    No. You should read more.

    Wow. In future, you should read what you post before clicking "submit". You just straight-up contradicted your argument. I hope that was on purpose.

    "You"? I don't think the guy you're replying to had anything to do with the space programs.

    You missed the word "rational" in the post. With rational people, percentages do matter.

    Nothing, as all Windows 7s show the file size at the bottom. The jackass who stated that it doesn't clearly can't read what's on his screen.

    Every single time a democracy is toppled by people seeking a dictatorship. For a list, see a few gleaming gems in the last 100 years of US foreign policy.

    "My" coal power plants? I'm not from the US. Where I live we rely on nuclear power more than the US does (26% versus 20%).

    Chrome now has a built-in PDF viewer, that doesn't hang anything, and is sandboxed. It's great. Much faster than Adobe's crap.

  14. Re:pdf on Firefox 5 Details: Sharing, Home Tab, PDF Viewer · · Score: 1

    You seem to think the only way of viewing PDFs in the browser is via a non-sandboxed Adobe plugin. That can't be right. Just look at Chrome's built-in PDF viewer. It's not from Adobe, is really quick, and fully sandboxed. It's genius.

  15. Re:pdf on Firefox 5 Details: Sharing, Home Tab, PDF Viewer · · Score: 1

    Chrome's built-in PDF viewer is excellent. It's not from Adobe, and is quick and has yet to break rendering any PDF I've come across. I think Chrome's doing a great job giving people a really easy-to-use browser that is secure, blazingly fast, and extensible. Taking up UI space for menu options people rarely use (when compared to actually using the browser) seems a bad idea, which is why I'm glad Chrome did it. I don't want to dedicate a bunch of my screen real estate to features I seldom use - that makes no sense to me at all.

    Coal particulates in exhaust from coal-fired power plants kills 13,200 people in the US alone every single year. That's a more useful statistic than simply mining, which as has been pointed out affects both coal and uranium.

  17. Re:Souls? on Robots Dive Deep To Solve Airliner Crash Mystery · · Score: 2

    The term "souls on board" is commonly used by pilots and ATC to describe how many people are on a plane. I guess the submitter might have got confused somehow.

    Read my post again. I merely stated that even though there is no currently-provided mundane explanation (which is generous), they aren't automatically anything weird.

    5-years-old it is. No wonder the field of "ufology" is so laughed at if 1% of it is comprised of people with your lackadaisical attitude towards actually understanding anything.

    You really don't understand rational thought. And not only that, your hubris is compelling you to tell everyone just how confused by it you are. Wonderful work! You're the poster-child for irrational conspiracy theorists.

    When they are light-coloured, and illuminated against the dark sky by the light pollution coming from the town/city they fly over. It's not unheard of.

    You should have read the link I posted - it explains everything. Live feeds on CNN don't change a thing. The lights didn't move, the camera moved. The lights were very close to the horizon, which is why they looked the way they did. It has been debunked - whether you want to keep on playing Mulder is up to you, just don't pretend you're taking the objective high ground.

    There you go again. You can't say anything, so you just stop talking. How old are you? 5?

    Aah. The ol' "get out of a losing argument free" card. I used coarse language, so you stop arguing. You have no argument. It's fallacious from its inception. You are guilty of employing the same thought processes employed by conspiracy theorists the world over - tailor the evidence to fit your explanation, instead of the rational approach of tailoring your explanation to fit the evidence. You are playing X-Files. Saying otherwise doesn't magically fix your irrational approach to understanding.
