It's relevant because we've evolved in the current climate. It may have been warmer millions of years ago but we didn't evolve to live in those climates.
Yeah, maybe they should look way back 4 million years when there were no humans. That would be great. 120,000 years may not be a significant amount of time for the planet but it's a very considerable percentage of the time Homo Sapiens have spent on this rock.
Oh yeah, if you give someone the bird in Japan then, well, you're giving them the bird.
Might be good to check they don't have a lot of tattoos or are driving a car with black tinted windows first;-)
I teach in Japan and I've found some gestures to be the same whilst others are quite different. The OK sign in the west is often misinterpreted as it is similar to the the sign the Japanese use for money.
When you call someone over to you or hail a cab you use your hand palm down and make a kind of gesture that looks like a western childs goodbye gesture.
These are just a couple of examples.
From the National geographic article on the squid....
The longest giant squid on record measured 59 feet (18 meters), including its two elongated tentacles.
It's just you!
The sidekick really is the most fantastic piece of technology ever released. Buying one will probably get you laid by the girl of your dreams too.
(did I say that right boss?);o)
You are so right and I am so wrong. I beg forgiveness from you. Please allow me to flog myself and gain redemption for my heinous crime against slashdot and each and every one of its users.

Fair point. I should have been clearer about that. Thanks for clearing it up.
They should use shipping containers - even cheaper? Check some of these out - www.container-life.com

I hope you don't have any children.

Will this work on Japanese porn too? My friend wants to know.
I love my Newton 2100. I so wish Apple would release a new version. I'd buy it in a second.
Perhaps you should consider moving South rather than wishing for a change to the entire planets climate.

Damn - I have trouble remembering where I parked my car at the best of times. If it's gonna start changing colour too then I'm really screwed!

You should try "tits" and "pussy" - its funny!

Thanks! Downloading it now!
Is there a mac version?
Its sad to see such stupidity on a website for supposedly intelligent people like slashdot.
You'd think they would be the first to welcome a bit of global warming too wouldn't you?
Cheers drive ;o)
I think it is just because the ambient noise level tends to be lower during the night so you hear the trains more easily.
