This is one of the coolest applications I've met in a long time. It's a single executable. Download it, double-click it, assign yourself a username/password, click 'start server.' Then from any modern browser in the world, you can go to the correct IP address and view the desktop, mouse control included. Add a phone call and this is the easiest way to do remote tech support. This kind of software has been around for years, but now it RUNS IN YOUR BROWSER as easy as pi.

While the engineers were designing this protocol, they decided to throw in a few more “special purpose” tone groups. You don’t normally see these extra four buttons on telephones, but they are alive and being employed for communications signaling. For lack of imagination, the engineers called the four extra digits “A B C D”. These all use the same row frequencies as a standard keypad, but they have an additional column tone.

Occam's Razor says that defying gravity should not need to be so complicated, and you can see it defying inertia if you watch it closely near the beginning and end and about 60-72 percent of the way in. What fascinates me is how complicated a movement, involving at least 3 bodies, is operating at the crux of this video.

More than just an intrusive molecule that foils communication, HIF-1 normally switches on when the body is deprived of oxygen. Otherwise, it remains silent.

Actually, not funny. Likely quite serious, you gotta give a little creative license to people who've obviously been through a lot.

I've since realized that my site draws such little traffic I needn't worry.

So basically giving stuff away for free inclines people to advertising for you via word of mouth
"Related to these findings on motivation and incomplete contracts, it has also been shown that when prices are mentioned, people apply market norms, but when prices are not mentioned i.e., the price effectively is zero, they apply social norms to determine their choices and effort (Heyman and Ariely 2004)."
