I have had a couple of bad experiences with Match.com. On two occasions, I registered as a free user; within days, I had received an email from someone saying that they had seen my details and were interested. But of course, I had to pay to become a full member and email her. I did this, sent her an email and never got a reply. I put this down to just bad luck.
Then, for some reason, I happened to peruse the website again some time (years?) later. Exactly the same thing happened, but I didn't bother to sign up. I figure Match.com sends out automated emails to snare people.
On-line dating DOES work. I met Carly on the free website Love@Lycos - and now we're engaged to be married!
Infrasound, at 19Hz will cause people to experience spooky feelings, such as nausea, peripheral vibrations in the eyes (the "out of the corner of the eye" effect) and other effects. This is based on work done by NASA and confirmed by the late Vic Tandy at Coventry University.
The first we heard of long play VHS in the UK was in 1986! We got our first VCR (a top loading, piano-like control VHS) in December 1980, and the thing could pause. It couldn't do rewind search though.....actually, that reminds me, I still have "The Making of the Empire Strikes Back" from 25 years ago on tape! Must be falling to bits now....
I thought one of the reasons Betamax died out was because you could only get 2 hour cassettes for them, whereas at the time, you could get 3 hours for VHS?
I agree absolutely. I have submitted stories on quite a few occasions - often I am the firts by quite a few hours, but my posts never make in favour of other people. When I complain, I get the usual "Oh well" reply. Favouritism? Or are the editors twats?
On Channel 4 (in the UK), we had a two hour drama documentary on E=mc^2 - it covered the different parts of the equation, E, m, c and squared and described notable contributors to each of them (Davy, Farraday, Lavoisier et al), as well as people and events in the aftermath of the equation's publication; Meitner, and the A-Bomb.
I feel sorry for Lise Meitner; never receiving the recognitiopn she deserved. F**king Nazis.
This was trialled in England many, many years ago (about 1997/8). The concept worked, but it was never talen up for whatever reason. I did hear recently that the speed of the connection was lower than DSL though...
Yes, I know, but with trains derailed and damaged, and one train trapped in a tunnel at Kings Cross, it means that the network is shut down on some lines indefinitely. Its not just a matter of re-starting the trains when the alert is over.
True, but they also timed the attacks so that anyone emerging from a closed tube station would want to use the buses. Its amazing only one bus was bombed (by a suicide bomber, according to Sky).
Whomever did this was very clever. If you look at a map of the London underground/subway, the bombs have taken out all the tube lines in Central London. In effect, the transport network has been crippled.
It was scrapped during the production of "Return of the Jedi". They only needed half of it for an unused scene involving a sandstorm. The other times the Falcon appears, its either a model or a matte painting.
Buran had NO jet engines. The engines poking out of the rear fuselage were OMS engines, because there were no OMS pods on either side of the vertical stabiliser on Buran.
I thought the Lotto website did, at last, support such browers? Have a look at this site for a run-down on one man's fight against the "IE is God" mantra.

Seems that Ms.Rice has also been tough on the EU in other matters. She's told them to back down on this matter: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4497006. stm
