It was lost in the woods for a few day. I have to admit, that would be a VERY strange site to randomly see. You are out in the woods for one reason or an other and behind some bushes you see a fork handle at shin level moving towards you! Then, it comes around from cover and its a chihuahua with a fork in it, who scampers away. Truely a WTF moment (if only someone saw it).
I kind of get the impression that, in spite of her explaination, this really was an act that grew out of a self-esteem issue through the medium of 'art'. Its like she's yelling "i'm so sexy! don't you agree?! men eat off my likeness!!!!"
I don't think he thinks to much. I just think he stated something obvious, but inserted an unneeded cynicsm.. Doing a good deed does make someone feel good. But we still call that altruism (even though we get the 'benefit' of feeling good). Its no less altruist if your only 'reward' is being happy that you did a good deed (thus going back to the 'a good deed is its own reward' thing).
Pay it Porward was exponential (you do three good deeds when you receive one), and this seems linear (one for one, based on the 'value' of the good dead).
As for 'making sure that a good deed IS it's own reward', no this isn't that. The point of that axiom is that doing the good deed is itself a reward to the do, not that they will be 'rewarded' in some way in the future. For this site, you'd have to modify the sayign to say something like "A good deed deserves another." or somthing like that.
Seriously, it's not the brain getting hacked, its the device that interfaces with the brain. So, the worst that could happen would be the limits of what the device could do to the brain. Weird sensory input would probably be the height of it, and that would only be if the hardware wasn't manufactured so that the max-output of such things were kept at a safe level.
People wouldn't be able to 'hack' your memories, personalitiy, etc. But depending on how much 'input' the device has to your mind, it might be able to do some unpleasent things.
Think of it like someone hacking your computer. They have aceess to the device your eyes interact with (the monitor), but not your eyes themselves.
I am mildy allergic to my own mucus. As you can imagine, the body's reaction to being alergic to something is to produce mucus. So, I'm almost always partially congested. yay!
Having to 'accept an agreement' to view their twitter is so completely stupid. Can they just come out and say that? Doesn't that contradict twitter's terms of use? (which is, if you sign up and twitter things, the content you twitter falls under whatever twitter's rules for it is).
I didn't know bible quotes workes as weatherproofing! Thats much more affordable than normal means.

What a bizare and specific thing to wonder. I can honestly say I never have.
No.
Anyhow, amazing work. But... castles don't have ferris wheels (excepts for ones in amusement parks).
