    No, because if you do, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

    A medium-sized apple contains 95 calories and 300mg of fat (slightly less if without the skin).

    So eating three Jolly Ranchers is better for you than eating an apple!

  8. Re:Quantum computers aren't X times faster. on 1 Molecule Computes Thousands of Times Faster Than a PC · · Score: 1

    Yes, such statements are gross simplifications.

    However, saying that "a single molecule can perform a complex calculation thousands of times faster than a conventional computer" is in no way false.

    I'll only go see it if it was FILMED in 3D, and not just converted from 2D like Clash of the Titans.

  11. Re:PREDICTIONS ARE IN on FCC Allows Blocking of Set-Top Box Outputs · · Score: 1

    Actually, I tried to watch Kitchen Nightmares tonight OTA. The last 15 or so minutes were so garbled that I have no idea what happened

    Edit (not a real edit, just a "I hadn't quite posted yet" edit): I'm much happier now that I've watched the fireworks display for the BMets game.

    Back to the point: If I'm close enough to the city center to see fireworks from every window in my apartment (I live on Oak St, Binghamton - as for privacy, if you really want to go door to door and ask about skine on Slashdot, then feel free. It's like telling you that my sister lives at 87th and Amsterdam. Good luck), why the hell can't Fox effectively broadcast their channel here? (Note that Fox is the only channel I've had issue with OTA).

  12. Re:I agree on Most File Sharers Would Pay For Legal Downloads · · Score: 1

    The vast majority of my piracy is in downloading recent episodes of TV shows.

    I would be fine with using Hulu, except that most shows I'm interested in are not posted online until a week after they air, and are only available for about six weeks. So I have to either buy or pirate any show that is more than six weeks old if I want to watch it.

      On the other hand, the only time I've pirated South Park in my recent memory is because 201 was not aired online. At southparkstudios.com, you can watch any episode ever made (excluding episodes between one and four weeks old - and also Super Best Friends and 201 because Comedy Central is afraid of terrorists).

    The best part is that South Park posts every episode online because Trey Parker and Matt Stone were tired of illegally downloading episodes of their own show.

  18. Re:His Official Policy on Homosexuality Is No Secr on Virginia AG Probing Michael Mann For Fraud · · Score: 1

    The reason that many people use any cooling as "disproof" of Global Warming is because proponents of AGW have use any warming as "proof" of Global Warming.

    There are idiots on both sides of the aisle.

    Most people miss the "Global" part of Global Warming. However, it does manifest itself locally in terms of an increase in odd weather patterns. This is not to say that odd patterns don't happen on their own, or weather patterns don't change over time without being attributed to human-caused Global Warming.

    It's important to remember that statements such as "It's cold here!" or "It's really hot here!" or "We had an unusually _____ summer/winter here!" are all anecdotal, and don't really count as evidence either way, unless their net effect is represented on a 'Global' scale.

    Assuming they leave about 10 hours for sleep/dorm time and 3 hours for eating, what happens the other 8 hours of the day?

  21. Re:No matter on Avatar Blu-Ray DRM Issues · · Score: 1

    Yes, I will admit I'm a bit of an enthusiast when it comes to animation, but it's definitely not beyond most people's grasp. They don't really go into the technicals, but instead provide a narrative from them being essentially the marketing department for a hardware company to working with Disney.

  22. Re:No matter on Avatar Blu-Ray DRM Issues · · Score: 1

    There are even "Making Ofs" that are interesting that consist only of "they made it on a computer."

    Honestly, the special features on the Pixar Shorts DVD is amazing. It starts with the issue: How, in an animation using only boxes, spheres, cylinders and cones, does one create realistic characters?

    Fat cats may not be a talking point, but it is a derisive term showing bias.

    You could just as easily have said:

    The bastards on Wall Street
    The assholes on Wall Street
    The insensitive clods on Wall Street
    The elitists on Wall Street
    The old white men on Wall Street
    The Nazis on Wall Street

    These are just a few examples of words that have automatic negative connotations, meaning that using any of them paints whoever you're talking about as the bad guy.
