Ridiculous rubbish........ 7,000m/380m = 5%, not 0.05%. Please try to be sensible with your numbers. That is one in twenty people is a native English speaker.
The real story here is that the UK govt isnt giving money to communal rural broadband programs. That is what this story is about. BT(wholesale) owns the vast majority of the UK's phone lines and internet access(with the exception of cable where you can get it).
The systems in place only seem to acknowledge broadband extension programmes from big companies so as apparently to avoid communities setting up their own broadband networks etc.
This is pretty disgraceful (but old) news from the British govt. It was on radio 4 about a month ago...
Or rare meat. The core of the meat has to reach a high enough temperature to reliably kill the parasites. 145F for pork and fish. 165 for everything else. Note that chefs routinely go lower than these temperatures in order to avoid tough, leathery meat. I would imagine that fish tapeworms are the most common in the US since cooking fish too long will ruin it. And then of course there is sushi.
Although I am not a massive fan of films shown in 3d, I have to mention that the current generation of 3d displays can be used for other purposes. I have an active 3d setup on my pc, with LCD shutter glasses and it is not fantastic for watching films, mainly due to the quality of the films and the 3d effects used in most of them.
Where the system really excels is in gaming. It adds a huge quality to games which look pretty decent even without it. LA Noire is one example where I was astounded by how much the improvement added to the atmosphere. I think also because rendered scenes avoid having out of focus areas that it is somewhat easier on the eyes than filmed 3d effects. Definitely worth getting a glimpse of if you can, although it can still stress the eyes a bit.
Lack of parallax is what killed this for me - I can watch 3D while sitting perfectly still, but whenever I move and the 3D picture stays exactly same, I get nauseous.
The current 3D effects have correct parallax but incorrect focus/convergence. If you move your head in the cinema, the objects actually appear to move in the plane. Perhaps if you cannot see this, you are one of the many people who cannot see 3D properly (for many reasons) or alternatively it could be faulty glasses or a shit cinema where there is overlap between the eyes.
Either way, correct focus is exactly what the modern 'filmed' 3D films do not have. The filming consists of two cameras at eye separation focused at exactly what the director wanted. For me this is much worse than you described. Any objects in the background cannot be focused on unless they happen to be within the depth of field. Generally this leads to completely unrealistic scenes and breaking the 4th wall when I have noticed it....
Yes, completely agree with AC. The first of the telltale episodes was only released quite recently so it is pretty odd that the activision one makes the news.
I think your original point was spot on. The cost of a person getting on a spacecraft has nothing to do with it. Terribly written summary strikes again!
I'm not quite sure on your troubles claim of 5,000 years; perhaps you mean 30 years (1969–1998) as wikipedia states or even at the earliest the 17th centure for anything even vaguely relevant. This was the earliest the english planters were sent over. Calling anything before that 'the troubles' is complete nonsense and displays a massive lack of understanding of the region.
For a given starting state, the ending state is determined by the operations in the quantum computer. It is only in trying to measure the resulting qubits that the probability interpretation comes into it.

Nice Troll. Good mixture of nonsense, terms vaguely from the subject area and religion.
The ones that pick and choose passages whilst ignoring the truly abhor ant ones for any given argument?

If Apple isn't producing anything spectacular, does that make their financial success more or less impressive?
No, I mean yes.

Sorry, I couldn't read after your amazing broken bits..
