    A chiropractor is a massage therapist that believes in fairy tales.

    Understanding photosynthesis seems like it'd be very important in biology. There are very few living things that don't depend on it. Even mushrooms need something that was once alive due to photosynthesis to sponge off of.

  4. Re:BluRay? Why? on Star Wars Coming To Blu-ray In September · · Score: 1

    Actually I have one of the best upconverters, I believe it's called a Radeon 5770. There's no denying that DVD looks better after being processed. However that same process will also make HD content look better, since there's more information to be processed. Higher resolution offers more benefits than just being able to see tiny details on screen, when more colours in the same area can be shown, they will blend better. The same goes for producing contrast. The only part of the processing that can't be applied to 720p and 1080p content is deinterlacing... because they're not interlaced.

    Upconverting just makes the DVD format not look like absolute trash on larger screens. It does not add any increased definition, just blurs it nicely.

    A quick trick to the Office of Vital Statistics and you could have your wish.

    The thing is, to become a licensed chiro, you have to learn all the bullshit too. Well if you want to be straight. Mixers get to mix in the bullshit with real medicine.

    The default PC controls for Unreal Tournament used the arrow keys for movement. That was back in 1999. The DPAD has been on the left side since at least 1985 (in NA).

    It's REAL science! Hemp also cures cancer and water fluoridation is really dumping toxic waste in our water supply. The moon landings were faked too because they took too many nice pictures, and the smallpox vaccine is actually made from cowpox, so there's no chance it could possibly create the same antibodies needed to kill smallpox. Also, joint pain can be cured remotely by any well-trained chiropractor.

    Nah, the medium is the message, the content is the audience.

    Fish Ladders don't work. Dams also create large pools (lakes) of standing water rather than fast flowing water (reduced oxygen content) and heat up the water.

    Literacy is not 100% in that area in the world, and I doubt many people driving vehicles are tested and licensed before being allowed access to a vehicle.
