I find it ironic that you refer to this guy as a "stupid fuck" and then talk about the need to grow up. Your point is valid, but you hurt your argument with your 13-year-old vocabulary. Maybe you need to grow up a bit yourself.
I am a hearing-impared individual who is funcional with hearing aids but basically deaf without. As my hearing has gotten worse, I have found myself making adaptations without realizing it. About a year ago, I realized I was able to identify the people I work with via the vibrations through the floor when they approach. I am not sure how long I have been doing this. I have long been aware of increasing sensitivity in my vision, but my sense of touch??? Freaky.
For the hearing who wonder what exactly we are talking about, telecoil is a magnetic link with the speaker of the item you are listening to. The microphone is shut off. Most cell phones crank out a lot of magnetic noise. I have this problem with my $2,000 (each!) digital Interra AV MM's and my Nokia phone. I simply use the included headset that comes with the phone and loop the small speaker behind my ear close to the hearing aid, then switch to telecoil. The sound I get is so good, I prefer to use my cell phone over any other phone.
Unitednuclear.com has actual radioactive materials. And alot of other cool stuff. Don't go there if you don't want to spend money. Check out the "Wanna Buy Some Uranium" gif. Ha!
If glass is so hard to get perfectly flat how do they make these perfect panes of glass? They pour the molten glass onto a bath of molten tin, the glass floats on the surface and cools. The glass is therefore as flat as the curvature of the earth. Neat idea.

Actually, they usually add small bits of crystalline metal to form a composite of glassy and crystalline metal. This stops the glassy metal from shattering when compromised. Developing the right composite is the hard part.
A couple of years ago, I was reading up on lightning due to a personal interest. In particular, I was wondering why victims (common here in Florida) were often described as having their "shoes blown off." This seems like an oddly comic turn to a rather tragic event. The fact is, it does happen and often. The high voltage passing through the skin instantly turns the surface moisture to steam, with explosive results.
Think about how creepy the face of someone looks who has had a stroke. It's quite disturbing at first. Look at a large crowd, everyone looks different! We are very sensitive to facial appearance.
let's say you take an action figure, say something like a second-generation Gi Joe (small one) and you put a blow torch on his feet. Well. the plastic melt and ignites at the same time and flaming balls of plastic drip off. You don't want to get those on yourself, they will burn right through your skin, lickety-split, and leave a HOLE in you. The worst thing is, I have two friends, whom I did grow up with, who have scars for the same reason. Why did he need to burn?
First off, I think what you are trying to say is "replace a farmer's horse with a TRACTOR" I have never seen anyone plow a field with a Monte Carlo. The reason the farmers changed over to the tractor had to do with the fact that a tractor would allow them to get more work done with less help. I.E., it's more efficient. What you are offering is something slower and more expensive with a "Wow" factor, NOT something more efficient. Having said that, I do think the Segway is cool and fun, but it pales in comparison to the sleek, refined design of the bicycle.
I am so sick of this Segway crap. What we fat-ass Americans need is a good bicycle. God forbid we should get the tiniest bit of exercise. A good-quality bicycle is about 1/10 of the cost of the Segway, is much more reliable, lasts longer, goes faster, looks cooler, doesn't need charging, burns calories, etc. Rant ends here.
I take that shit outside where the breeze takes it away, instead of letting it settle back onto something else I have to clean. Is that not an option for you? Frankly, I am less concerned about toxic dust than the fact that most dust is SKIN FLAKES. I do not want to breath the skin of some of the nasty mofos I work with.
you can have your heads shaved (metal removed from the bottom of the head to increase compression ratio) if you always run high octane gas. This works. Don't try using cheap gas after doing this, the predetonation will destroy your engine.
I don't know about bio-diesel, but if I can get a car that runs on methane, I could drive for three days on $10 worth of Mexican food. The adapter between my digestive system and the car might be uncomfortable though...

Dude, start wearing death-metal shirts and get a skull tattooed on your neck. Then use a large hunting knife as a pointer when telling them what the problem was. No more font problems!
This book basically covers what I do at my job. You easily can get this info via Google if you know the search terms. The issue here is people don't want to have to think about it, they would rather just have someone take care of it. Come on, I get support calls regarding aliases missing from the desktop. The real market for this book is tiny, although a number of people will buy it to collect dust.

Hello? The original post ends with the line "Are there any stories out there relating how bad it can be if it goes wrong?"
I don't think I would try this. http://www.lasikdisaster.com/ten_reasons.htm

"borken?" That is an oddly appropriate misspelling, I like it!
That is one dubious recommendation there.
I'm sorry you didn't want money from Nigeria or a larger penis. I was just trying to help. Love, Eric
