That was the least substantiated thing I've read all day--and I've been doing a lot of research into Christianity. What evidence at all could you possibly conjur to even remotely assert that as a theory? I know it's only a theory, but c'mon--latching on to 'motifs therein' and to 'engage' in rhythms is dancing, regardless of mental or outward physical manifestation. That would insinuate that the brain is actually having attention diverted, anyway; if it's latched on to something else, then its attention is not in the fore.
Is this how far the Google love-fest goes? They claim to invade your privacy and your best response is "so what, so is everyone else".
Truly this is a forum of morons.
Alright, alright--I can't take this shit any longer. So seriously, let's look at some facts here.
First of all, this ad system is automated and autonomous. To dumb that down for all of these people like you, that means that no humans read it! It would be utterly impossible for google to do this by hand; they'd need hundreds of thousands of people to read through all of these emails. There's too much involved. This ties into my second point.
Secondly, why in the hell would google have people reading your email, except so that conspiracy theorists such as yourself can keep making shit like this up? What do they have to gain? Is google really in a position to steal your credit card numbers, give a flying fuck that your girlfriend lost her virginity on a tire swing in 5th grade, or that that burning sensation when you urinate isn't just a uti? They don't care! And if you retort with it's so they can get addresses and phone numbers, then that's bullshit as well, because I'd be willing to wager that google, along with most other big email companies, ask for those things when you sign up. There's no need! They have no reason to peruse your email other than with a script/applet to display appropriate advertisements for the text that's in your add. And aren't targeted advertisments a helluva lot better than seeing the same dating banner displayed everytime you open hotmail? Or the same "fuck the monkey in the ass and win a year's supply of free balloons" ads on yahoo? Christ, you people need to take a chill pill.
Thirdly--you're friggin' retarded if you use plain email for speaking about things you hold confident anyway! Like seriously--obviously you hold yourself to be at least slightly intelligent if you endowed yourself with the right to refer to everyone on this forum as morons. So lemme ask you something: do you use email? And if you do, what do you send on it? Out of what you send, how much of that do you care if people read? Let's say you don't want people reading any of it; you're the true privacy zealot. Unless you're sending encrypted, anyone can see it. No matter your mail service. It's not just like your email goes directly from your mail server to another across the internet via a ridiculously long piece of cat5 or oc, my friend. It hops, skips and jumps across many servers, 99% of which at least log, let alone cache those packets. And if you don't care if people read it, then why is there a problem with google in the first place?
Stop being reactionary assholes, and just chill out and stop speculating about google being the next Caldera/Microsoft/SCO/whatever.
OK, it can cut through paper with that accuracy and didn't destory it--I'm impressed. However, how deep would a laser like this be able to penetrate before it would be rendered impotent/would start destroying the material? Or isn't that relevant because of the apps this would be used in?
What's wrong with a "monopoly" if they offer the best service around?
Because once a business obtains the true ubiquity of a monopoly, they don't have to offer the best service around anymore--I don't think Google would do this with its current execs, but once the blinders are put on the majority, they could take them for all they're worth.
If there's one man I don't want running after me, it's Alan Greenspan. I mean, sure a slow trot would kill the man, but I'd be scared shitless from that Metamucil smell....then again that's what Metamucil's supposed to do, right?
No placebo effect--I asked him if he had a filter or not because I started noticing my symptoms going away. And the building is old, circa...I wanna say around '63? As far as filtration/circulation goes throughout that part of the building, it's none if you're that lucky. But, like other posts had mentioned, it's probably the large movement of air caused by people jostling around that compensates for the lack of a fan. But that's a real world scenario, and it works. Thanks a lot to the other posts I'm too tired to reply to, especially any ones that proved me wrong.
I'm in highschool, and my English teacher has an Ionic Breeze in his class--I have absolutely horrendous allergies and sinus problems, but as soon as I set foot in his class, it's beautiful. My sinuses clear up and I can breathe; it's incredible. And I was very skeptical at first (I mean, how seriously can one take those god awful commercials?), but when I took his apart to see the plates--man, just caked with dust. These things work, make no doubt about it.
And there doesn't need to be a fan--the difference in charge pulls the air. It's actual physics, and it definately works. Take a plastic spoon and rub it a bunch of times against wool. Then, go to your nearest sink and turn on the water so that you have a nice, smooth flow. Hold the spoon next to the water, and it bends near the spoon. Same principal.
I'd imagine that, even though they are transparent, the exploitation of that fact would be a little off. Especially as the devices get really really minute (which they will...what's the use of a computer consisting only of a screen if it cant display graphics?), I'd imagine that photons would be able to muck things up quite readily. Not even just the fact that photons can knock electrons around, but the fact that light could heat these babies up--not a very good thing for small traces. Unpredictable behavior is the last thing a technology that seeks to become ubiquitus needs.
I've done the same thing, though not with hiking. I've noticed that if I don't shower for say 3, 4 days or so, I don't smell at all. I'm 90% sure that this is because of the natural things in your skin. Most of the American public is way too hygiene obsessed--taking showers every 32 minutes and such. The problem therein lies because the body doesn't have enough time making up all the oils and everything else that were just Brillo-padded out of the skin for the ump-teenth time. By not showering non-stop, your body does the cleaning for you. Plus, you have healthier skin, better looking skin, and you don't have to waste all of your money on moisturizers like most people do. You have to do it regularly, though; the biggest problem is that your body gets used to not producing certain things. It's like an addiction; if you've done it your whole life, your body needs it to be done. However, if you haven't, or if you pulled a Thoreaux (sp?) or something, then it's not nearly necessary to bathe every day, and can be much better for you. At least those have been my observations. You wouldn't even know I'm a 'dirty' person if you met me, guarenteed. I'm 'dirty' because I only shower every 3 days or so because my skin has oils that do me well...good o'l society.
Who said [the ecosystem] needs to be managed? IMHO, the end justifies the means. We want the end result to support HUMANS, not Tigers, not butterflies. If they fit into what the ecology becomes, then dandy.
So, in other words, youre saying theres no value in creating a habitat that supports animals other than humans? That horribly nearsighted, in my opinion. I also think the ends justify the means, and what would more than bring certain plants and animals? It's a helluva lot easier than creating and trying to rely solely on huge factories 6 months away from home. Plants (and animals to sustain them/keep them in check) are incredibly easy to maintain, engineer, reproduce, and keep for long lengths of time. To not create an ecosystem would be damning to any future colonization to say the least.

This just in: "Google to define a new universal standard of internet measurement, called a G-Unit."
I take it they would be measured with g-strings?
They will combine SkyOS and .NET to form SkyNET.
Then, they'll build a robot with an Austrian accent and send him into the past to run against the governer of California
Hell, if the story gets good enough, I say we make a movie. Perhaps James Cameron would be interested in directing?
If there's one man I don't want running after me, it's Alan Greenspan. I mean, sure a slow trot would kill the man, but I'd be scared shitless from that Metamucil smell. ...then again that's what Metamucil's supposed to do, right?
At least now they'll have to do it with real currency

No measurable levels of filtration?
No effin' way.

Judging by all the advancements I've noticed in and from France over the past 50 years, I'd say the freezing of them is already accomplished.
I'd imagine that, even though they are transparent, the exploitation of that fact would be a little off. Especially as the devices get really really minute (which they will...what's the use of a computer consisting only of a screen if it cant display graphics?), I'd imagine that photons would be able to muck things up quite readily.

Sounds like nature took a que from the internet and enacted something to prevent that /. effect itself.
