right, the editor fixed it. higher pressure inside makes perfect sense. except for when the power goes out and the smoke (and other stuff) can re-enter.

exactly.

that may be, but it really does not seem to be what the article says, "Inside emergency stair wells, the air will be kept at a lower pressure than the outside air." that clearly says emergency stair wells are at lower pressure. how do you read that as the reverse?

betcha the politics there are not as screwed up as they are here on Terra Firma. that would violate some Law of Physics...

right, like the CDC does with its Level-4 containment labs. and, that raises the further question of what happens to that higher pressure when the power goes out? smoke, that's what

this seems counter-intuitive to me: "Inside emergency stair wells, the air will be kept at a lower pressure than the outside air to keep them clear of smoke in the event of a fire." shouldn't the pressure be higher inside to keep smoke out?

"handwavium" LOL. thanks for paying such close attention to all the details

three final episodes of The Sarah Jane Adventures.

no mention of Jinxy being fired?

In my 1998 book, Playing for Profit, i wrote: "Television is something that watches you." That was 13 years ago. Not news.

Of course this research does not apply to New Yorkers, who are genetically predisposed to such such language. For them, cursing is like breathing.

BBC America has released a trailer for the remainder of season 6: [www.youtube.com] totally awesome. and Rory punches Hitler!

Thor doesn't like io9 ignoring the final episodes of Primeval series 5

tobacco too

You can read about what happened after the end of the last Blake's 7 episode by reading "Afterlife" by Tony Attwood. Avon lived... (is that a spoiler?)

the latest episode of Primeval (s05e04) is the best cliffhanger thus far

yeah, that's the fun in saying it.

i'd add "whatever you do, don't blink" and "allons'y"
