I have these sketchy speakers I got from my friend for free when my last set went rabid and started attacking me.
Anyway, these things pick up all kinds of weird interference. Recently, I discovered if I place my cell inbetween the left and right speakers I can hear pulsed interference every 30 seconds or so when the phone sends its "Here I am" signal to the tower. I also live in an area with really bad coverage, so it switches between analog and digital a lot. Now I can tell the difference between analog and digital signals by ear.

If your post weren't already +5, I would have spent my last point on that post. Instead, I'll just say that was one of the funniest commements I have read in a long long time.
No. See, when your in the future, the story appears, and then starts rushing away from you towards the non-subcribers in the present. (You are ahead of them.) This results in a perceived "red-shift" by subscribers, and hence the red title bar. Once a story binds with a timestamp, it stops moving "backwards" in time, and the normal color returns.
Now, if non-subscribers could see the stories headed towards them (which they can't, b/c they haven't forked over the dough), the stories would appear blue.
What I need to know is has more advancements in science come as a result of an accident or as the result of some guy trying to impress chicks. And what is the overlap?
Well, maybe not advancements, but possibly new scientists...
The article appeared in a respectable magazine, and was pretty clear that it was just a hypothesis, not a proven fact. I thought it was interesting, and am glad I had a chance to read it because slashdot mentioned it. Perhaps you should stop worrying we're all too stupid to understand these kinds of things for ourselves and screaming like irreparable damage has been done because a one sentence description was less than the entire article.
My brother used to do things like this when he was younger. There were a few weeks when almost everynight, he'd wander out into the hallway and start screaming and crying at the top of his lungs. Not the most pleasant thing to wake up to at 4 am.
One time, he went into my parent's room and woke them up. They asked what it was he he needed, and he replied, "I have to do a walk around." "What? What are you talking about?" "I HAVE do to a walkaround!" At this point, he went back to his room, picked up a duffel bag, placed it in the center of the room, walked around it, then went back to bed.
One time, while staying at a hotel during vacation, he starked walking around the room mumbling and talking to himself in an agitated manner. My parents woke up and asked him what he was doing. "I'm looking for MY SHOES!" "Why?" "BECAUSE I HAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE!" Then he walked right out of the hotel room, and started wandering around the hallways.
He never remembered doing any of this, and eventually he just stopped sleepwalking (the article said that it's fairly common for children 4-12 years, which fits). According to my dad, my grandfather used to sleepwalk as an adult. One time he got up in the middle of the night and peed on the family television. My dad claims it was becuase he secretly hated TV.
I say we should all demand a seperate category for Farscape on slashdot. That way, and I mean this with the greatest amount of respect to Farscape fans, I can filter out all the stories confirming, yet again, Farscape is still canceled.
I mean my favorite TV show of all time got canceled too, but you don't see me whining about it. I have come to terms with the loss. I understand that its brilliance was to great for this world, and I will always cherish the memories of the time we spent together. That, and my collection of episode I downloaded from the net. Yay technology!
Let's say we have 100 roads stretching all the way to Jupiter. On each road we cause an auto accident at Jupiter and allow traffic to back up to Earth. We clear some of the accidents, and not others. All the drivers again go at a predetermined time. Some will proceed down the road, and others will immediately be unable to move. We count the lanes that could move on earth as 1, and those that couldn't as 0. Or maybe tubes of ping pong balls from here to Jupiter, packed as tightly as possible, and we block the end of some and leave others open, and at 6pm or so we push on each tube. Is it possible to transmit information on the phase pulse this way?
... we would then have to worry about 584554531360! What are we going to do 584 billion years from now when 64-bit time runs out?
Well, I suppose in 584554531362 someone will find an archive of slashdot and everyone will have a good nostalgic chuckle over your post. After all, the computers controlling the neutrino induction coils in the energy conversion plants didn't explode despite dire predictions from the galatic media service.
Problem is, the 4 digit zip extension on the page mentioned above and on the scanned postcard are different. It is still possible that the computer generated it's own zipcode from the address, as everything else is the same. The four digit extension doesn't appear to be that critical to mail delivery for Columbia zipcodes anyway. It's all done internally, and mail (for students anyway) just disappears into a mysterious glass box for several weeks before being packaged in garbage bags and expelled.
A strange twist of fate led me and some friends to see this show back in April when it first opened. I have to say it's one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Daisey is hilarious and a master of intelligent and biting satire and performs with an intense and seemingly limitless energy. Dispite Katz's usual love of dramtics and invoking cosmic significance, the show really is great. I saw it once for free and the talked some other friends into coming back with me to see it agian. If your ever in New York I would definately reccomend it.
(I know this sounds like a plug, and I guess in a way it is, but it's so funny and I really hope it succeeds.)
One week is a thoughtful column about third quarter predictions for the tech sector, the next it's how cybernetic gerbals will be all our masters in only six months...

If you have installed a Bukkake hardware module, you may also access jokes dealing with wireless (over the air) technology.

Good job.

Hope this clears things up...

(Ok, enough accidental pregnancy jokes..)
For god's sake, settle down.

Then all we have to do is have it infect a few Romanian computers, and the situation should pretty much resolve itself.
Oh, and Hillary Rosen.

Nice site here with lots of detail. I've actually seen the old city hall station (although briefly, from a passing train)
The other day I was looking at the listing for the Tron 20th anniversary DVD, and Amazon had this gem of a suggestion at the bottom:
Customers who wear clothes also shop for:
* Clean Underwear from Amazon's Gap Store
Kudos to the Strangelove reference. Obviously, they were worried about a Geforce gap...
what about this situation.

Although wouldn't the correct expression be, "Diamonds were a girl's best friend?"

So then if I dump a bunch crystals into my homemade microwave foundy, will I get stronger plasma shields?

Hey yeah! Then you'd get twice as much beer!
