reminds me of quinine. They tried that once upon a time, it worked when it was being taken and it is still around in some tonic waters (but not enough to actually DO anything about malaria nowadays, that would be too bitter), but since malaria is still a problem, one can conclude that "stopping malaria after being bitten" is not the most effective preventative measure.
I dunno, ask this guy what being blue does to his vision. He used colloidal silver (i.e. silver dissolved in water) as a folk medical treatment for so long that it tinted him blue.
some day, in the far off future of October 1st, 1993, 'people' will understand computers and all of this tomfoolery will cease to be a problem. The internet will revert to civilized discourse for the propagation of knowledge and ideas.
Its wierd because if you pointed to an individual letter written in cursive and asked me which one it was, I couldn't tell you with more than a 1-in-26 certainty, yet I can read cursive writing, not very fast, but it is understandable to me.
at&t and most other carriers are pretty much required to allow you to switch phone numbers. You have to complain about it though.
One thing you can do is if your phone allows it, you can assign unknown/blocked a ring tone, but make it ring silent (this varies from phone to phone, google is your friend, I did it on my Razr). Include something in your voicemail message that if they are calling from an unknown/blocked number, leave a message and you'll get back to them.
That way you can sell people with clip art, flying headlines, and indecipherable diagrams that will cause people to want what you've got, but have no clue what it is and how it can help them!
I hope that they put on a really really good telephoto lense. Those original footprints have the chance of lasting for thousands of years if WE DON'T STOMP ALL OVER THEM WITH A FRICKING ROBOT.
the zune subscription tied with the zune software is incredibly easy and perfectly legal. $15 bucks a month and you get unlimited access to music that lasts as long as your subscription, you do, however, get to keep 10 songs a month that are included with the cost of the subscription. I use it for my listening needs because i don't need to hoard music forever, being able to play an album for a month or two and then delete it is precisely what I need in a service. Yes its drm, Yes its not my music, but i'm perfectly aware of that and I'm ok with it. I "rent" books from the library and "rent" movies from Netflix, why not music?
P.S. Its amazing how fast it is too, I mean you have microsoft hosting 2 million songs and only 6 people are using it. Songs download LIKE THAT! *snaps fingers*
Imagine how slow bittorrent would be if only 6 people used it...
The legal definition (as was explained to me by a drunk law school student) is that a company is a group of people working together towards a shared goal. I.E. a bunch of boy scouts who want to go camping could technically call themselves a company, a bunch of guys looking to go out drinking could technically be called a company. Scale that up and the foundation could be technically called a company.
Your issue isn't with the technical use of the word, but diction, its implied meaning and associations. That being said, the use is technically incorrect but not artistically apt.
Where the Hitchhiker's Guide is in error, it is definitively so. This means that Reality is the one who got things wrong. So when the publishers of the Hitchhiker's Guide got sued by the families of tourists who took literally the sentence 'Vicious Bugblatter beasts often make a good meal for visiting tourists' which should have been rendered 'Vicious Bugblatter beasts often make a good meal of visiting tourists', the publishers brought in a poet to testify under oath that the second sentence is the more aesthetically pleasing of the two, and that Beauty is Truth and Truth, Beauty. They argued then that Life itself was the culprit for being neither beautiful nor true. In a startling decision, the judges agreed, holding Life in contempt of court and confiscated it from everyone present before going out for a round of Ultra-golf.
provided that the SSD is used only for hibernation data, the cost of the drive is more than the cost of the data, meaning that you can replace the drive for cost of drive + nada. If, however, you wish to rely on the drive for anything more than hibernation, you run into a case where the data is more valuable than the drive and additional measures should be taken to protect that data. Knowing most people though, they'll just curse and turn purple when their report is gone and the drive is dead.
I don't think the submitter was asking for a Sunday school answers to a request for science instruction. While it is perfectly acceptable to use God to fill the holes in knowledge for the time being (if a society must because it has a sever phobia of areas of uncertainty and doubt), it is not acceptable for a society to refuse to acknowledge scientific findings, or refuse the future possibility of what science may find simply because it has already answered that particular question with the stock "The Creator did it."
At least they GET data rather than just basing their opinions what they're fed. Honestly, when was the last time you did a thorough scientific experiment in your personal life? I think that personal science involves questioning the status quo, not accepting everything at face value, and figuring out how to answer your questions. Simply because your methods wouldn't stand up to rigorous testing doesn't mean that you can't use it to make good decisions. Ultimately I think that is the role of science in peoples lives, to answer questions and aid in decisions.
While I don't always agree with the mythbuster's methods, at least they don't sit around waiting for the talking heads to hand down the truth from on high. The scientific spirit of the program is strong if the flesh is sometimes weak.
P.S. Relying entirely on mythbusters for your science is just as bad as blindly believing the news (New study!

Or drop the Obama since Garcia is not the official whitehouse photographer, which might be construed as the Obama Photographer because the whitehouse photographer mostly photographs the president in interesting places meeting interesting people.
One other thing. If someone takes a picture of me and only me, shouldn't I have some say in what happens to the picture? I know that there have been instances where car companies have stopped fan made calenders from being distributed (i forget the case law as to who won though), so shouldn't people have rights over their likenesses? If Obama says that the use of his picture is cool, it should be cool.
We could even use this to "protect the children" in that the subjects could step forth and demand damages. That angle alone should get 90% of washington behind it.
i think the subjects were instructed to chant a neutral word or a swear word. Not that people who swear have higher pain tolerances than those that are so gosh durn cultured and never use that fricking language, but swearing may increase a pain tolerance.
The cost of corn is very very very dependent on the cost of oil. Due to the energy hungry nitrogen fixation process required to make the fertilizer so rich in energy it can be used to make bombs (see the Oklahoma city bombing for the effects a van-load can have), corn has been described as being "edible oil", due to it taking 2 calories of oil energy to create 1 calorie of corn energy. Oil goes down, corn prices go down, food prices go down. Don't get me started on the wet milling process required to make corn products into xanthan gum, corn oil, natural raspberry flavor, and the hundreds of other corn derivatives that you read on the ingredients label of just about every processed food. (but a 13:1 energy in:energy out ratio comes to mind). Also, when it comes to meat, it takes 9 pounds of corn to make 1 pound of cow. There is definitely a trickle down effect where the price of food is based on the price of oil.
Other food prices are also dependent on oil prices due to fertilizer costs and transportation costs as well.
there was a company called "Your Long Distance Company" or "Your Phone Company" (i forget which) that would call you during dinner about switching something or other. So people switched and got hit with higher charges.

In a game that lets you consume mutant rat meat, I think that the 200 years in a barren wasteland has influenced the definition of "consumable."
