Lateral thinking sure sounds like out of the box(though I think like that all the time and didnt really knew the word for it). Thanx for the nice link as well, I went through the questions and found the lighthouse one particularly amazing.

I guess people might have been using cloth or paper or tree bark or maybe just water and hands.

It would be better if you start taking backup of all data from this point onwards coz you never know when your hard drive may give up on you. Increased noises while operating are a sign that the hard drive is degenerating and ideally requires backup. Now it doesnt mean that drives that dont make any noise are perfect as I have seen reasonably silent hard drives crashing up as well.

I like both Rock and Rap however when it comes to deciding which one of them is better I got to say Rock. Rap doesnt necessarily mean talking fast over a catchy tune rather it requires a great skill that few can master. Rock on the other hand is evergreen and soothes your ears virtually anytime and suits any particular mood. I love Linkin park and Metallica.

Excessive obsession about anything is always bad. As for you, it seems you are obsessed by death and things related to it. There is one thing you should understand that Death would get you anytime when it feels like and noone can change it. Now this means that we all die when our time comes > No sooner and no later. So its almost useless to keep yourself obsessed about something that you cant even control. Once again in other words, Stop thinking about dying or negative things and take on a positive attitude towards life. There are millions of people who live in worse condition than us and their only wish is to keep living and nothing more. Think about what you can achieve not what you can lose. As for me I am afraid of losing my pets but that doesnt mean that I keep on thinking about them dying all the time. Join a gym or something, stay healthy and fit, work hard all week long and party harder every weekend that has been my motto all the way and you can try it too. Cheers.

I am totally in favor of the worst possible death penalty for Saddam hussein after witnessing along with the whole world the hellish deeds he has done. As I understand people like Saddam hussein arent normal i.e; they are mentally inconsistent and thats why the dreams of world domination and the tendency to hurt others. Saddam should be hanged until dead or shooted or whatever however all of this should be televised and shown worldwide thereby creating a hope of nipping another saddam right in the bud.

Yeah career choices sure affect people's lifestyle coz its the choices and chances that affect our life more than anything else. Some students are more likely to get themselves engaged in a luxurious(not to mean moneywise, its the care less and enjoy more attitude ) lifestyle and this is bound to negate their aspect of a healthy life.

This is really creepy and might scare the hell out of small kids or people with delicate mental conditions or even just plain sensitive people. I know that it cant be true for sure because cloning or artificial life doesnt come cheep and requires a whole lot of research and funding which further implies that this has to be a joke. Maybe in the next 20 to 30 years these kind of toys might become a reality but as if now it rather seems like a far fetched idea and insists me to take out my shotgun and start shooting every one of them I might come across.

Rockstar develops really cool games I must say. I have been playing their games right from the beginning starting from Max payne. Then we got Max payne 2 and then came the legendary Grand Theft Auto series. I would be looking forward to play this game and am gonna start searching for the minimum system requirements.(I dont have blu ray disk system)

The words that keep me going on are :1. The bad thing about good things is that they come to an end and the good thing about bad things is that they also come to an end.2. I may be going through a bad day at the moment but there would be millions others at the same moment who would give anything just to be in my situation and in my shoes(coz I am in a much better position than them) 3. And who could forget, "Miles to go before I sleep"

It must have been terribly sad for you. I have two dogs and dont even wanna think of their day to come. I guess I would take it as it comes and would be extremely devastated.

Selfishness has been implanted deep within our subconscious minds as an essential tool for survival, In nutshell selfishness could be acceptable up to some extent however beyond a certain limit it starts affecting people around you in a negative way.

Whoa, If they are racing for the fastest one first then how come they always take more than 20 minutes or so which definately is not required. I think I might have a clue that could explain why they go in groups as well. I guess they hold kind of small events in bathrooms and the rest of the girls are there to keep scores and also to get inspiration for their own upcoming events.

I agree with changeyourmind and I would also pay 5$ to Google rather than any other service provider. At the moment I dont think that I would pay a single buck to em coz there is no need for it as all other search engines are free however if they all start charging a fee than I guess Google would still be my choice.

I search from anything to everything in Google. I havent set it as my homepage though but who cares coz google is just a click away all the time with its fast and simple interface. When it comes to think of what I search in google more than often than I would say its new technologies and s/wares and how to use em.

nyah Google aint evil, its just plain huge. Moreover Google cant afford to be deemed evil as its not microsoft. The point is that Google till this day is more of a convenience rather than a necessity(Microsoft very well is) and hence we conclude that Google may seem menacing or even intimidating to a few but its here to stay and grow.

As I understand the situation about 'Global warming' it naturally strikes my mind that it would be extremely hard or almost impossible to take any working measures against global warming so it is very much possible that Yes the temperature might get as high as 5 degrees from now. As for the nuclear weapons, they are not going to be the property of the previleged as they are now. With the development of technology the synthesising of nuke matter would become relatively cheaper and thus almost all of the nations would join the race of creating their own stock pile. The only possible resolution would be to have strong leaders with clear viewpoints, and strong respect for mankind.

Eating meat may be wrong on Moral grounds but has been a key point in our survival through centuries. The animals should be treated more humanely and shouldnt be tortured. Many of the diseases people get from eating meat is just because of the filthy living conditions of the meat animals and the stress they experience when they are in slaughterhouses(prior to them being killed. If we treat animals a bit more humanely and make the slaughter techniques better(painless is the key word it would also help us indirectly as the meat would be healthier.

Nah It doesnt seem Orkut has become Open to general public, though I have heard similar things too. Anyways its not too hard to get an Orkut invitation. If anyone wants Orkut invitation just PM me.

Here's what you can do, Ask your parents for help with the light if you cant do it yourself. Create a different profile on the computer for your brother. decide a time slot for him to use the computer. Password protect your own Important files. The more you try to restrict your brother the more he would try to breaak the rules. So, loosen the rules a bit and make him understand the importance of following em.

I dont think there is much of a possibility that this engine would beat Google just coz the Google people have the best resources and they can beat anyone they want. And yeah if this engine starts generating good enough profits then it would be bought over by Google.

Removing the religion altogether from our world may not actually be the smartest Idea. I have my own doubts about it such as, we all have been following some sort of religion right from the dawn of mankind. So removing religion might prove fatal shot for an already crumbling society. The thing that SHOULD be removed is fanaticism(I hope everybody understands what I am indicating) No religion is Bad and asks its followers to kill innocent people. Its the misinterpretations of the fanatic leaders that is killing the essense of a few religions this day. I pray for world peace and brotherhood among all. (even if it requires elimination of religion)

I have read about converting gmail space into storage medium before but am unsure what the maximum file size could be. Until now what I have come to know is that the max upload is 10 mb which could be inadequate sometimes. I guess if there could be way of increasing the upload size it would be great.

I read the article but am a bit confused. Arent the satellites they send 'Geostationery' which in laymen's term means a Satellite would be fixed in perspective with a location on Earth. Now that leads to this question > does US demand no space missions or satellites to be launched by any other nation but them? if that is so then it might take us back into dark ages of technology. Space should never be a monopoly of one nation. I agree with the fact that there should be some kind of a central agency which keeps a strict eye on all the space ventures(defense or otherwise) of all the countries.

I must say that it is indeed a delicious idea. But again even I am confused as cookies are solid so how do you inject icecream in them? How do you make hollow cookies? I got to make sure to try my hands on the first one when I come across it.
