When I read a particularly entertaining and well-written book, or watch an excellently made movie, I find myself transported into the story, living as the main character or at least as a bystander to the action.
I don't think the "interaction" creates much more of a relationship between a person and the medium, generally speaking. It might be more for some people, and less for others. You just cant paint broad strokes like that.
I blow my nose at you, you and all your silly English kaniggets.
A Dremel? Like in the a-splodin CD experiments?

Werent there some people who made videos of themselves, spinning CDs on the tip of a dremel until the centrifugal force made them explode in omnidirectional-flying shards of plastic?
Also consider, the stuff used to bind the aluminium to the plastic substrate is usually toxic.
I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the Slashdot Moderators', but that he can have the right to have babies.
is it part of the reason women live longer than men?
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is thought that men should try to conserve their semen as much as possible, as it is viewed as their source of vital energy. The more you ejaculate, the more it reduces your life expectancy.
Similarly, I remember reading something on a website linked by sex-blog operated by the same people who operate gizmodo.com that japanese "butter dogs" are not to be, uh, made to ejaculate more than once a day, because it can cut their life expectancy in half.
If you want to know what butter dogs are, you'll have to do your own googling:P
I've never smelled a rotting human corpse, but I've had the misfortune, in the past, of discovering dead rotting animals, eg mice, a cat, a racoon, a skunk.
With the exception of the skunk, they all had a similar smell. I would assume we don't smell that different from other rotting mammals.
don't worry. a retro fad is sure to kick in sometimes in the near future, and you'll see people trading in their iPods for vintage first edition mint Sony Walkmans.
A sure sign of this is those yellow Sports Walkman retrofitted to house iPods.
A quick googling provides this information about Japan's electricity: Electricity for domestic use is supplied at 100 volts, 60 cycles AC in west Japan (Osaka) and at 100 volts, 50 cycles AC in east Japan (Tokyo).
But those are Korean products we're talking about here.
Not that I know anything about it, but it could be that the products have to be tested against US standards for EMI, etc. or redesigned so they are compatible with a different electricity distribution system.
Also consider that the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918 happened at a point in time when 19 countries were at war. IIRC, over 21 million ppl died worldwide, just from that flu.
Could the social factors caused by WW1 have facilitated the virus' transmission? Probably.
I figure it's not a big stretch of imagination to equate strife with epidemics.

Even if they can still open the door with the key, a number of them still need the remote to deactivate the alarm system and activate the secure ignition circuit.
My brother had one installed, and I asked him what he'd do if his remote's battery ever went dead.
He shrugged and said he'd buy new ones at the store... but stores arent always opened when Murphy's Law decides to apply itself.
yea and in the last thread, no one answered my question... can the Huygens probe be re-aimed to a better landing site based on the new information about the surface?

Haven't you heard?
Pestilence is planning to come out of retirement with antibiotics-resistant bacteria and new-and-improved bovine-porcine-avian flu viruses!

How do you pronounce bagel? bay-jel or bay-gull?
Rules of pronounciation do not always make sense.

so, how do you make this methyl phenyl phosphine? (I'm assuming by chemical reaction, not by letting something rot...)

it's www.retropod.com
you can really buy them, I remember seeing a link somewhere on a blog, but I'm unable to remember which at the moment

SJ Games is not the author... they merely publish submissions from people who send it in.
In this case, the author of the paragraph is a certain Michael P. Owen.
I bet this thread gets the highest AC post ratio EVAR.
I've always wondered why no one ever made a "phantom edit" of Matrix Reloaded with that extra footage...
not only that, but usually, you cant even bring any wireless devices into secure places. at all.
makes me wonder if someone could tap into your phone to gather EM transmitted data picked up from nearby electronics.
i mean, why else would cellphones be banned from secure area?
Did the orders to open garage doors coincide with strange-shape experimental aircraft low altitude fly-bys? /tinfoil

They can let Mozilla develop all they want, and integrate Mozilla at a later date.
What would they call it, Microzilla Firesoft?

hopefully this time around i can get an answer
