@me_eit: well my kids take it on board as they have not been indoctrinated yet.

Jack, you might also like the Bianchi Café and Cycles store in Stockholm. It's another concept, but if you like swedish design, bikes, and coffee, it's an original pitstop for your wi-fi and caffeine cravings.

I'm torn between someone's backwards, dogmatic views holding back humanity, and their backwards, dogmatic views actually causing new science to be produced to work around their idiocy. It's a conundrum.

Well, duh. How do you think Keith Richards stays alive?

@ChaosEh: nah, don't believe you

I actually use a similar kind of clip to hold my DSLR for climbing photography and video works. Does a great job, the weight of the camera is well balanced on the hips such as the weight and balance are almost not affected. I don't know of this particular one, but looks very similar in design.

It doesn't involve the furthering of science as a central theme of the story? It's the reason why I've heard Star Wars described as Fantasy before — it involves science or order that was actually more advanced in the past. Dhalgren seems more like just an interesting book — perhaps that's why the term "speculative…

While I loved the book, I don't know if Dhalgren is really SF, is it?

It's Europe. I'm surprised it's not called "currant."

FWIW, you mean <1 and >4.

I never believe anything I read on a blog

"Don't just look at it, lovingly stroke it with your tongue for as long as is necessary."

Semi-transparent edges coupled with a little bit of light bleed, along with the fact that who knows exactly what a sunrise/sunset actually looks like on Westeros. Dream man, dream!

Wrong Alabama stereotype. This one's wheels were worth more than the car.

The sun and moon rising could be achieved through the use of panels placed between the inner surface of the sphere and the sun. The sphere itself might be large enough where an observer on the inner surface wouldn't be able to notice the upward curve, maybe.

Take it from someone who's been hacking Android phones for years — you're not missing anything from not having Android 2.3. Just make sure whatever phone you get has Android 2.2, at least, and you're perfectly fine.

Top left, man.

Maybe in the UK (where you _do_ have to give over passwords under threat of law) — I'm quite certain the courts have overturned multiple cases about this in the US, though.

Stupid question: this is from the filming of the show, right? I mean, the actors just don't walk around like that, do they?

I'm sure it was even worse back when it was racial integration. We have a long way to go, but we'll get there.
