'i' is 4 letters after 'e' so clearly, by linear extrapolation, the next letter should be 'm'.

Kind of has a ring to it, even.

I really don't find maintaining a goatee to be sufficiently difficult to require a specialized device like this. However, if someone made one of these sorts of things for a mohawk, I'd probably buy one.

It's really hard doing precision shaving of the back of your head.

Where's the video of it crushing a dozen broken down, regular Segways?

Cheesy intro dialogue aside, Einhander is an amazingly good scrolling space shooter.

If one person, anywhere manages to extract the movie in full, encode it without SOC and upload it to the Internet, the whole purpose is defeated.

I wonder why the MPAA doesn't ask themselves the following question: Will people be more likely to watch a movie in a form that won't work on their television and stereo or one that will?

Honestly, I would happily pay for television, movies and music if they were offered to me at a reasonable price in a manner that was as convenient and usable as stealing from the Internet.

Look, I don't know about the rest of you folks, but I've cut pizza with scissors quite a few times and it works really well.

My guess would be that this will save Sprint an incredible amount of money on tower maintenance. It may also allow TowerCo to lease tower space to Sprint's competitors, which would lower the per-tower costs for Sprint. Just a guess but seems like there might be reasons this is a good idea.

IANAL but I have taken a few law classes and I recall a Torts case about booby-traps and the ensuing discussion on the matter.

The law, of course, varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction but the general rule is that booby-traps to protect people are sometimes ok but booby-traps to protect property are never ok. A trap that injures someone breaking into your home might be ok; a trap that injures someone breaking into your tool shed will be a crime.

As such, booby-trapping your bike will be a crime.

Microbes are great and all but, if you're interested in cool extremophiles, allow me to bring Tardigrades (aka. water bears) to your attention. Tardigrades are one of, if not the, most hardy and extremophilic animals found on Earth.

Quoting wikipedia: "Water bears are able to survive in extreme environments that would kill almost any other animal. They can survive temperatures close to absolute zero, temperatures as high as 151°C (303°F), 1,000 times more radiation than any other animal, nearly a decade without water, and can also survive in a vacuum like that found in space."

Don't forget that Microsoft is, first and foremost, a software company. Microsoft did very nearly the same thing way back in the day when they brought us MS-DOS and let other people do the hardware.

If Microsoft published specs and required conformance they could sit back and make money off the Xbox 360 operating system, game licensing, Live Gold memberships, Live software sales and not have to worry about selling systems at a loss.

This would not only be a really good business move on their part but also in line with their history.

The Pentel P205 mechanical pencil is one of the finest writing implements that I've ever used and was certainly one of my very early gadgets. My dad had picked one up somewhere and really liked it as a pencil; I asked him to get me one and I've never gone back.

Consider, for a moment, that this interstitial advertisement was for another television show, not for a product. This advertisement was not paid for by some external entity and, thus, discussion of the monetary value of interstitials doesn't apply in the traditional sense. This is just a really annoying advertisement.

It'd be cooler if it kept multiple balls in the air at one time.

@TIABLA
Please do!

Is there no one that can provide a link to complete versions of the husband and wife tests?

A little bit of water can really open up a scotch or make it more palatable to those that don't like it straight. Chilling scotch just dulls your tongue and the flavor. This product is not only frivolous but thoroughly in opposition to proper appreciation of fine scotch.

I guess that's what you get from a company that informs us, on their "About Us" page, that they are taking scotch drinking cues from a "Canadian Geochemist."
