It's a shame they did not manage to build the screen into the urinal. They probably expect people to have great hand-eye coordination because now you cannot see where you are peeing.
Suggestion for next in-urinal game: House of the Dead?
And the sad thing is: American Greetings were not even the target of the parody. That honor goes to American (coincidence?) McGee. Looks to me like they didn't even bother to read the site.
If people are developing technology that will make life better for all of us: I am all for it. However, that does not mean scientists should be left alone until they have finished their greatest invention. I suggest we check up on them once in a while just to see where they are heading. Because it is possible to use technology for right or for wrong.
I remember reading about severe soccer related riots in Rotterdam in '99. The police had great trouble containing the riots because people were calling on their mobile phones detailing the position of the police agents.
I always wondered why they did not shut down the cellular antennas that day. There is probably a law that forbids the police to do that.
How can you control rioteers if they have this communications advantage?
You know, I noticed something peculiar. If you're from a non-English speaking country, like I am, you can filter the spam by looking at the language of the subject. In my case, if it is English it is almost certainly spam.
Do English-speaking people receive spam in foreign languages?
If I receive mail with the above subject line then the pictures are usually very different from the ones in the link above (don't be fooled by the erectors, they are not what you might think).
Couldn't agree more. This method has a serious PR problem; when you try to convince people to use it they usually are scared off right away by the name.
There is a bit of a catch-22 in introducing new methods: in order to draw people you have to make noise, and that usually scares people to use the method because they think the claims are inflated.

How can you kick us in the balls? That is physically impossible because we are thousands of miles apart from each other.
Just what I was thinking. I guess the fish will soon be invisible because simulated algae and snails start clogging up the screens.
And then the students can start programming to calculate the movements of the famous "belly-up" routine of the fish...
A frozen yoghurt bar would not work on Mars, as all the ice there consists of water.
But it would be possible on Everest, provided you manage to haul a herd of yaks up there...
Not to mention that a song should not be published on-line without some proper sort of DRM protection.
The RIAA will not be happy about this.

Now that would be handy. That way we could also get a grip on these pesky guys calling themselves The A-team.
