And more in patents then science.. but still: cnet - Futuristic Handcuffs Would Administer Shocks and Drugs/It did, until everyone had a camera in their cellphone....I have to say, I think a Good Day to Die Hard has to rate as the worst of the Die Hard movies so far. I mean, the opening and what turns into a half-hour extended chase sequence through Moscow traffic before the plot really gets rolling. A couple of over-noisy mass gunfights that pull along with fragments of angsty father-son dynamic. I mean, I know part of the Die Hard idea is John McClane in a certain "fish out of water" experience usually. Cynical Cop in a White Collar High Rise building, Cynical cop stuck on an airport, cynical cop being run-around by a mastermind, cynical cop struggling with the digital age... But cynical cop stuck in Moscow with a secret agent son just doesn't seem to get the traction. They don't seem to push the one-liners that provided some amusement, and (to potentially spoil it), they can't seem to make up their mind on who the villain is. And even then, it just..there is no real villainous presence to banter again. What's a Die Hard film without McClane vs Villain banter?Note : Technically that bear does have a skin condition which caused the fur to fall out. No-one was crazy enough to actually shave it.. On to funnier things -I left 3 notes scattered around the house earlier for my girlfriend. They said "Will", "you" and "me". That'll keep her busy whilst I watch tv."It goes to show, PR is everything. Just imagine if Sharks had had a Flipper instead of a Jaws....Recently Treehugger produced a 10 Reasons Dolphins Are Awesome Which was soon rebutted by Deep Sea News listing of 10 Reasons Why Dolphins Are **** So I shall present both lists, and let you decide..There was that old joke that used to run around about Nato forces and the different attitudes/training of the various groups involved at any one point. Ran something along the lines of "The worst mixed unit in Nato has a nurse from germany, a cook from england, a quartermaster from italy, a french engineer and an american officer. The best unit has a nurse from italy, a cook from france, a quartermaster from america, a german engineer and an english officer."So something I stumbled across the other day, and I was curious. How many of you folks know about it? Anyone tried it yet? http://bitcoin.org/
