Would this be the sort of thing you could use a peltier for? Or would you have a problem keeping the heat at the lava lamp end together to build up enough to cause movement?
Should I be concerned that I find that term highly erotic?
Yes. these seats seem to be able to give an early warning of DVT, which means that more cases will be prevented, and therefore less DVT cases in general. So unfortunately, less erotica for you.
A prime number is a number which has factors only of one and itself. Therefore, 2 is a prime number, and its an even number. With what other people have said about the human body and the sides of a dice, this makes your last statistic about the statistics in that post false; so 100% of those statistics are false.
A group of vikings in a monty python sketch drowned out normal conversation by shouting the word "spam" louder and louder. The word was then adopted for all the crap drowning out normal conversation on usenet.
at the end of the first Neo showed it can control the Matrix, at the second, he can control even the real world
Maybe, but... what if he is under the illusion that he has left the matrix, but all the time everyone has been inside a matrix within the matrix, therefore still being able to control and feel things. How else would zion have already been destroyed 5 times? If it had been destroyed even once, why would it need to be rebuilt from the machines' point of view?
Although it would not be possible to simulate the real world fully and in perfect detail, surely this would not matter?
As all humans are born into the simulation and have their first experiences there - developing knowledge and ideas of what should happen in what appears to be real to them, the world would not appear flawed to them. However, it may be a complete shock should they be released to the real world, as all the subconscious rules of the world which had been created since birth would no longer apply.
Could the real flaw in the matrix be that it is just too real? Had the matrix simulated a different world, would release from it cause the brain to die or be unable to function properly due to the shock? The answer, i don't know. But perhaps it could be used as a tool to stop humans being released from the matrix.
In the UK (I don't know about the US) tobacco taxes are ridiculously high. An imported 50g is £3.50 whereas a taxed one is about £9. Perhaps a similar thing may occur with media and there will be "CD smugglers" bringing in cheap CDs from abroad.
"spammers' days are numbered, just like junk faxers"
Just like Junk faxers? As far as I can tell, junk faxers still seem to be going strong. The only way their days are numbered is because of email. Did junk fax even threaten the usefulness of fax machines? The sender even had to pay for junk faxes, which stopped the problem from being so great.
However, for spammers, they don't have to pay and their medium isn't dying out any time soon. What technology is going to replace email like email is (slowly) replacing fax machines?
There are around 50 million people in the UK, and only 150 of them actually got scammed by this. Therefore I can only assume that you are one of the 150 gullible easy targets as the statistics show that the majority of us are not:-)
Possibly, but I have a feeling that microsoft would probably remove all comments from their source code and make the variable names all meaningless. Then it would be nigh on impossible to understand how windows works.
I don't say this because i think they're evil, but it's common sense for them if what you suggest might happen did happen. Their source code is a close secret, and I dont think they would even want a government of any country to see it.
If you're going to download patches for all those different things you might as well just tell MS what you've got on your PC, as they're obviously going to find out if you download updates for your non-MS software from them.
What's going on? Are we all trapped in the MHz war? Just because a chip is slower in MHz, doesn't mean it's performance is unacceptable. I could happily do my accounts work on a pentium 200, which was once considered top of the range. Anyway, MHz isn't the absolute speed guide. It depends what you do with the MHz you hvae, so you can make a "slow" processor which performs well, or a "fast" preocessor which performs badly. MHz is a crap measurement of speed.

It has the support of IBM... oh, wait a second...
oops.
Unplug any conputer with really sensitive data from the network
is a conputer one which is running windows?

0% of all prime numbers are even (tricky)

What benchmark are you using?
The "decibels produced by the video card" benchmark.

You could always trap me inside user mode linux, then i wouldnt be able to tell anyone anyway...
Do anorexic women appear as fat in the Matrix, because that's how they envision themselves in real time in contrast to how they really look?
What is to stop it being just like real world anorexia, where the sufferer appears fat to themselves, but no one else?

Yeah, i hear that the 80486 is faster than a pentium 4. by a factor of 20121.5
in most of europe, "." and "," switches YOU!
No, they haven't, but that may not make a difference to whether they are taxed or not.

It took me quite a while to get that.... too much beer and not enough coffee!

Really? I've used it for my gentoo installation, and not had a problem at all. hmm....
Another point, the front loading nintendo blows! Literally!
Maybe you should get out more.
Now what was the size of the Linux kernel again? :-)
Now what was the length of a piece of string again?
Maths (in my opinion) is a science - the science of numbers. However, it could be debated whether or not this makes it a "true" science.
