The answer he's looking for is probably this: 1. Label the switches A, B, and C. 2. Turn on switch A for about five minutes, then turn it off. 3. Turn on switch B. 4. Go into the other room. Look at three lights. One of them is on, this …

[QUOTE=sneekula;511670]Wasn't the information superhighway a brainchild of Al Gore? Rest stops must be environmentally unfriendly to him.[/QUOTE] Of course they are.

In reference to WaltP's little 'history of computing' entry: Some of the stuff I've seen about earlyish Microsoft development indicates an interesting name for one of their products...a name (and product; haven't checked it for myself yet) that, if true, marks the beginning of a great Microsoft tradition that continues …

[QUOTE=vmanes;537412]If "pro" and "con" are opposites, what's the opposite of "progress"?[/QUOTE] Exactly how are you defining 'Progress' here? I know of one definition for it, but I know of a derived word which seems to indicate something else.

Better at what? Better for whom? If you're purely concerned with effeciency, a dictatorship is better. No mess about 'elections' or 'voting on the issues' or anything like that, just 'Because I, Dictator N, said DO IT!'. If you're concerned about value of life, that depends on a couple of …

I have a question related to the issue, although it's not quite on-topic. I've seen stuff online for programs that look interesting, but aren't released in the United States. One of these that especially caught my interest was released only in Japan, and I don't know any Japanese. There are …

@Dave Sinkula Just read the cato.org article. Very interesting. One quick question: The study mentioned the EPA classed second-hand smoke as a 'Group A Carcinogin'.
