Comment Re:36% less pain (Score 1) 274

Are you telling me you never felt real pain while dreaming? My first experience was when I was 4-5 years old, and I dreamed that I kept falling into a river of tomato soup. When I fell in, there was an intense stabbing pain in my gut. Eventually I woke up to having diarrhea. I had a stomach bug for a couple of days that I felt the symptoms of when I was unconscious. Another dream much later in life, someone stabbed me in my foot. Apparently, I had kicked the post on my bed (as per my wife) and had a nice bruise in the morning to show for it.

and you _really_ have to read the instructions to play No kidding! Once upon a time, having a $50 Atari 2600, the only game I had was asteroids. At a yard sale, I picked up E.T. for $1, though it had no instruction manual. I played that for way way way too many hours, thinking I needed some secret hidden one last piece to the phone. Of course I never found it, the atari broke and I sold that E.T. cartridge at a yard sale for $1. Fast forward 25 years I pick up a 2600 in a nice clean original box, along with E.T. and several other games with nice clean boxes and instruction booklets. I took it all home and I broke open the E.T. instructions. All that time I wasted... there was no one more piece to the phone, I always got them all! You just had to go back to the very spot E.T. landed at the beginning of the game and press the button. I beat the game in 5 minutes.

It looks to be blocking relayed email, from a domain that it shouldn't originate from. I would think that is what we would want... mail can't come from one domain and claim to be from another. If this is the case, shouldn't the mailing list actually rewrite that it comes from the domain of originating mailing list? Because it is essentially coming from the mailing list

Comment How many games are we playing? (Score 1) 167

It says that rock *must* be thrown 50% of the time. Not that there is a 50/50 chance of the choice being rock for each game. So the number of games *has* to be set out before gaming commences. As you draw closer to the last game, the odds will change to how likely rock will be thrown. This is very similar to counting cards in a blackjack.
