I know you said that in jest, but I've seen a LOT of people make serious comments like that. Cats are acutally obligate carnivores, they can live entirely on protein and fat. They have absolutely no metabolic need for carbohydrates. Their digestive systems convert protein directly to glucose.
That makes sense to me. I used to like driving when I was younger...but now it's just a chore. I just want to get to where I'm going. I HATE long drives. If I had a car that drove itself while I did something else, did exactly the speed limit, etc, I would welcome it.
Pretty much, just look at the pretty aurora. Worst case scenario is some satellite communications will be disrupted. The atmosphere provides more than adequate shielding against such things.
They didn't have to discover Pandora. It is in the Alpha Centauri system, 4.37 LY from Earth. This solar system is unique in that it is our closest neighbor by quite a bit, and would thus be the logical first interstellar destination.
Wait until some company tries to say that people are violating their "intellectual property" by not following the rules in the box, and try to start suing people for it. I have so little faith in humanity that I fully expect to see this.
Sorry, that won't work either. The crust has lots of naturally occurring radioactive material in it. The deeper you go, the more stuff you find. A lot of the interior of the planet is kept warm by radioactive decay. And this is the ionizing stuff, not just EM. Plus, don't forget things like cosmic rays and neutrinos that can penetrate a great deal of solid matter. He also better not have ANY light sources whatsoever in this house. If he has so much as a light bulb then what he is claiming is false. Visible light is even higher frequency than his horrible 2.6 GHz wifi.
I have to agree here. The ONLY anti-malware type product I will allow on my Windows machine is Malwarebytes. Manual updates, manual everything. I run a scan once a week just to make sure I didn't catch a case of the stupids that week. Honestly, I don't even use noscript...adblock plus and flashblock take care of pretty much everything. I only run flash on sites I know...which these days consists almost entirely of youtube, homestar runner, and the WOW armory.
Probiotics are going to start being a LOT more useful than antibiotics. If you have a deadly bacteria, the best way to kill it is not to actually kill it with antibiotics (which generally kill everything that's not resistant to it), but kill it by flooding the system with beneficial bacteria that will compete with the harmful ones for resources and eventually starve them out. Antibiotics should only be reserved for cases where they are absolutely necessary, and a probiotic regimin should be prescribed after the antibiotics are done. Antibiotics also tend to kill a lot of beneficial bacteria, leaving a power vacuum where ANYTHING can take over very quickly after the antibiotics are done. Filling the hole with beneficial bacteria before anything else can get in is the best thing to do.
Indeed. I used Netflix 4 years ago or so for awhile (before they did streaming videos). I had thought recently about starting up my subscription again, especially when I heard about the streaming video service (when I saw Windows and Mac listed I figured it was decent). Then I read about it, found out it was Silverlight only, and dismissed my idea to use Netflix at all. I will continue to use bittorrent for my rentals. Hence, their decision to support Silverlight cost them a subscription.
I knew the Knight Foundation was real! Oh, how the kids in 4th grade used to tease me when I said I wanted to go work for them...
on KR it was called FLAG -- the Foundation For Law and Government. you misunderstanding that was why they teased you.
Actually, that's wrong. The Knight Foundation was founded by Wilton Knight, and did a variety of things. FLAG was just one particular group within the Knight Foundation, and that particular group was what Knight Rider focused on. This was made clear in the pilot episode.
Besides, you know what happens if you try to tap a supervolcano!

Blizzard agrees with you. WOW is pretty much untouchable in this regard, because *they don't allow anyone under 18 to own an account*. For a minor to play, their parent/guardian must register an account in their name and (this is the one case in which Blizzard allows account sharing) the parent/guardian is allowed to share each account with 1 minor child. When they turn 18 there is a procedure to switch the account over to their name.
MacOSX (and by extension the iphone OS) is based on FreeBSD. It's more or less a Mach version of the FreeBSD kernel, the closest comparison I can think of is mkLinux, except using the FreeBSD kernel instead. But your other points stand. The only reason to have "antivirus" running on any sort of *nix machine is to protect Windows machines by blocking Windows viruses at points like Samba and on email servers.
I'm extremely glad I finally ditched Verizon for Sprint 3 months ago. Sprint has better coverage and better service for cheaper. Even though my workplace provides a Verizon discount, Sprint was still cheaper. Not to mention with my Verizon phones I was lucky to even get a signal in the building I'm in. With my Sprint phone I get 3-4 bars consistently (all my coworkers with Verizon have noted this too). The 3 Sprint users here are the only ones that can get a signal without going outside. Anyway, I digress...I'm paying $15/month less with Sprint, unlimited data, unlimited text/pix, 1500 minutes/month, free nights/weekends, nights/weekends starting at 7pm instead of 9pm, than I was with Verizon, with unlimited text, but no pix, no data, and my company discount. Verizon has terrible phones, terrible service, and they are a ripoff in general. I switched on the advice of my roommate, who has had service with Sprint for 6 years and has never had any issues. Neither of us understand why they have a bad reputation.
I mean, the people who named the asteroid named it after Apophis in SG-1 because they were huge fans. Besides...by 2036, all we'll have to do is open a hyperspace window and send the asteroid through the planet. Just don't try to put a bomb on it, it will turn out to be made of naqadah and make an explosion equivalent to a supernova if that's tried. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naqahdah#Naqahdah
Ah that explains why Carter's ship was called the Hammond.
This was explained in the last episode of Atlantis. Carter was given command of the newest BC-304, the Phoenix. In an alternate timeline (see "The Last Man, Atlantis season 4 cliffhanger), it kept this name. That was the last anyone had heard of the ship until the last episode of Atlantis. Carter mentioned to Sheppard that she was being given command of the new ship, he said "the Phoenix?" Then she said "It's being renamed to the George Hammond." Then Sheppard said "Ah, I heard about that." Then Carter said "Yeah, heart attack. He was off-world at the time. He was a great man."
So basically, they made Hammond meet the same fate (off-screen) as his actor, and then dedicated the episode (and the new ship) to him. I thought it was very touching myself.
I watched my DVR'd copy last night and was immensely grateful for the "30-second skip" feature.
However...I have to ask. I saw about three minutes of clips with Lou Diamond Phillips when they were on the base. They plastered his name *all over* the ads for that show. I wouldn't call myself a fan, but I do consider him an "B-Level" actor easily. He's always done solid acting and reminds me of a younger Edward J. Olmos and would be a good "anchor" actor for the show.
Did I miss something? I didn't see him make it onto the ship? Did the actor have a falling out with the producers and get edited from the show or something?
-JJS
He did not. I missed it the first time too, but upon re-watching it (torrent rather than commercial ridden broadcast this time), I saw what became of him. He hopped into a 302 and took off to defend the base from the gliders. He ended up landing on the Hammond and going back to Earth when the planet blew up. He is intended to be a recurring character, who will make appearances when they "travel" back to the SGC via the ancient long range communication device.
