seriously i don't get this attitude that it's ONLY 720p. only 2 years ago people would cream their pants over 720p, and now it's somehow defunct?
have people even SEEN a 720p movie on a good tv? it's amazing. and to qualify i HAVE a 1080p 70" inch, and i still select 720p movies over 1080p because of speed of the download and the quality difference is at time not noticable.
it's not just the raw processing power we lack, but the programming language to handle such massively parallel processes.
think of the millions of processes being controlled by the brain at any given moment, on a practical level we lack an OS that could even compare.
each neuron isn't like a transistor, it's more like a cpu on it's own and there are billions of them in a brain. i'm not saying we won't get there at some point, but i do think it's damn site further off then a few decades.
"If the material is taught in a logical scientific way"
there's your fatal flaw - global warming as it's proposed today by most sources is bad science. CO2 has never been considered the driving force of climate, and serious climatologists give you a funny look when you say it.
it's teaching a point of view, not an actual science, history or skill. as much as creationists and global warming nuts would like to think, their views aren't proven to the point i'd be comfortable having them taught as fact in a class room.
yes, whats the point to anything if it's not a 100% bullet proof solution? you may as well crawl back in your hole and not post on/. because whats the point right?
we aren't looking for little green men you retard, even finding a sign that life existed there at some point would be huge. we know mars had liquid water at some point which suggests an atmosphere and hospitable conditions.
please just go back to watching the "power hour" on discovery channel and stfu while the good people are NASA continue with their amazing work.
I'm challenging the generally held assumption that CO2 is driving climate change, yet somehow i'm the ostrich? ok if i'm an ostrich you are surely a sheep.
while i'm having trouble googling to find my source (swamped in a sea on nonsense blogs on rising sea levels) i'm positive i've seen an article on rising levels of cloud cover (your H2O vapour).
I would also point out that while you were an eager beaver pointing out the supposed flaw in my argument you left your own gaping hole - Why does rising C02, which is a very minor greenhouse gas, instantly mean it's to blame? you've found a correlation not a CAUSE. This is why i hate the current global warming "science" and wish you'd atleast step up with some decent arguments.
your comment is typical of all global warming idiots, you don't even understand your own imaginary problem.
water vapour is THE green house gas. the majority of the greenhouse effect comes from water vapour. hence why everyone is trying to tell you people CO2 doesn't drive climate change.
you need to learn how to read. no where in that does it state no arctic sea ice by 2013. As expected it's more number pulling from assholes.
Which justifies my tree hugger comment and comfirms them being incapable of making a serious argument and not being serious about their crusade at all.
either i'm wrong and tree huggers ARE serious environmentalists, in which case they are totally useless and wasting their life if the arctic is indeed free of ice by 2013, having failed completely to convince the world that this impending disaster is real....
.... OR they aren't serious and just bangwagon jumpers, clinging to the lastest catch cry of the righteous, and the sea ice is still going to be there in 2013 (as i'm most positive it would be)

This is all that matters to me. the rest can sort itself out over time. twice the storage space is all you need to know.
I'd only agree to this if it meant immunity to any kind of legal action. otherwise, fuck off.
he is profiting from something he has stolen.. how is this not a crime and therefore illegal to let him profit from?
good if your management are smart enough to realise the value of the people who work for them, but usually they don't see this.

it's a shame you have to post as AC to say this as well i might add. me, i just take the karmic hit and smile.
i'll make a prediction of my own - this guy is after funding.

i would argument there is no such thing as "normal" internet use. it's a very personal thing that no 2 people are likely to do the same.

i do apologse for calling you an idiot, i jumped the gun a bit as i immediately thought you were a global warming nutter. my scinere apologies

2 opposing points aren't mutlidimensonal.
Which justifies my tree hugger comment and comfirms them being incapable of making a serious argument and not being serious about their crusade at all.
consider the following:
either i'm wrong and tree huggers ARE serious environmentalists, in which case they are totally useless and wasting their life if the arctic is indeed free of ice by 2013, having failed completely to convince the world that this impending disaster is real....
take your pick, because it's one of the two.
hydrocarbons are good for lots of things besides fuel, numbnuts.
tree huggers will march on the white house demanding the save titan from the evil corporations and their explotation of a defensless moon.
if they can do it WITH a warrant, they have already shown they will circumvent the warrant process when it's suits them. be it a valid use or not.
err, if you don't take the photo it won't be your iris in the water mark. jump the gun much?
but that's just good business practice, which probably doesn't make sense to them.
it's like the old days of intel releasing performance graphs for cpu's they aren't going to produce for 6 months, to current amd cpu's.
