How did I miss that article.. I read catholicnews.com all the time...

Well, don't satellites use radio signals to transmit though? What I'm suggesting is that maybe with further development we can stay in contact with far off probes using light instead, where there wouldn't be nearly as long of a delay. Still a delay naturally, but significantly less than radio at least. I really don't…

One to the head, two to the chest.

I wonder if communication delays would be a factor as well. Granted, these rovers are mostly automated, but you have to imagine it has some impact on missions.

If religious fanatics were smart they'd augment their theories to INCLUDE basic scientific discoveries. I mean, all they'd really need to do is come out and say they found some ancient 5000 year old tablet and translated it to find that "God created all life".

Oh, absolutely whites are a world-wide minority, but I assumed we were speaking of American culture here. I mean, the climate for Caucasians in Mexico, for instance is a very different matter than it is for Mexicans living in America. But I have no experience with this, so I'll leave it at that.

Unfortunately the term 'reverse racism' can have two very different definitions based on who you ask. Some might say it's the favoring of a minority race, others would say it's the discrimination of the majority race. I personally feel it's the former of the two and not the latter, but really it's six of one half a…

Morgan Freeman is a good guy.

It is pretty obvious, isn't it? They just love to take advantage of all that 'white guilt' out there.

In the Hobbit, Gandalf just sets this one particular hobbit on a quest with NO preparation, then he comes and goes so randomly that I always wondered what the hell he had going on that he couldn't look after this poor Hobbit that he just sent into danger. I never read the appendices, so it'll be interesting to see…

Wasn't that was the show Lie To Me was about, more or less?

Makes you wonder if the powers that be read 1984 more as a manual than a cautionary tale.

"It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself—anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having…

I'm kind of interested in catching up and seeing if this show is any good but everything io9 has said about it suggests that I should just skip the first season entirely. Should I just find some youtube season recap video to catch me up before I jump into season 2 or is it worth muscling through the first season at…

And just the fluidity of all the motions and camera pans. Jackson always does those wide sweeping shots of landscapes mixed with fast paced action shots, and the whole thing will just feel better.

And the photographer awoke this terribly powerful organism to reek havoc on the returning expedition. This, of course, set off a confusing chain of events full of unmotivated decision making, inconsistent cause/effect scenarios and poorly explained evolutionary chains. But the sequel should make sense of it all.

I've done my best to be remain ignorant of all things Twilight related, but every now and then I pick up little nuggets of information on the story, and I laugh every time I do.

I think this is one of those things where you were made aware of it's intended effect before hand so it ended up not working. I wonder if the illusion wouldn't be more effective if it was first shown, then you were asked where you perceived the flashing cube to be.
