"Bank of England notes are not legal tender in Scotland or Northern Ireland" (and vice versa) ... Yet Euro notes and coins from anywhere in the Eurozone are legal tender everywhere in the Eurozone. Crazy banks in Great Britain.
- Nils Sandin
yes, though just to be clear, Bank of England notes can be used in practice, so its more of a technicality. The problem arises from the fact that we have never really gotten the balance centralised v devolved power right (still a problem)

'Bic for Her' Pens Deluged With Sarcastic Reviews on Amazon | Adweek - http://www.adweek.com/adfreak...
Morton Fox, Heather, Anne Bouey and 24 other people liked this
"The sarcastically adoring Amazon.com review is a time-honored bit of anti-consumerism dating back to the Three Wolf Moon T-shirt and surely further than that. Now, it's Bic's turn to get savaged, as women (and some men) are flooding the Amazon.co.uk product page for "Bic for Her" pens with comically reverent five-star reviews, and some just-as-funny one-star ones. The pens—which are described right there in the technical specs as being "designed to fit comfortably in a woman's hand" with an "attractive barrel design available in pink and purple"—have been around for a while, but this wave of backlash is just gathering steam. Check out some of the reviews below."

"When I saw these I just had to have them, so I asked my Husband to buy them for me. He refused, as he said that owning a pen might make me Think, and then have Ideas Of My Own. Then I might start to Write, which would take time away from my wifely duties such as Cooking, Cleaning, and Bearing Children. Of course he was Absolutely Right, none of these tasks require a pen, and so I have to give these one star."

*snerk* From the US Amazon site: "Someone has answered my gentle prayers and FINALLY designed a pen that I can use all month long!

So if there were a button you could press, and it would undo all of civilization -- not actually hurt anyone, but just rewind back to the stone age, or maybe change the crucial moment that man began agriculture -- would you do it? Consider it? Would anything change your answer, like global warming getting much worse?

The problem is there isn't a single point at which you can change something that big. Something like agriculture was a multi stage thing over many regions. It's like throwing a pebble in the river...

Actually, life expectancy wouldn't change as much as you think, according to what I've read. The average lifespan was shorter in the stone age due to infant mortality, but those who survived to adulthood probably had lifespans similar to westerners today (so lifespan for most of humanity is still shorter now than in the stone age). Infectious disease became much, much more prevalent...

"probably had lifespans similar to westerners today" -- well, if by that you mean 60s ish. I'm fairly sure American life expectancy at 18 (how long people who made it to 18 could expect to live in total) has risen by over a decade in just the last century. Can't find figures right now, best I can do is that life expectancy at 50 has risen 3.9 years in just the 26 years between 1980 and 2006. http://news.discovery.com/human...

No, I wouldn't. Despite all the problems it may have led to, the start of modern agriculture has allowed us to radiate and thrive around the world.

My issues aren't with agriculture, it might have been a cause, but it's not the issue that bothers me. I have a bigger issue with urbanization and overpopulation (density > 1000 people per sq. mi.) of tiny areas, which is a side effect. There is efficiency at such a scale, as well as inefficiency created by it, and it increases the costs related to risk. It is one thing allowed by agricultural development, but they are separate issues. So no, I wouldn't undo all of civilization.

Canton LOVES people with a vengeance. I went and saw them later in the day. They are all doing well, enjoying their new friends. Though I think some of the others are a bit overwhelmed by how much energy our three have (mostly Hero and Higgens - and you heard me right, they have more energy than the 6 other kittens in the room) But Canton loves people so much he can't contain himself when someone comes in.

American Tower, about a kilometer from Concordia Station, stands about 40 meters (130 feet) tall, with 25 levels up to its summit. On many of the levels, there are scientific instruments that require regular maintenance. With open sides and fierce winds, you need to fix yourself with a harness to a central rope to reach them.

"So, depending on how much flesh clings to the skin of your tomatoes when you peel them and how much you reduce your stock, I’d estimate you will get 1 pint of finished sauce for every 6 to 9 pounds of canning tomatoes you peel and core. This is a great way to eek as much possible goodness out of your harvest or hard-purchased tomatoes. From 90 total pounds of raw canning tomatoes, using this method to recapture sauce from the skins led to a total amount of composted waste of less than 3-and-a-quarter pounds. That’s a processing loss rate of about 3.5% which is, in my opinion, excellent."

Bret, I accidently just received an email with previous recommendations. I had already viewed them through the web-interface. But indeed, it's there. Email looks good too, as I expected of course. :)

hey Robert Scoble....I have a trade proposal....you send my name to all your friends...i send your name to all of my friends for the rest of my life....
- Bob DeMarco
I would like that deal, too, Scoble. I like this a lot.
- Ben Hanten
Bob: I charge $1 per friend. :-) just kidding, but the UI makes it so hard to send you to more than a few people.

Bret: You guys rock! This is so much better than FollowFriday, which I recommended just a while back. Now, I'm waiting for some recommendation emails! :)

If there’s something about friends and family not having their account set up properly, I’d prefer a way to recommend them the streams they forgot to add. For example, I could tell them “You forgot to add your Digg stream and your fourth and eight blog. Here’s the link.” Then he could just click the recommendation and had it set up easily.

Definitely better than #followfriday.

As I have lots of subscriptions the pop-up window is *really* slow and always has been since the new UI (same thing for amending friends lists). :-( I like the feature though, so I could make a new friends list of my most recommended users and use that each time for each user?

"Scientists and birdwatchers have discovered 10 new owl species in the Philippines, using advanced recording equipment that can distinguish between their hoots, a conservation official said. Eight of the new species were previously considered sub-species while two are totally new, said Lisa Paguntalan, field director of Philippines Biodiversity Conservation Programme."

US Air Force testing Mach 6 aircraft - http://www.independent.co.uk/news...

"The U.S. Air Force plans a key test of an experimental aircraft designed to fly at six times the speed of sound, or about 3,600 mph (5,800 kph). The aircraft is intended to allow the Pentagon to deliver strikes around the globe within minutes. The Los Angeles Times reports the unmanned X-51 WaveRider is expected to reach Mach 6when it's dropped by a B-52 bomber and takes flight off the California coast. Engineers hope it sustains its top speed for 300 seconds, twice as long as it's gone before. In its most recent test last year, the Boeing-designed X-51 fell for about four seconds before its booster rocket ignited, but the aircraft failed to separate from the rocket and plunged into the ocean."

I for one will sleep better in my bed knowing the US government can bomb the crap out of people across the globe at Mach 6, rather than at more pedestrian speeds. Or not.

:-) But from a technological and aerodynamic point of view this is pretty advanced.
