For movies anyways, some people can indeed tell the difference between streaming and proper blu-ray. Streaming just isn't going to be "good enough" for people that care about quality - or people that live where broadband is extremely expensive or unavailable.

Isn't that what school is about anyways? When I went through Naval Nuclear Power School, you either got the topic or you didn't. Understanding a theory or topic is much more important than memorization. The best students weren't necessarily the best operators.

When we got to the ship, most everything is just book work, but at least we knew the background of what we were doing. No meltdowns yet.

Serious question: How does O2 get at the seafloor at that depth in the first place?

Are we 100% sure that the O2 that the fish needs doesn't come from the seabed itself? I remember watching on of the DiscoveryHD shows where some fish at extreme depths get their O2 from "steam vents" or something along those lines.

If these fish are bottom feeders, then just stay on the bottom of the ocean. Oil floats, right?

I think these fish will be just fine.

are are ...arrrrrrrrrrrrre. Stupid grammar.

I'm sorry, but if I am the one lasing the target I would not want the enemy* to have a chance in hell to find me.

Sometimes the government needs to cover up information to protect it's soldiers. De-classify that info when it is obsolete, but not a minute sooner.

*although I did not agree with the "why", when I was over there, the guys pointing guns + rockets at are are the enemy.

Exactly. I just asked my girlfriend about this, and the DMCA. She thought I was talking about WOW.

My guess is that the general population will only care about this once they start getting lawsuits.

If I could pen a letter to whomever represents me in England or Ireland, I would. Unfortunately, I do live in the US and therefore I need to write (yes...a real letter that goes in the mail) someone that will read my letter and has a chance of acting. I'm pretty sure I would be wasting my time writing foreign politicians.

Oh yeah...I'm sure people from other countries have a type of due process, but I'm just speaking for myself. I know that internet does not = united states. No disrespect to people from far away (and much better climate) lands.

I think I have posted 1 time since I opened am account here. This issue caused me to find my login /password. This thing scares the shit out of me. Something that is seemingly "all encompassing" treaty for internet use should be out in the public for ridicule. What would be the due process for contacting whomever in government has the power to stop this thing? Or do we have no option? I am generally apathetic about internet policy because I have FIOS, but this treaty has changed my outlook.
