If you had actually read the article, it's not about gravity's pulling on the eyeball. It's about brain fluids putting pressure on the back of the eyeball.
Second, the PC design was open (although that was only because in the beginning, IBM didn't really believe in the PC), so there was competition also in the PCs themselves.
False. The original IBM PC design was NOT open. Other companies reverse engineered the BIOS and created 'clones' - hence the term 'PC clone'. Some early clones had hardware compatibility issues with the original IBM PC design.
The people who are killing health workers... are not just Muslims. They are Salafi, an extremely fundamentalist Muslim sect...
So...when is a Muslim not just a Muslim? When he's a fundamentalist Muslim?
If you are going to state the those doing the killings are "not just Muslims", it's usually best to give an example of others doing killings as well who aren't Muslims.
Parental participation is NOT the problem. The problem is administration and the U.S. litigious attitude. School boards have members pushing personal agendas in terms of education, while stripping power and responsibility away from front-line teachers for fear of any potential legal action.
Teachers should be granted "legal guardian" status for every child in their class during the school day, superseding the parents. This would allow teachers to act more like parents and deal with kids, instead of having to throw their hands up in the air in frustration that Little Johnny has a rich, douchebag lawyer for a father.
Take a look at M-Disc. You'll need an M-Disc compatible burner, and the discs are more expensive, but the data is safe for up to 1,000 years. It's literally etched in stone. What is M-Disc?
I like to explore new places on my bike, and often map out my course in advance so I can stay on bike-friendly streets.
That isn't exploring. That's following a pre-determined route on bike-friendly streets. That is probably the furthest thing from exploring. In the urban jungle one of the best ways to explore is to get lost. You can't do that with GPS and a preplanned route.
I have a fairly primitive media centre setup. Old iMac + NAS (running a BT client) + XBMC connected to a large LCD TV. I have a respectable catalogue of movies on my NAS, full access to Netflix as well as online streaming of current TV show. When we have friends over, they are blown away by my setup. Most thought they could only do streaming through their local cable or satellite provider.
It's only going to get easier and easier for people to ditch their old-school ways.
You have to love the American system. They'll spends billions on the military trying to keep John Q Public from being killed by terrorists, but cringe at the notion of spending a dime trying to keep John Q Public from being killed by disease.
Everybody knows the U.S. intelligence community is paranoid as hell, and always listening. If not the NSA, then maybe the CIA, FBI, or any of the dozens of other intelligence agencies in the U.S.
None of these world leaders are shocked or surprised.
You are overgeneralizing. Marketing emails from legitimate companies are often stopped by opting-out. The legitimate companies have more to lose by not following the rules.
How hard can it be to really capture one on film? There are reports almost daily of bears wandering into populated areas looking for food. If this mythical creature actually exists, it should be dead easy to get legitimate proof via baited trap and motion-sensing camera.
For gawd sakes, the Ewoks managed to capture Chewbacca. Are we really that incapable?
It's not secure banking information over email. The email contains a link that takes you to a redemption site. No sensitive information is in the email. Everything is contained on secure servers - just like your bank account.
So, Ubuntu attempts to bridge mobile and desktop, and fails. Microsoft attempts to bridge mobile and desktop with Windows 8, and fails. So Apple will try, and win? In what alternate reality does that make any sense?
While it is very interesting that the missing episodes may be found, in reality, many of the early versions of Doctor Who are just painful to watch. Poor dialogue, agonizing slow pacing, terrible direction, etc, etc. If the BBC truly wants to revive the old episodes of Doctor Who, take the audio tracks (note: audio from EVERY episode survives) and created an animated series. Clean up the story lines and create something worth watching again.

Earth is already a spaceship. The problem is, we have no control over where it's going.

It's all locked down hard until someone finds the key: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-25550512

Who says it's their only move? Apple sues others trying to imitate the "Apple experience. Is Apply dying?
I got my signs reversed trying to explain the link between electricity, magnetism, and Relativity once.
How can you even look at yourself in the mirror? For shame!

This sounds like something they could use as the basis for Ocean's 14.

He's like the Linus Torvalds of the automotive industry!
Other car manufacturers say "batteries are so bullshit".
Be careful what you Mr. Musk. It can be embarrasing when somebody proves you wrong.
This is the internet. You're allowed to swear.

We've been able to do this in Canada for quite a while now using Interac e-Transfer. http://www.interac.ca/en/interac-etransfer/etransfer-detail
It's incredibly convenient, and only takes a few hours to transfer funds.
Maybe Michael Dell can put in his two-cents on how to turn the company around.

Getting cats out of trees isn't firefighting, but firefighters rescue cats all the time.
Just because social engineering isn't hacking doesn't mean hackers can't do it.
