I just see standard pattern number 7 in the Rorschach series that tests obsessive compulsiveness.

..and meaningless.

The academy awards is the very definition of circle jerk. Its hollywood giving hollywood accolades based on hollywood opinion.

See here folks how disgusting and utterly repulsive liberals are. They just make shit fucking up when its convenient in order to support their otherwise unsupportable arguments. Its usually not this fucking obvious and blatant, but its always there.

..and there is a reason that there are two different words.

Yes, superhero movies like Serenity.... oh wait...

Star Trek: Lens Flair

The only decent big-screen sci-fi director/producer//writers that are left seems to be Joss Whedon and James Gunn.

It doesn't. Seriously. Its like nobody has heard a fucking Jamaican accent, but some people think they know what a jamaican sounds like and have declared Jar-Jar a racist character based on only their imagination. What we actually see here is there isa group of racist people that see an annoying computer generated thing on the screen and have stereotyped it.

Here is a real Jamaican, Peter Tosh giving a fairly long speech. Jar-Jar and the rest of his race sound nothing at all like this. Zero similarity.

Jar-Jar was annoying. End of story. Progressive racists wanna see racism everywhere. End of that story too.

You just described how journalism used to be, not how it currently is. Nobody is doing that.

The Federal budget is almost $4 trillion dollars for a population of about 320 million people. Thats about $12500 per person, and that does not include the nearly $4 trillion dollars also spent by State and Local governments for the same people.

And you've got the balls to say there isnt much waste? My guess is that you are a Democrat, right? You guys have a real hard time understanding numbers once a dollar sign is put in front of it.

Zero chance that you will ever run a successful business. Your ideas are insane. They dont make any sense for any reason other than hand-waving.

Businesses try to maximize total profit you ignorant donkey.

To quote my 8th grade math teacher when I asked "But isn't there a way to calculate square roots?" .. he answered "There is no way to calculate square roots. It must be done by trial and error."

That sums up K-12 math education right there. He wasn't lying. He just didn't know.

Because real Journalism is dead. These people dont work any more. They just report.

Toshiba invented flash memory. I am hopeful that they do something decent with the OCZ brand.

Yes, but why would the owner of a herd of rhinos want to maximize the value of an individual rhino?

Think.

Do you think that farmers try to maximize the value of an individual ear of corn?

I think sleep allows the brain to repeat experiences, but otherwise isnt all that special as far as learning. For those that don't know, the primary learning methodology of the biological brain is known to be hebbian which can be summed up quite succinctly as "neurons that fire together wire together." Sleep allows experiences to be repeated, increasing the strengths between neurons that otherwise rarely fire outside of those experiences.
