Muslims don't have to try very hard to make me hate their culture and religion. I cannot even begin to summarize the rage I feel in light of this and it's violation of the basic right to free speech it infringes upon.ZevianderThis isn't exclusive to Islam, it's just that currently most (if not all, I don't know) of the world's theocracies are Muslim. I'm sure that if fundamentalist Christians, for example, had their way the US would also have very similar laws to what you see in Islamic theocracies. This is just what happens when you let fundamentalists of any religion get full control of the government in a country.

I've had this problem with them as well. They told me it was a problem with my house's wiring and not a signal problem on their end, but considering my neighbors had the exact same problem (and would have their internet go down at the exact time mine did and I'm talking about outages on a near daily basis) I knew that was bs. I've been much happier ever since I moved to a new area and got Cox. Unfortunately I doubt OP has much of a choice considering ISPs typically hold monopolies in a particular area.I'll put it to you strait, THEY ARE CRAP. The internet is off and on slow at some times. I'd stay away if I were you.

[QUOTE="BluRayHiDef"]Can this somehow be advanced in order to make instant transportation of Humans possible?FMAB_GTO[QUOTE="sepulchrave from UM"]Briefly, quantum teleportation refers to the process of: Destroying an object at position A, In the process, encoding all the information about that object on to some carrier wave, Sending the carrier wave to position B, Destroying the carrier wave but in the process constructing a new object identical to the original one. So they don't really teleport a photon, they simply teleport the information and ``write'' that information on a new photon. As and then mentions, since a photon is a quanta of light this does not seem that remarkable. The key thing (as mentioned in some of the comments in linked story) is information security; this sort of thing is one approach to quantum encryption. But ultimately it is just a bit of a parlour trick; to quantum teleport something you need the original object to exist in a coherent quantum state and to be able to entangle that state with a carrier wave. For photons, single electrons, etc. this is doable. For a buckyball (C60) this is probably possible at extremely low temperatures. For a single virus or microbe, it could well be impossible. For an actual macroscopic object it is almost certainly impossible, unless the object is practically at 0 K in a complete vacuum in flat space. I don't understand any of this btw >.> They didn't achieve actual teleportation. What they did was tantamount to taking an object, blowing it up, and then sending a letter to a place 97km away telling them how to make an identical copy of the thing that was blown up, and then upon building an identical replica of that thing they declared they had created teleportation. The rest of what you copied is saying that the process could be applied to something as large as moderately-sized molecules, but nothing bigger.
I hate this line English majors always spout. It implies that no one in science likes their jobs and that anyone who isn't an English major can't write for shlt. In reality, plenty of science majors can write well, and in fact it's necessary if you want to have success with grants and publications. And of course we enjoy our fields. Why would we subject ourselves to 4-12 years of hellishly difficult material and ramen noodles when we could just go major in business and make six to seven figures that way? Sorry to break it to the English majors, but you have one of the most worthless majors in academia. No one cares that you're good at critiquing Shakespear or can write creatively. Everyone in this country speaks English, and everyone can write English. Furthermore, writing WELL in English is pretty much a requirement for any profession, so you have no advantage there either. Even assuming you do write better than anyone else, it doesn't matter if you don't have the skills and knowledge for that profession. Maybe you could make the argument that you're more competitive as a business/english double major or a nuclear engineering/english double major, but as just a plain old english major you have nothing important to bring to the table.I mean, we still need people who are poweful behind the pen. No way can we disregard that. Sure, engineering may earn you more money... but do any of you even like engineering?

Law school anyone? Screw math, useless crap. Become a lawyer and earn the real money.jointedLaw is so glutted these days that unless you graduate from a top 20 law school you have a minimal chance of making good money as a lawyer. If you look at the statistics for income for lawyers you'll find it's a bimodal distribution, with a large peak at $40,000 per year and another, smaller peak, above $100,000 per year. Also, most other fields are in the same boat, including math and science. The only way to make a good living with science is to either go into certain fields of engineering or become a physician (which is tantamount to shltting out a diamond these days). This is the problem you get when you triple a country's population in half a century and eliminate all the middle class jobs that didn't require extensive education.
It's funny, but most Christians don't follow any of the teachings of Jesus because as it turns out Jesus espoused a pretty high moral standard that is really inconvenient for most people. They'd much rather pretend that Jesus wanted them to be greedy as hell and wage wars.Leave it to a religious nutjob to miss the point of his own religion and misquote the holy book in an effort to deprive the poor of food.

ITT: "I could have done that" - Yes, but you didn't. If you're gonna' complain about her, or the aesthetical or commercial value found in abstract pieces of art in general, you could by the same token complain about absolutely anyone, in every aspect of life, who did something that you didn't, as long as it is theoretically possible for yourself to reproduce their results. That's a pretty g*y attitude, in case you were wondering.BiancaDKNo one is saying that. Rather people are saying "I DID do that". The only thing that people didn't do was have well connected parents who could con retarded art "aficionados" into paying tons of money for drawings a baby made while crapping in her pants. Also, "I could do that" is a valid criticism of modern abstract art. When a piece obviously took no talent whatsoever to create it really is a completely reasonable reaction to ask why anyone should give it any attention at all when there are no shortage of thoughtful pieces out there that also took a large amount of talent and skill to create.
