Isn't premature ejaculation a common problem for men, and the most effective cure some sort of spray that acts as to dampen sensations?
Adding this to a condom strikes me as a good idea, and less of an embarrassment to a male sufferer than having to get out a ventilator for their penis.
Was it only because the tip looked used, or something else as well?
I wouldn't call it bad science, I'd call it very good science (and good health too), just poor presentation.
While I sort of agree with your smackdown, in a broad sense a plane is a vehicle and shutting it off while in flight could have serious consequences.
Not just because a passenger jumbo could fly into a mountain, but it might stray 50 km into, say, North Korean airspace and be shot down.
(Don't forget Slashdot is an international forum, and English is a second language for many people, so terms can often be meant as broader than you or I might see them.)
I'm calling BS on this, especially as you're posting AC.
I made a US info based PayPal account and even got as far as getting an iTunes based buyer ID for it, but as the credit card you HAVE to use to verify the account for iTunes was addressed in Australia, iTunes detected the country and rejected me.
It seems the only way to set up an iTunes valid PayPal account from Australia, is to BE an American with a US credit card, visiting Australia.
In which case, take your yank hands off our women!

You mean mod points are for THAT?
I thought they were for modding up people who say...
"Bah, this is nothing, I hacked up a similar thing back in the 40s on my 8 Hz proto Linux box which I made from a used radar tube and gave to Walt Disney. Nothing to see here, move along people (after modding me up for making some joke about old people in Korea)."
That's what mod points are for. How DARE you go against the/. culture of new product bashing!
A scent deliverer is one thing, but a "scent scanner" would be interesting too.
A device that could record in digital form what an environment smelt like, then it could be reproduced at a later time by something like the crystal ball thing in this article.
The scent deliverer might have to get some more depth. Maybe it could be the next big evolution of output devices... For instance, visual displays (monitors) evolved from 1-bit (monochrome), to 8-bit (256 colors), then 16-bit (thousands of colors), up to the useful 24-bit (millions of colors).
An olfactory delivery device could evolve from something like this crystal ball which might be at 4-bit (thirty something smells) at the moment, up to 16-bit (thousands of smells) in the near future.
Build them into webcams, then geekettes would not only feel oblighed to wear makeup, they'd have to put on their perfume too! And geeks would have to shower more frequently...
Also, after the Hollywood execs destroyed his career for not agreeing to do another Bond film, George Lazenby went to Hong Kong and made Chinese action flicks, which for anyone who knows anything about Chinese kung fu movies, are *not* made the same way as Hollywood movies.
So, unlike the tailor's dummies who play Bond, chances are he actually could fight.
Are you meant to have been paid? Is there a quota that has to be reached?
I sell stuff through Kagi, but unless it reaches a certain value, they don't pay me until it does.
What does your contract say? If you're meant to have been paid and you haven't, put it in writing. Breach of contract is usually an open and shut case.
I heard a rumour that Telstra / NineMSN had put up serious obstacles to preventing this from happening, but I've not be able to see it confirmed either way.
Australia's record industry also has a powerful lobby. They almost managed to kill parallel imports, and seem to be able to recruit high profile personalities (eg, Molly Meldrum) to spout the party line.
I'd be interested to know what is really going on. But it's no use expecting to see any journalists dig up the facts, given publications like the Sydney Morning Herald's long-term hostility to the iPod.
(How's this: when publishing a definitive review of MP3 players about a year ago, they omitted all reference to *the* MP3 player! They have to pay lip service to it now it's such a big hit, but most reviews damn it with faint praise. I think Creative must pay them more for their advertising.)
Slashdot Mirror
No, that isn't new, that happened in 1997. Even Slashdot isn't that slow in reporting news!
The historical irony is, however, that as part of the $150 million deal, Apple agreed to make IE to default browser...
What's wrong with them, and how "bad science?"

Of course. But, why did this get modded Funny and not Insightful?
Anyone else read this as Microsoft acquires spyware company?
Yes, I did too.
The thing is, I wasn't surprised in the least. I assumed they wanted to capitalize on their product activation dialogs or something.

Oh, didn't you know, they're not using truck bombs anymore. They're using BMWs with satnav street navigation systems.
Of course, once said BMWs are parked outside the embassy, I'm not sure how turning off the GPS network is going to help.
Oh, I forgot to mention that Asimo would be quite good for bomb disposal.
All I'll say is that I didn't come onto Slashdot to read about dishwashing and vacuuming!
:)
Jeez, you've become more wussified than Solo post-Greedo.
I just hope more geeks stay celibate if THAT'S what getting a girlfriend means!
PS
movement of new asimo looks very fluid ... chasing a Japanese chick
Oh dear, so it's come to this. Geeks don't even bother chasing girls themselves, they program their robots to do it.
Riiiight... Nothing to do with Isaac at all. Pure coincidence!
Robin Williams?!
When you have it look like Miss Digital World
The videos suggest that it is autonomous, as in one of them it doesn't respond the first time, and sometimes it seems a bit sluggish in comprehending.
If they were faking it, I feel they would do a better job.
I don't know about you, but I for one do NOT welcome our humanoid robotic 3 kph overlords.
WINE is not an enemy to your desire to run iTunes under Linux
Works from my PayPal account, and I'm australian!

He means Australia should make friends with the school bully in order to prevent getting the crap beaten out of it.
And so to achieve this, what the school bully wants, the school bully gets.

I am one of the few around here old enough to remember Maxwell Smart the TV detective.
I don't think that's true at all. Or else I'm suddenly feeling very old!

there's a new zealand now?
Yes, Old Zealand was where they filmed Lord of the Rings. All the towns look medieval so they didn't have to pay too much on the sets.
I heard a rumour that Telstra / NineMSN had put up serious obstacles to preventing this from happening, but I've not be able to see it confirmed either way.
Anything reported in the press is insubstantial: David Frith on recent iTunes releases
