Not really. I wouldn't mind if whoever is responsible for making sure that script-fu windows always pop up in front of all other windows (hint: they don't) got a little porcupine action to sharpen up his skills.
Lots of things within our atmosphere generate magnetic fields.. natural magnets, electromagnets.. and other magnet-ey things.. no need to go into space to measure their effect.
I was under the impression that when you cut the cheese it blossoms forth rapidly into 3 dimensional space. Of course, this form of cheese is known as flatus, which is similar to flat, so I can see where the confusion is arising here.
Compare to Germany's autobahns - what are the accident rates like there? Of course if you drive >100mph on a windy road then you are asking for trouble, but if you are on a fairly straight road, what is the issue?
There are traffic congestion and speed cameras in the UK, but AFAIK none are used to check for style of driving.
Nah I would remember Muse:p Basically I think at least 7 people have now mentioned similar music videos, so this article is officially Not News! Apart from the Freedom of Information aspect of course.
Ah, the music game could indeed be a problem, but I think even for the running games you can still use one? I don't have the Wii at the moment, I left it with my siblings at my mum's house.
I thought that the shooting sections required both, but they work with just one. It's been quite a while since I completed it, but I don't think there are any that actually require both..
You could be right, but there aren't even that many of them to begin with, and aside from possible tribe members going on expeditions out to areas near the deforestation (which by the sounds of it is too far away and therefore impractical when they have more pressing matters like gathering food and general survival), and planes flying overhead like this, I personally think that they would have no reason to believe that humans could make such objects, anymore than I believe that humans will be capable of launching chi-energy-balls (without technological aids) in 100 years time. That would be cool though:)
Our MD bought a standalone copy for 350 pounds (440 euros) last year - and that was just for Small Business 2007! I dread to think what the 'professional' version would have cost him. OEM copies are the way to go if you want Office.
Even worse, that copy of small business is just lying around not even being used, as I either transferred Office 2003 Pro from his previous machine, or he already had an OEM version on the laptop, can't remember which. It has Vista too. I wonder if he'll just continue to fight on with it or if he'll eventually go back to XP. It's technically a slightly faster machine than my own laptop, but it runs far slower in general use. Pathetic.
How about PPS? DocX? I've not tried opening DocX documents but I suspect somehow that they are not able to open perfectly in anything but Word 2007 - I doubt even Word 2003 documents are perfectly rendered in anything but Word 2003. It is indeed, ridiculous, but that doesn't automatically mean that it won't exist. Vista is ridiculous too - it's a step backwards in almost every way from XP - but it still exists, and people still buy it..:(
Good idea! I would have loved something like that back in my CS days, I was fast running out of space on my keyboard with all the warcraft mod binds etc that I had.
Actually, I just had a quick google ('custom USB foot pedal') and these pedals look to be really good value? $35 seems really good to me anyway:)
When I broke my left arm (and I'm left handed), they had a NES in the hospital - I played duck hunt for a bit, then tried SMB for a laugh, and was surprised when I discovered that I could jump to the top of the flag pole at the end of the first level (because I don't think I'd even done that with 2 hands when I'd played it at a friend's house before). I agree with tepples that the guy should get a Wii if he wants to game - a few games work fine with just one controller (I know at least Rayman Raving Rabbids, Wii Sports, and Super Paper Mario all work with one controller). There are also mod instructions out there for guitar hero controller so that you don't need to strum when you hit the buttons, having only one arm is one of the few decent reasons to actually do that kind of mod.
Driving slowly is not the same as driving safely, though any accidents had are admittedly less likely to cause damage at lower speeds, so you could say that's "safer".
Our cars generally handle better anyway so we can take corners better than those boats they make in North America:P You don't make driving safer with cameras, you make it safer with appropriate vehicles and training. Basically everyone in the UK breaks the speed limit by varying margins, some are idiots, some are not. Our speed limits were made in 1974 - we have better brakes, suspension and tyres these days, so I think the speed limit on motorways could sensibly be raised to 80 or 90 for good weather (I think they're about 85mph in France when it's dry).
I'm suggesting that we know that we can create flying machines these days, but still a lot of people attribute unknown flying craft to non-man-made craft. There are of course plenty of people that would also consider them secret government test vehicles and such too, but if planes weren't publicly well known and every day, what would you personally think if you saw one flying overhead? Imagine if you were living in the dark ages and you saw an F117A flying overhead - would it be 'rational' to assume that this craft was man-made when current thinking said that metal couldn't even float in water, let alone the air? Heh, there goes a jet roaring overhead as I type:)
If these guys have not been contacted by us or any other 'modern' civilisations, would they have any reason to believe that any other people in the world have such vastly superior tech to them? If anyone showed me a working time or teleportation machine today, I'd assume that it was not built in our own time - either that or not on our own planet.
Actually that's not even the one I saw, I think it was totally black and white, and was all indoors. Looks like quite a few bands have done this then!:p
I concur in general about the time thing, but I think it's important to take time out to relax and get exercise in those ways anwyay. I started walking to work about a week ago, enjoying the good weather, and taking advantage of the fact that I've been banned from driving for 3 months (for speeding on the motorway, not dangerous/drunk driving), and I've noticed that my productivity at work has increased:)
I remember reading a theory that it was extra terrestrials:p At this point in my life I think it's more likely that a lot of the stories were made up, exaggerated, used shills, or maybe even used positive psychosomatic effects..

I'd say it's more a kind of sarcastic irony. I didn't include the whole song for brevity's sake.

The tree of international standards must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of coprorate shills and yacht-owning sell-outs

Nope, pretty sure it was just some English new-metal style band

In our society they're more likely to think "oh man I'm stoned", or "wow, that liquid has some high surface tension!" ;)
