    australia, 1901, which incidentally is about 130 years after the US. comparing the britain of 1770 with that of 1900 is comparing apples to oranges. Plus australia is not totally independent, having the queen still as head of state and the british flag as part of its own.

    Is this the first time in your life that you see a not 100% correct by the international standards change of regimes/borders (Kosovo comes to mind)? On the other hand I do like your Kuril argument. Let's extend it a bit more: "Finally, would the British Empire accept a referendum by residents of it's colonies in the new world, for example, on breaking away from motherland and becoming independent?" Those sorts of things are not achieved by throwing roses at your enemies.

    we don't know we are made of matter. What if what we call matter is in fact anti-matter ? Or to put it differently, if the universe was made of "antimatter" wouldn't we think we were made of matter and the definition of antimatter (positron etc.) would be the opposite of what's now? Isn't it just a matter (no pun intended) of definition ?

    are you dumb or pretend to? where was the racism in my post? That piece of land legally belonged to Russia and was inhabited by Russian majority. A referendum took place (the right of self determination - remember that chump?) and they voted for independence.

    I guess you are throwing the right of self determination out of the window dude. What sort of international law are you talking about? It's funny because in Kosovo, there was no referendum at all, it became independent just by bombing. The alaska thing is straw man, it was sold to the US.

    There is no point in fighting for land that doesn't belong to you. Crimea was and is Russian (60% of the population is Russian and most of the rest are russian-friendly), nikita chruschtschow transferred it to ukraine in 1954 in a time that it didn't really matter because it was simply USSR land.

    scientifically untrue. if the world economy grows each year by 3% (let's say 3.000.000.000 dollars) we can have people who can get richer each year by let's say 10% where that 10% can be let's say 1.000.000 dollars. We can have 3.000 such people in order to reach to the point where your assumption would have to be true.

    yeah but that's only valid for a small increase on the resolution (for a constant sized monitor). If you tripled or quadrupled the resolution ( per axis ), I highly doubt he or anyone else would be able to read the cells contents without a ... microscope. So in the long term, the real estate depends on the physical size, not the resolution, oh and don't tell me that 'in the long term we are all dead'-thing :P

  25. Re:Work? on Rise of the Super-High-Res Notebook Display · · Score: 1

    how would a higher resolution on the same frame help you with your problem? if your screen is still let's say 15 inches and you double the resolution, the excel cells would need to be drawn on twice the size (in pixels) for them to remain on a constant physical size (otherwise your excel cells would be too small to see), thus you'd still see the same number of cells on that double-resolution monitor.
