If the process kills all mold spores and this is repeated again and again, doesn't that imply that if this becomes widespread practice that nature will develop super mold that can survive this process?
You don't find it alarming that Obama has a kill list, can kill people anywhere (even US citizens) without any trial or even any evidence of wrongdoing. Runs a prison where people are jailed indefinitely without any trial or jury. It all starts the same way, slowly and slowly your rights are taken away.
It doesn't matter if he hasn't committed espionage, they can charge him for it anyway or just make up some charges. I do not share your faith in Sweden, all the case surrounding the chief prosecutor is a little weird and since Swedish law allows interviews to be conducted abroad makes Sweden to be very fishy. I have little faith in Sweden as a lawful country. You could witness this in the Pirate Bay trial how Swedish courts could be pressured by US companies to do their bidding.
And one more question: What laws can the USA extradite Assange for? Assange hasn't broken any American laws. And even if they could, those laws would likely fall under military or political prosecution, two areas Sweden will not extradite people under.
Because games and movies are not the same thing, movies include motion blur but most games do not and if they do it is only partial. Frame rate and display rate is not the same thing.
There is also another problem with this idea. When you enlarge a round object, all of the outer shell gets enlarged the same. Think of inflating a party balloon, nothing actually moves around on the balloon everything just gets stretched in all directions. Of course the original idea seems to imply that there is also some continental drift, but then why do you need this outlandish idea when you have continental drift?
You don't actually believe this? There are so many problems with this idea. Where did the extra mass come from? Where did the water come from? If you look at the animation you can see that the continents are actually morphed in all possible ways to fit with the preconceived model. Of course it fits if you just morph it any way you like. There is science and then there is just crap like this with nothing to back it up.
Well, scientists have a tendency to die after 100 years or less, so it is possible to to cram 20 or more on a square meter when they are under ground and made of ash:)
I can't believe that this was a mystery. This is completely obvious to anyone who can think. There is a similar phenomenon with the moving rocks in the Death Valley. If you have water and wind you can basically move anything given enough time.
How about instead of focusing on bell and whistles focus on more important things like speed, memory usage, and and the constantly crashing Flash plugin. i know Flash isn't made by Mozilla but why doesn't Mozilla and Adobe work together to fix this?
"Hitler planned and built the Autobahn. Or did he?
In reality, the first section of what would later become the legendary German autobahn network was constructed and built before Hitler came to power. Construction on the Köln-Bonn Autobahn began in 1929. During opening ceremonies on August 6, 1932, none other than Konrad Adenauer was on hand to inaugurate the 20 km (12 mi) section of autobahn running between Cologne and Bonn. Adenauer, then the Oberbürgermeister (mayor) of Cologne, proclaimed: "So werden die Straßen der Zukunft aussehen." ("This is how the roads of the future will look.") Adenauer supported the autobahn project partly as a way to create jobs during hard economic times. Later he would become West Germany's first Bundeskanzler (chancellor, from 1949 to 1963)."
Why? Because this is a private corporation. The current CEO and it's owners may be willing to honor this now, but down the road after someone else acquires Twitter (An evil company, like for example Oracle) then any loopholes will be used to ignore this commitment. After reading the agreement I can spot a loophole in almost every paragraph, like for example in 2c "otherwise to deter a patent litigation threat against Assignee or Assignee’s users, affiliates, customers, suppliers, or distributors." Doesn't this mean that they can sue anybody just to "deter" patent litigation?
The only way do this is to abandon patents for software. That is the only way we can make sure private companies don't become patent trolls.
Well it doesn't affect you until it suddenly does and by then it is to late.
The US is now much more dangerous and crazy than any other country in the world. The US puts people in prisons and tortures them without any trials they can also assassinate any citizen anywhere without a trial or jury. The military is being privatized to handle any questionable murders. Private financial corporations take orders from the US government on who they can do business with. I could go on and on...
Don't you see it? The US is just as bad as any other third world country.
I remember trying out OS/2, but there where so many bugs in the OS/2 installer that I was unable to install a working copy on my machine. If you can't install the product then there isn't much hope of it gaining a foothold.
When any part of a standard is optional, then you can't really depend on it. If you can't depend on it then you can't really use it for any real life scenarios. Optional features in standards are bad.
This is exactly what any innovative company should be doing, especially a company that has the money to spend. You should do development and research on many promising ideas, of course not all of them are going to work, but that is to be expected. This is not wasted money, whenever you can employee people and pay them for work it is not wasted money.

The solution is to never buy a Sony product. I stopped buying Sony products after the rootkit fiasco and my live has been better ever since :)
If I lived next to you and I did my best to inflame the drug cartels wouldn't you consider me a danger to the community?
No I would consider the drug cartels a danger to the community.
"Also no word on how they overcame the difference between a mouse and touchscreen (think pinch to zoom)."
Yes that one is hard, I will have to think about that for at least 2 seconds...scroll wheel.

Yes, its totally not like the US puts people in indefinite detention or tortures prisoners or assassinates people without any evidence right?

What do you expect from a country that has been run by a dictator for the last 12 years and where corruption is rampant and there is no rule of law.
I can't believe that this was a mystery. This is completely obvious to anyone who can think. There is a similar phenomenon with the moving rocks in the Death Valley. If you have water and wind you can basically move anything given enough time.
Would it not be simpler to have the pathologist train a machine learning algorithm and then use that instead of the game?

But TPB lost their trial, so it doesn't matter if you live outside the US, US companies can still take you to court.

And why? Shouldn't the people have information what actions their own government is doing? The government is for the people, not the other way round.
Really? In this day and age when email is perhaps the only communication for some members, then group scheduling has to be delivered by email.
