Your race and culture is a middle eastern extremist? Well, then I suppose you have the right to be offended. Otherwise, you're simply making bigoted assumptions.
If someone builds a warp drive out of the blue, I predict the first major space station built using it will be called the NEO-PO. For Near Earth Orbit Patent Office.
Just a though here... but anyone who is really concerned about their computers performance, even web browsing, should make sure their hardware is capable of handling what they ask it to.
So: If firefox is that slow for you, then you don't have enough RAM. I certainly have never had problems, and I leave 6~12 tab sessions open for hours at a time.
No doubt about it, Final Cut Pro is a great program. I'm not arguing with you, just pointing out that there are extremely useable alternatives to going the Mac route.
That's true. Macs have in fact been the go-to standard for professional AV producers. However, this summer I worked for the A/V Section of the Governor's office in AK, and we had all windows machines. Why? Because they're modular. Like was said earlier, "Buying a windows machine for video encoding and DVD authoring is like buying a Mac for games." Well, fair enough. But buying something off the shelf and using it for professional purposes is just as dumb.
We used P4 based systems (good for Premiere and AfterEffects) with a dedicated Pinnacle capture card. So we'd be working on editing video, but the next second having to play webmaster, or download pictures off the governor's camera. So, can you do all this on a Mac? Assuredly. But if you're going to really by doing anything hardcore, you can't just expect Nvidia or ATI products to do it for you- because they just do VIVO work as a "Oh, and that too" feature.
Well, technically wouldn't sterilization be anti-evolution? I wouldn't go so far as to say that there's no such phrase- after all, if there wasn't, and he just said it, well, now there is a 'anti-evolution' phrase. I agree however- it may be cold and cruel, but sustaining people who don't have the resources to sustain themselves is simply illogical.
Well, we live in a 3 Dimensional world, but the images projected in our eyes are both 2D, and upside down. We simply learn to process the images we receive into a normal, 3D enviroment. So one could argue that we live in a 2D world that is transformed into a 3D one by pure brainpower.
The Maximum PC example was for Audio. I'm not saying that you can't tell the difference- it is there, and for me, you, and I'm sure others, it's noticeable. Personally, good audio is more important to me then good video, but all I'm trying to say is that the average person can't tell (the ones who buy a HD set and no HD receiver/DVR), and since they are the target audience for this kind of thing, that makes a big difference on the end impact.
All I can think of when I hear the posts of people saying 'My 59,000 inch TV makes DVDs look like crap' is two things. Firstly, get better movies, so you pay attention to the damn thing and not your TV, and secondly, that's complete nonsense. As a projectionist who has worked plenty with 35mm and DLP projectors (the $200,000 ones, not the Dells), I can honestly say that while the difference is striking between HD content and DVD, it's not nearly so bad as the difference between DVD and VHS. While the difference is there, it is not phenomenal, and you only notice if you watch a lot of HD content, and even then it seems more psychosomatic than anything.
I can think of two recent examples to support this. The first is the recent article on Maximum PC when they took a bunch of people, and played their favorite content back to them using various different encoding methods. Out of 29 total tests, only 9 were correctly identified.
The second is this video [ugoto.com]. Either way, I think the majority of the HD debate is just an excuse to brag about a nice TV.

Because if we phase in future technology gradually, we won't all suddenly be stuck with obsolete vehicles when gas shortage hits the crisis point.

What's the fun in doing robot experiments if you don't get to drill into any brains? I'll tell you, no fun at all.
Don't be silly. You run! Gordon Freeman, after all, is invincible.
Pixelantes, of course! Eat your heart out, Jack Thompson.

Well, you are indeed entitled to your opinion. This is the free world after all! You will always have the right to be wrong.

I think I meant Hawking's, which may still be incorrect, but as long as it's grammatically correct, I can live with it.
What about his groundbreaking work on Black Holes? (Hawkings Radiation, anyone?) Stephen Hawkings is as close as we have to a modern Einstein, IMHO.
