20th Finger biography, 20th Finger discography
The first written record of the insult occurred in ancient Greece, where the playwright Aristophanes (the Adam Sandler of his day) made a crude joke mixing up the middle finger and the penis.Instead of using a real penis, civilized Janes and Platos called upon the substitute wieners within their own hands to mock, threaten, and humiliate opponents.When the Romans imported the art, music, and culture of the Greeks, the finger came along, too.One of his subjects, Cassius, who Caligula often taunted as being too effeminate, finally had enough humiliation and assassinated him.Clearly, the bird was not to be taken lightly.During the Middle Ages, the finger went underground.It was still known, but the Catholic Church frowned upon its use, as the middle finger was supposed to be holy in the Mass.Radbourn slipped his little finger fastball into the Boston Beaneaters team picture.Americans everywhere quickly got into the act.America, the finger was the one symbol every man, woman and dog could understand.Check out THIS horizon line, baby!Throughout the 20th century, the finger has penetrated all levels of society.Roughhewn farmers did it, hippies did it, and even the Vice President of the United States got into the act.Never one to back down, Rocky just flipped it right back.The Old Testament contains several warnings about the evil of the digits.In 1644, John Bulwer wrote Chirologica: of the Naturall Language of the Hande as a guide to common hand signals for the deaf.The finger, or convicium facio (meaning, I provoke an argument) was a "natural expression of scorn and contempt."At the dawn of a new millennium, we can rest assured this once endangered bird is thriving.Astronomer Galileo's meticulously preserved middle finger can be seen today in Italy's Museo di Storia del Scienza.Isn't it fitting that Galileo is still giving 'the finger' to all those who doubted his proofs of Copernicus' theory that the sun was the center of the galaxy?"Please enter valid search phrase (minimum 3 characters)."Most are not obvious figures or symbols but, rather, appear to many observers as enigmatic lines.Generally they are made in a substance called moonmilk.Examples
2 Study methods
2.Part of a 400 sq m panel.Flutings at the start of the 150 sq m Desbordes Panel, Chamber A1, Rouffignac Cave, France.Study methods
Bednarik continues to publish sites that contain flutings, but current forward research into finger flutings is mainly being carried out by Kevin Sharpe and Leslie Van Gelder.They have developed the following methods for this purpose.Internal analysis
In terms of the field methodology, having become familiar with a cluster, an Internal Analysis of it is carried out, specially noting the directions of the flutings and their overlays.These appear distinctively different from one another and from the marks of the other fingers.Further, consistency of widths and profiles, and perhaps some other features among units suggest the same person fluted them.French caves of Rouffignac, in the Dordogne, and Gargas in the Hautes Pyrenees.The corpus of Paleolithic flutings is too complex to fit into a single meaning paradigm.Investigators bring to their study and tie their methods to preconceived notions as to what is meaningful, what constitutes a pattern, and what they think is the origin of fluting making.That need not stop people responsibly offering meaning or intentionality hypotheses, Sharpe and Van Gelder state.Tracings of hands and finger flutings often show the dimensions of children.Research challenges
Future research into finger flutings will continue the introduction of new sites and the application of the above methods to their study.Selected bibliography

The particular advantage of this technique is that unstopped notes can be pitch shifted (bent).Variations
Several strings can be bent at once.Problems listening to the file?All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License.ID + " : " + "Post"
s_265.Apple
also plans to eventually throw out numeric function keys as a result.Now if they incorporated the lcd screens into their keyboard....Feb 20th 2006 11:23AMI hope this rumor is false.But it does seem that Apple is moving in this direction.If you are going to generate a rumor, at least make it as much "Apple" as you can.The rendering is inaccurate ( the speakers are off) and again, that font.Seriously though, not in the next 5 years.They haven't even added the second button to the laptops yet!Feb 20th 2006 11:55AMI just checked the crystal ball over here and I saw what looked like an LCD keybord, one that could have a US std.Here is a link to the main one.The same website has the others as well.It would be something really cool, especially with multitasking on a laptop with limited space.Also, if you wanted to jot down a quick note or something, you could use a stylus."Macbook Pro"this one just looks like another meaningless rumor.Feb 20th 2006 1:05PMToshiba had a lcd touchpad on their Satellite 5105 back in 2002...Feb 20th 2006 1:22PMapple just seems to be loading up the macBook with so many extra hardware features.Feb 20th 2006 1:37PMSpeaking of the Optimus, it's late February and we have yet to hear anything else from them.Feb 20th 2006 2:41PMhahah MacBookPro DS.....I'm a proud owner of the Toshiba Satellite 5105 with the cPad, still works great, 1600x1200 15" screen, she's still a beaute.The 5105 can also play CDs without booting up, just pop a CD in and press Play (it also has media functions on the front) such a nice laptop.Highres, cPad, CD playing without booting into windows, years before anything similar was used in other brands.Toshiba was an innovater with this sucker, I still use it on a daily basis.That little paragraph you got there sounds like it rolled right out of a marketing dweeb's mouth, adjusted for generation gap.Feb 20th 2006 8:16PMAll this guy did was to draw up the idea I had posted in the Whirlpool forums 1 day before.And why doesn't Apple just buy Optimus and be done with it?Feb 21st 2006 11:01AMCalm yourselves.This is no different than putting the touch screen from a PDA where the touchpad might be.Feb 21st 2006 11:13AMApple DS?!Feb 21st 2006 12:49PMWell the only thing that I find amusing and potentially true about this is that Steve Jobs HATES Fucntion keys."The Second Coming of Steve Jobs" that once some one asked Steve to sign a keyboard that was Post Jobsian and he actually pried off the function keys before he would.What is Coming is the True Apple Branded iPod iPhone or iPDA (iNewton?Mobile, and poosibly even as cheap as Sprint).It's either this, or an Intel mac mini with DVR functionality and improved FrontRow interfacem to includde a good HD Digital TV Tuner."Comment has been reported for review.Email addresses are never displayed, but they are required to confirm your comments.When you enter your name and email address, you'll be sent a link to confirm your comment, and a password.You can put up to 3 URLs in your comments.Open access: everything you wanted to know but were afraid to askSwitched On: PopCatcher teaches a new 'Pod old tricks (Part 1)Movie Gadget Friday: The Adventures of Buckaroo BanzaiHow would you change Amazon's Kindle?Motorola Z12 in the wild?See it all at StartDoingMore.Midwest, other areas (192)Linus Torvalds calls Apple's file system "utter crap" (183)Toshiba's Super Bowl 2008 ad: the final act of desperation?Fourth undersea cable cut near UAE, suspicions rise (144)Poll: What do you call a combined Yahoo!
