..is it just me, or is this article screamingly ironic. To write an article about Not Taking The Game Seriously, it sounds like Someone Has Taken The Game Too Seriously
..Interesting - I just returned [I stumbled off the plane, replete with stubble] a few hours ago from Hong Kong, and immersed myself in the 'tech scene' over there - and hadn't heard a peep about it. To me actually, i beleive I saw cable prices more expensive than this - very interesting.
I happened to be operating the AV for the meeting of the Australian Packaging Organisation, and they were discussing RFID's, and their applications, and the interest from razor manufacturers.
Basically, razors are regarded as the most expensive small item avaliable in a store. Closed research showed that on average for one location, about 2 packs of razors per hour were sold. By introducing RFID's, the the base station notices that morethan the average of razors are removed, then there is the possiblity of theft.
Apparently, investment in this tech. would significantly reduce the costs of theft.
It's an interesting point you raise. As you say, evidently life did survive. But if the last switch was 700k+ years ago, I doubt they had such a dependance on technology as we do.
The sheer scale of repercussions of this are truly staggering... just wait till the media gets hold of it, y2k fever all over again:)
It's been looming for a long time now - we're about 10,000 years over due.
Scientists study volcanic rocks, and see which way their poles are aligned. Over time, there have been quite a few flips, and stages where there has been no field at all.
Interesting to see what qill happen to a culture that depends on magnetic polarity..
..but we've used one at work [AudioVideo company] for years now. It's called a GyroMouse, and can be put on a surface, to work like a normal mouse, or picked up to work as a wireless tilt thing.
Sounds like my dad.. He used to be a sheet metal worker, and in his lunch hours roll carbite into bread and feed it to pigeons [carbite and water are used to make acetelyne]
they used to fly into the trees and explode a short while later
Sure. I sell the stuff, and i've seen cases where people 'borrow' or blatantly rip off content, and have lawsuits arrive on their doorstep the next day. Usually it's a sease-and-desist arrangement on the first offense, but you can be charged up to $60US per illegal image per day.
I can forsee trouble ahead here. There's actually no such thing as public domain porn.
The penalties for illegal transfer of copyrighted porn are harsh, and in my experience, such litigation events are open-close-pay-lots-of-money to them affairs
One of the most comprehensive books you will find is probably "College Physics". It covers virtually every aspect from motion, right through to quantum.
I used this as a reference whilst in college, and found it a fantastic book - enjoyable to read, no verbosity, and has plenty of meat to sink your teeth into.
A great companion book is "problems in physics", which is a compilation of physics questions, again, covering the entire physics spectrum, and going from the easy to the ridiculous.
Well actually, porn may be making a larger sum gross, but profits per webmaster are dropping, I'd wager. Every Schmoe who can steal some content and whip up a 4x4 table can make a signup or two, but these are signups from larger and mroe established webmasters.
Incidently, many of these come-by-night webmasters try spam and fraud to rip the market off...vicious circle?
Slashdot Mirror
hardcore explicit pornography can be classified as an artform. It's not sold to children - and i doubt parents would buy it for their children either.
$5 or $50, as soon as a price tag goes on it, it's going to be warez'd like crazy.

Quite nifty, really.
..just teling the story. It's a youth thing. You know, like catching insects. Maybe.
Birds actually can't burp or fart. Feed your canary some softdrink, and watch it go feet up.
My dad possibly exaggerated in a typical father-son style story, but hey, I'm always open for abuse.

"I've read that male butterflies collect sodium as a present for their mates"
Strange, I thought collecting explosive stuff was the plight of the 13year before metamorphisis.
or do you only need a lawyer when you have a writ issued against you?
until then, it is nothing but hot air.
You're completely right. God knows wht I wrote red there. I blame the 5am starts.
since their word for Blue is the same as Green.
In Japanese-
Akai - Red
Aoi - Blue
Just thought I'd point it out.
My Nokia 3310 unlocks itself, just by the act of sitting in my pocket whilst I travel to work or college.
This is standard, but i've also accumulated about 20 new 'names' and 'numbers' in my address book from it being jiggled about.
I'm just waiting forthe day for it to SMS me and tell me i've forgotten to buy milk.

Glad you know how to spell..

You've entirely missed the point.
The device has been marketed, branded and sold as a having 16bit capabilites, when in reality it only has 12bit capabilites.
It's got nothing to do with asthetics.
