Sorry, but Iran is a theocracy. The Revolutionary Council can override the President on any issue. Khatami was actually quite progressive, but it went nowhere because Iran's "democracy" is just for show.
Fifth Element was not only a good movie, but it was visually engaging enough to be a prime candidate for an HD release. In fact, the Superbit DVD release of Fifth Element is widely considered to have some of the best picture quality of any DVD.
You don't "see gravity." You see objects fall. Likewise, you can see organisms change over time. Furthermore, natural selection has been observed as the agent of evolution, whereas neither Higgs Bosons nor gravitons have been observed at all. We know that our understanding of evolution is imperfect, but we know that our understanding of gravity is in some way fundamentally flawed, since our current understanding of it is incompatible with other theories. In many ways, our understanding of evolution is better than our understanding of gravity. A layperson might not be aware of this, but they might not even be aware that gravity is an attraction between all mass objects.
Unfortunately, poorly-written Flash is far more ubiquitous, and used it situations where it is unnecessary. I can understand my browser using a lot of CPU time if I'm using some Java applet, but if I'm reading/. I shouldn't have to deal with a slowdown.
The 50's saw the end of the studio system. I'd argue that the games industry is still moving toward a model of "let's churn out as much as we can as fast as we can while we can still sell something," not away from it.
Never mind that Halo PC started outselling Doom III at a time when Halo PC had been out for months, and Doom III for weeks. Halo PC was one of the crappiest ports ever, and it still did quite well.
Yeah, it was really tough back in the 40's. I don't know how my grandparents survived using stone tools. But there are greater concerns than that. Have you ever seen the movie WarGames? Apparently we have to worry about computer hackers launching nuclear missiles too.

Some people believe there is such as thing as justice, and that it is more fundamental than the laws of a state.
Apple doesn't innovate, but they bring innovations to consumers in a form they can actually use.
Which is a lack of pirates.
Did you take the article to mean that they are trying to measure climate using 9th century tools? Or are you just being obtuse on purpose?
Your attempt to parody the situation doesn't fit in quite as well as you might like. The problem is with the timing, I think.
True. Jobs is more smartly dressed.

If you had just held back a little bit, you would have had a decent troll. You only really gave it away about 3/4 of the way through.
Yes, but it's not as bad as the fallacy jocum super caput.
Apple is dying again, huh? Clearly it was a mistake to switch to an operating system based on BSD :)

Too bad Newton's law of gravity has been refuted.
Orders of magnitude more.
Fortunately, climatologists and meteorologists have a slightly better grasp of the difference between climate and weather than the parent post.
Just make sure it's not from Islay, lest the whisky should make the computer hotter.
The first attempt was done with a Laphroaig bottle. Although he managed to cool the computer adequately, the whisky set him on fire.
Actually, it was Eratosthenes who first measured the Earth. Thales was the first philosopher.

Web browsing is fine. But Flash uses orders of magnitude more CPU time than it ought to.
You are thinking of the semantic web, which is XML based; however, XHTML is not inherently semantic, just easily-parsed.

Such puerile jokes. I'm sure Hans Blix would not be amused...
