And if you value freedom and liberty and good public health care you can move to Canada (that's what I did).

How the times have changed.

Complex molecules have characteristic absorption spectra. More energy per photon will not work if you move it outside the specific energy gap (a classical analog would be resonance, if the frequency fits little energy will suffice).

Remarkable. Does your business have a web site?

As somebody who has worked on artificial neural networks in the past, and holds a physics degree, I don't think that this assessment is wrong.

I think at this point this is more a curiosity. Interesting in it's own right, but not something that I would expect to yield new and improved algorithms.

No worries anonymous coward. If he has already been found guilty in the court of wikipedia why wait on the earthly jurisprudence.

All good.

Dang it, I moderated this as 'Funny' but it still shows as "Informative" which it really isn't.

Now I have to write this comment just to role back the moderation.

And boy, you must just hate the Legend of Korra ...

Really have no idea what your are talking about. As far as I am concerned Frozen and Tangled are perfectly fine, but my favorite remains Lilo and Stitch.

Doubt that you've watched any of them, but if you have then please get a bit more concrete about what you consider to be negative 'feminist' influence. I.e. plot points characterizations etc.

So far you made the most well reasoned argument on behalf on the whiners and than you lost me with this:

"... the last Disney movies are also feminist porn of the bad kind."

See, I have two daughters, and the classical Disney princess role model just makes me want to hurl. So I very much appreciate that they at least try a little bit to break away from this. Yet, with Frozen it still was way too much about the dress and being pretty. But at least they got nicely across that just because a dude's a prince, and a smooth talker, doesn't mean you should just fall for him.

The latter is a message that any dad will very much appreciate. If you think that's feminist you obviously don't have a daughter.

Embarrassment is like athletes foot, it just crops up uninvited and no matter how much you scratch, it just won't go away.

But thanks anyway.

BTW I don't know why the dude's in a Stormtrooper outfit, but I have a hunch that he won't be the villain.

Good point.

... or is all the whining about a *black* stormtrooper on the youtube comment thread beyond embarrassing.

Yeah right, living of Hartz IV is just great.

Historically Germans always preferred renting over owning a home.

It is pretty much impossible to evict somebody, and there is strict rent control. So there is no downside for the tenant, (believe me I know, I own a house in Heidelberg and there's hardly any profit in it. Just got lucky that the renter is building himself a house, so I can sell it fairly soon untenanted).
