The closest religions have to "well defined experiments" are artifacts proving that many of the events in the bible truly occurred. The only thing that cannot be proven is whether or not a god was behind said events. Those who choose to believe in a religion are using their brains, and cannot be labelled as stupid. If your choice to have faith means believing the difference between eternal suffering, or eternal paradise, then it's logical to choose to believe, out of fear if nothing else. The true morons are those who choose to believe without following the core tenets laid down by their religion, IE terrorists, crusaders. There's enough content in religion to justify the fact that over half of the world's population chooses, with free will, to believe in a religion.
sounds kind of ignorant, to label all believers in religion as stupid. In a similar manner, I could label all theoretical physicists as stupid, since they too are choosing to believe things that they cannot prove, or see.
As if. The middle class is getting slowly snuffed out. Soon there will only be the working class, which will include knowledge workers, and the rich. The divide between income levels has been growing larger and larger, but only because of the banks stealing money and power from the working class.
I'm sure the Activision merger had a lot to do with it, but I think the rampant success of World of Warcraft has inflated their ego. The way they released Starcraft II content leading up to its release was done with a tone of "Feast your eyes on yon game! We, Blizzard, have made it, and therefore it is good!"
Indeed, ever since the merger, the dev posts on the forums have shown how full Blizzard is of themselves now. Responses by the dev team to complaints by wow players have acted as if it's not Blizzard's fault, it's the players fault for understanding why they changed aspects of the game. I love the healer changes they made, but the attitude of the devs about the changes to the game have caused me to cancel my subscription
Of course, you'd be limited by the amount of energy you can harvest from sunlight, but that's really a problem no matter what you do, in the longer term...
sunlight alone doesn't generate the kind of heat needed to run this process. It would take something closer to nuclear reactions to generate the heat that would allow the Co2 to be used in a closed loop. Some day there may be fruition, but that possibility seems farther and farther away every day.
Get Google Chrome. I get tired of dealing with browsers that require downloading new iterations every time the wave of bugs from the old iteration are fixed, only to realise the new version has more bugs than ever before.
This concerns me in the way steel toed boots often concern soldiers. With the strength of steel, it must take a lot of pressure to make the glass bend. Therefore, what does one do when they are pinned down by this glass? It probably takes a strength greater than that of a human to bend, so it could doom someone just as well as it could protect them.

Don't get me started on FF's long history of issues with flash and JavaScript
