I prefer breaking. I might learn the other type at some point though.

Pretty sure sitting in the sun will kill you instantly. Plasma tends to do bad things to molecules.

No see, I am intelligent, which is why I damn well know that you can't pin the differences or even the fundamental differences between other apes and humans on one gene. The gene seems to be very influential, but "separated by a single gene"? Bullshit.

*that

Bullshit.
Thant is all.

When the GP was collapsed, I saw your "137" and thought I recognized it, and I was right. That comment is just how he (t)rolls. Fun guy, really.
Kids these days don't even know the elders...

That is what hashtags are for.

Not that I care, Twitter is stupid and so are collage and pro sports.

Carcinogens? Really? There appears to be one article in the Telegraph, and a bunch of copies/knock off articles. I am not seeing the actual results of the research anywhere, much less a peer-reviewed paper. I am not seeing any peer-reviewed papers by him in fact. I did find this: http://www.alab-berlin.de/portrait/portrait.html which seems to indicate that he is real person and Alab Labs does exist, but that is about it.

Which isn't to say that their aren't reasons to use alternatives to fluorescent lights. LEDs are more efficient (or can be), and more economical, and daylight is nice when and where you can get it. But "OMG carcinogens!" isn't a valid reason without proving a connection.

Glad I never tried to sign up there. I am no idiot, and I like anime, but even if I *could* figure such a thing out, I can't imagine I would take the time and effort to do so. I might run a few google searches, but I have doubts that that would be enough to find it.

Like Newton and Alchemy.

Virtually all economic ideas are based on an assumption of a continually growing economy. On a finite planet, with limited prospects for getting out, or importing significant amounts of material in, that right there is enough to make those theories spectacularly stupid.

On somewhat shorter time scales, some theories seem to be better than others (liberal, as you say), but show me proof they work. Where are the rigorous studies? There aren't any cause you can't double-blind nation-state economics! You can't even do multiple, controlled variable, repeatable tests! No science here!

Yeah, and Tesla also cloaked a navy ship and accidentally sent it back in time! And the world is run by Illuminati Lizard-men!

I don't know or care about the others, but Display Port 1.2 handles 4k.
As I said in my other comment, Ivy Bridge can physically drive 4k, it just needs a driver update, which Intel is supposed to do soon I think.

Dunno what the average onboard gpu is, but new Intels can (Ivy Bridge (w/ software update)). Since AMD is using Radeon tech, it shouldn't be an issue for them either, though I haven't heard anything.

It would take a while for the new monitors to come in anyway, so just the newer stuff supporting it should be fine.

Conservative economic plans are as bad as liberal.

This is because almost all economic ideas, of any school, are disastrous in the long term, and most are unverifiable in the short to medium term (many of the ones that are verifiable are verifiably bad). Economics is a fucked field.

I would say conservatives tend to have empathy issues to some extent, but I do not think that primarily drives those issues. Those issues tend to be related to conservatives being, well, conservative (literal meaning), and liking strong central authority (strong central authority, in turn, tends to like lots of very personal rules to help keep that authority). Also see: alliance of different types of conservative under one banner, combination of personal and economic ideas under one axis

The liberal issue you cite, I would say have an underlying origin in liberal collectivist tendencies, elevating the concern for the group, rather than the individual, and taking solutions that are implement by the group, rather than the individual.
