Try taking a photograph of a landmark building with an expensive looking camera. Make sure it's a rental, because the cops might break it while you're resisting arrest.
You think most Americans aren't fat? Look at the obesity stats sometime and compare them to anywhere in western Europe.
A higher rate of obesity in America does not necessarily make most Americans fat. Where'd you learn logic, America?
You think most Americans aren't stupid? Look at what they tolerate from their own gov't and TSA and megacorps.
How apropos. I was just calling Americans stupid. But look at what Chinese, French, Brits, Australians, hell, the entire rest of the world tolerate from their governments. Looks like humans in general are stupid. Or rather, selfish ("what's in it for me"), and tribal-focused (family > township > city > state > nation > humanity), so they don't care what the "rules" are as long as they don't infringe on their own way of life.
The US is an empire in decline.
The US has never been an empire. We were in an advantageous position after two world wars that devastated Europe, parts of Asia, and arguably helped the Middle East and Africa. That advantage is ending now that the rest of the world is finally rebuilt.
The industry offers u stereoscopic video and that is exactly what u get! And by the way, I for one really thinks that watching a movie in 3d can be a superior expirence.
I agree. When are they going to actually do that and stop lying to us about "3d" when it's just stereoscopy?
Just like watching someone play sports is more pathetic than playing sports, right? Or watching someone sing instead of learning how to sing//play music instead of learning how to play music?
You just listed the reasons why I hate watching sports and don't own music (except one CD from a local band from 15 years ago that I can't find). Although s/pathetic/boring/ is more accurate.
The prosecution presented radar evidence that the vehicle was speeding.
The defense presented faulty evidence from a source that was not capable of measuring speed.
Maybe the judge disregarded the defense evidence as spurious (as you claim it to be), but decided that the prosecution's evidence didn't pass muster either. Not guilty result.
If the timestamps were added (milli/micro)seconds after the actual picture was taken, then that means that in the timeline he has even less time for the supposed negative acceleration?
Considering 95% of all tablets in the wild (meaning the iPad) have no SD Card, having a card reader in a tablet is still somewhat of a novelty. How Apple gets away with that kind of thing I'll never know.
Well, as a counter point to that... I have never found myself thinking "boy, what I really need is an SD card slot in my iPad". Not even a little.
Well, as a counter point to that... I have often found myself thinking "boy, what I really need is a micro SD card slot in my iPhone" because I want to easily transfer data (usually PDFs) to my phone. Instead I have to email them to myself or put them up on a secure website. Apple is pretty dumb about some stuff.
WTF? My camera has an SD slot (I think they pretty much all do...) and I've never even heard of doors breaking off. The point is that it's upgradable. When I bought my camera 256 MB of flash was a little pricey. Today, I have a 16 GB card in there. And I can carry spares; if I fill one up, I can swap it in a few moments, something you can't do with built in flash.
And it's easier to carry 10 cards and 10 batteries than it is 10 cameras. Not everyone goes on trips where power is ubiquitous and computers are available.
But of course, GP thinks that we should all be using iCamera/PictureFrames and just buy new ones when the memory fills up (because you can't transfer Apple's IP [your photos] to another device).
Everything from adobe (except Linux flash player) has a 64bit version. Autodesk stuff. Like sibling says: FOSS often does. Symantec AV. Anything that needs its own drivers or likes to use a lot of RAM.
We've got pound, inch, foot, yard, pint, quart, and gallon....gallon being one of the few multisyllabic words

And humans are unbearably hot at 100F and unbearably cold at 0F. Fahrenheit is useful for measuring human comfort (and human internal temperature differences) which is how the vast majority of people use temperature measurements.
Maybe not in Europe where anything you travel to is less than 20 minutes away. In the US, any vacationers will tell you that the 60mph / 120kph figure for time and distance is quite handy.
However if you want to claim the metric, or SI, units of measurements are inconsistent when it comes to weight and mass, then the same could be said for the imperial system. A pound or an ounce are "just" an expression of mass as well, not weight.
No. A pound is weight. A slug is mass. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slug_(mass)
The thing I'm most concerned about is that changes between SI and Imperial seem to be accelerating with monetary inflation. I remember a Newton of Fig cookie snacks used to weigh 16 oz, but it changed to 14 oz a few years back, and recently to 12 oz. And then there's the 200 calorie Newton of Fig snacks which is really 200 kilocalories, but has remained constant in Imperial weight at 2oz.
You ignored GP's (valid) point regarding polymorphing digits (or counting based on other things besides digits, like the number of up flavored quarks in a proton for the first tier, the number of down flavored quarks in a hydrogen atom for the second tier...). Maybe they count via primes and consider non-prime numbers to be in-between, just like we consider rational numbers to be in-between the integers. They could very well use a base(f(x)) system, where f(x) is an equation their brains are hardwired to solve via a biological quantum computing analog, but would take us thousands of years to compute.
thousand dollar DVR...built in flip down monitor...you bough the wrong minivan
Fine then, Richie Rich. If you've got a minivan that's gold plated with diamond hubcaps don't come crying to me when they just take your whole van. Flip down monitor indeed. Portable DVD players can be taken with you in any vehicle, and they're inexpensive to replace if broken.
essentially - most of us wouldn't steal a nice beamer that's out on the street. However, if you had a machine that could make an exact copy of said beamer, while leaving the original PERFECTLY intact, would you do that? of course!.
What about a limited edition Beamer, where most of the value to the owner is that it is one of only twenty made?

Not to mention most theaters have 2D showings of 3D films
Not around me. I had to wait until the DVD before I could see a 2D version of Tron Legacy.
Someone needs to break out the Rules Cyclopedia or BECMI D&D.
Anyone who has attended gencon can attest to the veracity of your claims.

It's STILL an acceleration. Acceleration is a change in speed or direction. Slowing down IS acceleration.
What, someone auto-mods ACs as Troll? He's 100% correct, albeit pedantic.

it's offensive to suggest that a decimal system is not simply a special case of a fractional system.
It's a poor representation of a fractional system. 1/3 is simple, direct. But in decimal, it infinitely repeats.

Water boils at 100 celsius and freezes at 0.

Two - people don't think like this anyway.
