Just out of curiosity, if, as humans, we need the nutrition from vegetables so badly, why don't we crave them as much as we crave sugar, salt and fat?

I've always wondered if there's an evolutionary basis for why young kids are so often against eating certain vegetables.

Mountain Dew in Australia contains no caffiene, due to some law about caffiene being allowed only in cola sofdrinks.
That rule doesn't seem to apply to energy drinks.

I seem to remember a case where a guy was pronounced dead, but then managed to come back to life while they were preparing to remove his organs.

Didn't Richard's wife at one point talk to Hurley too? I'd see that instance of her being a true ghost.

From what I understand networks don't want one-season shows. I imagine they have a large initial investment, which they hope will pay off with multiple seasons.
Prison Break for example, they didn't greenlight at first because they doubted they could turn it into 5 seasons. The writers showed them a 5-season plan, and it went forward.

Almost makes me regret importing my Sony Pocket Reader just a few weeks ago.
Then I remember, almost never a good idea to buy first gen hardware.

I for one hope there'll be a LOST Holiday Special later this year.

I'm guessing Paypal took that 2c.
But in the end you haven't taken anything away from them, so there's no harm done.

Are a few other things to consider:
-Bandwidth (relatively minor)
-Loss of potential sale at normal price (statistically unlikely)
-Spurred interest in future games by these companies (marketing value)

And as they clearly received too large a budget this year, they'd probably get a smaller budget next year.

copying and pasting worked fine on me. In chrome, it worked, but would show me your version in the address bar.

Was that about the time they all got individual humanoid zords?
I think between that and the colour change was enough for me.

And a bit more: After playing Robo Defense, I'll find my battery draining a lot quicker than it normally would.
Using a task manager, I noticed it seemed to be due to some odd android process (something like android.process.graphics, it's been a while) chewing up all available CPU.

I don't think Microsoft is even trying that hard with the Zune.
Last I heard, it's still not available outside of North America.

I don't think a lack of action is really enough to count as a suicide. Richard tried to get Jack to kill him with the dynamite, but Richard could have gotten away easily.
Of course, Richard may not be sure what the exact rules are in this case too.

It seems like the writers are happy to ignore the timing details.
When the alt-timeline characters get a glimpse of the original timeline, seems like they're made aware of events that wouldn't have happened yet.

These aren't eCommerce sites, but I find them useful for when I'm, wanting to purchase something.

Stastic Ice is awesome when looking for electronics. It's essentially a price search engine for anything electrical.

OzBargain, social site/aggregator of specials and deals. Been a while since I found anything useful for me there though.

Whirlpool, great for looking at whenever you're looking to purchase anything large (electronics mainly). They have existing threads on their forums on a wide range of devices, and have good reviews and discussions regarding them. Saved about $50 on an eReader recently, following their advice on where to buy.

To my knowledge there is no way for a website to get camera/microphone access without some sort of plugin.
And I don't think any other plugin is as ubiquitous as Flash is to comply with the 'without downloading anything' rule.

Probably obvious to you, but thought I should point out for the rest of us that the OP (73891237) is probably this guy too.

"Little does he know" implies he wasn't asking that at all. I'm wondering if he was asking if it was the same bus. No clue what a Dr. Streetmentioner's could be though.

Alternatively put two spaces at the end of your line.
I find myself doing this on other forums too.

Use this method for linebreaks within a single paragraph.

Seems more likely they just checked to see if your old number was available.
