Certainly, you can trust their reviews, if you have a brain in your head. A review about a product owned by CBS that they gush over is ovbiously suspicious. But really, the whole hopper thing is just because of a fued between Dish and the major networks. The overwhelming majority of CNETs reviews, being things like routers, printers, and TVs, are going to be unaffected. But its also good to remember that reviews sites are rarely totally unbiased (showing my age, but i remember PCGamer when they were still "relevant" getting caught cheating with reviews of big advertisers) and as the reader its your job to engage the brain and realize when someone is pandering.
The iphone is fundamentally still a wireless telephone, and outgrowth of both telephone and radio technology, and it could be argued electronics as well. Perhaps the pinnacle of such tech, but still a derivation.
The light bulb however was not still a candle, but fundamentally different using a completely different basis in science/engineering, different from anything that had come before it.

In fact the first nuclear submarine crews were studied for this very reason because once the Navy had the ability to put these guys in a steel tube underwater for 6+ months at a time (as opposed to only about 36hours max with the old subs) they became perfect test cases for NASA for long term space exploration.

I dont think it's the only viable one. But it certainly simplifies a lot of the logistics. Isntead of having to haul hundres of diferent parts and materials....you just haul the printer up along with one, perhaps two or three, material blanks for the printer to use. Bloody brilliant in terms of simplification. About the only thing simpler would be total pre-fab on earth, but its not practical doe to shipping size limits.
So its ok to be bigoted toward religious folks, and not ok to call someone out on it?
A bigot is a bigot is a bigot. A person who labels someone a nutjob because of their christianity is just as big a bigot as the christian who hates on middle easterners because "theyre all islamic terrosists".
Thank you, by modding my post flamebait you only further prove my point about the hypocrisy and anti-religious bias by some people on this site who abuse the moderation system.
My first thoughts to. Why promote everyone opening up their wireless networks when what we really need is true ubiquitous (big word), wide-area wireless internet. 3G, 4G, WiMax, whatever you want to call the next scale up version, but a suficiently capable regional-area wireless access plan you can pick up any where any time. The internet of the future we keep seeing in stories and movies, but always around the next bend because we keep letting them push their seperate gatekeeper networks that dont really talk to each other but all lead to the same place....
If your main complaint is his religious beliefs, then the only nutjob bigot is yourself.
Don't confuse bad acting with bad martial artist. And bad acting or not, he got rich off it, so that pretty much invalidates any comments about that. He is very accomplished in martial arts, owns many dojos, and oversees several youth programs run out of his dojos, and engages in a lot philanthropy causes, again mostly related to helping "troubled youth".
Common misconception, even among Christians. Turning the other cheek relates to persecution "in [His] name", ie, for being a Christian. Not to everything.
What they should do, the logical thing to do, is put in two damn drives. Storage is so fricking cheap these days, it makes no sense that they don't. One obviously holds the OS, with room to spare for updates and DLL bloat. The other is the actual user drive. Advertise 128gb, give 128 gb.
Over simplifiecation. A half truth is still half a lie.
Your cat's food has been pasteurized before beng turned into kibble. This is done to prevent your cat from getting sick. Cooking is simply primitive pasteurization. Your cat can survive just fine off cooked food off your dinner table, it being usually fortified with nutrients somewhere along the way.
The idea of cats going sterile relates exclusively to giving your cat cooked meat, and no other supplements. Cat's bodies (all cats, including big ones) break down proteins quicker than most other animals, meaning they require a far larger supply of protein than many other carnivores. Additionally, by nature cat are also missing the ability to create the amino acid Taurine in their own body from the foods they eat. Taurine is related to brain function, eyesight, and reproduction. Taurine, and all other amino acids, are found in meat. Cooking meat breaks down Taurine and other amino acids. As humans, we can still get sufficient amounts of the stuff from cooked meat to supplement what our bodies are able to generate. Dogs same thing. Since cats cannot make the stuff, they require far larger amounts of it, and if fed exclusively cooked meat, would need to consume so much cooked meat that other health issues would develop, chiefly obesity.
Combined these factors mean cats need lots of real animal protein, and thus the concept of giving your cat raw meat instead of cooked. Note that this all occured before the creation of kibble as we know it. Note that most cat foods are fortified to supply all the amino acids they need, even after processing into kibble.
Cooking doesnt get more energy out of food. you can't add energy to the food that wasnt already there just by shoving a hunk of meat into a fire. Cooked food will have either the same aggregate energy, or less. Usually less (fat/grease running off, vitamins/protiens breaking down, etc).
No, what cooking does is : -increase the safety of the food: less likely to make you sick, increase the fitness of the population, and also leads to the next one which is... -create more potential sources of food: -Grog, you no eat pig, get worms. -No, Grog figure out, shove pig in fire, no get worms. -You so smart Grog....and this one then leads to... -increase the shelf life of food: cooking is one of the earliest food preservation techniques. food that doesnt go bad, or does so slower, increases the mobility of the population, makes possible to survive a few days even weeks between food sources, etc.
But get more energy out of food with less effort? Basic science fail. Sorry.
only because it is not the overriding charge. the primary charges are federal felonies relating to interferring/tampering with the mail. you absolutely could still be charged with theft but they typically dont because one of hte federal charges is along the lines of "theft of the mail" and usually they dont charge you twice for the aspect of the crime.

I dont see that he said anything outlandish to desrve hatred. He simply argued against the position of "races dont exist". He has a point; the races do exist, and they bring with them certain biological differences. And since that's all he said, I think you're overreacting a bit. Let's wait until he actually says something bigoted before crucifying him for it.
they are when that one country represents nearly their entire customer base. they are when that one country represents nearly all of the manufacturing contracts for products "made in china". if the US goes down, China goes with it. China is trying to grow their economcy, not kill it and cause another revolution.
See poster above me. Nutshell: 1st world - Allied against communist Russia (US, Europe, Canada, etc) 2nd world - Allied with communist Russia (USSR, Poland, Cuba, etc) 3rd world - Not allied with either side. Typically such places were small countries, low population and/or poor population, such that it became the stereotype and now the term "3rd world" is accepted as describing a poor underdeveloped (compared to US/Europe) country, rather than it's original meaning.
Because loggers are greedy SOBs with absolutely zero business acumen and only want to cut everything now for a quick buck, not make many times more revenue and garuntee profitability for years to come by only cutting certain trees, and maintaining a healthy forest to keep themselves in business for years and years to come. No sir, neither they nor the many forestry departments charged with overseeing logging ever think like that. They know nothing about running a business and just want to kill some trees.
Seriously though, logging hasn't been performed in that manner for over a century. Even the outfits that own their own forests and the land they sit on, rather than cut in nationally held lands, even they don't clear cut. They aren't stupid; if they were they wouldn't stay in business long, and most of these are family outfits many generations deep.
The idea of loggers as environmental bogeymen is a myth, at least in the western world. Much like Ducks Unlimited (an organization of hunters) being one of the biggest supporters of waterfowl conservation, so to will you find the logging industry one of the biggest supporters of maintaining the forests for years to come. They aren't stupid.

no but MMOs that use math rolls essentially function in a phased turn semi-realtime mode. its not black and white, but more grey.

Nutshell:
1st world - Allied against communist Russia (US, Europe, Canada, etc)
2nd world - Allied with communist Russia (USSR, Poland, Cuba, etc)
3rd world - Not allied with either side. Typically such places were small countries, low population and/or poor population, such that it became the stereotype and now the term "3rd world" is accepted as describing a poor underdeveloped (compared to US/Europe) country, rather than it's original meaning.
3rd world has been bastardized to mean any underdeveloped country and is in the common usage as such.
However his usage of "2nd world" is compeltely incorrect, both techinically and accepted usage.
