From the article:
"..unlike their colour-blind counterparts elsewhere in the country that only smell blood at 15-20 metres."
Someone probably already mentioned this but mosquitoes don't detect animals by "smelling blood." They can sense high concentrations of CO2, which conviniently happens to be what humans exhale. The way propane traps work is by producing a large amount of CO2 thus attracting mosquitoes, and killing them when they get in range.
Personally, I don't really understand the question. I don't think that humans have lived long enough to even completely understand evolution, much less predict it.
I have been waiting for this to happen for so long! Thank gods (as Vimes would say)!
Haha!
If you are having Codec problems, google "Xvid" and download it.
Those few wi-fi finders look a bit ungainly. Usually, people have enough to carry around alone, not including extra stuff like that. Someone should make one with a lighted LCD display that could function as a keyring. Or maybe a combo flashdrive/wi-fi signal strength finder.
They are bad but they arent much worse than drugs and alchohol, which many people who don't do gaming indulge in. However, you can go to parties and not drink/smoke anything and be fine, like I do.
It looks as if he ran out of banwidth (or something?)

Hhahahah. Well said! Movie theatres are just a god damn inconvienience. I have a GOOD IDEA! Maybe if they sold versions of the movie that were a bit better than cams with perfect audio (thats all I really care about) for 5 bucks each when the movie comes out? Hah! Wont ever happen, but I can still hope.
I never really liked BT, slow file transfer speeds, having to use a browser to locate links to download from. IRC seems so much easier and more linear to me as well as more organized.
Me and my dad are Ham radio operators. I am only 16 and have much much more going on in my life than that so I dont do it much but I feel bad for my dad and all his friends because it has become a huge hobby for him. BPL=the death of the already dying activity...too bad.
Well, I know my younger brother will start foaming at the mouth again when he hears of this! We live in a town of only 200,000 people so not much stuff like that comes here. I think he may be dissapointed...
The iTunes music store would be a good solution (in the way of features, price, how it works etc) except for one problem: I listen to very obscure music. Basically, all I listen to is electronic music. This is NOT Paul Okenfold, DJ fillinnamehere or any of that repetetive trance, rave, dance, jungle, drum n' bass stuff. The music I listen to includes aritsts like:
Jimmy Edgar
Jega
Aphex Twin
Four Tet
Múm
Funkstorung
Crunch
L'usine
Autechre...and many more. This type of music is not listened to by very many people, especially in the USA, where I live. It is simply not easy to find, not played by radiostations (clear channel bullshit!) and not hyped about on MTV. Therefore, it is not in music stores or on music web sites. It would be nice if there was a music service with good music.
I find that if I go on a camping trip or if I go somewhere else or find something to do, I really dont miss the internet or computers in the least. Maybe because I love the real world 100 times more than technology.
According to one of a person on a forum, Doom 3 is not a very good game:
"Played it pre-release date cause of my affiliation with a certain computer magazine... Wasn't impressed at all. The graphics, whilst good, don't warrant the kind of hardware this game needs to run at decent res/speed. Its just down to poor coding. Look at FarCry... great graphics, but doesnt need anywhere near the kind of spec Doom 3 does... The engine is just miles better. Also, the sound design was inconsistent... While mostly solid, I got to half way through the game and got used to running around a corner and then checking behind me for a zombie which would magically spawn with no warning and no audible way of telling it was there before the red slashes came across the screen to tell you that you'd been hit.
The thing that I was least keen on though is the fact that Id basically decided to leave most of the multiplayer up to the players who are in to modding... Out of the box the multiplayer is far from great, and Id have openly said that they expect game modders to add much to it... Basically Id just got pressed for time after pushing back the release so much and thought "f**k it we'll just put it out as it is, it will do."
The fact that the game just feels so unrefined and unpolished just gets me... Had they taken the time to properly refine the engine, and make sure through playtesting that the sound was consistent the simgle player would have ben ok... Despite the fact that it's still just a re-hash of the original story (ugh...). I think I'll wait for HL2 instead, rather than being one of the sheep that creams themselves over an ultimately not-as-good-as-it-should-have-been game.
And before anyone says it, just because it was pre-release doesnt mean the verion i played wasn't final code... It was. Done and dusted final, so called "finished" game, so I'm not ranting about it from the perspective of playing a preview release tongue.gif
Sorry guys, but it used to be my job to pick up on these things... It just doesn't come naturally to just say "yeah, awesome" and move on.

"A thermonuclear bomb (at least as made in the fifties) is essentially a tank of deuterated and tritiated lithium hydride (LiH) that will explode with great fury if quickly raised to a temperature of millions of degrees within a span of milliseconds. It's very difficult to create the required temperatures quickly with chemical explosives- the easiest way to do it is to surround the tank with numerous small fission devices, which heat the tank to millions of degrees quickly and easily and are responsible for the radioactive fallout still associated with fusion bombs."
All of this technology, knowledge, money and research for what: to kill as many people as possible at the same time! Humans are a very strange species indeed.

What a horrible idea. I'll keep my iPod, thanks.
Check this site for some optimized builds: moox.ws I highly recommend downloading them, they make page loading and browsign significantly faster.

I guess the auto industry still doesn't understand that cars will probably not exist by the time this technology is perfected! How ironic.

In a computer age like this it is MUCH too hard for people to check a box with a pencil!
I was pronouncing his name wrong this WHOLE DAMN TIME! FUCK!!!!!!!!

This is fucking great! Thanks alot Mr. Ford!
I dont want freedom or constitutional rights either! Down with the ACLU!!! Your an idiot my friend

No matter what format they store it in, bit rot will never be eliminated on magnetic discs.
