^^^thanx
a tv commercial blocker that automatically switches channels or mutes the audio [in the absence of alternate channels not showing commercials also], that doesn't require a special kind of cable box or subscription, it consists of a modified remote control/add-on that senses the volume change/light level change after the pause, then does its work.

^^^how do diseases "teach" us?

Because if we had the ability to eradicate a disease the second it appeared, how would we know why it had manifested? And if we started eradicating every disease off the planet from humans, how would we be able to determine our limitations?

It just doesn't seem right to me to do that.

You could have sex with anyone you liked as often as you liked without fear of STD's. You could smoke 100 fags a day without worrying about lung cancer. People will end up living much longer lives and that sounds like a massive financial strain on governments and even more environmental strain on the planet ect

It's a nice idea, but not one without long-term consequences

A device that blocks those horrible animal cruelty ads from the ASPCA-I can't stand to watch them. Just muting them isn't enough. I have to change the channel to something else.

But to add, i also really really want showers to come with built in body driers. It takes far too long getting dry after a shower.

Yes! It takes too long, and in the summer I'm then as sweaty and sticky as I was before I showered, and in winter, it gets ice cold

I concur not only about those evil ads, but also for a device that blocks anything similar.

A device similar to the memory-wipe device seen in the "Men In Black" films if you want someone to forget about you.

Wear sunglasses beforehand.

Hold up the device to the person's face with the device facing forward.

Say something before activating the device.

quadraphonic or even quintophonic audio CDs, they actually were invented but never put into product form.

for those of us who better appreciated canned music in multichannel form/surround sound, it would give us more of a musical experience "in the round" as it were. there is also another format called SACD which has up to 6 channels of sound, but it has not caught on due to poor marketing, a squandered opportunity. back to CDs- in the original standard as a subcategory of Redbook Audio CD encoding, was an allowance for quad or 4 channel sound, but that would have reduced maximum playing time to roughly 39 minutes and 26 seconds, which was judged inadequate for some uninterrupted classical works very important to Sony, namely Beethoven's 9th. so Sony prevailed upon its partner Phillips to stick with the 2-channel stereo format.
