I agree on that, that's not a good place to put your coffee, but McDonalds had had several hundred complaints that the coffee did not need to be heated to a superheated solution, rendering it likely to explode scalding water all over someone when they added sugar or any other nucleation sites. They just didn't want to modify their equipment because it would have cost them extra. The woman had to have skin grafts over eighty percent of her thighs, and her lawyers sued for the price of one day's worth of coffee sales in the entire McDonalds' corporation. Not a huge hit, when you look at it that way.
Good lord, was everyone's band experience like this? I wonder what the demographic overlap is that causes high school marching bands to always turn into oversexed free-for-alls. Not that I minded that, of course.:)
There also seems to be an obsession with Monty Python humor in marching bands. Hmmm...
I read an article about it once, it said that one of the great classical composers, Mozart I think it was, used to tell the orchestra to make the sound "more pink", or "more blue". They said it might give composers a slight edge because the brain processes visual information better than auditory.
I've been wondering how long it would take them to get one of these. Since it might be harder for me to lose, this is an actual incentive for me to pony up the cash to pay for a cell phone that's decent, rather than just sticking with the one my cell service gave me for two dollars.
I know this is old, anyway, but I have to throw this in. A number of people who were blind due to having cataracts since birth had them removed when they learned to do surgery to remove cataracts. They had a lot of difficulty adjusting to it, and never truly made sense of it. One of them commited suicide, and many of them walked around with their eyes closed most of the time.
I was never a big fan of hex. My favorite game right now is Rithmomachia (or rythmomachia), but it's not good for AI stuff, since it's kinda based on simple number theory. Apparently, it competed with chess for a couple of hundred years as the big intellectual board game before essentially falling into obscurity. Rules are at http://www.gamecabinet.com/rules/Rithmomachia.html
Actually, the Knight 2000, in the not-that-good TV Movie, was KITT's AI placed into first an old chevy, a '57 I think, and then into this bizarre concept-car looking thing. Not at all resembling the original series. I think that's the one he means.
While I am taking a "wait-and-see" attitude about the rest of the proposed updates to the show, assuming they can let writing take precedence over sfx and glitz, I have to put my foot down there. Very much modernization of the theme music would be awful. That music is what set the mood for the show, and by my age, I am a Johnny-Come-Lately to the show, having grown up on PBS reruns of it.
Would it really be necessary to have the fingerprinting and the P2P network integrated so closely? Something akin to the CDDB, only for individual songs, might be effective as something that could be accessed by the client program, but not built into the client itself. After long enough to get the first few identifying seconds of the file, it would compare song title and length, rename if necessary or cancel download if incomplete. You would probably have to set some sort of range for that last, so you don't miss getting the sng because the last.5 seconds are cut off. I was always amazed that no one had done something like this before, so no doubt there is some sort of reason this is not feasible, but it would work, at least for a while. It would also provide for some interesting legal battles.
Yes, but even those cells are continually taking in molecules and emitting waste, as I understand it, so there is still a lack of continuity from, say, the matter you conatined when you were born and the matter you have at time of death. (Assuming, of course, that these events are sufficiently far apart.)
Before the advent of graphical interfaces, virtually all introductory courses taught how to use a command-line interface. It didn't seem to be over the heads of too many of students then, although I admit Linux is far more complex now than the old DOS systems were, as is the hardware.
Now, IANAN (I am not a neurologist), but it is my impression that 5-MEO-DMT is not a neurotoxin at all, unless you count the normal way that a frighteningly (and I do mean frightening) powerful psychedelic/hallucinogen/entheo-whatever-you-want- to-call-it-this-decade acts. In toad Bufo spp. venom, it is a number of other compounds which act as, IIRC "steroidal toxins", and this is why one should smoke, rather than lick, the toads' venom, because they break down at a lower temperature than the alkaloid. (Not that I recommend such an obviously illegal action, of course.)
Of course, I could very well be wrong on the details of this, so feel free to enlighten me if I should prove to talking entirely out of my own nether regions.:)

Megasync? Or N'Death? I'm trying to visualize the videos for bands with these names, and I'm not sure I like what I see. :)

Have you seen Retro64?
They seem to think the same thing.

Not true, kind of. The folks at http://www.entheosound.com/enthfrnt.htm would disagree with you, anyway.

Aargh! Now that's going to bug me all day until I remember what it was!
