Video Quality Matters Less If You Enjoy the Show
An anonymous reader writes "Rice University researchers say new studies show that if you like what you're watching, you're less likely to notice the difference in video quality of the TV show, Internet video or mobile movie clip, putting a lie to some of the more extravagant marketing claims of electronics manufacturers. 'If you're at home watching and enjoying a movie, we found that you're probably not going to notice or even concern yourself with how many pixels the video is or if the data is being compressed,' said the lead researcher. 'This strong relationship holds across a wide range of encoding levels and movie content when that content is viewed under longer and more naturalistic viewing conditions.'"
The only reason to get married is if you feel that your partner is the person you want to be with for your whole life.
Sorry, but I and many other people will disagree about that. Lots of people get married so that they can stay legally in a country, either with a girlfriend or on their own. Other people get married to people they barely know, just because they are told to do so by their parents based on cultural traditions. Other people get married because their girlfriend got pregnant and she doesn't want to become a mom without marrying. In my personal situation, I got married because I love my wife, I wanna pay less taxes, and in the country where I live (Germany) it makes it easier with kids when you are married. It has nothing to do with "the person of your whole life". If you believe that marrying will correlate to "whole life" you should read some statistics about divorce rates.
I don't mean to troll and I'm sure you are a very romantic person. But please let's realize that not everyone believes in the myth of marriage.
