You bring up an interesting point. Why does everything have to be "combo"-ized in the first place? For convenience? If that's the case, then I want a refrigerator, toilet and cable TV in my car.
The second patent, 5,131,941 also details an apparatus and method for initiating chemical reactions, but this time radiation is used to provide the energy kick needed to get the compounds to interact."
What? You mean Jiffy Pop popcorn wasn't the first one to patent this technique?
During the Alaska earthquake today, on one of the Aleutian islands, on a desk in an obscure research station, a Linux computer shifted position while an Apple OS X computer remained stable.
Yep, you guessed it...Linux passed Apple on the desktop.
The RIAA could be more deceptive with P2P networks if they were smart enough. What about putting large files out there with ten seconds of a song and the rest static? That would get people to waste their time downloading junk files. Or songs with "skips" in various places in the last half of the song? Downloaders with analog modems would suffer the most in this scenario. And who would know if it was the RIAA doing this or just Joe User who can't create MP3s properly?
This little Madonna incident isn't very creative, IMHO.

...how does gas go through the human body so quickly? As everyone knows, you can get gassy very quickly after eating something, and fart frequently afterwards...but how does the gas get past the slower-moving stool created from yesterday's dinner? Does it percolate through or something? I've never had the opportunity or been in the proper forum before to ask something like this, and I could ask more questions, but I'll stop now by ending my post with the appropriate punctuation:
I mean, really now, if we cannot even piss or shit without being connected to a global Internet then why not bypass the hygiene problem and just go for a Star Trek Borg-like existence and get everyone implanted chips that connect brain to Internet? Truly God was wise for handicapping us with piss and shit responsibilities so we would always be humble enough to remember our humanity!

Yes, but how well does the file sharing work?

Yeah, well at least I don't post replies to myself, dumb ass!
That was the most idiotic post I've ever seen.
