget about all the problems at work shortly after I return home. Not true for general problem-solving ability though
I always thought that there is some psychological thing involved, like your sub-consciousness knowing that the person you're talking to is physically far away from you, thus making you rise your voice. Same as screaming into the speaker for intercontinental calls etc. And you need to think about the multitasking too. Walking through a mall trying to avoid people while having a descent conversation can be distracting. Though I have to admit that there are still a few snobs trying to tell the world how cool they are here.
Is there any official name for this phenomenon? Same as screaming into the speaker for intercontinental calls etc.
I'm using a similar case, probably an older version, and had a pretty hard time to stuff 4 hdds and a DVD-RW in it, definitely no more space left then. Consider that before you buy;)
I can only second that. We've got nod32 running on most of our XP client customers, aswell on most linux servers (amavis+postfix). Works like a charm, one can switch on "invisible" mode with autoaction for even the most stupid user, and it is way faster than any product I've ever seen.
I'm not 100% sure but I can only guess this ad originated from a company in Hamburg/Germany as a teaser to get a contract with Independence's mother-brand. It actually worked so far:) Some people then decided to contribute this movie to the ever-growing list of funny ads circulating on the net. How do I know? My girlfriend works for that company (which has also created/contributed to the latest european IKEA-ads) and some people there told here.
I remember a broadcast I watched on TV half a year ago. It was how to use infrasonic soundwaves to create atmosphere in cinemas. With all that THX and Dolby-stuff around two sound engineers who had worked together as close friends suddenly started to fight each other over something in the sound studio. Afterwards they realized that their mood had been seriously affected by unherable infrasonic soundwaves they used for the movie they were working on. The reporter said that this is used in pretty much every new movie to create an atmosphere of fear or rage among the viewers. I wonder how far this could be taken... There also seems to be a strange deep sound around in Europe. Nobody, not even the scientists measuring some American farts deep into the bavarian woods, was able to determine the source of that sound yet. Over 1000 people in Europe seem to be affected by that. They even made some conlusions about global soundwaves created by military sonar and stuff. Pretty scary...
So I'd like to know about every stupid signal I will get, purely encoded data or else. I'm not a technophile but those stuff scares me because I won't be able to switch off the router or TV anymore...
What has happened to that fancy laser-projecting keyboard mentioned quite a time ago here on./? Isn't it more cost effective to buy yourself a decent handheld with more memory/better display/ability to hold in one hand/expansion capability/maybe linux on in/that fancy laser-keyboard? You could do much more with it, it'll last longer because of above thoughts.
Or buy yourself a real laptop. Yay, it'll cost you more but I don't see the need to buy such an ugly peace just for word-processing. In this case, even an inflatable palm-keyboard would do for me. And finally this is going to be another big chunk in your bag besides palm/mobile/laptop etc...
And what will happen if somebody accidentally peels or scrubs this coating off? You'd end up with a huge interference just because grandpa ditched the bulb and all the people in the office nearby 'd be really pissed:-)
rinse, repeat...
Maybe one could insert some kind of EM-shielding fluid into the bulb and shake it 'round until it dries...
Slashdot Mirror
I'm pretty sure they keep enough chemical fire-extinguishers around for that exact reason
Well, then it doesn't seem like a bad idea to kill the yet-unknown original inhabitants by cross-contamination to keep the analogy up
I wish all those doing-nerdy-stuff-is-good-for-your-brain-somehow stories would cease to be made up by "some researcher" or editors!
not having RTFA but assuming it to be the usual bullshit

LOL, no it's not a virus!

But maybe she/they lied to me
but the bullet in her head already did its last microscopic movement
in sovjet russia, wildcat ferromones own you ymhh, not quite as funny as it was when I first thought of it...
I love the "uni-ball eye" from Mitsubishi most, though its roughly 4USD per pen.
But The Ur-Quan Masters is so fucking addictive... :)

And I definately something to syncronize my Palm with. For me only Outlook/Exchange did the job (hopefully, YET)
Then he'll probably need some consulting in how to get something to eat...
Hey, how do I put the darn EURO-Symbol in my comments?
...that the design completely sucks!
