I'll take a 1920x1200 17" screen over a1920x1080 17.3 any day of the week. That 10+% extra height comes in handy for a lot of the stuff I do. 3D is a fad as far as I'm concerned, so no bonus points for me. All just IMO. People's preferences are going to vary. Just saying the screen thing isn't something that everyone is going to agree is superior.

Right, because he'd say that knowing it was execs in some corporate building making those types of decisions, not the engineers in the plant trying to fix that thing.
You are an idiot if you believe that. Otherwise, just a troll.
You should reread that article you linked. Myth doesn't mean what you apparently think it means. The article says it will happen, but slowly, and not completely.
No one was considering them vs peer reviewed journals. The grandparent was quite clearly differentiating between MSN and Weekly World News are reliable vs tabloid.
CNN/Space.com are clearly in the the arena of MSN.
Remember, it took 40 years to discover that the Piltdown man was a hoax, and in those 40 years, thousands of people got their masters and doctorates based in part on their thesis using Piltdown man, and not one of those degrees were ever revoked.
Apparently you don't understand what a scientific degree is for or means. It means you have learned to apply the scientific method to further mans knowledge. It doesn't mean everything you ever study has to be 100% right, or based on only things that are 100% right. If so, no one would dare ever claim to get a degree because we can never know we are 100% right. We can know we are closer to the truth by disproving other theories. You are confusing science with religion because you don't understand science.
Bear in mind that these racing cars are running on the same diesel you put into your rattly old 406HDi - the engine is basically the same technology made into a V12.
Not quite...
The Audit V12 is TDI, not HDI.
TDi stands for Transistorised Diesel Injection
HDi stands for High Pressure Diesel Injection
You call it the same technology, autoblog calls it a quantum leap in diesel technology.
I'm in Ohio. It's 29 F. outside right now. The incandescent light bulb next to me is 100% efficient. So why am I being told I'm not allowed to use them anymore?
The efficiency of them on the cold months more than makes up for an loss of efficiency in summer compared to CF bulbs.
"No it does not. You're under the impression that all the formations, and their layers are like some sort of "cake" and that by punching a hole into it that the layers are allowed to mix. There is something called cement casing that is applied to the wells after drilling, but before fraccing."
You are assuming the casing is always created flawlessly. You are assuming that it is never fractured when holes are blown in another part of it. You are assuming it will never degrade over time. These are HUGE assumption when you are pumping neurotoxins and carcinogens into the ground under pressure.
The large number of examples of people who suddenly have flammable water after fracking has occurred nearby should be your first, and incredibly obvious clue that the casing is not always a perfect barrier.
". You made a good attempt to explain it, but it based on several misconceptions about how drilling and fraccing is actually performed."
I'd say the misconceptions are yours. I have friends who are geologists as well. Yours seem to work for the oil/gas companies. I know the petro engineers do. You have bought what the oil/gas companies have said hook line and sinker.
A well 10 miles away can easily be effected. A well doesn't always (or even often) go to a standing pool of water directly below it. Water underground often travels in stream or rivers underground. It may move slowly through gravely media, but it does travel. The drilling process opens a hole between layers that are normally in the ground, allowing movement of oil from one layer into the water table in the other. In addition to worries about oil/gas contamination, the soup of neurotoxins and carcinogens used in the fracking mix also may contaminate the water table. We are going to see a lot of destroyed water sources come from fracking, which will make water unusable for human construction all over the country. And once those contaminates are in the water table, there is no way to flush them out.
As the other poster pointed out, there are LOTS of us using it in non-political bullshit ways every day. It can be very handy. Just because YOU don't use it or have a need for it, doesn't mean others don't. I don't use facebook, but I understand other folks find it useful.
They did what one set of economists said would be best. Others said different. Neither really knows, they were guesses. Our economic modeling just isn't good enough to tell what would have happened, but feel free to bash it because your horoscope said it was the wrong thing to do.
We spent that much in attempt to stop things from getting much, much worse. Many economists were predicting a repeat of the great depression.
Would it have been that bad? Did the money spent even work? Would the economy be better if we spent even more? I don't know. And neither does anyone else. Our models just aren't that good.
Nokia is still 10x iOS and you are trying to tell me it's below Android with those numbers. Here's a clue, not every phone not from Nokia is running Android.
Sure, there's a lot more competition these days, so they make a lot of profit rather than lots and lots of profit. That doesn't make them a smaller market than Android and/or iOS today though.
They are still selling more phones every year. Their business is growing. They just aren't they only real player anymore.
Slashdot Mirror
One of the red hotspots is.... "St. Petersburg, Ohio".
If you zoom in, you will find out that's a road/cemetery by that name. Nothing else is there.
I have to disagree with you on the screen.

In the context of the status planet as it was understood at the time, it was STILL a stupid thing to say. Especially to a reporter.
If you understood science at all, you'd understand that.

But Maemo was not. And they were just merging it with Moblin to make MeeGo.
Compact Fluorescent bulbs are 9 to 11% efficient.

consumption, not construction. Damn spellcheck.

Or shortened it, depending on what economist, with what model, you talk to. Then there's the variable of how much to do it, vs doing it at all.
But I see you've swallowed one view hook, line, and sinker.
I see your reading comprehension isn't that good.

Nokia is still 10x iOS and you are trying to tell me it's below Android with those numbers. Here's a clue, not every phone not from Nokia is running Android.
No, I mean about a billion.
Elop told Engadget today that that wasn't true.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/15/debunk-elop-never-said-microsoft-is-paying-nokia-billions-of-do/
They are making money. About a billion a quarter in net profit.
I do agree they need changes and the MS one was the wrong one. They should have invested heavily and faster in Meego/Maemo.
Sure, there's a lot more competition these days, so they make a lot of profit rather than lots and lots of profit. That doesn't make them a smaller market than Android and/or iOS today though.
They are still selling more phones every year. Their business is growing. They just aren't they only real player anymore.
um, NO. Android outsells it in SMARTphones. Include dumbphones and Nokia is way, way ahead.

I won't call your post bullshit, merely uninformed. You might try that with someone else next time so you don't appear to be such an ass.
Yep. The best headline seen since this all happened was:
"Microsoft buys Nokia for $0 Billion."
