It was a cool show. Bit weird watching a show about advertising on the only non-commercially subsidised free to air national TV channel. Also, I reckon we should still do it - to get the extra day off.

I can't tell from here, but the fact his version of the story got 'overruled' even though he was there makes me think it had just as much to do with image/future sales. They are trying to sell F-35's to an internati

I think its more like trying to find the highest mountain in a range of mountains, except there's too much fog so you can't see how high other mountains are compared to the one you're on, so you can't tell if you're

Fair call. So much of this stuff is simplified for us laypeople, but yeah - when you look up what so-and-so molecule does and find out how many different binding sites it interacts with as an agonist/antagonist/catlyst (and someti

Thanks for your personal empircal revelations. I'm sure you know Bupropion doesn't affect seratonin, its a dopamine re-uptake inhibitor. As someone who also doesn't seem to respond much to seratonin related meds, Burproprion

I've even played a version of the original Rogue. Nethack and Brogue are my preferred rogue-likes. The term rougelike has been watered down so much it means many different things to many different people. I do however have a hard time

In the 'old days' goths made their own outfits. Then Hot Topic came along and homogenised things. I also experience culture shock when I moved to the UK. I left Australia which was still "pre-emo", and arrived in the UK

Steven Levy's Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution is also worth a read, particularly the early part of the book which covers in detail stuff like the guys at MIT writing and playing Spacewar! on the PDP-1 in 1961. They even buil

Due to (over?)-connectivity music has gone extreme at both ends. We have the Taylor Swifts and Ed Sheeran's etc. at one extreme and the amazing voice of Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins, the vocal on Teardrop by Massive Attack etc. etc.

I think the whole industry wrecked our posture, and it goes back to the CRT era. The CRT monitors were big heavy things that sat on the desk. There effectively wasn't much manoueverabilty in a CRT stand, and only the expensive/lat
