Except your thesis seems to fail by inspection - because you are comparing apples to oranges. Denizens of mountainous areas often don't see the horizon at all - their line of sight to it is blocked by said mountains. By the time the moon rises to a point where it is visible to them, it's long been above the horizon, and thus is past the point where the illusion occurs.
You can show them the train tracks illusion on a piece of paper and they will be less receptive to it than a flatlander would be.
Assuming a perfect non-eliptical orbit, the moon on the horizon is farther away than the moon directly overhead by almost half the diameter of the Earth.
Additionally, I wrote a college term paper about this illusion and in my research I found the illusion to be less pronounced in denizens of mountainous areas who have less exposure to things like train tracks that extend straight into the horizon. Without that frame of reference, they are less likely to think of objects near the horizon as necessarily being very away.
Changing from 24 fps of film to 30 fps of video, every 5th frame is doubled. Looks like they combined frames to help smooth the already jerky animated look. As noted this is less of a problem with films of real moving objects. Now we know why?
Seriously, the first season was almost as funny as The Simpsons. Later seasons would introduce a new theme song and new characters like Pebbles, Bam-Bam, and the Great Gazoo.
I just made a duplicate of the file "Building My PC.doc" and renamed the copy to "BuildingMyPC.doc". When I went to Spotlight to search for it, my last search for "PC" turned this file up without me having to type anything in at all!
I bet you have the word "PC" somewhere in the text of that file.

Because there's a couple tech companies who think they can use "Tiger" and several sport teams too.
oh, nevermind!

Easier to train one to fight, then copy its brain into other robots.
It's farther away from the viewer when on the horizon than when overhead. Does that clear things up?

So what are they powered by, then?

I'll third Dreamhost, but click the link under MY name instead ;-)

No one apart from developers has it and no one has reported running it on a non-Apple machine.
Sounds like you have other problems. Safari 2 is fast as ever for me, and Firefox 1.0.4 doesn't crash for me.
Kewl, thanx.
In my defense, clearly this is something that must be selected in order to work, and not an automatic system-wide feature.
OK, I'm on a Mac running Safari. Let's test the spell checker...

I see no underlines. How do I get them to show?

Those are both "after" images.

Throw in there somewhere:

Kerry Conran and Robert Rodriguez could each take one.
