As if the fear of pedophiles wasn't out of proportion. Treating all contact between an adult and a minor as a potential pedophile act, giving them an excuse to seriously infiltrate peoples personal lives.
It's not for the government to decide who can be friends with whom. I think it's good for children to have other adults they can trust, besides their parents. What if you get sexually abused at home (which does happen a lot)? Then an adult friend is a best thing you can have.

"Think of the children"? Yes, think if your children want to live in a sexually tabooed and paranoid world, that you "think of the children"-folks are pushing it towards.

Sort of agree. You should give your kid a half decent camera if he/she is interested in taking photos. Adults are often stuck with the idea they think photos should look like, resulting with a bunch of boring photos. Kids don't have this restriction and can take new kinds if fun and interesting photos.

But you sound like a typical consumer who think the more megapixels, the better the camera is. The resolution is only a part of what is good image quality. A typical pocket camera has nowhere near good enough optics to make use of 12MP. Sensor makers could have developed them to be less noisy and perform better in low light. But no, people want megapixels, sell them megapixels.
Nikon's top model D3 has 12MP in a film frame size (35mm) sensor. Some pocket cams are stuffing 16 in 1/40 of the area.

Stop this megapixel race insanity!

Microsoft should support a 10 year old system if it takes them 8 years to produce a newer system someone would want to use. In fact they are still supporting it for almost 3 years, as they should.

Culturally you can use anything you want, like using miles and fahrenheit and cups. But in sciene and engineering there should be only one system, and let that be the better system, which is SI. The least possible amount of base units and the rest are derived from them. If all your parameters are 1 something, the result will be 1 something, only the unit changes. Try that with archaic units.

Depends on what you count as mankind. The first defined as Homo walked about 2.5 million years ago, and it wasn't the first ape that walked upright.

Who tagged parent "Funny"? Kinda crude.

I wonder if there is a market demand for wearable subwoofers?

How do you listen to sign language?

So do plants and fungi share the same ancestor, among some other creatures? Do they share DNA or how do we know this? And that bacteria isn't the same "life form"? Oh, you learn something every day, and once in a while you learn that what you were taught in school is bogus.

I thought we already have four, in common terms: plants, animals, fungi and bacteria. So if something else is discovered it would be the fifth. No?

Yeah, that glow is something incredibly cool. Kind of shows where the world's computers are. I think I'll look at it for a while again after writing this reply, Congrats Mozilla folks too!

...on my Samsung M310.

He had some 130000 shares recently, worth about $4M. Now I can't seem to find that MSFT individual holders list anywhere. Seems a bit odd.

"the universe infinitely cycles."
That's what Kauko Nieminen has been saying over 20 years now.
"The nearest future is also the furthest past"

Yeah, it would be "handy" to have an alternative method to change the porn clip while you are masturbating and your hands are soaked with lubricant.
