The average human body, consisting of about 1013 (10,000,000,000,000 or about ten trillion) cells, has about ten times that number of microorganisms in the gut.
Don't use the exaggerations as an excuse to ignore the real problem. The US did "run out" of oil, just a bit later thanks to Alaska discoveries. Unless Russia agrees to sell Siberia too, that's not likely to happen again. Imports are now double production. The consequences of this are in your newspaper every day.
If it's BS then prove that it's BS. (Hint: you can't disprove anything based on lack of evidence.
Easy. He is not talking about the conclusions, but the process - the (lack of) logic - being BS. A number of real scientists choose to believe "God" created the universe, but they don't claim scientific proof.
with the possible exception of treatment for back pain
And back pain has repeatedly been shown to respond to placebo treatment. So even though the spinal manipulation successfully treats back pain, that does not mean the pain had anything to do with vertebral alignment or "subluxations".
Because they really represent the lower class of western people,
If you ever visit the west, you are going to be disappointed. The real lower classes are very unlikely to go and live in China. Can't blame you though, for resenting people who do little work, flaunt their money and bang your chicks. Not fair, is it? Hmm... how is the demand for English teachers now? Would you recommend Shanghai these days? Or Canton?
Quite right that glasses are easier. Especially passive ones. I'm just looking for a geeky over-engineered solution for all the people here who complain about wearing glasses for 3D:-)
I don't see your cost argument. Prescription glasses cost $50+ here, where plastic sunglasses are $2.
If infection is a problem with existing single-use contacts, then I'm stumped.
What SIP providers do you recommend? I'd like to know,
I doubt that, unless you happen to live in the same country. Here, skype charges $60pa for an incoming POTS number, compared to $5 or zero for my SIP account numbers.
Where do you get skype that cheap?
Age of consent, and porn are two different things. In the UK, it is fine to have sex at 16, but film it and you are creating "child" porn. Of yourself.
The really sad part is that I've heard people say Muslims shouldn't have constitutional rights ("they are the enemy"),
I've heard people say that commodore64_love strangles kittens while masturbating. Its this what it takes to get a "+5 insightful" on slashdot nowadays? That and Hilter comparisons equating internment with eradication? This is sad. Citation needed please.
Its the same problem as the US. The only real options are candidates endorsed by, and subservient to, two parties who are much the same.
And why the hell haven't you thrown out the stupid queen yet, while we're at it? Are you really OK with having royalty?
Actually, the Queen is kind of cool. When she dies and Charles takes the throne, the monarchy's time might be very limited. At least here in Australia I think it will. The Queen has a lot more respect personally, than the monarchy in general.
Cheesy, most people and businesses have neither Skype nor SIP. They have telephone numbers, and you use Skype or SIP to dial an ordinary phone number. The latter is much cheaper, as there are countless SIP providers, whereas Skype is a proprietary / monopoly. The only reason I can see for Skype-Out is that it can sometimes work through a firewall that blocks SIP. But that never applies to using 3G on my phone.
First, you'd have to put the lenses in before watching and take them out after
Just when you watch a 3D movie. Seems a lot easier than a drive to the cinema. They would be single-use in sealed sterile packs, so not much mucking about. Very cheap to mass-produce too.
a polaroid 3D movie works is you have one lens polarized horizontally with the other lens polarized vertically.
No, no! Of course that would not work. I specifically said to use circular polarisation. Orientation of the lens does not matter, you just need to get each L&R lens in the correct eye.
Then there's the high risk of infection.
No - single use, sterile packaging. No its not expensive. Think of a packet of band-aids (small adhesive bandages), or the little sauce sachets or sealed napkins at your local junk-food shop. The lens itself is just plastic, with a laminate of polarising film. Just a few square mm. Mass-production cost is tiny.
Also, for your idea to work on a TV, every other pixel would have to be polarized 90 degrees from the ones adjacent. This sounds really expensive to me,...
Thanks for the long explanation of how not to do it. Yes, passive glasses/contacts currently need a projection system (such as RealD) and do not work with LCD/Plasma screens. I think you missed the bit where I said "You need a circular-polarising projector system".
Then why not rally against Skype, in favour of SIP? SIP providers can be much cheaper than Skype, especially for calls to mobiles here (Oz). Most high-end Nokia phones support SIP over 3G just as well as a cellular call. N900 treats SIP, Skype and Mobile equally. It uses g729, which is patent-encumbered but otherwise open, and there are alternatives.
There is a third alternative: contact lenses. You need a circular-polarising projector system, as used in cinemas, and matching contact lenses. It does not matter if the lens rotates.
But what about still photos? IMHO, they have far more to gain from stereoscopy, as they lack the motion cues. The last consumer '3D' camera I saw was far back in the film days. Why are there none here now? You don't need to worry about expensive processing, just view the photos on any 3D-ready TV or monitor. Maybe one day still photography will be a bigger driver of 3D TV sales than Hollywood is.
Nipples is an odd one - it is banned on 'instant', but not on 'suggest'. Google suggest offers sore, inverted, and pregnancy-related items. But every other word I tried from the list is banned on 'google suggest' too.

Sounds like Moss in the 8+ club.
Australia is in a competition with Canada for "best lapdog of the USA", he's as safe there as a peaceful protester at a G20 summit.
The current governing party even uses American spelling for its name.
I suspect he has too many ex girlfriends there to make it a happy place though.
You do realize this guy is an über-nerd and for many years was a hard-core hacker?

Of course, bacteria are much smaller than animal cells. Its a bit like saying cars contain more dirt particles than functioning components.

The I50 is a thermal imaging camera. How does that not make sense?
That famous study is from 1978. I think most doctors would know about it by now.

Ah ... looking at the photo, its not the nudity but the pose that would have caused objection. Very sexual.
