Gathering torrent IP's from popular sites isn't difficult.

But they clearly want people very badly to sign in with their facebook accounts. First they're scaring people to sign in by promising removal from their database. If you visit the site again they provide you with a choice - an impossible (!) captcha or facebook. It's social hacking.

First off - don't let them scare you. Copyright holders has all the info anyway. Second, don't ever give away your facebook credentials to a third party that you don't trust. Third, don't trust these people.

So, the PS3 has won and has a 10% lead it says. so, why is it only a strong contender? I don't get it at all...

MS Skydrive service agreement has similar wording:

In Denmark it's illegal to use other peoples unprotected network without explicit permission. There's been no trials about it yet, but that's what lawyers here have said.

Also, I wouldn't know how to protect my internal network, if someone else had open access to it. I mean, my NAS server, uPnP/DLNA, Windows shares etc. Not an easy task, unless u just block the main door (or know lots about how to do networks).

Lots of wierd misconceptions here...

3D at the movies use polarized light, and each eye gets their usual 24fps. No flickering because there is no "black" in between each frame.

3D at home uses active shutter glasses with each eye flickering at 30fps, so the 60hz of the LCD gets split in right/left. That causes noticeable flicker (1/30'th of a second of black between each frame). It's a great mystery to me why they didn't make the glasses flicker at double that to remove the obvious flickering, but for the time being, they remain at 30fps... At least, that's what i can deduce from wearing them and looking out the window :)

Shooting in 48 fps makes less motion-blur maybe? I dont get how it would make less flicker in the movies where that's not the issue...

How is this different from what happened in the movie idiocracy? Couldn't that explain his "findings"? Leaping from "religoius people breed a lot!" to "religion-gene is gonna dominate all" is a huge leap of faith, pun intended.

Also, almost ANY social behavior could be said to have a genetic "component". How could you enjoy music if you weren't genetically predisposed to have ears? And music-lovers breed more because of drunkenness at concerts, leading to future generations with GIANT ears, relying solely on sonic bat-like senses for navigating their surroundings! They will then have an all-out war with the other faith-enhanced human factio , who has developed bioluminence on their scalps (religious people would be attracted to that) and a tendency to blindly believe in lots of strange things. The bat-faction would then win, because their king told the theology-faction that he was the president of the world, and because of their genetic inclination towards believing stuff, they believed him and surrendered.

Aah, i love theorizing on the potential of evolution :)

So, they tell the patients that placebos work (somehow, magically). Then they say that for a placebo to be a placebo, it needs no active ingredient.

So the patient STILL thinks he gets active treatment, because, placebo works even without active treatment! So the entire setup of the study is invalid, and the results doesn't say what the researchers think they do. You can't test placebos this way at all, as the premise isn't falsifiable... This is basic science, something the researchers clearly haven't been tought.

This is easily done with a regular webcam (apart from the extra depth-data). This story is lame, even if it were on a M$ fanboy game-blog...

Consider any viral infection in humans, a virus hardly even being an organism, that cause behavioral changes and forces the human to seek out large groups of fellow individuals (hospitals), only to involuntarily spray them with bodily fluids (vomiting, diarrhea).

And it isn't true that there aren't more of the fungus, like the article claims. Planet Eart clearly states that there are thousands. And I believe that an ant has a fairly simple cortex, allowing simple chemical influences to make it go up, left, right, to the sun, bite, etc.

When you have unlimited noise and only select the bits that makes for a good breeding ground for a fungus, anything possible that CAN happen, WILL happen. See - Murphys law accurately describes the principles of life!

Argh... problems that can be solved by manufacturing the two layers in a seamless process! I think!

Which is why OLED is the future! But the future can be pretty far away, and until then I shall have revolutionized the LCD industry with my sandwiching idea, muhuhaa!

More expensive is why new technology is interesting for businesses, so that shouldn't be an issue - especially if it could make the LCD compare even more to plasmas.

I think that the activated pixels of a gray-scale LCD panel will actually be (almost) perfectly translucent, not hampering the color-producing panel behind it, unless it had to, by turning off and becoming black.

I think my idea is sound enough :)

And don't forget the Green Phosphor Trails that all plasmas suffer from, and ruins every viewing experience I ever had to endure on a plasma. Those trails (or green/yellow flashes) are the only reason I will always pick LCD over plasma.

Very evident in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV_fXCW2rOM
But it's there in all plasma panels, making my head and eyes hurt...

True, and not funny at all.

Take a whole extra gray-scale panel and sandwich in front of the normal panel, feed it the luminance channel. BAM you have instant record deep blacks with double the ability to block out the backlighting with black pixels! I guess... Probably not, or they would have done that already...

The active LED backlight system will only work properly when they do it on a per-pixel basis. Right now it can only do blobs of dark, with lots of bleeding and artifacts - not good for picture quality.

lol, this study reminds me of something my pediatrics professor said during a lecture: "If you look stupid, chances are, you are!"

(reffering to deformed facial features of retarded kids)

Now, it's up to whoever reads this to choose which side looks more stupid :)

I have to agree to this. Especially getting them a microscope seems to be effective (worked on me too). I never found any science heroes - probably because I early on perceived the scientific community as standing together behind the scenes, and leaving the science presentation to other, more capable people.

And anyway - real heroes never die, so just use all the old ones! Start with some of the old Greek ones for basics :)
