I want to know why noses run (secrete clear liquid) when it's cold outside.
The cold is an irritant, and there's this one trick that mucus membranes can rely on to ward off irritants: excrete mighty mucus!
Have you ever been out in minus 30 or below weather? The first breath you take flash-freezes all the humidity in your nose, it feels really weird. A nice layer of mucus between your living cells and water crystallization is better than frost bite.
But it still costs a fortune to get it challenged. That is the real problem. It is an armsrace and the one with the biggest pocket wins. I wonder when this cold war bubble will burst.
Weeeell, I meant staying outside the booth and have her come out when she's decent, but your way is fun too, though against store policy:)
For the shoes: Comments on how it shapes her leg and affects her posture are considered constructive.
Oh thats a good comment for shoes. Just need to learn to see which ones of them look good - I notice when its absolutely great looking, but anything in between looks quite same heh.
I wonder if that is actually against store policy here, I mean the saleswomen have been walking past when going in the booth and even bringing other clothes to try while I'm in too and commenting etc. Maybe culture differences a bit too.
I guess it depends on the setup, if you have a separate area with women's changing room and one with men's, they keep you separated, if it's just a series of cells on the side of the store, then they don't really care.
An interesting thing to say given the discussion at hand. Are you saying that "abnormal" brain structures that change the behavior of the host animal is strictly the providence of Man?
Google puts the overwhelmingly positive article saying how awesome Google Wave is at the top, in Bing it's the last result on the page
There ARE NO PAGES that relate to your stupid search, you moron. But the "positive" article about google includesin its title all the words in your search... and microsoft pushes that positive article down, and you take that as a sign of fairplay!
Even though the most visible part of Google's activities is the search, I believe the corporate entity (maybe not the brand) would very well survive the demise of their search activity.
Keep that in mind.
What would drive people to their advertisement if they didn't have the search engine to send you on your merry way?
The vinyl windows listing is on both Google and Bing, so that's obviously an easy mistake to make
It's not a mistake, the word "windows" can mean more than software to those who do not spend all their lives in a dank basement below their mother's house, you know.
Why would the entire first page of results ignore the ambiguity of the search? THAT would be a mistake.

The traditional way to do this is to get bored out of your skull while the girl stays in the booth. No fun. Ask, nay, tell her to show you what she tries on so you can interact, and you'll enjoy it too.
Yeah, I do this and go with her to the booth aswell (which admittedly felt a bit weird at the first times specially if someone looked what they're doing, but ohwell). High heels and shoes and such is hard to comment, other clothing easier tho. But seeing some boobies in the booth helps make the time more enjoyable:)

Fashion show! As long as I go to clothing stores with pretty girls who come out of the damn booth to show me what they look like, I enjoy it.

When dogs go mad and bite kids, we don't investigate wether they had a bad upbringing, disease, or bad genes. They are put to sleep.
There are no bad dogs, just bad masters. Their upbringing SHOULD be examined and the person(s) that made that dog a sociopath should face consequences.
Seriously, it's pretty fucking hard to get that kind of tax system going without a civilization! You need a whole city full of accountants... barbarians could never manage that.
Well, no, that's not serious. Barbarians in fact did that, although their counting method was imprecise. They walked through and took what they wanted
That's 100% taxation, MUCH easier to calculate;-) They also burned the rest, to make sure it was a whole hundred.
If it weren't for the U.S. involvement in WWI and WWII, Sweden would be speaking German today, so how's about you get some fucking perspective?
Wow, an overlord with -1 troll moderation. Never thought I'd see it : )

Honestly, I'm tired of this bullshit. Someone needs to tell the PC brigade to go fuck themselves. Game developers aren't obliged to fill quotas; all they have to do is make good games. Does anyone really care about what video game characters look like?
The solution to this "problem' is simple and already implemented in older media: Tokenism. You simply add one (1) black character, and you don't even have to keep him alive the whole time, he just needs to show up and say something funny and colorful.
And yes, everyone who has spent time unlocking skins cares what their character looks like.
So what I'm saying is: Give people skins for their characters.
I'd be kind of surprised if Apple did anything original with its keyboard design other than making them shiny and thin (and giving them no tactile feedback whatsoever.)
Mine is a USB hub, you can plug in your mouse (right or left hand side, as you wish) and a USB key, or pretty much anything else.
I like having two mice coming out of it, personally (my preference varies).
Can anyone more familiar with the rocket design explain this perplexing quote?
This is how it works: The launch vehicle takes off like a plane, carrying the spaceship between twin booms; once it gets to a certain height, the spaceship drops from the launch vehicle, firing its hybrid nitrous oxide and rubber rocket engine to climb vertically at almost four times the speed of sound; once it reaches 62 miles - the edge of space - it floats back down and uses its wings like a badminton shuttlecock to re-enter the atmosphere and land like a plane.
So, does this thing literally burn rubber?:D
Cheers,
Yes. Watch some more Mythbusters, they built one that burns salami:) Ok, it was a sucky thing made in a few days with plumbing supplies, but that's mythbuster style, baybay.

Why don't you ask Nicola Tesla...
"Why is Windows expensive", you're usually talking about the software.
If you search Google for "Why are windows expensive" you get more results pertaining to pieces of glass.
Now _that's_ a good algorithm.
Good point. But assuming that your users have a solid grasp of grammar is pure folly :)
That is the mistake right there, the article is talking about sensors inside of Apple's devices.
Even worse, I hear nintendo is putting sensors in its controllers now! HOW AWFUL!
Seriously, as long as the sensors don't phone home, I got no problems with fraud prevention.

... why are Macs so expensive?
They're hand-rolled on the inside thigh of virgin maidens.
Microsoft programmers did some quick cover-up, like a bunch of 1940s-era Germans digging-up bodies and burning them to hide the evidence.
Very nice godwin there. Well played, quite subtle. Bravo.

not socially intelligent or successful at all he was scary (aggressive drinking manipulative).
You have to be socially intelligent to be successfully manipulative.

What if governments mandate abortion of sociopathic foetuses?
What if most politicians have this deformity? ;-D
I say we screen each candidate, and use the result to choose between ballot and ammo boxes
Why does the story header appear *red* instead of the usual green? (Firefox 3.5 on Vista)
It does that when the story is brand spanking new, I think. It means you're getting the freshest of slashdot's offerings, rejoice!

A 60 percent taxation rate is uncivilized.

I've never seen that on a windows machine.
Yes. Truth be told, it doesn't matter what you use as the solid fuel in a hybrid rocket. You can use cardboard, salami, your mom
