(Youngsters rejoice; if you missed the original Prisoner TV series, you may have another chance- director Christopher Nolan may be planning a movie version.)

Or, y'know, you can you can get it on DVD or Blu-Ray instead of watching crappy remakes.

And what a lovely greeting that will be for their customers who *meant* to call them...

Point me to where it says that. In the original post, please.

He said:

"what happens if you flick the extreme of a pencil, in space".

And in a later clarification:

Either the eraser end or the tip of the pencil

Looking back at it, I realize that I did assume that the "flick" wasn't aimed down the length of the pencil, but I think that's a reasonable assumption.

others stank (space hippies, anyone?)

Ah, c'mon, the space hippies were fun. Herbert!

"Headin' out to Eden, yeah, brother..."

Voltaire sucks.

C'mon, didn't you enjoy "Expendable" at least a little bit?

Because a force vector that does not intersect with the center of gravity has been applied. That causes the object to spin. It's the same principle as reaction control system thrusters on spacecraft.

The answer is that lift is actually generated mostly by the angle of attack (air hitting the underside of the wing, pushing the plane up). Bernoulli's principle usually helps, though. Stunt planes that are designed to regularly fly upside down often have symmetric airfoils and don't use Bernoulli's principle at all.

Correct. The correct answer is that the pencil will start spinning *and* moving away from you. And you will start moving away from the pencil, although much more slowly, since you weigh so much more. You'll probably start slowly spinning as well, depending on where the vector of the flick was in relation to your center of gravity.

You didn't have to even pick a CYOA book. It's a bit gimmicky, but writing an ordinary novel in the second person has been done a few times--Jay McInerney's Bright Lights, Big City; Carlos Fuentes's Aura; Charles Stoss's Halting State, to pick a few examples.

Actually, for shaving, there is Technicals-->Beauty-->Body Care-->hair removal. And for gardening, there's Technicals-->Agriculture-->Floriculture-->Gardening

Some of those are in here. Shaving and gardening I don't see, but there is Technical-->Kitchen. And there is Technical-->Wheel vehicule[sic] handling-->Land vehicles-->Car driving. Which is then helpfully subclassified into Volvo, Ford, Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru, because of course you have to retrain before you change car brands. And the world's largest car manufacturer (Toyota) doesn't rate a mention.

I think those would go into the "Technicals" category, which seems to be their catchall "Other" category.

I Robot had nothing to do with the book. It was in fact written on another title first and then they bought the name to slap on it because people would recognize it, and, hey, it's about robots, right? A bit of script touch-up to change a few names (gotta have Susan Calvin, although of course she won't be plain) and put in a few references to Asimov's concepts, and we're done!

Which works really well when the poster is hiding behind an pseudonym. Also when he's in another country where your country's police can't get at him.

Dumber shit.

Can you tell the difference between an IP assigned to a public park web cam vs someone's living room?

If I have to guess a password (even if it's a default one), it's somewhere I probably shouldn't be.
