They're the guys who did the Bellagio fountain in Las Vegas. I'm thinking their R&D people (at "Wetlabs") would love to play with this.
I've got some Shure's, although I'm not sure whether they're the exact same model number you have (I'm too lazy to check at the moment). I love the way the ones I have block out ambient noises, but something about the design I dislike is how even the slightest touching of the earphone cord results in a loud noise, often negating the benefit of blocking out ambient noises.
Bingo. Hence Google's assurances that they won't be "evil".
I read something about one of the google founders aspiring to have a technology to search people's brains directly. That sounds like it could be a wonderful tool, but hopefully before they implement anything like that they'll have discovered a novel way to prevent businesses from sliding down the slippery slope towards unethical practices. I'm not counting on that happening.
Orkut's very popular in Brazil. It started when the Brazilian membership numbers quickly took off during the early days of Orkut. Now Brasilieros are the dominant present on that website. Last time I checked a few weeks ago, Brazilians comprised about 3/4 of orkut's membership.
The end result for you is that if you get an Orkut account, it's likely you'll be inundated with friend-requests from Brazilian twenty-somethings. If you're looking to practice conversational Portuguese, orkut.com's the place.

I'm not a professional historian, but I've done a bit of reading about Rome and its economy.
I think the Roman highways were all about enriching Rome, the city -- that's why all roads led there. With roads connecting Rome to its provinces, Roman leaders could send out troops quickly to keep the provincial populations busy growing wheat that could then be sent back about as quickly the armies were sent out.
The improvement of the rest of the empire's society was an unintended consequence, although a welcome one, from the point of view of many people today.
That statement is misleading. It would be more accurate to say that the southernmost parts of Ontario bear the same latitude as *Oregon*. I will grant you that the southernmost borders of Ontario share the same latitude as the extreme northern end of California, but so do Chicago and Cleveland -- which, incidentally, appear to be very close to the areas of Ontario you're talking about.
They presented a skit showing two alternative State of Union Addresses some time after the 2000 election.
The Gore speech was incredibly boring, of course, but totally harmless.
The Bush Address (featuring Will Farrell) was the funnier one. It showed him chuckling at his desk while behind him the Capitol Dome was caved in and Washington was on fire.
I'd like to see the skit again to check how closely it matches what's actually happened over the past four years, but unfortunately SNL hasn't repeated it (to my knowledge). I wonder why?
How degradable is this supertough coating? How hard will it be for you to get rid of it when you want it to go away?
Remember that one of the main selling points of CFC's was that they were very unreactive. As we've all learned within the past couple decades, this was also a bad thing about them, since they were found to be associated with ozone layer depletion.
I'm not saying unmarkable AOL CD's will destroy the ozone layer, but I'm thinking that disposal of items covered with this new coating might be a bit more complicated than it would be with conventional, noncoated objects.
Thoughts?
Look at the flower arrangements. They're comprised of small flowers accompanied by big, flat leaves. My guess is that the leaves generate most of the sound, while the flowers generate most of the press.
I seem to recall something about the UN building having a diamond coating at the end of one of the books, and a monolith sitting in front of the building as decoration. At the end of said book, the monolith begins to wake up, foreshadowing a new phase of monolith-catalyzed excitement.

It'll be interesting to see how bad, or if you'd like, how much worse, Microsoft will get now that Gates is pulling away from it.

Any time we think that we can really have a big impact on nature, we're proven wrong.
Yup. The idea that humans can alter the climate of the whole planet should be proven wrong any day now.

Maybe Bill's involvement with Bob had something to do with his interest in Melinda, Bob's manager.
Harvard offered an accounting degree?
There are drugs that affect you if your *grandmother* took them.
And then there are drugs that could affect you if any ancestor took them: mutagens.
How will it affect the marketing of "V for Vendetta"?

The article says that the discs are 87% natural, whatever that means. What's the other 13% composed of, and how biodegradable will that be?

you mean to get a picture like this?
