CD Players: Anti Skip Protection - Straight Dope
https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cd-players-anti-skip-protection/95613
Nov 27, 2001 · In portable CD players, exactly how is it that the Anti-Skip Protection, (or Electronic Shock Protection, or G-Protection) works? My current hypothesis is that it records the allotted time (Anywhere from Ten to Forty Five seconds worth) of a song, and is able to detect when the laser skips the CD. As a side note, Sony boasts their G-Protection as working even better…Does anyone have any clue ...
Pens-on-the-table ritual at Princeton - Straight Dope
https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pens-on-the-table-ritual-at-princeton/124543
Aug 19, 2002 · I just saw A Beautiful Mind for the second time, and the part about honoring an academician by placing your pen in front of him wasn’t fully explained. Someone who has achieved high distinction in his field is sitting at a table in the faculty dining hall at Princeton, and one by one, other faculty approach with great deference and line up their pens in front of him. They say things like ...

What did Vicky Lawrence say?? - Cafe Society - Straight Dope
https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-did-vicky-lawrence-say/66077
May 21, 2001 · I was watching that Blooper show last night and once again saw the “classic” scene from the Carol Burnett show. Tim Conway had broken up the cast by going on about a pair of Siamese elephants. When Carol tries to get the skit back on track Vicky Lawrence says "Did you “BEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!” which breaks up the cast and audience to the extreme. I didn’t think it was terribly funny but ...
The most difficult liscense plate to remember - Straight Dope
https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-most-difficult-liscense-plate-to-remember/168935
Apr 15, 2003 · Say I wanted to be a thief, but still have my car legally registered. I would want the plate (seven letters) to be the most difficult to remember. No vanity plates. Actually, I saw a plate the other day that I had a hard time even reading. It was something like, MIWNVNM. That`s what got me thinking about this, not the thief part. What would be the hardest plate to memorize? (Mods, if this is ...

Apr 24, 2002 · 'Salem’s Lot is set in Jerusalem’s Lot, Maine. The other abandoned town mentioned is Momson, Vermont. I have no idea if that town exists or not. Just for the record, the short story Jerusalem’s Lot involves De Vermis Mysteriis, not the Necronomicon. The town in the short story isn’t necessarily a past version of the one in the novel, either.
English Public Schools and Buggering - Straight Dope
https://boards.straightdope.com/t/english-public-schools-and-buggering/97075
Dec 5, 2001 · Perhaps it’s not so much a tradition (except at Cambridge), it’s more of a widely held view. I didn’t attend a public school but I did board. There was never any suggestion of faggotry at my school. Homosexuality at boarding schools in this country is a sphere of interest which is difficult to quantify. To try and answer your question, the law of averages suggests that it does happen ...

Mar 16, 2011 · OK, just going by the title this probably sounds like the dumbest OP ever, but bear with me. A friend and I are cooking soba (noodles). He accidentally left in the ‘do not eat’ packet in the boiling water for a few minutes. He picked it out before inserting the noodles. It was sealed. He thinks we’re fine and said ‘the only reason they tell you not to eat them is because they absorb ...
