You can buy iTunes store credits with hard cash in the form of gift cards. I've done this myself and it works fine.

I've been to a theater with shutter glasses. The effect worked fine but added nothing to the movie (Pixar's Up!). The glasses were heavy compared to the polarized kind and I would have preferred to watch the movie without.

There are two kinds of "magic eyes" images, ones where you focus behind the image and ones where you focus in front. If the stereogram effect is inverted, you need to switch from focusing behind to focusing in front or vice versa.

It is alright if the dedicated 1% (and this is a generous estimate) can work around the censorship. As long as most people don't do it, what good does it do to them? The size of the technically knowledgeable and strongly motivated population is small enough that they can't do much by themselves - moreover, as long as they are preoccupied with overcoming technical hurdles they'll be less efficient at what they actually want to accomplish.

Shawwal being the only non-compound word of the lot. I had never heard of AC's rule of thumb but I'd say it holds true.

Speak for yourself, I don't value any post more because it was posted with e-ego attached. There's a lot of spam posted as AC for sure, but rating posts based on the name field is bad moderating.

This is a great point of view, that I feel calls for further thought. What does the requirement of being unemployed or a moneyless student do to the credibility of such protests? What then happens to the point about "people feeling so strongly about an issue"? Furthermore, does anybody who has a say in things give a shit about meatspace protests anyways if they're only at some weird emotional level instead of causing actual harm?

I'm sure it was unintentional but even with the strong stigma of scriptkiddiness, grandparent just made me think more highly of LOIC compared to meatspace protesting.

Or worse, one could burn the food!

That is why he said "effective" - in this context it means 35mm equivalent.

Seeing as canine physiology is adapted to eating shit I don't see how you could consider that an argument concerning intelligence either way. What next, are you going to say it's stupid for birds to fly just because you'd die if you tried jumping off a cliff?

You fail at reading comprehension, it is an example of how little dogs care about wet or cold, not of intelligence. Obviously it isn't killing my dog, and there are humans who take part in the exact same activity FOR FUN too - only they go out of their way to actually break the ice after it has already frozen.

You should try it some time, the endorphin and adrenaline rush caused by temperature shock can feel pretty awesome.

The product of playing "fetch" with a human from a dog's point of view is fun, bonding and exercise. Seems like a fairly productive task to me.

Besides, obviously cats like playing too. Just because dogs are more social about it doesn't tell anything about the species' comparative intelligence.

Based on what you just posted? Impossible to say, none of it concerned intelligence.

Considering that we get male dogs trying to do just that to our front door when our bitches are in heat, I can only conclude that you haven't interacted with many enough dogs or tested their abilities.

According to your logic cats are also more intelligent than humans.
