Was anyone else troubled by the bit in the article about testing on monkeys - they had to forcibly hold open the monkeys' eyes so that they could burn them.
Man, how do you get so you can do that for a living. No, on second thoughts don't tell me.
That's a great method. Another one is to gently touch the brakes just enough to turn your brake lights on and accelerate slightly at the same time. By illuminating your brake lights you get said tailgater's undivided attention and you have now just opened up quite a large gap behind you. I've done this a few times and the tailgater will generally avoid you afterwards - especially if you repeat the process.
When you used the term "particle" in the GP though, I didn't have in mind "100 mile wide asteroids". But this raises another issue. Wouldn't the gun that fires them be so big that it's gravity sucks the black hole even closer? The recoil would probably be a bitch, too.
...doesn't mean you can take out Mike Tyson in a real fight...
Agreed, no-one in their right mind would want to do this for obvious reasons, but I wonder how many people who play driving games think that they are getting skills that they can transfer to the road. I've seen quite a few drivers who thought they were still in a video game judging from the way they drive.
Hardware just has to work. There's a very good reason why Microsoft spends a lot of time on hardware compatibility - it's what people want."
So that explains why I had to hunt around for the drivers for my on-board Lan and Sound on my last Windows install. Without a network. Have you tried getting 64-bit Windows drivers for a Canon Scanner these days? It's a case of "do ya feel lucky, punk?".
Well, I was trying to give a simple example. It can get quite convoluted. Check out Mark Twain's essay on the Awful German Language.
"The Germans have another kind of parenthesis, which they make by splitting a verb in two and putting half of it at the beginning of an exciting chapter and the OTHER HALF at the end of it."
Neat idea, but how can it possibly translate a Subject, Verb, Object language into a Subject Object Verb language, like English to Japanese, immediately? I'm learning some Japanese and it's difficulty partly lies in the mindset required to switch a sentence round and finish with the verb - a really simple example would be something like "It is hot" which becomes "hot is".
Also, how does it distinguish synonyms which have a completely different translation in another language?
Expect to get punched a lot when using this device on your first trip abroad. Especially if the locals you meet aren't using one too.

Gives new meaning to the term "Booby Trap".
Yeah, Cretaceous Park more like.
don't forget to imagine a Beowulf cluster of them
Don't forget to factor in the expense of more hard disk needed to rip and burn 'em.
You can only see old people.
Then the parent smacked the kid upside the head with a perl manual, and the child was thusly enlightened.
But then again, you are an Anonymous Coward.

Say honey, how come Dave's truck is parked in our driveway?
...and it was Slammer, you'd have to admit it was kind of a biggie.
For sure - he's in his prime!!!
Hmm,

Why do I get the impression this would be like trying to deflect a airborne 747 by shooting BBs at it, at the correct angle...
I went there and voted in the poll. Not certain what I voted for, but I assumed it was the "SamuraiNeal" option.
Exactly,
Server-side scripting is the only way to go. That way the email addy is never delivered to the browser client.
Haven't you heard of this?

Not necessarily...

I'm sure you get the picture.
Dude is a linguist who confuses "were" and "where". Obviously not a very cunning one.
