Raspberry...there is only one man who would DARE give me raspberry!

Pretty much, just look at the pretty aurora. Worst case scenario is some satellite communications will be disrupted. The atmosphere provides more than adequate shielding against such things.

They didn't have to discover Pandora. It is in the Alpha Centauri system, 4.37 LY from Earth. This solar system is unique in that it is our closest neighbor by quite a bit, and would thus be the logical first interstellar destination.

Wait until some company tries to say that people are violating their "intellectual property" by not following the rules in the box, and try to start suing people for it. I have so little faith in humanity that I fully expect to see this.

Sorry, that won't work either. The crust has lots of naturally occurring radioactive material in it. The deeper you go, the more stuff you find. A lot of the interior of the planet is kept warm by radioactive decay. And this is the ionizing stuff, not just EM. Plus, don't forget things like cosmic rays and neutrinos that can penetrate a great deal of solid matter. He also better not have ANY light sources whatsoever in this house. If he has so much as a light bulb then what he is claiming is false. Visible light is even higher frequency than his horrible 2.6 GHz wifi.

I have to agree here. The ONLY anti-malware type product I will allow on my Windows machine is Malwarebytes. Manual updates, manual everything. I run a scan once a week just to make sure I didn't catch a case of the stupids that week. Honestly, I don't even use noscript...adblock plus and flashblock take care of pretty much everything. I only run flash on sites I know...which these days consists almost entirely of youtube, homestar runner, and the WOW armory.

Probiotics are going to start being a LOT more useful than antibiotics. If you have a deadly bacteria, the best way to kill it is not to actually kill it with antibiotics (which generally kill everything that's not resistant to it), but kill it by flooding the system with beneficial bacteria that will compete with the harmful ones for resources and eventually starve them out. Antibiotics should only be reserved for cases where they are absolutely necessary, and a probiotic regimin should be prescribed after the antibiotics are done. Antibiotics also tend to kill a lot of beneficial bacteria, leaving a power vacuum where ANYTHING can take over very quickly after the antibiotics are done. Filling the hole with beneficial bacteria before anything else can get in is the best thing to do.

Indeed. I used Netflix 4 years ago or so for awhile (before they did streaming videos). I had thought recently about starting up my subscription again, especially when I heard about the streaming video service (when I saw Windows and Mac listed I figured it was decent). Then I read about it, found out it was Silverlight only, and dismissed my idea to use Netflix at all. I will continue to use bittorrent for my rentals. Hence, their decision to support Silverlight cost them a subscription.
