Cause that video was so white I think I got snow blindness watching it.

On point 4 he has actually been paying for unemployment as well during his 4 years of working at GameStop, so this sounds more like a conservative mantra that means very little.

The point is actually that that a 6 level compressed JPG and a 7 level compressed JPG would look nearly the same, just that the 7 level compressed JPG would be MUCH larger than the 6 due to the color information difference. So a side by side comparison would mean little, instead you'd need a SIZE by SIZE comparison.

That is specifically why they're grounded from what I understand. The system is supposed to be pretty standard but the 'occasional' is more of a 'fairly regularly'. So combining that this is a more than rarely-occurring problem and the fix should have been pretty easy (or not an issue in the first place), they're…

Word is that in somewhere in a week to two weeks time this supernova will be so bright that you could see it at night with a pair of binoculars. Considering this galaxy is 21 million light years away gives you some scope for how massive this explosion really is.

While both were lost, their Flight Termination Systems were activated once the flight profile became erratic, so when they say "lost" what they mean is "they blew up and are sitting at the bottom of the ocean in small, unidentifiable pieces."

To be honest, while horribly stereotypical, I had many of my things stolen by my brother's friends back in high school, and they were total druggies too.

Dying from an infection isn't exactly quick, and it can be quite painful, taking thirty, forty days in some cases to die.

Regardless, I think most of us would rather be fat and alive than die young from curable infections.

Hehe. Expedition 27 crew is already scheduled to return to Earth soon (pretty sure it was sometime next week or week after) so the crew reduction is already going to happen.

Said experiment could also be performed using pigs, providing both improved bragging rights for marksmanship, and would reduce criminal charges from murder/manslaughter to animal abuse/neglect.

Confirmed, plausable, and denied were all found to be valid results.

It strikes me as odd to suggest that air friction could produce a 100 mph difference between a 30 cal and a 50 cal bullet, and then to suggest that a 50 cal bullet could reach a speed of over 300 mph falling straight down seems ludicrous. I'd have to see some actual data, those figures sound like 80% of…

One of the problems with anecdote in terms of scientific investigation is a thing called event selection.

The greatest thing the Libyan people will gain following this victorious rebellion is the ability to make fun of 40 years of the most hilariously dressed state-head in the world.

Less than 40$ worth of gold in each system and the chemicals and equipment to do this would cost more on a per system basis. If you can get $100 a piece, that's the better way to go. This is more of the "doing it for the kicks" sort of thing, not profitable (except on large scale).

Yes - Piracy is bad, that's accepted. When someone torrents an episode of a show, nobody on the production or broadcast side of the equation wins.

I found the following link to be very informative as to what is actually going on in these photos and how these miniature faking pictures (commonly referred to as tilt-shift though usually that is a misnomer) are actually accomplishing the feat of 'looking' small, even though they are real objects.

Note for those reading the headline and getting excited: The study found that the dosage of MDMA required in order to have an effect on the blood cancers would require lethal dosages of MDMA in live patients.

This research is interesting and could have residual benefits for space-walkers as well.
