Surely a 1000 year old advanced civilization (they have been broadcasting for 1000 years), could solve the problem of weak signals OR amplification ? Considering what we can 'see' with Hubble, imagine what instruments we could use for detection in a few centuries.
I couldn't even install FarCry 2. And I'm a tech head who built his own machine. 2 months of tech support and forum searching couldn't solve it. EVERY other game runs perfectly including Crysis, Left 4 dead, dead space etc...
I wish I could get a refund but the box is opened.
I overclocked my 6600 quad core form 2.4 to 3ghz with no negative side effects, using simple windows software that came free with the gigabyte motherboard. The software automatically overclocks memory also. It's really simple these days. Saved me hundreds of dollars paying for a 3 ghz cpu, helping me render 20% faster
Prediction. Your friend is made redundant due to his slow pickup and non motivation to learn new technology.
You... end up running a blog that gets you hired at a new start up. Your prowess at picking up new apps and software thrusts you up into managment. You retire early.
Your friend end up working in sanitation where he is quite happy.
I was right with you until you brought up exercise.
I guarantee you the accident rate is much lower for people watching mountain biking than bikers throwing themselves down mountains.
If you want to solve the whole fitness conundrum I would suggest discouraging cars and encourage commuting with bikes or walking.
All this proves is that 2/3 of Americans are very stupid. I'll give the old-timers the benefit of being way too past it to care. But I bet most of this 2/3 are mid-western idiots praying for a factory to open locally so they can pay off their credit card debts.
If the government wants to make some progress they should forcibly swap out TV's for $100 laptops.
Get back to me when then have incorporated head tracking (which is already possible with a webcam).
A GREAT example:-

Head tracking plus this 3d depth technology would be amazing. Throw in Touchscreen and you have something really out there.
Who is worthy of this grant if not Tesla !
Jeez.
Yes their cars are high end, but they have always stated that they want the technology to trickle down to a domestic consumer car.
If it were up to me I'd give them the WHOLE AMOUNT.
The Detroit dinosaurs NEED to DIE. They are a symbol of everything that is wrong with the US.
"thinking you can force students to learn when biologically many of them aren't ready to do so"...is seriously fucked up thinking.
I think the biggest problem with education is ACCESS. If you go to a crap school, guess what, your less likely to succeed and vice versa. If you're parents don't read and watch tv all the time, guess what, so will you.
Instead of whining about some idealistic past when everyone was intelligent (never happened). I'd try and propose a solution. I would suggest the government roll out a $200 laptop program for AMERICA. Then connect all those laptops with cheap or free wifi / internet over power grid. Then roll out webcam based teaching with youtube streaming lessons to help nuture talent in kids. It's worth it for access to Wikipedia and Google alone !
Not a replacement for real school, more like additional specialist lessons a few times a week.
2001 was a complete failure when it was ORIGINALLY release, so what makes you think anything has changed ?
Today 2001 is revered with awe and is one of the prestige films that have made blu-ray worthwhile.
"order the text used from Amazon and then read the pirated electronic version."
and deny someone who has no computer the book and drive up the price for said person, whilst the book rots on your shelf / in your garage.

wtf planet are you living on ?
And exactly when was music 'authentic' ? I think you are pursuing a dream of music that never was.
Yes. It will be the first netbook to cost more than a laptop.
Word. Especially since we apparently can't detect most of the matter in the universe (Dark Energy + Dark Matter = 86%)

He's right. No one writes viruses and trojans like the Russia.

so unrealistic. If friends was real they'd all be doing drugs living in the Lower East Side
Netbooks Intel Atom processor blah, blah, blah...

Face it, Republican support anything that that funnels money up to the rich. And denounce anything that might do the opposite
Erm... Left 4 Dead Nuff said

Yeah, because all the other more balanced 'journalists' have done such a great job defending and searching out the truth during Bush.

Gotta love the MGM icon logo they designed for the film. http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en/thumb/8/8c/200px-Mgm-2001.jpg ...and ditched by MGM (even though it's way cool and decades ahead of it's time)
