Yeah, my CO2 supply company is really tanking with this global warming thing.

Terrorist!! How dare you question the integrity of Slashdot editors!! If they say there are WMDs in the hands of South Koreans we must believe them, and declare war on the internet. I'm sure your comment is totaly valid, but I don't have time to research the background of these articals.

Does this mean I can write off my time in the virtual brothels... er... I mean, massage therrapests? Will I have to claim the +50 gold pieces as income? Where do I fill that in on the W2 form? I think my next character is going to be 10th LVL Accountant.

I think we should call Harrison Ford and Aerosmith.

There's got to be a Monty Python joke in here somewhere. Personally I think Holy hand grenades are much more entertaining.

I meant the series of movies, but maybe you were sucked through a time warp and missed the start of it. If so, you are so lucky. Personnally I hope I get sucked through I time warp and can tell myself not to watch it, or if I go forward, maybe George Lucas will get around to finishing Star Wars.

I am Bender. Please insert cell phone.

We can rebuild it, we have the technology". Of course, they probably junk them instead of repairing, but it's a valid comment.

Startrek. It doesn't seem like this new series is going to go anywhere, or is it just me?

This is kind of like pollution, it just stops at the boarder, right? I'm sure the those chemicals respect interstate and political borders.

about this carbon stuff. The earth is carbon neutral, so I think it will all balance out. Especially if we run out of fossil fuels like fear mongerers are always saying. Personally I live in Canada and am looking forward to global warming, and anything I can do to accelerate the process is a good thing.

I took progamming classes in engineering and math classes in engineernig, and I liked both. I actually took a math programming class to progam integrals, derivatives, and other complex formulas into C+, and that course sucked. I work as an electrical engineer now and to all my calculating on a $10 micronta calculator. This has nothing to do with this artical but I'm sure people that are adept at mathematics are logical thinkers that can apply themselves to things like programming.

Very correct. The word frames refers to the frames of a TV screen, not the visual acuity responce of the eye which changes person to person. I think average frequency responce threshold, for a stationary point is 20 to 25 Hz, the responce to changes in location is much higher, but varies from person to person.

Conspirasy!!! They actually probably leaked it themselves to spread conflicting data about the environment. They don't want people to know that as soon as the glaciers and polar ice caps melt aliens will invade the earth, they are just waiting for a shift in temperature. I for one, welcome our tropical overlords!

My house is HUGE, I have a 50" DLP and for my living being 24' across it's about perfect. The real problem is my house is too big, everything is scaled up, it's built for a family of giants if the people were the same size as the house they would be 6'-8", 300#. I think American's and Canadian's perception about what is the minimum standard is very skewed. Ther is no reason a house should be over 6000 sqft. I have a two bedroom home that is 3200 sqft, but that is what is available where I live, unless I specifically build a house that is 900 sqft. You "need" to have a big screen or you are poor, that is typically the perception, I would have a 27" CRT, if my brother didn't buy the DLP used for $500.
