There wasn't more of it because it wasn't conceived of in the first place, the film is simply pretty, with white man is evil tacked on for good measure.
So if all of what you say is true, why didn't the God step in and save them immediately? Why did it let them come to harm in the first place? The Na'vi are in no way superior to humans, where are their scholars, their artists, their inventors? They are entirely dependent on their God for everything, and when that God took 3 months to lift a finger, hundreds died. If the na'vi did indeed reach a singularity, that singularity was Idiocracy.
Lower G = Weaker Lifeforms and another thing...

Why the Christ has this not been mentioned? If you have a planet with lower gravity, the lifeforms will grow taller, but be weaker. No way should the Na'vi be stronger than the humans.
And another thing, why is the prof pointing out all the other flaws in the science of the movie, and then turning around and saying 'oh but its ok because I'd drink Jim Cameron's nyerk any day'. Jeez, the science in Avatar was HORRIBLE! Giant retarded screens everywhere, guns that shoot bullets... We have lasers, NOW, why on Earth would we still be using bullets in 140 years?
And yet another thing, why did they send in ground troops at the end? They were dropping a giant bomb and clearly had aerial superiority, ground troops were a stupid idea.
Lets be honest here, science in Avatar is utter rubbish, everything's the way it is because it looks cool, end of discussion.
I had this exact same problem, I begun writing my own music in my mid-teens, and still do it 10 years later. The effect is that whenever I listen to most musical styles I analyse melodies, rhythm and whether or not I think they spent enough on mastering. I'm a programmer by trade, and I love my music, the trouble is that listening to it is too damn distracting and the alternative - listening to constant homosexual inuendo from my married male colleagues is just as bad.
Having said that (and I'm in no way trying to plug certain bands), I began listening to more ambient musical styles, and found that rather than constantly trying to over analyse production values, I'm far more likely to fall into the zone, and 8 hours will pass very quickly. I'd recommend checking out music by Delerium (earlier albums), Vestigial and The New Law, perhaps they will have the same effect on you. At the very least, maybe you'll find a musical style that puts you in the zone too.
I should note that my musical preferences are mostly electronic and industrial (decree, not nin)... Maybe the real reason this ambient stuff puts me in the zone is not because it's quieter or more melodic, but because the lyrics no longer promote genocide, who knows?
Well that depends on the IQ test and what the article means by language development and emotional intelligence, maybe he implies that men and women do better at certain questions in the test?
I HATE experts exchange. I program for a living and often when I come across odd bugs I'll do a quick google to see if someone else has had the same problem. Sure enough, experts exchange ranks near the top. You can actually see what the 'expert' answer is by scrolling right to the bottom of the page (I was told google threatened to take them off their search if they didn't have the answer) but now that I can see the answer, it's still usually complete rubbish. If I could define a search profile, that crap ass site would sure as hell be in the hide list.
Ah ok, well having never seen a real live tornado I don't know what to expect, now that I think about it, the sound of wind might be a good indicator of when to run for cover. Out of interest, how quick do they usually move along the ground?
I fail to see what's so impressive about the magazine, they seem to have taken 'save PINs from bottle caps of Coke and enter them online to win!!' to a whole new silly level. Claiming that this is somehow augmented reality is ridiculous. Why would I want to buy a magazine and then hold it up to my PC? If I'm reading a magazine I don't have my PC handy, if I'm reading stuff on the web then I don't want to have my magazine handy. And I hear I have to download some spiffy software too? Why not just have the whole thing online? Ugh, this is almost as bad as when some tool decided to call Fear Factory's sound 'Terrorkore', almost, but not quite.
So because gamma rays are generated by electricity, the electric universe theory must be correct? It is well known that the force of gravity is the weakest of the four forces, and there are theories as to why, but this does not disprove modern physics and prove the electric universe theory.
No, free is just something you're having trouble comprehending. The web is a massive human advancement, and could be a way for the human race to evolve. One of the most important factors of the internet's evolution into it's current form is that information is, mostly, free. And you want to bring it back down to some standard business model? Forgive me for sounding like an evangelic student, but seriously, go fuck yourself.
Indeed, a friend of mine's parents setup a bonfire in their backyard and a ranger showed up and asked them to put it out, well they didn't, so a helicopter flew over and dropped water on them and their fire. They didn't have bonfires without a fire permit after that!
What on Earth does your wife do to her PC that requires you to reinstall the OS every 6 months? I've owned several windows machines and I can honestly say I've never had any problems with malware, trojans, viruses or fragged HDDs. Just because Joe-Idiot can screw up their machine every few months, or open.exe email attachments, or install no end of ridiculous browser extensions and applications that live in your sys-tray, doesn't mean that a sensible, intelligent user can't make good use of their system. Coming from a person who programs video-games for a living, and actually knows his way around an XP system, there's no way I'd switch to a Mac.
I'm far off topic here, but I couldn't but help notice your cool sig, I've used that very sound in the beginning of some electronica I made, it is awesome.

So you're saying you'd rather die in your sleep than be warned of a tornado so you can avoid it? Way to go out like a man, man!
