As for detectable pesticide residue, that just means washing your veggies, something you're SUPPOSED to do, organic or non organic(E-coil spinach anyone?) and not eating your pork/chicken undercooked. Unless you want salmonella and trichonosis. Actually this is even more important with 'organic' fo...

You would need to do more than just change the vocal chords. The articulatory muscles of the throat and mouth, the size and shape of the air ducts, the strength and positioning of the diaphragm, etc. Hell, just because they are not strictly bipedal vocal communication will be radically different. C...

Honestly not the best of episodes, a little more thought into why the Daleks fear the place and why it exists other than the beauty of hate. I think the biggest missed opportunity here is Oswin herself. A converted human was okay but with the IC Daleks all being from past battles and her room being ...

I've never seen any checking on the poor souls after they're adults. I doubt it looks so rosy. There is a disturbing lack of follow-up data on the people subjected to this 'treatment'. Since its only applied to children the watchdogs only seem to care until they hit 18. It should be noted that Lova...

I can't say I'm surprised by this, given the way I've seen Paul's supporters behave. A bit disgusted, sure. But not surprised. As has been said, his followers tend toward the fanatical end of things. As to the GOP "trying to make people not vote for them" thing... This isn't the GOP. Ron ...

I think George Carlin had the best idea: I've got an idea about homelessness. Do you know what they ought to do? Change the name of it. It's not "homelessness", it's "houselessness". It's houses these people need. A home is an abstract idea, a home is a setting, it's a state of m...

PS. does the Townhall comment section only allow retarted posts? I skimmed over it and couldn't find a single voice of reason Pretty much yeah. Anything, rational sounding or not, that is against certain view points gets deleted. Back to Palin, she pretty much is a Captain Planet villain, or at lea...

I suppose they indirectly might suffer some minute economic loss, but I doubt very much anyone is seriously opposed to gay marriage because of the minute change in potential government money for everyone else.. especially since spending more money than is actually avaialbe is quite the touchstone o...

What about signal attenuation ? There should be a limit where existing radio technology simply can't decipher what the probes are sending anymore. There is but the probes simply won't last long enough to reach that point. At the farthest point the high frequency transmissions will no longer be inte...

Ultimately, the limiting factors for the Voyager spacecraft are twofold (ignoring random instrument failure.) First, the power output of the RTGs has been declining continuously since launch, owing to the radioactive decay of the nuclear fuel used in them. The second is that the thermocouples used ...

Oh boy, this is a can of worms with no end. Sometime after Andromeda received the appellation 'Highest Rated syndicated action show', which they immediately put into the advertising Kevin Sorbo demanded Executive Producer, developer and head writer Robert Hewitt Wolfe be fired. Sorbo couldn't unders...

Really the best introduction to Doctor Who I've seen is this review of the very first episode. He lays many of the concepts out for people who have only seen the new series or haven't seen any. Though it just may be that William Hartnell remains my favorite Doctor. Though I recommend watching all of...

Properly animating smoke and dust in vacuum would actually be a small technical milestone in film making. To best of my (albeit limited) knowledge there is no of the shelf software available that can accurately simulate particles in vacuum of space. I suppose you could do it with a ship model in a ...

I know that I really, really shouldn't let little things like physics and logic bother me in a Michael Bay Movie, but when something crashes on the moon and leaves a visible train of fire and smoke as it skids across the surface, with clouds of dust somehow suspended in the vacuum around it ... app...

I've been a Doctor Who fan for a very long time, long enough I've seen several of the 'lost episodes' on TV when I was very young. And Sarah was one of my favorite companions, certainly my favorite female companion. After austere Liz and bubbly Jo, Sarah seemed to share so much more of the Doctor's ...

According to a few peers who are in the know, it's not what the hype machine is saying. The most reasonable speculation I've heard is that this is about organisms with an arsenic biochemistry in Mono Lake. This makes sense, since at least one of the researchers who's name is on the paper has been i...

I justed remebered a movie that was awful, but the creatures were pretty scary. Virus (1999) had Donald Sutherland & Jamie Lee Curtis in it. Basically an evil energy creature for space infects a Russian communications ship. An American salvage crew finds the ship only to discover that something...

American politics is hell . Do I like that fact? No. But that's how it is and that's how it's always been. And I don't know how to fix it. Actually compared to a lot of countries American politics have become down right tame. In countries like Turkey, Mexico, Italy, South Korea, and Taiwan, fist fi...

Maybe settle on a style, screen play, narrative, first person, third person, whatever, and do more to set up events. Describe scenery, actions etc. It seems like your characters mostly exist toe exchange dialogue. Still better than anything I've done of course... Yeah defiantly not my best work, I ...

Apologies for any grammatical mistakes or awkward lines, all my beta readers seem to have fallen off the world. Disclaimer: I don't own Star Trek. Star Trek: Infection. [Captain's log. Stardate 56869.08, today I leave the Endeavor , I'm sad to see her go. I survived the Borg, Orion pirates, and othe...

Damn when I read the thread title I thought someone had opened a wastewater treatment facility and was giving a portion of the profit to help Autistics and the FDA was trying to ruin it. This is worse than that... An I can agree with Broomstick, I had that issue when my dyslexia was first diagnosed...

The whole thing is such a farce. This really encapsulates it: Blair could not be reached for comment Thursday. In audio archives of his radio show, Blair discusses the mural. He insists the controversy isn't about racism but says the mural is intended to create racial controversy where none existed...

Artists Pressured To Change Skin Color Of Students In Arizona Mural A group of artists has been asked to lighten the faces of children depicted in a giant public mural at a Prescott school. The project's leader says he was ordered to lighten the skin tone after complaints about the children's ethni...

That leaves the Silurians which was a bit lopsided in the telling, because the moderate Silurian had been killed leaving the extremists in charge who tried to wipe out humans with a biological weapon. I sure hope that was in a deleted scene in some shit. Actually this makes sense, the extremist did...

I know the reason for the companion existing in the first place. What I meant was that the function is not important anymore. We the audience know the doctor. From that viewpoint, the companion becomes redundant unless she has a special skillset that the doctor does not have or that there is some o...
