I believe the change was implemented in order to prevent phosphor burn-in on older CRT monitors.
Actually, blue was chosen deliberately because zinc sulfide silver (blue phosphor in CRTs) is more resistant to burnout than the other phosphors, thus ensuring more even color rendition over time. It was a feature, not a bug:-). With no burnout problems in LCD panels, they went with black.
Queue the 1/2" kevlar rope! A quarter mile of the stuff ought to do the trick. The worst part about lines jamming the propeller is that the line gets coiled up in the space between where the propeller and the hull meet, and the motion causes the prop to pull the propshaft out of the boat (with the engine attached).
My pirate ship is equipped with a bow-mounted motorized spaghetti twirling fork, arrr!
1) as people get wealthier they don't need as many children to "run the farm", so to speak. They in fact become an economic liability.
Nonsense. Every additional person is productive over his lifetime on the average. Plus, there is ever increasing capital wealth, multiplying productivity per person. My siblings and I are not on the farm (but we did work in my father's construction firm at one point). But if may parents' pension goes kablooey, there's enough of us producing enough so that they'll have no problems.
There is obviously an issue with regards to copyright in our society. Millions and more are sharing all the time. This points the finger at the issue being systemic. We need to educate people to enable a wider debate. That is the only thing that will lead to fair change. Piracy is not the answer.
You're not giving people enough credit. Sharing is the answer, and the're doing it. Copyright is going the way of "droit de seigneur" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droit_de_seigneur). Come to think of it, "copyright" in French is "droit d'auteur". Kinda makes the analogy a lot clearer.
The main trigger was about 10 years ago, when I suddenly developed a serious rash on my wrist under the watch. I carried it in my pocket for a week or so, to see what happened. The rash slowly went away, and a doctor told me that he'd seen quite a lot of watch-caused rashes recently. He didn't know what they were putting in or on the metal, but it wasn't anything good.
Overall, religions should have to pay their own way.
You have the wrong way around. Governments should pay their own way. Religions get voluntary contributions, while governments resort to force for their income.
But when a relevant percentage of the audience does not understand English, or when the presenter does not speak English, writing the entire presentation down on the slides and reading off the slides is a more effective way of communicating.
I know what you mean. I studied Greek Philosophy, using the Greek texts, while learning ancient Greek, which was being taught in Spanish, which in turn I was still learning as a third language (STL?). Oh, and the professors barely touched the board at all, mostly just holding forth while smoking. I am now a linguist by profession.
My understanding of our tests of entangled pairs have shown that they propagate at the speed of light. You'd still have the ~3 to ~20 min delay in communications with Mars.
Bummer. Interesting line of work though, congratulations.

Fuck the computer, I want his security blanket.
And I'll sell my unborn children for Schroeder's piano.
That's peanuts!

...I think that a phonebooth analogy ought to do pretty well here.
Sorry, this is /. It's gotta be a car analogy.
It's like punishing the driver of a car who gave a lift to a hitchhiker who had just committed or was on his way to committing a crime.
You insensitive clod!
I'm not a boatologist but ...
Best. Disclaimer. Ever.
Hmmm, IANAB. It's OK, but whatever floats your...umm...vessel. I ANAL is still more badass, but that's just my opinion--I am not a disclaimerologist.
7 trillion eV is really, really small.
That's actually eV/particle, so total energy depends on the number of particles at that energy.

would be pretty cool.
So is the salondesrefusés.com domain still available?

Does this mean I can't buy lottery tickets online anymore?
democracy? What is this democracy you say. I know about republic (for the good of the people; "for your own good"), but who has a democracy?
Switzerland?

And far as I can tell, the contact lenses, THEY DO NOTHING!
Except that Alpha Centauri's staggeringly advanced "alien" technology has solved this problem long, long ago.
Unfortunately, they have also developed staggeringly advanced spam filters that will dump our message in the "junk" folder.
