The "arguments" over the films meaning remind me of the big debates after Basic Instinct about who did it. The truth is, though, that Basic Instinct never gave you enough information to know who did it, and I think the same can be said for Prometheus. They keep throwing you random scraps to keep your mouth watering,…

Again, though, I think this is why Apple has grown to be the most valuable company on the planet. They understand that user experience should be part of the development process. This button is not something that someone in marketing just stuck on to the interface after the product was ready to go. There was a…

I guess that is my point: user experience is a function of the computer.

Actually, this is functional. People, especially the ones who build computers, constantly underestimate the importance of user experience. Jobs understood this, and that is why Apple is so different and doing so well.

Jersey Shore?

Well, Queen Victoria did say to stare at the wall and think of England. . .

How about, Snow White and the Space Man? Oh, wait. . .

The stated tactic of the oil companies is not to argue against global warming, but simply to create enough misinformation so that people are unable to decide and so take action. Just looking at this thread, I think they've succeeded.

I like the idea of hanging the power strip upside-down, but wrapping all of your electrical plugs in a wire cage seems like a great way to kill yourself! I think I'd try finding a plastic cage, or somehow attaching the powerstrip directly to the underside of the desk without a cage. Anyhow, just don't want anyone to…

You could easily do this. The problem is it would take you two years to catch up once you get back online!

Maybe they mean the Chinese iPad(TM) made by Proview - that thing looks like it weighs a ton!

I'm kind of glad they only get 13 more episodes to tie things up. I love this show to death, but sometimes I feel like they just have too much time on their hands to keep writing cool episodes rather than providing some closure.

He leaves out, however, the hardest part, which is figuring out what you want to be in the first place! My own low self esteem came from me not being the things that OTHER people want me to be (and that quite frankly, I never could be). It took me a long time first to stop listening to the others and second to decide…

The real truth about College is that originally it was never intended as job training for anything outside of academics (or the clergy). At best, for non-academics, it was supposed to broaden your character and (hopefully) teach you how to think critically. Now people think College should be training them for working…

Don't forget the Bunny Cage hotel for Honeymooners.

All except for the funny accent! :)

A 75-85% chance that something will kill you is a pretty good reason to keep screening and treating.

For myself, I have a reasonable amount of chocolate each morning with my coffee, mainly for enjoyment, but also because I find "feeding the beast" makes me less likely to snack during the day. I wouldn't' be surprised if the same was true for this study.

And he's Irish!!

There is a historical record of some kind of atmospheric event in 536 that lead to widespread crop failure and probably contributed to a plague in the following years.
