Maybe it could sell to the audio/videophile crowd but it's biologically unnecessary to use more than three primaries. Our retinas have only three kinds of cone cells - roughly red, green and blue. Apparently some people have a fourth type of cone cell but it's extremely rare.
To put science and faith on the same level is insulting to scientists everywhere.
I doubt many scientist would see any competition between the two, it's like comparing mathematics with dance.
People talking to invisible men who live in the sky is an opinion... a wrong one.
This got modded insightful? First you say that God's existence is not verifiable, therefore it's purely opinion and speculation. You then break your own rule by claiming that it's definitely false. I don't follow your logic on that one.
Well actually, gravity is wrong. It's been replaced by the general theory of relativity. Sure, most of the predictions they make are the same, but gravity being wrong doesn't mean that absolutely all of it is wrong. So not believing in gravity doesn't automatically mean that you don't know how things fall towards Earth.
Still, it would be interesting to hear from an expert whether dynamic compression helps or hurts the sound quality when compressed using MP3 or similar. I would guess that it reduces quality since otherwise insignificant sounds are being brought up to full volume, therefore less likely to be ignored by the psychoacoustic model. So the less important sounds which might have been dropped are now taking up more bits in the compressed file.
That's true, a psychologist with a medical degree would be called a psychiatrist. A psychiatrist is able to prescribe medications as well as using psychotherapy and counselling.
Why can't God use effective tools such as evolution? Is it necessary for God to imagine stuff and it suddenly, immediately (even on OUR time scale) pops into existance?
According to the book of Genesis, when good created the world it was good. Before the first sin there was no death and therefore could not have been evolution before Adam and Eve. That is why you can't believe Genesis to be the word of God and believe in evolution at the same time.
Trident is the most primitive layout engine still in common use. Others like Gecko, Presto and KHTML have all been in continual development since IE won the browser war and halted progress. IE gained enough marketshare that further improvements to its rendering and standards support were unnecessary from a business perspective.
All of the major browser except IE are pretty consistant at interpreting CSS 2.1 so they are very easy to develop for.
There is nothing non-standard about the way this was implemented by Mozilla, it's a perfectly legitimate use of the link element. What is wrong is Google only sending this element to Firefox/Mozilla user-agents, what if another browser decides to implement this feature?
Wow, someone actually uses the email link option. I think you'd be the only one. It's quicker just to copy and paste from the address bar anyway, I think they should remove this redundant feature.
Secondly, middle clicking links to open them in background tabs is much easier than using the context menu.
Does it matter? As long you use a browser with support for current web standards (XHTML 1.1, CSS 2) you can choose whichever one you want. I prefer Opera but I'm glad to see Firefox is making progress at destroying IE and it's obsolete rendering engine.
That's pretty good I guess but if you code to web standards like HTML 4/XHTML 1.0/1.1 and CSS 2 you don't have to support specific browsers. You may test with them and work around their bugs but your site will work on any user agent that supports the standards it was written with.

Hey, you forgot to evaluate your expression, it returns true.
The mass-energy is converted into light, usually releasing two photons.

If it can't be tested then does it really matter either way? If you're only buying it for psychological value then a placebo would do just as well.
I had a similar idea for a new car alarm. When the vehicle is stolen, the brakes are deactivated and the wheels fall off.
Psychologists are not real mediacal[sic] doctors.

Are you making that point that Dvorak's trolls are taken seriously because they're well written?
at least now my monthly bandwidth statistics will look a little more legit to my ISP.
Would that be like, bandwidth laundering? CinemaNow is your casino alibi.
Clearly you're unfamiliar with the concept of a punch line.
Winter? I live in the Southern Hemisphere you insensitive clod!

IE (even version 7) is not a modern browser.

Actually that's not correct, the bug is only triggered when Gecko is in quirks mode. It is a browser bug but it can be avoided by using standard code.
Bale is literally nothng but skin and bone
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Google News is not beta anymore.
The Google Blog gives some more info on where Google X came from. They haven't pulled the post yet or added an explanation for it's disappearance.
I could have saved more than two seconds if your post wasn't so repetitive.
Just switch based on the accept header, it's not much of a problem. IE's lack of CSS support is the main problem.
