'The Computer Science Club at the University of Waterloo has recently uncovered a recording of a talk Bill Gates gave in 1989. In the talk, Gates makes reference to many features that are in, or were planned for, Vista. He talks about advanced piracy protection involving a 'network', as well as a relational file system, which WinFS was planned to be. The talk is available for download from the Waterloo CSC"

Journal Journal: You are invited to take a drink from the Firehose

"You are invited to take a drink from the Firehose"

Wow do I feel special! How is it that someone like me, a person with "Karma: Terrible" gets invited to drink from the divine spring that is the Firehose. I could use the water, I am fasting for Lent, and water helps with the hunger pains. Usually just one meal a day now!

No, not this Divin.

Spray For Premature Ejaculation Helps

(WebMD) An anesthetic spray more than doubles the "lasting" time for men with premature ejaculation, according to a study by the company that makes the experimental spray.

The metered-dose, aerosol spray is a mixture of the anesthetics lidocaine and prilocaine. It is spritzed onto the tip of the penis 15 minutes before sex.

Before using the spray, the 54 heterosexual men in the study ejaculated, on average, one minute after vaginal penetration.

In the test, on four occasions, half the men used the anesthetic spray 15 minutes before sex, the other half a placebo with no active ingredients.

The men or their partners used a stopwatch to measure the time from vaginal penetration to ejaculation.

The results:

Lasting time increased to two minutes or more for 55 percent of the men who got the spray and 35 percent of the men who got the placebo.
Lasting time increased to three minutes or more for 40 percent of the men who got the spray and 13 percent of the men who got the placebo.
Lasting time increased to four minutes or more for 20 percent of the men who got the spray and 13 percent of the men who got the placebo.
On average, men who got the spray lasted 2.4 times longer than those who got the placebo.

Premature ejaculation isn't defined by a specific time until ejaculation. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV (DSM-IV), premature ejaculation is "persistent or recurrent ejaculation with minimal sexual stimulation before, on, or shortly after penetration and before the person wishes it."

About 70 percent of men who used the spray and just under 50 percent of the men who used the placebo said they had longer time to ejaculation.

About 60 percent of the female partners of men who used the spray, and about 30 percent of the partners of the men who used the placebo, said the men had better control over their ejaculation.

The spray is called TEMPE topical eutectic mixture for premature ejaculation by manufacturer Plethora Solutions Ltd. London, which funded the study. It is not yet available on the market.

"TEMPE 'as required' has the potential to offer a convenient, novel treatment option for men with premature ejaculation," conclude researchers Wallace C. Dinsmore, M.D., of Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast, Northern Ireland, and colleagues.

The spray had few side effects.

Four of the 26 men who used TEMPE did report side effects. Three had numbness of the penis, and one reported erectile dysfunction.

Only one of the men's sex partners reported a side effect: a mild burning sensation during intercourse.

Emla, from AstraZeneca, is also a mixture of lidocaine and prilocaine. It comes in a cream formulation and must be used with a condom. TEMPE does not require condom use.

The study appears in the February issue of the urology journal BJU International.

Journal Journal: Telephone post fix dial code.

Currently, in America (USA USA USA we are number 1!), telephone numbers are 10 digits. If they would allow you to append a phone code you could allow deny calls based on that.

There could be universal codes. For example, my silent call idea could be implemented with this.

888-555-1234 444 (Calls the person, but disables the ringer.)
888-555-1234 111 (Calls the person, and goes stright to v-mail.)
888-555-1234 666 (Calls the person, and turns on the vibrator ;-)

  No code could foce them stright to voice mail.
