"Mozilla Thunderbird is nice, but I wouldn't mind seeing a calendar, scheduler, daily weather reports, and news also appearing when I start it up. I haven't seen a free e-mail client on Windows that does this aside from Outlook".
There is a calendar extension available. There is also a weather extension, which might be configurable for non US zip codes - I haven't checked since I can't think why I'd want weather on an e-mail client....

If you rub garlic on someones feet while they sleep, they will wake up smelling and tasting garlic - alegedly.
Sleep deprevation seems to affect ones sense of smell sometimes. As does MSG in your food.
In your experience, can you fit these dolls in the washing machine? Or is it best to use soapy water and a bottle brush, then rinse them out under the shower?
I dunno. Only asking out of curiousity. Short term, these babes are too expensive. I'd rather have a woman who can pay her own way.
Is it my imagination or do 80% of the models look like porn actresses? If this is the case, I wonder if Real Doll will produce realistic voice synthesisers. These could give you really useful options like out of phase dubbing in Spanish, slow motion or%$£ms and buffering...

It's true. Apply the dielectic materialism argument.
Technology is all bad. (illogical exclusive negative ) Technology is all good. (illogical exclusive positive)
Solution: Technology is both good and bad.
In fact, since technology is generally assumed to be created by man, the argument surely must be redirected towards man. For after all is said and done, it is HOW man uses technology that determines whether the outcome is good or bad.
During a visit to a power station, we were shown the 12 Mega Watt output cables. Asides from the crackling noise due to a light drizzle falling on the cables, there were other effects too.
Having stood under the cables for a couple of minutes, I felt no adverse effect... until I started to walk away. That's when I started to get a headache...

Aren't the Earths electromagenetic fields more pronounced at the Northern and Southern magnetic poles?

Are folk going to live longer in Africa because there is less in the way of EM waves passing through them. Or will their life expectancy and quality of life be reduced, compared to developed countries, which appear to predominate further North/South?
Perhaps McBride & Co were influenced by the attempts of Anheuser-Busch, (mfrs of mass marketed beer),to obliterate a much older Budejovicky Budvar, a European brewer, (of quality pilsner lager), by means of laws suits.

IMHO it is the NOISE of phones and phone users that gives rise to the "red mist" we tend to experience when we want some peace. Additionally, how many times have you been wound up by LOUD people just having a conversation WITHOUT a phone?
In such cases jamming is not going to help, (unless its the jamming of an inanimate object somewhere it doesn't belong..)
Surely, the solution we are looking for with the greatest benefit to personal privacy in most situations involves noise cancelling.
As for photographs, how did secret photo's get taken before CCD's were commonplace? There are so many CCTV camera's and compact camera's around that blocking mobiles is only going to have so much effect on your privacy, surely?
I'm about to change jobs. I had an opportunity to help a different department with a critical operation. The work was very different to my existing job and it wasn't exactly clear what I would be doing. I'd been assigned to help a specialist who had no idea of how to get best value from me, so I found out who the main mover, (Project Manager), was and he gave me the low down on the main issues. He also gave me the opportunity to get involved at a level that had not been considered by the folk that had drafted me in.
They got value from me for sure! There was the reward of having a very real impact on business.
It occured to me that my old job = boredom = stress. I actually dreaded going to work back then. On returning to the old job, nothing had changed. WRONG!!! I had changed!
Give me a project, procedures, a remit and resources and I'll deliver. Left in a rut, doing the same old tasks, there is no challenge and no job satisfaction for me.
Don't get me wrong. The folk I've been working with are decent, peaceable and well meaning. However, that place has been like Kryptonite to my soul. The management structure changed recently, a bit too late, potentially giving me more say in how things are done. This is where the hint of doubt can creep in and say " look, you can stay here and it'll all be fine and dandy".
Yeah sure! Like last year and the year before. My position had already been compromised. There are times in life, jobs, projects, frienships and relationships, where each party is pulled towards divergent paths.
It may be the hardest path to take but choose the one which allows you to grow as a person.
One cautionary note. You can be a no limits person but be sure that you retain a sense of balance and ask yourself the question "why do I want this?". If you have the answer - go forward.
Cut a log cabin into lots of small pieces. Secure the pieces every 10 feet or so to an extremely long piece of string. Send a rocket to Mars, with the string attached. Once it escapes orbit, the bits of cabin will start to lose weight and be easier to pull.
Er let me think that one over again...

Certain Governments are currently led by staunchly religious premiers and their ministers. Is it not the case that many religions are responsible for widespread, unabated and terrifying abuse and misery the world over?
Imagine if the internet was presided over by the Vatican for example...
When you get to Mars you'll want something to eat that doesn't squeeze out of a tube. Kentucky Fried Mice could be a start. First colonise the mice then modify them to grow as big as rats.

The first occurance of the term "Reversing the polarity" in a science fiction film was probably The Forbidden Planet (MGM 1956).
t ml
The term was used in a transitional sequence where Starcruiser C57D approaches Altair 4.
Its hard to overstate the influence this film had on budding techies. Apparantly Gene (Star Trek) Rodenbury was influenced by it.....

Nobody smoked until nicotine patches were released
Nobody washed dishes before washing-up detergent was invented
Nobody had a crap before bog roll was invented
Nobody got pregnant or caught diseases until condoms were invented.

There used to be shavers that relied on the user using a squeezing action to pump a ratchet gear which kept an internal flywheel working.
They were manufactured by "Viceroy". I was given a broken one to play with when I was a kid. I was fascinated by it.

I recall an original (?) in Russian with English subtext. Why do Hollywood film producers HAVE to attempt a poor remake of a good film?
No imagination? "Learn by wrote" education? A deep sense of the need to rewrite history?

Indeed. Now there's a thought. In China Chow's, (a member of the Spitz family of dogs), are, or at least were, bred for food.
If China gets men on mars first and bearing in mind that dogs can be vegitarian, we could eat Martian chow.
