Not much we can do; we are no longer the dominant economic superpower; China will soon surpass us. About the only we really can do is ask them nicely to use a little Vaseline next time.
Sure, that's a much more rational explanation than tectonic plate theory, which couldn't possibly be correct since the planet is only 6,000 years old! Obviously, sin is the root cause of all "natural disasters" or "acts of God". So, if your church gets struck by lightning, then your parishioners have got some explaining to do!

Attractive supermodels should be required by law to date just as many overweight computer geeks living in their mom's basement as rich, attractive, professional athletes. We're being discriminated against! Tiger Woods is getting more pussy than we do!
Yes and no. The old style 3D with a blue filter for one stereo channel and red filter for the other can be watched on standard TVs or projectors. The new digital TV uses vertically polarized light for one channel and horizontally polarized light for the other, meaning that yes, it requires 2 projection sources. There is also a scheme I saw used at IMAX that used active LCD glasses synced to the movie via infrared transmitters above the screen so that they alternately shuttered the left and right eye as the right and left image was displayed on the screen. The obvious disadvantage: big expensive battery powered glasses they had to collect from customers and sterilize after every movie. These could also be shown with old projectors, and possibly with old TVs if you could find a way to sync the glasses with the video. Interlaced video has 2 frames anyway, it should be relatively easy to just make one frame the left and the other frame the right channel.
But Joone thinks the biggest hurdle for 3D isn't so much the cost as the glasses: people don't want to be encumbered by eyewear when viewing a film On the bright side, the glasses DO keep you from getting stuff in your eyes!
Couldn't you just form an symbiotic relationship with algae or photoplankton, allowing them to live inside you for protection in return for using them for energy? Aren't there already animals that do this?
Especially for fans of the classic TV series Leave it to Beaver Wait a minute... what exactly is a "Beaver Vibe", and why is the Leave it to Beaver website advertising them?
This is designed for doing serious data entry into the device, not everyday use. It wouldn't be useful for an Android phone since all your data can be edited directly from your Google login on any computer. I'm sure Apple also provides a mechanism to sync any iPhone/iPod/iTouch with a Mac, so for most people it serves no useful purpose.
Krave -- Why not just inject the nicotine directly into your bloodstream?
TV Hat -- I'm sure nobody will think of using this to watch porn while driving!
EarVibe -- Wait... are you sure these are designed to be stuck in you ear, and not somewhere else?
iType -- Actually not that bad an idea for those of us that have fingers larger than a Barbie, and thus problems typing on tiny touchscreens.
Phubby -- Aside from being ugly as hell, actually not that bad. Any idea how many times my phone has fallen out of my shirt pocket? And when I wear it on my belt, I usually can't hear it.
BabyPlus -- Why stick the headphones you already own on your stomach, when you can pay big bucks for this glorified speaker?
Unbreakable Phone -- Geeks regard the word "unbreakable" as a challenge!
Android Microwave -- It's need for voice recognition, 'cause telling your microwave "Please make popcorn now" is much easier than just pushing the Popcorn button! Unless this doubles as a refrigerator/freezer, I'm not sure what the added smarts buys you. Plus, using a touchscreen in a high-grease environment -- what a wonderful idea!
Electronic bidet -- My wife gets pretty much the same results with a recycled plastic bottle.
Fingerist -- If you'd like to feel like you're playing a real guitar, perhaps you should, you know... buy a real guitar!
CyberClean -- What isn't clear is, after you get the crap out of your keyboard, how do you get the crap out of the CyberClean? I generally just turn my keyboard upside down and bang it on the desk a few times, and yes, it's amazing how much kruft can be in an old keyboard.
Blackberry Presenter -- Couldn't you, um, just build this functionality into the projector?
iMini Pet iPod Player -- Anybody who thinks this is a BAD idea obviously doesn't have children!
This is Amerika, where you are entitled to your beliefs, no matter how unenlightened they may be, as long as you don't hurt anyone else. Personally, I feel that protesting at funerals DOES hurt innocent people, and that the best way to deal with these these "latents" is to show up at their rallies and engage in every sort of Public Display of Affection allowed by law in front of them, all the while smiling and telling them "we love you, brother!"
Unfortunately, there is enough ambiguous content in the bible that you can get almost any interpretation you want out of it, if you go into it with already strongly held beliefs and an intent to do so.
Personally, I believe God Loves Homosexuals (that's we he made so many of them!) and that Jesus, who was known for hanging out with and comforting the outcasts of society, would have had no problem with embracing someone whose sexual preferences were in the minority. Although the bible contains several proscriptions on homosexual behavior, the usual example cited (Sodom & Gomorrah) is a bad one, since these cities were destroyed for allowing the practice of homosexual rape, not mere homosexuality.
That reminds me... at Cape Lisburne, we had a really old navy Beacon for the airstrip which gave off enough EMI to light a florescent tube (no really, there was one on the wall). I swear, you really could feel it when you were in the shack. So I think it is highly possible that some people could detect being under high tension lines (I think lower frequency is easier to detect). High tension lines are also known to be able to light up florescent bulbs at a distance. I think sitting him next to the router and seeing if he can tell when it is off or on would be a much better test.

Due to the "Great firewall of China", don't all outgoing connections from China have to go through a government-owned proxy server?

Even worse -- mandatory midget porn!

Perhaps he would do a lot better if he stopped refusing to date non-aliens?
sometimes for more than a half hour after I stop That sounds like your ISP is throttling your connection... what provider do you have?

It can convert words to audio itself. Not necessarily
If you think that's bad, just imagine if the politically correct DOJ was designing all of the porn videos...
More likely they'll be called something like "Flying sperm protective safety glasses".

Male porns stars generally make about $200 per film. Females make $1500 and up. So, do those sub-$1000 movies just have an acting staff of five guys?

The GM corn has been proven effective at pest control, since it kills rats! This presents an exiting new marketing opportunity for Monsanto!
Perhaps those who aren't using 250GB a month should take it as a challenge.
Perhaps those who aren't using 250GB a month should start sharing more porn! Darn leechers!

Intel has equipped entire floors at Jones Farm with these (even coatings on the Windows). Yes, it makes cell phones unusable on those floors.
