Well recently scientists discovered the the speed of light is not a constant... so why the hell not have it a different speed somewhere else in the universe? It is entirely possible.... skeptics will just rip this notion apart
So... CD's are limited to CD players... floppy's are limited to floppy drives, tapes are limited to tape decks. The point you made was pretty weak. The real point you should have made was that MD's aren't as popular as CD's (at least in the US... Europe its great I've heard). The world needs to realise how great MD's are in terms of size verse storage capacity. You can put on 80mins of sound on a 140mb disk using the ATRAC music compression (which is just as good as CD audio... i've put it to my own personal test), and 320mins with ATRAC3... All in a 3in square that can't be scratched easily or by laying around like a CD can. The track managing is great, and labeling is easy and useful. If they made it where they could put MP3 files on it, then it would sell a whole lot better... and I'm sure that a good percentage of the world population would make the switch...
What about minidisks??? They're smaller, you can burn on the go, and re-burn whenever you want. You don't have to worry about gettin the disk scratched or anything either. The capacity of an MD is pretty much the same too. So why is everybody getting all hyped up about this when MD's do it better?
Sorry that you intrepreted it in that aspect... I don't understand why people like to pick out words from what people say and put them together, creating something entirely new and wrong... I didn't say to block it because I had trouble with it, I said to block it because it is a shit browser...
No windows use (hmm... i wonder what im running right now)?? Try running mozilla in windows.... now that is a bitch...
Well... I really don't blame microsoft for blocking mozilla actually. The browser is really plagued with bugs. I used mozilla for a good 4 hours before I got fed up with all the errors and pages that didn't load correctly. I would gladly use IE over mozilla any day...
The only way that I see this happening is if the reading/writing device is using a lazer with a really high frequency... such as a blue lazer... anybody know of this?
25-150 Million years to next mass extinction asteroid/comet if you bet with the odds.
Actually I thought it was every 3million years our planet is doomed for a major catastrophe... cosmically speaking... Every 3million years we travel through the center of the disk that is our galaxy (...center with respect to the thickness), which is full of other solarsystems that disrupt the cloud of comets/asteroids/big-scary-monsters that create a sphere surrounding our solarsystem... Correct me if this time figure is wrong...
If you're gonna make a CD from MP3's that you got from the internet, get 320, but for normal listening in winamp (or something with an equalizer), use 192. It does save space, but I find that 192kbps is run through the equalizer better (at least sounds better) than 320. Don't ask me why, that's just how it sounds to me.
If people should not protest wars and give "support", then what exactly are we fighting for? In the end, isn't the ability to disagree and voice your opinion freely one of the main goals in "defending freedom"?
If you choose to not support your own country, then you choose to not support the system that gave you the freedom to choose whom you support. It is like taking the life of your own mother... the one who gave you life. Without her, you wouldn't even have had the chance. While I do think that you should be able to voice out against your own country, why are you voicing out against it while it's trying to protect your lives and your freedom to voice out against it!?? Voice out loud enough, and they might stop their attacks on bin laden, but then what's stopping him from taking your freedoms away from you? Think about what might happen if you actually get your way... before you try to get it......
In this sense our general understanding of number thoery and the basis there in of the universe would runravel...
First off... where the hell did you get that form?? 1=3?? (without changing bases)
Second, If discovering a new way to do something "runravel"'s (???) the universe, then the system of the universe that we believed in wasn't true to begin with.
Underground... now that is music. I don't care what you do with manson's music, or metallica (however you want to spell it on napster), if you just leave the underground alone.... (hopefully DI radio won't even go under from this sh*t)
What if the guy wanted to use it for a game where you have a movie clip or some sort of cinematic event? Or say they're looking through glass in goggles, a helmit, cockpit, or anything (...driving in a car...), and the glass isn't perfectly clear, which might produce a streak/flare.... again, there's always a reason to do something...
You can get a "flare" in your normal vision... after all light does go through a lens in your eye. I know it's nothing like the ones we see in movies and TV, but if you stare at the right light, you'll get a glow or some streaking effect (especially if your eye is a little watery... try it with christmas lights) Ummm... last time that I got a lens flare in my normal vision was when I was driving home today from the bright lights of a car, and I have perfect vision, so I'm not gonna be rushing out to my eye doctor soon...
And finally, as for the tits--why complain? As long as the stories are good, the tits are just a bonus. How can any man woman or child with a pulse complain? I mean, did you SEE those things in the rubdown scene? Those nipples were like two stiff warp nacelles, boldly jutting out where every man would love to go...;-)
Amen to that!! Damn... have you guys SEEN the maxum pics of her???!!? I say put her in a g-string bikini for her "uniform", heh...
I'm really curious as to why they're actually building a launch site there. The advantage that comes from launching near the equator is huge. Intead of trying to launch from no relative movement to the earth, you already got a speed boost from the rotation of the earth itself if you're on the equator. It's just gonna cost a lot more for fuel (which adds more fuel to make up for the weight of the extra fuel... which adds more fuel, etc).
"A whole country of the fattest, most spoiled, and most self-righteous people on the planet are filled with indignant fury, and the country's leaders (elected by popular vote) know that all they need to do for their approval ratings to shoot through the roof is FAN THE FLAMES OF WAR"
--The point that the American population in whole has no real power behind the insult. The reason that people are fat is because our advancements in medecine, technology, and overall efficiency allows us to be lazy... leading to low exercise and weight gain. So just because we don't have to walk to work, manually tend to a farm, or even wipe our own asses anymore shouldn't come off as an insult. We're smart enough where we can invent the technology to make our lives eaiser.
Bush wasn't elected on popular vote... do your homework...
Even if they were, that shouldn't be an insult. Having somenone become the leader of a country due to their blood-line or who they marry is totally idiotic. well... ok... so maybe that helped bush a little that his daddy was prez, but still you get my point) If someone comes into power by declaration of the current leader... thats pretty frekin stupid too. Democracy is the only safe way of government.
The US isn't the only people goin to war here (again... do your homework). The entire NATO alliance has envoked article 5 that says that an attack on one is an attack on all... NOT goin to war would be a horrible move on our part. All it's doing is appeasing the terrorists, who will continue bombing and killing lives if we don't fight back... if we don't fight back, it would be an invitation for terrorists to begin open hunting on Americans.
"The real enemy of freedom in this attack is the narrow-minded delusions both Christians and Muslims willingly indulge in; the fundamentalist Muslim delusions just happen to be more immediately violent. Bush's reading of Psalm 23 during his 9/11 Oval Office speech is so ironic it's laughable."
--I'm pretty sure that the book of psalms was written before Christianity... before Jesus was even born. Most psalms were written through the inspiration of David. They're insightful, powerful, and do not directly point to christianity. A beautiful quote has no race, nationality, or religion... just pure inspiration...
"Is it because you're American and too dumb to do anything except believe the shit that CNN dribbles into your ears?"
--Hmmm... im detecting some penis envy here...
Anyway, you fuckin moron, I've been watchin BBC and they're dribbling the same "shit" into my ears... Ignorance plagues the entire world, and it seems to have started with you....
The human population's sympathetical values are really going downhill when someone can't even recognise the strength in beauty and communication of thoughts that comes from a real life experience... however emotional it may be.
Maybe you could pray for more compassion in our world. Compassion for a fellow human's life would have prevented even the planning of this terrorism.... what a horrible civilization we have spawned....
BTW... your clothes don't 'phorphoresces' under a black light. Phosphorescent materials hold the energy from the light and release it over time... like a glowing super-ball. Soap doesn't do that. The SEMEN just is ILLUMINATED under the black light... thats all... cuz it's white.

"What device that cannot stop bullets could begin to stop them just by adding a computer?"
--Well if you have a small, lightweight piece of 'nanoclothing', the clothing can detect an incoming projectile, and perhaps reinforce that area with extra fibers or machinery. It would have a very strong resistance on demand, and only in the places needed... allowing you to stay away from heavy and cumbersome bullet proof vests.
"Now, how the heck is this computer going to know there is a bullet?"
--Obviously you don't really understand computers, or you wouldn't be questioning the capibility of one. A computer is limited to the geniouses that design them, and the brains that program them. If you can detect any motion of an object, you can modify it to detect a bullet. Also, it's just a tech-forecast... the real technology hasn't been perfected.
"Ever get the soapy water on you when you didn't want to?...do you really think every last residue of soap is free of your clothes?"
--Well if they're gonna make something like that, I'm sure they would have it be able to tell what kind of soap it's coming in contact with. Even if it did release the scent or dirt into the soap, it would be in the soap, just just spraying it on your face or something. Cloth fibers and nano-bots are totally different. Soap doesnt stick into machinery like it does cloth fibers... even it it was half and half... there must be a tolerance level for it to relase the captured dirt... not just a frekin molecule of soap.
"ever get near a black light and see how your clothes phosphoresces because of the residual things left behind?"
--I think semen and blood show up best for that... that's pretty much what the police use it for. When they test a shirt or something for semen, soap doesnt show up... semen does....you dont wash your clothes in semen, do you?
"embedded sensors and tiny computers that allow it to stop bullets"
It says STOP bullets... not detect it. You just went on and one about the stupid effects of detecting bullets and warning the person about to be shot, when that's not even what it was stating.
talk about the potential of smelling like a wet dog when you hop on the elevator at work after running in from the rain...
Again... they said SOAPY WATER... not just water. Do you really think that they would let that slip or something?
