Does anyone else get this strange picture of Professor Lessig jogging up the steps in front of the Stanford Quad and Mem Chu (Memorial Church... in the middle of the quad) in sweats with Eye of the Tiger playing in the background?
If you look at the pacific, all those tiny little islands were made by volcanos that appeared there all of a sudden, out of the blue, with no early warning.
Umm, last I checked, the emerging island off the coast of Hawaii won't poke it's little head above water for another few million years. Not quite what I'd call sudden or out of the blue. To my knowledge, this is normal, and islands don't just appear instantaneously. Then again, they didn't make us learn about hot-spots, volcanoes, and the creation of the Hawaiian island chain like every two years in school back in Hawaii...
Been living in Japan for the past few months, and I must say, they've done something really right here when it comes to CDs and music. New CDs might cost an outrageous $20 or more, but used CD sales are very common. I buy a lot of used CDs for anywhere from $2 - $5 or so, and so if there's a new album out that I realy have to have, I'm willing to shell out the extra money for it.
Dude, you were running a rogue DHCP? That'll get you banned from the network for the whole year at my school! Heck, the guy that lived in my dorm room before me did it and I had to talk with the network support for days just to get them to re-enable my jack after I moved in.
If you read the article closer you would see that apparantly what they do is they send a bunch of ads to your set top box and it's your box that chooses what to show. But how my set top box will know that I just bought a car is a different story!
Being a resident of Hawaii, I really must throw in my two cents here. A few years back some austrailian wallabes go loose in the Koolaus (mountain range) in Hawaii. Drastic adaptive changes were seen within only several generations of wallabes and this is one of the main pieces of evidence to support the "punctuated equilibrium" theory of evolution. Don't have a link on me, but I'm sure you can google it yourself. Just because you don't know of any evidence doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
If I remember my highschool bio correctly, there was also a moth that evolved a darker coloring after a nearby coal plant blackened the forest the moth lived in.
...how much pedaling must be done to power a computer? Admittedly they mentioned they were using low power parts and all, but it seems like you would need to pedal for a while to store up enough charge in the battery to use the computer for even a short while.

Umm, explain to me exactly where Japan and Korea are if they are not in Asia. =)

You mean all that money I paid to that unaccreditted university that nicely sent me that email was really wasted?
My bad. Didn't mean to yell. Just forgot the / in that second bold tag. Sorry!

50%, my friend, 50%. The standard assumption being that with 2 condoms, you could get 2 women, adding a third makes a 50% increase.

Hmm. Don't think the word should is necessary there. More like will naturally be irradicated through stupidity.
