Only real place to get real pizza. I don't know if it's the water, the pollution, a placebo effect, or something else entirely, but c'mon. You can't beat real New York pizza.

Failing that, try to find a small local store. They're usually much much better than the chains. Sorry, but Domino's, Pizza Hut and the like are NOT real pizza.

From a displaced and hungry New Yorker temporarily living in Florida...oddly enough the best pizza down here is from a small independent restaurant (Pomodoro's on 39th in Gainesville, FL if you're in the area) started by New Yorkers who moved down here years ago, apparently frustrated by the lack of edible Italian-American delicacies.

Nonsense, I don't have to look at my keyboard, with or without tactical feedback.

Rather than relying on boring old touch or sight, I have a scent-feedback keyboard. The technology is way too advanced for most of you touchy-feely types to grasp, but simply put, each key on the keyboard has a different smell, related to whatever letter (or symbol or function) that particular key is.

Of course, sometimes outside or when you have a fan running in the room, the air currents can throw off locating where exactly each smell is coming from, but it does often create some interesting mixtures of scents.

I think a particular medium that shows alot of innovation when it comes to science fiction is anime.

Neon Genesis Evangelion, Serial Experiments Lain, .hack, the Macross series....there's alot of good sci-fi anime. (And no, not all of it is giant-robot based.)

I, in particular, recommend Makoto Shinkai's "Voices of a Distant Star". It's a short film but it's very futuristic and spacey, and the science is actually pretty accurate. It's main premise is the effect that long-distance (interstellar) communication in space has on human relationships. In that effect it's a bit romance-y too, but with a science fiction setting. Might be a little too mushy for some people but it does have a profound effect on most people who watch it.

Big Breasted Women More Intelligent->

Submitted by Aokisensei
Aokisensei writes "Contrary to the popular stereotype, new research suggests that women with larger breasts are more intelligent than their less well-endowed counterparts. The researcher, a Chicago-based sociologist (who herself confessed to being an A-cup), conducted a study in which a sample of 1,200 women were divided by breast size into five categories: extra-large, large, medium, small, and extra-small. An I.Q. test was then administered to the participants. The results? Women in the large and extra-large categories scored an average of 10 points more than the women in the smaller categories, also beating medium sized women."

So this white space is "unlicensed"? Completely? What, if any restrictions are there on usage of it? Is it at all possible in the foreseeable future that there will be consumer-level devices for this type of frequency? Like routers and other networking equipment, or is this really more for just companies to provide service? Also, what kind of range can you expect on this band at 'normal' power levels?
