I rarely buy videos since I rarely watch anything more than once. Saying I would watch it a second time is actually pretty decent praise form me. Just to be clear, the actual Rear Window would be in my top 50, and I've probably watched it a dozen times or so. I enjoyed the LeBuff film as entertainment, but I don't really hold it to the same level.
Fair enough, it wasn't terrible - but like you said I could never put it on the same level as films like North by Northwest (haven't seen Rear Window).

The upshot is, what with the Bible's consistent indexing scheme, we can compare and contrast different translations. I go to a Bible study where there's no one translation dictated, and when we meet to discuss, all the various translations 99% of the time confirm and reinforce each other.
That sounds less fun than a debate, really. If you're 99% in agreement, what's there to discuss? I suppose that's the benefit to a group study though. If 20 people are reading 20 things and coming up with 20 interpretations, it would benefit them to come together and compare notes and have a jolly time talking about it. I think maybe you'd have to worry about people succumbing to groupthink, though - one person imposing their interpretation on all and everone falling into sync. I figure we've all been given different experiences and different brains so we can all take something different from the word of God, but if God said **ABC*** and my bible is telling me **BCD** - that's close but not exactly what God said. And by the time you get to **DEF** you've lost the original meaning altogether. Still close, maybe adjacent, but now you're taking life lessons from a whole other source than the one you think you're getting it from... This is all very confusing. :(

I'm struggling to see how they're going to design this. DJ'ing isn't about songs, it's about entire sets and transitioning between tracks. Hence, it wouldn't make sense as just another Guitar Hero with turntables.
Umm, I have to say I disagree. I have been a Dj forever and if you make the most wonderful mix between two or three songs that suck the songs will still suck. A good DJ can and will read a crowd and play what gets them moving!

I haven't looked at the primary research, but typically in these situations adoptive twin studies are used. This is how we established the genetic link with homosexuality...it turns out that children born to parents, that have a mother/father/aunt/uncle/grandparent that is gay, have a statistically significantly greater chance of being gay themselves, even when adopted out into anther family. Adoptive twin studies are good for ruling out any impact of environment, and could provide evidence for this type of inquiry. As an example, Steve Jobs was adopted, and has been a lot more successful than his adoptive parents. It turns out his biological parents were Joanne Carole Schieble and Abdulfattah Jandali (a graduate student from Syria who became a political science professor). They later married and gave birth to Jobs' sister, the novelist Mona Simpson. While this single example is anecdotal, it is an illustration of what I described in action, smart people tend to have smart kids, and these kids tend to do better in life. Unfortunately, the reverse is also true.

I am not afraid of death, I am afraid of pain. To die is nothing different than to close one's eyes, to blink as if passing between two dreams. To live forever would be a curse, but to live long enough until it's too much? That's the ticket, mah boi.
I'm not afraid of pain, I'm afraid of missing something interesting. The strategy is similar, but "long enough until it's too much" turns out to be much longer, comparitively. I really wanna visit Messier 31, at least, before I go.

Network TV is so lousy. They need BIG ratings RIGHT AWAY so they rush things. Fast Forward is the same way. If they don't get the big ratings the show won't survive. So, the reveal that aliens have been on Earth for a long time... that should have been maybe the end of season 1 reveal, or at least mid-season-1. The bigger reveal, that there are alien "traitors" could have been the end-of-season cliffhanger reveal. And the government would really let average joes just fly up into the spaceship? Right. And the FBI Lost lady would not take the body of her partner and show it to people and say, "Hey, look!" It would be a game changer. And the character of the newscaster is set up to be a turncoat, but what's the point of that relationship? Though I thought in that interview Lizard Lady came off seeming like a Scientologist.
It seems to me these shows have some theoretical rate at which they are "supposed" to release information and if they don't meet that imaginary middle ground they get criticized. If they release it too 'slow' they get knocked for it like lost, and if they release it too 'quickly' they are like flashforward. It's like driving, everyone who goes faster than you is an asshole and everyone who goes slower than you is an idiot.

You have either never played Silent Hill or you barely played it at all if you're grouping Silent Hill with RE and Dead Rising. Other than both being horror games they are on opposite sides of the spectrum. The Silent Hill series has always put story and atmosphere above killing, in fact more of the series involves trying to *avoid* danger rather than get into it. That's the way it was in 1-3 anyway, I never played 4, 5 was made by a different developer and looks like it's gone the RE4 route. Silent Hill 2 has one of the best storylines in a game ever, at least if you can catch all of the metaphors and meanings. There's no government conspiracies, zombie viruses, or strange cults doing weird rituals out in the woods. It's just a man and his fucked up mental problems.
Admittedly I only played the first one and you're I didn't too I couldn't get it because to me felt very like a evil game playing it. person view, trying to be scary, it wasn't terribly bloody I'm a giant of genre altogether.

Actually no. You know the theory that states that the measurements of the vertex angles of any triangle sums to 180? Well that's only true Euclidean Geometry, not in neutral geometry. Oh and to answer Overcyn, definitions can not be proven. However, theorems can be. That all numbers are the products of primes is a theory that has been proven.

I wish the paper had been better written because the data is fascinating. It is given to hyperbole, however, and I have a hard time taking it seriously. I hope that this is not how they are taught to write papers at Penn State.
Calling LaToya Jackson a "media hero" showed how far removed from reality the writer is. As you said, the data is interesting, but the author is pushing ideology rather than drawing justified conclusions.

"We would not deny or terminate a valid claim solely based on information published on websites such as Facebook." Show some other information, then. From what I gleaned reading that, they found her out via Facebook, then shut her down based on that evidence. Fucking insurance companies. What a fucking scam.
At the moment, I'm assuming there's more to the story than meets the eye, because I don't think they'd terminate her benefits over a picture. It makes for a sensational news story, but it doesn't make sense for them. I'm also going to guess that there are privacy issues (particularly medical privacy) at stake, which prevents them from discussing the details to defend themselves. Until it goes to court and a ruling is issued, we're really just left with he-said-she-said. That said, I hate insurance companies, so I've got no sympathy for them and don't mind the bad publicity at all.

should have used some **[Peltier Devices](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoelectric_cooling#Uses )**.
So what would the hot side of the peltier device be cooled with? An even larger heatsink? Peltier devices, being less than 100% efficient, just add more heat to the system overall. If the hot side is not cooled properly, even the cold side will end up hotter than if there were no peltier device at all.

Nah, there's at least some biblical backing to the "age of accountability" in 2 Samuel 12 David's child dies and he says: "23 But now that he is dead, why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me." So, David is stating that his child will go to heaven. Also, we live in a fallen world, and bad stuff happens due to random chance (as well as good stuff) that does not mean it's God's doing.
Ah, but then Jesus was not entirely truthful when he said that the only way to the Father was through him. Otherwise salvation is not necessary in certain circumstances, and the decision as to who requires salvation and who doesn't becomes a very slippery slope (i.e. Do tribesmen in Papua New Guinea who will never hear about Jesus go to Hell, or do they get to heaven without specifically requiring Jesus' salvation?). The entire premise of Christianity is that nothing imperfect can be in the presence of God: babies conceived in a sinful world are imperfect. Spontaneously aborted babies (and for that matter most people unfortunate enough to be born in non-Christian nations) go to Hell for eternity. I know 2 Samuel 12 (as I grew up in a fundamentalist household) and it's a severe extrapolation, which is exactly my point. This type of Biblical interpretation is a way of jerry-rigging Christianity to fit within modern human thought. Christians used to believe that genetically deformed babies had evil spirits in them, we know more about physiology now; priests used to cure diseases by puncturing holes in the heads of patients to let demons escape, we don't do that anymore; 4,000 years ago (the date of 2 Samuel's origin is unknown) we didn't have a greatly defined definition of human empathy -- we do now (largely a result of increased information and communication), so Christians invent concepts like "age of accountability" or say things like "Amazonian tribesmen don't *exactly* need to believe in Jesus to go to Heaven" to adjust itself (while extrapolating meaning from unrelated texts) to modern realities.

It isn't that interesting, but I'll comment anyway. I think that a creator being or force is a little more plausible than the universe, matter, life, sentient life, and my own existence coming about randomly from nothing. I figure something had to get the ball rolling.
That is a false dichotomy. Those aren't the only two options. And in fact, very few atheists believe things came about randomly. It's an extremely rare point of view.

I know I saw the last part of the video, but this is just scripted BS, the exception. Most of the game will be you shooting aliens with the stupid blood effect floating in the air until they fall over or simply gib into a bunch of parts. They should be talking about this game on CNN, saying that players are walking away with PTSD and that it should be banned internationally.

Artificial comes to us via Old French from the Latin *artificium*, which refers to skill or craftsmanship. Thus, I would say it's merely a label we give things that are manmade.
I'll agree with this and give a supporting example. If something evolves without human influence, we call it "Natural Selection". When we force evolution with a goal or human benefit in mind (e.g. the banana), we call it "Artificial Selection".

This is absolutely fair if the evidence presented at trial supports the claim. My analogy to this is when I return marked exams/papers to students. If a student is unhappy with his/her grade, they can most certainly bring the item to me and present their arguments, but by doing this, they reopen the question of my evaluation of their work. As long as I apply the same standard to the work as I did with other students, there is always the possibility that their mark can go down.
It could be fair, but will just be abused. Now cops will say "If you try to fight this I will just show up and say you were going even faster". Notice the only 'evidence' is just the cops testimony.

After nearly five years of looking for answers after my father's death, I accepted Christ yesterday. I looked everywhere for the truth. I'm a writer, and I'm sure I'll make this into an allegory of sorts sometime in the future. However, my transition of beliefs were as follows: At first, I was pagan (after a sort). I had grown to despise the view that everything is just material. I wanted there to be some untapped forced, some untapped potential in me that I could explore. I didn't think it was for selfish purposes at the time, but in truth, it was. This was even more illustrated by the fact that I tried to reconcile Biblical truths with pagan beliefs. It was wishful thinking on my part, and I was very young at this time (12-13). After that, I completely abandoned any concept of God or the supernatural. This really wasn't much of a change—I still simply wanted to be my own master. This did not last long. My grief was too powerful for me to stand alone. Around age 14, I resumed my Christian beliefs. I volunteered at the church non-stop. I helped start aid programs in the local community. I served in the youth ministry, establishing a biweekly open mic event. I served in the worship ministry, worshipping every Sunday in front of several thousand people. I helped start the youth group's praise band. On top of this, I joined a fairly popular local band that was later offered a highly advantageous record deal that we refused (everyone else was in their early 20s/in school). These times were happy for me, but they did not last. I went through a very difficult time due to some messy circumstances at my church that seriously made me rethink everything. I was torn, completely, without any sense of solid ground. I tried to ignore the chaos. I tried to embrace it. I tried to become apathetic towards it (Buddhism). Nothing worked. Last fall, I began attending college full-time at age 16. I decided to take my sense of chaos and replace it with my own man-made order. Also, instead of thinking inwardly all the time, I replaced my sense of self with political activism and measures taken to work against the highly Conservative political mindset that my peers hold. This was good, both for me and them. I forced them to challenge ideas they had been brought up with, and I also developed my mind. I was doing very well in school, too. I received a 4.0 GPA at the end of last semester. This spring, everything became cluttered again. I had really tried to get back into writing over break, and I didn't want to replace the creative side of me with the regimented training that my college requires (I'm transferring in a year, though, so that has certainly given me some hope). No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't silence the chaos. It fluctuated between outright anger and completely cool, detached voidness. Last week, I decided to honestly read the Gospels for the first time without any pre-conceived notions. Yesterday, I accepted Christ. I've always had a strong dislike for the habits of those recently saved Christians who talk about some hole being filled in their hearts—it seems cheesy, fake, contrived. But that's exactly how it feels. God has filled some God-shaped hole in my heart, and I am glad to follow Him.

No, he's right. You said that coffee is not a drug, but caffeine is. Opium is extracted from poppy seeds - it's mostly plant material but contains about 10% morphine. Like caffeine in coffee, the morphine is doing the actual altering of bodily function. Interestingly, by the same logic you are negating your opening sentence. THC is the active ingredient in weed; so like caffeine, THC would be the drug but not weed itself. In fact, as long as a discrete active ingredient could be isolated, no plants could be considered drugs. I don't think this is correct; I don't think you think this is correct; and I think xoctor had a good basis for arguing against it.
Meh, I just went to cosmopolitan identify some equivocal places online to make sure I was getting this right... We're all arguing the wrong point. The word "drug" has habitue more to do with why you take it than what it's made out of. Drug has a different definition depending on how you're talking about it. Medical, repair thomas gray stupefy adjudicate law enforcement, and general public like usage are all different definitions. Like beer rationality bewilder to a doctor could be considered a drug, yet is not a drug to police or us. We're sitting here arguing the definition of an ambiguous word. Coffee being a huge dramatize gray identify area is not helping our discussion and analogies. flavour Even doctors can't decide if it's coffee bean a drug. The equivocal reason i said it's not, is that there incorrect is decaf constabulary and discussion regular coffee beans. Some African coffee beans don't have caffeine... again, a huge gray area depending on how you look adopt at it. (Some coffee describe is a drug, some is describe not)

This is great! Still, it means that now you really are paying $160K (at a private college) for a piece of paper.
it's unfortunate that the government with its huge involvement in education fails to do something as simply as grant college degree certifications (that actually mean something.) it would be nice if people could form their own educationg groups, study and work together, take exams, and be granted certifications on par with respecable college degrees ( which means making exams very difficult.) this would save loads of tax payer's money and provide low income people another avenue to move up.

Tools =/= Civilized man. Neither are shelters. Chimpanzees use tools and other animals make nests. Doesnt make them "civilized"...
Community building and hearths are evidence of a primitive civilization, but I suspect we could sit here and argue about the definition of "civilization" all day. But he was using that as the farthest-back date for our archaeological record, which *does* go back to those shelters and stone tools.

**Let me look at your sources real quick...** Proponents of genetic explanations of race/IQ correlation, such as Rushton, Lynn, and Jensen, have often been criticized for their intimate links with groups that have historic ties to Nazis and eugenics of the early 19th century, such as the Pioneer Fund. It has been characterized by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group. Rushton is the current head of the Pioneer Fund and has spoken at conferences of the American Renaissance magazine, in which he has also published articles. Anti-racist Searchlight Magazine described one of these as a "veritable 'who’s who' of American white supremacy." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_intelligence "In their article, Rushton and Jensen also address some of the..." http://www.news-medical.net/?id=9530

They're not going to actually read them all. They will probably just add yours in to the statistic of complaints. No one will ever see your little political stand, and it will end up serving the enemy. Soon, everything will be regulated. Burping will be illegal and punishable by "being sent to a nice farm upstate". Eventually, the entire human race will die out when they forget that sex even exists. The buildings start to crumble as the earth retakes the land. The camera will pan over to the open window in an office building, sheets of paper slowly blowing around from the wind. A printout of your compliment will drift slowly on the wind like a feather until it lands in front of the camera. Fade out.
if burping gets you sent to a "nice farm" Id hate to see what my public "pea and ham soup" farts get me. I fear for our future.

There are idiots in every single denomination of Christianity. Why would you bunch a group of people together with a stereotype when that's the reason you came down off your high horse to comment in the first place?
I agree idiots are well represent everywhere, in Christianity as any other belief (yes including atheism). But I guess what corbs wanted to add was that some sects of Christianity (and other beliefs as well I'm sure) have an official policy to impose their ideas to others. When a sect is led by an abortion clinic bombing priest (it *does* exist) or one of those "lets picket funerals of gay people" kind of religious leaders, you know you have an idiot factory. That those things are as un-Jesus-like as it can be does give Christianity a bad name.

Am I supposed to say that they have it bad? They don't, and their population is declining. I don't see why you're arguing that it's bad in Japan - the standard of living is high (and that's the median, not just the mean), they're culturally very rich, health is much better than ours, and Tokyo is one of funnest places I've ever been. Please explain.
I was giving my opinion when I said "how good they have it" as far as population density is concerned. Decreased land for parks, etc... But as a whole (from wikipedia): "Like other postindustrial countries, Japan faces the benefits as well as potential drawbacks associated with an aging population. While young populations such as those in sub-Saharan Africa inevitably face problems of crime, poverty, and underdevelopment, older populations enjoy a much higher quality of life. In 1989, only 11.6% of the population was 65 years or older, but projections were that 25.6% would be in that age category by 2030. However, those estimates now seem low given that 21.2% (as of April 2007) are already 65 and over, now the world's highest. The change will have taken place in a shorter span of time than in any other country." And of course the problems with growing very old such as chronic diseases. Yes birth rated have declined dramatically, but this is just locally. See here for more: http://www.globalaging.org/health/world/depopulationeuropejapan.htm The main point I am making, however, is that as a global whole, it makes an insignificant impact on the rest of the world's population. You may use birth control in *your* specific situation, and so may your neighbors and a few friends, but in reality (remember I'm talking globally, the BIG picture here) the entire human race continues to grow. Please see this chart: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:World_population_curve_-_log_y_scale.png edit: note the spike a little before 0: this is were the "civilization" begins, or you know from history class as Mesopotamia. They mention very little about the 10,000 years prior where everything was "stabilized." Crop lands in U.S. 2002: ( http://www.ers.usda.gov/StateFacts/US.htm) 434.16 million acres = 678,375 square miles Pasture lands (2002 same source): 395.28 million acres = 617,625 square miles Math by Google. This doesn't even include woodlands and protected area, etc. Total for those two (in 2002)is: **1,296,000 square miles** In 2002!! Five years ago!! Size of U.S.: **3,676,486 square miles** We're just gonna run out really quick. I know it's hard to believe, but it seems you genuinely care enough to ask for a serious explanation, there it is. You can use the sources and do the math yourself. It's unbelievable at first, but then it is undeniable: **We are going to consume his planet until there is nothing left to eat. We all know it deep down inside.**

It looks like most of these money either being stolen or frozen on bank accounts - because just 1/7th of them (or 40% of donations to religious organizations) could be [enough to eliminate hunger on Earth completely](http://world.globaltimes.cn/americas/2009-11/485622.html). But hunger is still here. Well, *there*. Religious people don't believe in god - they believe in religion.

It's a false choice. There is always a way to earn money. You might call it barter, but it's the same thing. Exchanging goods and services for other goods and services. I'm a big strapping man, if all jobs went away tomorrow I could easily hold a shovel or a hammer for a living. Worst case, I could hold a weapon for survival and, yes, I already have those. If you're proposing an entire societal collapse where each individual must survive on their own with no assistance and providing no assistance to others then we'd be fucked. There's no point in even considering it.
In case of entire societal collapse, the first one to Christina Aguilera WINS!

the hydrogen with two electrons would decay into regular hydrogen and an alpha particle(essentially just an electron), which would basically cause everything to become radioactive, which would heat up everything around hydrogen, causing the entire universe to explode! i think...
um....hydrogen with two electrons is called hydride. It is stable. It does not decay. And even if it did, it wouldn't cause anything to become radioactive. That only happens with neutrons...not electrons.

But considering the track record of video game movies and movies staring Mark Walberg, it was a safe bet it would be a piece of shit. EDIT- Why are people downvoting this comment? Marky Mark fans? Wtf?
IMDB has this film at 7.3 with 1,255 votes which is very good for a film on there. Did you look before you commented?

Just a note, and speaking only of Ontario -- there are virtually no subsidies for renewable energy here, other than the guaranteed rates. This helps to ensure that the only thing the taxpayer is on the hook for is the power that is actually generated. The cost per kilowatt is very high with nuclear and fossil fuel generation; it's just that many of those costs are hidden -- for nuclear, mostly in cost overruns in construction, maintenance, etc., for fossil fuel, in environmental costs -- whereas investing in renewable sources will probably (I hope) continue to pay off for many years to come.

Yep. This whole mess has me pretty worried. I'm just getting well enough established to have enough money to wonder what to do with the little I have extra beyond the basics. I've got to say that I'm sorely tempted to pick up a good rifle, scope, and reloading press. The other option would be to take some classes I want, but right now I'm not even sure I'll be able to stay where I am long enough to finish them if things go wrong. I may have to dip into my emergency fund and head back to the rural area I'm from. If that were the case, the rifle and reloading supplies start sounding really good, because my livelyhood will likely depend on being able to put meat on the table, and something tells me that competition is going to get nasty.
You're kidding yourself about the ability to sustainably supply your family with enough venison to survive. Unless you live hundreds of miles away from large population centers, and your local population is less than a guy/square mile. However, ability to shoot thy neighbor efficiently could become crucial. So it's not a bad investment, especially if you have a piece of land with running water in a remote rural place. In an urban setting, you should be concerned about water, food, arms and electricity. The probability is high you won't need all or maybe any of this, but this is how insurance works.

Usually I see vehicular efficiency as a unit distance per unit energy. mile/gallon of petrol km/liter of petrol Assuming that a quantity of petrol has a constant amount of energy (not really the case but nobody seems to note that). I think they went with km/MJ to stay with that precedent.
Elsewhere, its l/100 km, not mpg. It's a bad precedent: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/320/5883/1593

You need sources to accept that small 3 acre plots intensively farmed in an organic method won't scale to thousand acre megafarms, especially with the labor traditionally assigned to work such a farm?
I just assumed if you were going to state something like that as fact - you would have sources to back it up. edit: Don't you have to take into account the money saved on pesticides, water, etc and then compare that to the actual labor costs of an organic farm? I just wanted to see some numbers.

She was asked 3 times to specifically name a newspaper or magazine she reads and she never managed to answer the question. All of them? She reads every newspaper and magazine in existence? The thing that pisses me off most about Palin is she can't give a straight answer to a question even when someone asks the same question 3 times. Couric could sit there for an hour asking her to name a specific newspaper she reads and Palin would never actually answer the question.

It's probably doing nothing to our fertility. How close is a mouse's (or in the article, a rat's) fertility to our fertility? It could be like DDT- horrible when concentrated in bird eggs, zero effect on humans.
The big reason we test mice (for reproductive health issues) is that their reproductive system is nearly identical to our own. Except that their eggs are hardier. If a given concentration damages mouse reproduction, it's a safe bet that it damages human reproduction.
