I'd also suggest a year off in between High School and College; travelling, working, whatever(not wasting time). The whole undergraduate track needs a revamp from what I've experienced.
Depends on the definition of 'slamming' a door I would guess. Still...the 2x4 is probably against what you would call a door jam for a revolving door. It might even be arguable that a revolving door has a jam...
I don't think that is the point of this at all. I think this is hacking to get what people paid for and expect from a Bluetooth enabled phone. A quick look at the technical info that nuclearelephant has on their site gives me the impression that this could be a hell of a fun project.
Bad thing is the pot won't even cover the cost of the phone at this point.
Uh, maybe you're talking about forcible prison sex, but otherwise these should be 2 very different things.
I agree with you that they are very different things situationally. I would suppose that they are fairly similar with respect to biological or psychological cause.
I was thinking something along the lines of mental, physical and emotional arousal as a cause for strongly worded social interaction.
Or perhaps that in fantasy situations coupled with intense emotional/physical arousal; verbal communication is used to reinforce the altered state,fantasy, what have you. (I like this better)
Admittedly I have no clue. You could probably ask a Psychologist for a good answer.
Not if he accepts that others may be in an out of contact state. The man in question probably leaves his phone on when he is expecting to recieve a call he wants to catch.
This guy sounds like me. For me, leaving a message for someone is sufficient contact. I respect other people's disconnectedness.
I can't think of any religion which includes roller coasters in the design of their temples.
Neither can I. And that's something I think my generation (22, where ever that puts me) should fix. It's about damn time that the world had a religion based upon amusement parks!
I think the real question is...What would Jesus do for a Klondike bar?
I think the point is that it's just pretty damn cool no matter how pointless it seems. Imagine giving your kid a console like this. Then when they ask for new games let them write their own games or modify the ones they are currently playing. At least they and you will get more bang for your buck.
I would like to see something like this but on the order of a modern game console.
What do insurance company employees buy things with? The money from premiums is an output. Those statistics and analyses are outputs. Clients who are paid for their claims might be considered an output.
e.g. someone is able to buy a new car b/c of their insurance claim.
Here's a suggestion. Go lookup output and/or result. They have broader definitions than you may realize.
Of course you are entitled to your own thoughts and opinions.
I bet people would be more on board with public transportation if US gas prices were raised to the level they are in Europe(something like 5.xx USD per gallon.)
If I were a frequent flier(I only fly 2-3 times per year) I would definately go for this. I figure that the government already keeps a file on me(and most everyone) or can readily access any data they want about me.
I'm not going to pass up on something that would make my life easier because They are possibly going to add a new footnote in my file.

I saw your sig and had to post. The power of my UID compels me.

Great philosophical questions of our age

Why is that?
I would guess that it's the same reason people talk dirty during sex.
I will let the reader reconstruct the train of thought that brought me to that conclusion.
I think a better question might be:
/.!
Is he in control(at a level relative to, for instance, a guitarist/vocalist) of the sound he makes?
If so I'd claim that this approach to music is not a 'cop-out' and that he is as much of an artist/musician as any other.

Still, it's nice to see a poster recognize problems in their own post and correct its errors.
I agree and thanks.
I think definitions 1 and 2.a work pretty well in this context.
1 : the result of work or thought 2 a : the output of an industry or firm
And yeah, it really should be "it's" I suppose
Since you already threw yourself on the grammar spit. Shouldn't "it's" be "its". I think you meant the possesive not "it is".
I'm not trying to be a jerk just trying to clarify something for my own benefit.
Night-time shows, perhaps?
Worse than that...giant building size advertisements.
Most people think of the internet and the www as being one and the same. They have no concept of how things really work.
These articles just make Jane Soccer Mom and Grandma feel safe because they think someone is watching over and protecting their families.
I learned something on slashdot! Thanks!
I'm just guessing but...A passphrase can have spaces and is generally made up of words where a password is a word that may or may not be a real word.
Then what would the Grand Canyon be?

Ohhhhhhh!
Free as in beer.
HTH
Exactly...strange definition of news...

Yeah but the chicken's heads they bit off were way bigger.

Inconceivable!
