But what if God used a prototype system where he created different beasts off previous designs or templates? And he left in commented out blocks of code from previous versions (junk DNA) because he was too lazy to remove it all.
This demonstrates the great flexibility of an unfalsifiable premise.
Classes in grade school cannot be expected to cover every detail regarding the subject. It is acceptable and necessary for kids to take some things on authority. Then the more detailed reasons can be explained over time when the students are ready for them.
You conjure up a straw man argument. It's true some teaching isn't done properly, but that isn't a sufficient argument to remove teaching altogether. There is a lot of survey knowledge that can be learned at a young age, before all the detail is filled in. You would remove all science from education?
I think you are overplaying the cost of the projector. It's really pretty simple technology.
The polarization model loses half the light at the projector. The LCD shutter glasses loses half the light at the LCD shutter, so there is not difference in brightness.
The polarization timing problem requires much less precision than the LCD shutter timing.
If this gets big, then the ISP companies will be sure to respond. Bittorrent doesn't reduce net traffic; it just moves it around, adding its own overhead. The ISP unlimited bandwidth model works because most people don't use most of their bandwidth. If users become the servers, this puts more strain on the ISPs. ISPs will pass the increased costs to the customers, and/or limit the bandwidth of them (especially upstream).
The consumer might pay a little less to the publisher to download, say, a game. But the total cost the consumer has to pay will most likely rise, thanks to an increase in ISP fees.
Anyone who has read Dilbert knows that management doesn't want productive workers. They want drones. And one of the best ways to ensure zombie-like submission is to completely eliminate natural light. It's why there are no windows in most office buildings.
You guys are all overreacting -- as if this will be the end all be all of identification.
This won't be used solely except perhaps for minor barriers to entry. You don't need to worry about some guy having the same vein pattern as you, since the chance that this guy is also trying to defraud you is pretty small. A criminal might share a pattern with some other people, but how is he going to find out which people he matches without some inside access to the system?
You people worried about not reading due to various biological reasons: it may be an inconvenience, but you aren't gonna be locked out of your account. What do you do if you forget your password nowadays?
And those who say that the system is insecure and bypassable. No system is secure. At least this is probably more secure.

Microsoft's biggest competitor is itself.
If your business relied on MS-DOS and Lotus 1-2-3, and the next version of MS-DOS didn't run Lotus, why the hell would you upgrade?
MS isn't that stupid.
I thought it was gonna be an article about old-timers who wouldn't give up their precious MSDOS running 386s because it ran their Lotus 1-2-3.

Each horizontal band line is a separate test or group of tests. Clearly, gecko renders more lines correctly than IE. "better" can be quantified.

don't they only have to provide the sources for the applications?
It's kinda hard to take software screenshots of installation and boot process, unless you install in a virtual PC.
what's with all these hypothetical non-news articles?

If it's unsecured, that doesn't mean it's public. No, if it's broadcasted, then it's public.
The advertisers are still getting clicks. What do they care if the referring sites have no content?
Is there a science to version numbers? Or are they just chosen willy nilly?
I'm still waiting for transporters to come out.
I hope the prisons in Nigeria are more fun than the prisons here.
Solar might produce enough to live off of, but it certainly won't produce enough to fuel our consumption based economy.
We measure things in joules, ergs, and electron-volts. Not BTUs.
You can make a numerical approximation to arbitrary accuracy. You just don't have a closed form solution.
I wonder if this was a failed attempt at engineering a 3D TV.
What's wrong with wanting money? Not everyone can subsist on rocks and mud, you know.
HTML is usually smaller than the bittorrent itself, so there would be no saving there, but for downloads and some images, it's a no-brainer.

I assume that includes some non-recurring engineering costs.
