Seeing something on Discovery chan. or somewhere that current technology (before this new tech) could find finger prints 1000's of years old. Do they really need anything better?
The first thing I think of when I see "HD photo" is 16x9. With most things video and digital moving to widescreen, I wonder when cameras will change to widescreen as their standard picture format.
On a TV show from the early 90's called "Beyond 2000" there was an episode that showed a lady hooked up to electrodes, controlling a computer character in a 3D environment by thought. I have often wondered where that technology had gone. With as fast as computer technology moves I thought it would have been here well before 15 years. I have Googled for info on that epidsode but can't find any.
Actually, I think you will find that children who are brought up in atheist homes are brainwashed into giving up their belief in the supernatural that everyone is born with.
I remember well what it was like when I was a child. I wasn't brainwashed into not believing in a "god", god and religion weren't talk about or discussed much if at all. The definition of brainwash is "To teach to accept a system of thought uncritically". You can't brainwash by not talking about something, conversely the standard "preaching" from church and religious people fit the definition perfectly.
Eventually we will be able to watch any movie or anything instantly "on demand". When we reach that time would there be any reason to own movies or TV shows etc on DVD or Blu-Ray or whatever?
Is that they are brainwashed to do so nearly from birth. People who don't grow up in religious homes can look at objectively and imo see what a load of crap it is. That being said, I believe church is a good source of "community" and support structure.
potentially killed an unknown percentage of current sea-life.
I don't disagree with your statement, I understand that there are sea "creatures" that can handle salinity variations well, salmon are born in fresh water rivers but live in the ocean. The majority of sea-life is not that "flexible". The food chain is delicate, the creatures that do survive would like have no food, which is what I meant by "indirectly". Although nature changes/adapts well, it can't do it in a few months.
OK, that doesn't really change my point. If the ENTIRE worlds ecosystem was destroyed it would take some time to revive it (probably millions of years) if it wasn't beyond recovery. They were told to take enough food for the year on the arc, what did they eat when they stepped foot onto a completely world. it takes about 4 months for carrots to grow from seed (for example) that's a long time to go without food. When the water did "recede" there would be no fresh water anywhere anymore, plants don't grow well in salty soil and we don't do well drinking salt or "salty" water. If there were no fish left, where did the current ones come from? I don't believe Noah had any fish tanks on the ark.
Do you know where our drinking water comes from? It is filtered through rock and sits in vast reservoirs (lakes) deep under ground, I have never heard of someone digging a well and coming up with salt water. And even if the underground springs were salt water, the rain certainly wasn't. So maybe the salt level is only reduced to 25% or 50% or 75%, still enough to kill most(if not all) sea-life and eliminate the only food there would have been to eat.
The vast majority of sea life is VERY sensitive to the salinity of the water they live in. The sudden addition of fresh water would dilute the salt water to about 1/7 or 1/8 and would have either directly or indirectly killed all sea-life, completely destroying the only ecosystem left.

I would say that's more akin to moneys trying to kill a victim by flinging poo at them. The stick is a weapon crafted from thier environment, not secreted from them.

Caves can be dangerous.
It's not real powerful but it runs on light. Very similar to this.
Maybe it's this.

You have to be F***ing kidding.

Yeah for the 1%!

I see a major increase in the amount of conservatives believing scientists.
No, this would.

*edit* It is supposed to say "when they stepped foot onto a Completly BARREN world". I am next to positive it said it when I submitted it.

We need to nip this in the bud, before they learn to ride horses, shoot guns
