Attempting to paint the issue in an idealistic fashion is risky. Often people use the 'we can't actually fix the problem' as an excuse for inaction. Actually, this made me think a second more (hard to believe I know.) Some times, action of any kind, is better than no action at all. But sometimes, b...

To take your example a step further, there are several people who will take the advice of a physician with no question good or bad, just as there are several people who will never trust a doctor and not get medical attention no matter how sick they are. I would think however that physicians have an ...

War of the Worlds - 9/10 - It didn't need a plot of 'how one man saves the world' but just showed the survival experiance.

Sure lots of 'why would aliens do that?' stuff, but then so does every science fiction movie.

Ok. I didn't read this whole thread but here is my take: Science, and scientists, have an incomplete picture of the natural world when it comes to something as complicated as the climate. Any information gathered to date is only a miniscule portion of data compared to the age of the planet, even whe...

I asked a Unix consultant in a previous life why it was still so difficult to configure certain settings (like an IP address/mask) compared to a windows box and his answer was:

"No one's gonna pay me $200/hr to type 12 digits and click 'OK' are they?"

Crash - 9/10 Even though you may know its one of those 'impossible coincidence' movies, it works and really grabs you. National Treasure - 8/10 - Simple fun. Kinda like an Indiana Jones. Episode 3 - 8/10 - Much better than 1 or 2, still lags behind the others. THe first and last 40 minutes are worth...

People who put a budget on their camera purchase don't know what they're doing. You can get a Canon Digital Rebel XT for a few hundred more, and you'll use it for a very long time. By that logic I'll just keep upping the budget until I'm spending $23,000. I don't want an SLR, this is more for fun t...

Digital Camer suggestions from all you shutterbugs

I want to purchase a new digital camera and am looking for suggestions. From what I know (which isn't much): More megapixals are somewhat better but not the end all be all. The CCD in the camera and the lense are more important. Optical Zoom is better than digital zoom. The thing is, I like to exper...

That segment is mostly selevtive editing. The folks who answer the questions correctly wouldn't be 'entertaining.'
