Mistakes? It looks like they did that on purpose. In fact, they did it a second time.
This phone number was repeated in the episode where Jack attempts to recover the nuclear football; he gives his cell number to a man and his wife fleeing from Marwan.
Actually not. The heat created entering the atmosphere is caused by friction. That and the fact that it's only there for a short amount of time means the heat doesn't penetrate, it's only on the outermost layer. Small meteorites that don't desentigrate/vaporize/melt/crater/explode on impact are reportedly quite cool to the touch.
Doing a search for my full name, I come out with 1,040,000 hits. My brother got 1,710,000 and my cousin with a different last name got only 32,000. My cousin is probably more well known than my brother and I because he's in a band and his brother plays college football.
Apparently Google results have more to do with the commonality of the first and last name more than anything else. Articles written about you probably help a little, though.
Radio via tooth fillings. I haven't experienced it personally but my father (a radio engineer) told me about it few years ago, and I've seen it mentioned in a couple other places. IIRC, he had some friends that lived near a big AM tower and not only their tooth fillings, but everything in their house resonated. Listening to the washing machine was a favorite pasttime.
On the show they did some retarded thing with a low-power transmitter in a Faraday cage with a meter connected to some tooth fillings in a jawbone.
They have a disclaimer in which they explicitly state that they're "professionals", and then encourage that people not try the "experiments" at home, if I'm not mistaken. So it really doesn't encourage others to try such activities themselves.
Would you want someone to sue you because they built a cannon out of a tree, then blew it up and killed/injured themselves? It's there to prevent things like that. Also, IIRC, they have had a few shows with a safe experiment where they said they would like people to try it at home themselves.
...educational their program is not.
I know I've learned a few things on that show, mostly just bits of trivia such as how emergency elevator brakes are triggered (antique ones at least) but a less knowledgable person such as an elementary school student would learn things like what a Faraday cage is, how lightning works, and why putting a vaccum cleaner motor on your face is a bad idea.
But there is no doubt that sometimes they get things wrong. Once I watched them "disprove" a myth that I know for a fact to be true, which was rather dissapointing.
Animal Crossing is probably the best-seller for the DS in the States, too. When I went to buy a copy my local EB said they were sold out for three weeks.
Luckily, I can play Mario Kart online to heal my wounds:)
One of those ads was placed right in the CT spawn, and another in an area where there is relatively little action but in the direction players are normally looking as they pass through. Also, the seem very out of place to anybody who is familiar with the map. Players would notice them very quickly.
They (and their subcontractor Dignsys, who actually did the Linux port for the GP2X) have been approached repeatedly for release of their modified version of the Linux kernel. Reluctantly, they finally did so, releasing an early, out-of-date prerelease version of the source, which is useless to the developer community who would like to hunt down some of the current bugs.
The link stated that the released build doesn't even actually work on the system. RTFA next time, please.
With fighting games that happen on a 2d or psuedo-2d arena, that causes some problems. Normally, damage is determined by what kind of move you made and what kind of blocking move the opponent made. If they added details like that they would have to implement hit detection for different parts of the body, and then you'll have to implement something that allows the player to direct attacts to specific parts of the body other than just "low" and "high" otherwise it's useless. This causes even more problems with weapons-based fighters like Soul Calibur. Characters will be totally unbalanced because one guy's sword swing animation just happens to be at neck height for most of the other characters. It's also difficult in 3d due to the available controls, but IIRC Jedi Knight II had some really in-depth lightsaber stuff.
It makes more sense to do stuff like this only in FPS games is because guns are more easily aimed with a pointing device. Fists and blades don't work that way. Now, if we had some sort of virtual reality, it would be perfectly feasible for obvious reasons.

This one added for extra emphasis, the the mods don't seem to be noticing the other one.
He gives false summaries. It looks like he just guessed on every one.
At least they're not streaming WMV.
Blowing things up is quality awesomeness. Did you know they had to shut down a nearby highway when they did that?

AC said something worth reading
They use a Java applet for every single link on the page. Please us before posting a link like that.

IIRC, it's even easier in Ubuntu. Click the blinky update icon, type your password, and let it go.

Could this be what's warping the Milky Way, previously thought to be Dark Matter?
But the source releases don't match thier binaries - it's a buggy and incomplete prerelease version.

... Gosh, thanks ^_^
And here I thought that only happened in movies.
No, no, no. He said intelligence in the universe, and you're measuring it based on the population of the planet.
Obviously there's some mass extinctions going on somewhere.
"Full-time"? You only have to program it once.
The holiday season sure lived up to my expectations.
DS! Woo!
