   You make a good point. But I think most people, given the right external stimulus, will become aware of a thirst for knowledge. I think it's an open question as to whether anamnesis is real or not, and whether only people with a predisposit

   How trivial are the placement of the payload and its subsequent retrieval?

   My experience with current LCD screens seems to indicate that they're next to useless in very bright situations, including bright sunny afternoons. I have a Nikon D90, which has a pretty amazing LCD, but on very bright days, I rely more on

   I, too, lost skype credit several years ago, but it was my own fault. After repeated warnings, I failed to take action. The fault was mine entirely.

   I believe thirst for knowledge can be learned. Ask any child (or adult!) who gets their mind blown what they see through a magnifying glass or a telescope. Maybe that's not learning thirst for knowledge so much as kick-starting it, but I th

   I didn't know that different frequencies would affect blocking effectiveness, but it makes sense. My initial design was for some kind of copper mesh, but my friend, practical and cost-cutty as he is, said to go with tinfoil to get a similar

   A friend of mine recently made me a duct-tape wallet lined with tinfoil. The theory is that this will act as a Faraday cage to protect my Mastercard with Paypass. I haven't tested it yet, but next time I'm at a Paypass place, I'm going to g

    Well, it puts an end to certain types of programmes that use loan histories. For example, some libraries allow people to check their personal loan histories. This is useful if you've ever dug deeply into a given subject at a library, and wo

    This is brilliant. I could have used this in draughty old apartments in Montreal, with their 12' ceilings and giant old radiators. Yet another of those "Why the ass didn't I think of... ah forget it" ideas.

    I have trouble viewing this as landscapes. I have to really focus to make them anything more than abstract textures. And for some reason all the craters look like they're convex, not concave. Great images, really makes me nostalgic for a fu

    Sometimes others find the words better than I can, so I sign a generic form letter to my member of Parliament. It's not really spam. It's heartfelt. Edit: I just wanted to add that while generally I agree that writing letters has little to

    Thanks for the great tips. I've been bored with the usual suspects in my bookmarks, and have returned to reading dead trees again. I'm loving it! But I suspect your advice here will help me rejuvenate my love affair with the internet.
