It is worth pointing out that the key is made of plastic, which means that metal detectors won't get it. This is going to be a fun century.

There maybe a lot of films that you can take the colour away from with relatively little cost to the viewer. But some of the best films: Schindler's list, The Matrix, V for Vendetta, etc would lose a lot if the had to be entirely black and

Once upon a time, the foreman on the shack that made a cannon would _sit_ on it when it was first fired (I don't think that included the cannonball, but still). The reason was that if the inside wasn't smooth, the cannon might go off.

It is not really apples to apples though: there are so few people flying their own planes that the loss of one private plane would be the same as the loss of several commercial ones. The law of large numbers apply, but only to large numbers

After pulling an allnighter, I fell asleep during a math class and woke up so many times that I would start dreaming before my eyes closed. It is extremely annoying not knowing if what you just experienced was true or a dream, so I ended up

I configured Thunderbird to alert me to all incoming emails by showing a preview window (no sound), which I can then very quickly scan to see if the email is important (I had several near miss emails from my university, but, as a student, I

I completely fail to see what is so important about this. Don't you by definition need to know the postcode of whomever you need to send mail to? If so, what benefit do you get from this stuff?

I hope it is taken further. There is really no reason for each and every startup to go out and find living space, internet connections, cook food, clean, etc. themselves; rather such things are rather cheap if they are brought by a company.

Way back, my grandfather used to haggle in the local shops (back when they where still worked by their owners, haggling was possible). What he didn't get, was that the shopkeepers knew he was going to haggle and so adjusted the price upward

My bad English :) If was trying to say that Nuclear power wasn't that popular in leftist circles, and that they had more influence in Europe than America, therefore Europe didn't like nuclear power as much as America.

I don't know. If I had the money to invest, either response would be good although I would prefer the last one (you know in your gut that you are right and they are wrong, and you know you don't get anything from going back to the drawing b
