The PS3 price will plummet, you mean?
Or the X-box One price will plummet once the PS3 comes out? Or both? I'm sorry. I'm confused. __________________

I guess Dan meant that the PS3 will go down in prices once its successor, the PS4, comes out.
That remark was probably meant as a suggestion for you to consider buying a PS3 -- capable of playing Blu-Rays yet reasonably priced __________________

Ah, thanks for translating.
It's a good point. But I'm asking for my Wii console as a birthday present. I'd feel awful asking for something that was even more expensive than what the Wii will cost. __________________

Albert Einstein's nonsense being exposed at long last
l always roll my eyes when people speak about Einstein being a genious, for he was the funny fellow that came up with the ABSURD theory that nothing can travel faster than light, LOL. Us meditators have always known different and have always seen that guy for what he was, a guy full of nonsense. Scientists examine new speed of light theory – USATODAY.com Was Einstein wrong? Speed of light appears to have been broken | TG Daily Even some of Einstein's colleagues referred to him as an "idiot". When further investigation occured, it looks like he was a plant trying to dumb down western science with silly man made theories with no grounding on reality. l am glad this fraud has finally been exposed. __________________

This is the first time I've heard that colleagues of Einstein used to call him an idiot. I tried looking it up, to see what sort of genius would find Albert Einstein worthy of such an epithet, but the only thing I could come up with was a wikiquote entry arguing that a quote attributed to Einstein could not be duly attributed to him.
So, help me out here, which of his colleagues called him an idiot? I'm sure he must have been called an idiot at some point. I'd just be curious to find out by whom. As to his theory of relativity being proven wrong by CERN's blasted neutrinos... I would just like to point out, with respect, that you're referencing articles published in 2011. Nothing wrong at all with that, but I have a couple of articles I found by typing "neutrinos speed of light debunked" into a Google search that seem to indicate that, as of 2012, the scientific community remained satisfied that Einstein theory on the speed of light being the fastest there is still held. Science Insider The Week New York Times - Science Section I've said it before and allow me to say it again. Science is not really my thing. I don't really understand most of it, to be honest. Which is ironic considering that I'm the daughter of a physicist and the sister of a aerodynamics mechanical engineer, and that I work in Patent Law. That's neither here nor there. I'm just trying to say that I don't expect anything I post here to be taken over seriously. It does occur to me, though, that science is constantly evolving. Isn't it the whole point of science, that it keeps evolving? Anyway, taking that as my premise, I would argue that had Einstein's theory (heck, had all of his theories) proven to be nothing but old tosh... I'm not really sure that would make him an idiot. A lot of scientists in Ancient Greece have been proven completely wrong on just about every level. Doesn't mean they were idiots. As for meditation in relation to the theory of the speed of light... this might be the part where I demonstrate beyond the shadow of a doubt the depth of my own foolishness, but I was under the impression that Einstein had published his theory of relativity under the title "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies," by which I assumed he meant physical bodies. Not, you know, astral or otherwise. __________________

Honestly, I'm all for exposing misinformation agents, I just fail to see how refuting that theory of Einstein's would simultaneously prove that he had been used as a misinformation plant? Plus, as Sunny's links point out, it hasn't even been proved that those faster-than-light neutrinos actually were faster than light... __________________

Yeah, I should have said that I'm also all for exposing charlatans and frauds.
I'm just not sure Einstein was one. __________________

The truth is that I understand very little of these articles explaining outerspace exploration bits like that. But the images they have are so spectacular, even when you know it's an artist rendering. And there's just something mind-blowing even thinking about a cloud slowly making its way across space towards a black hole. __________________

Hm.
The thing is that I like a lot of it, but I wonder how realistic it all is. I mean, obviously, as a woman, I'm all for banning porn depicting rape. If it's a real rape. I'm not really into monitoring people's fantasies and, let's face it, plenty of actual bona fide films have depictions of rape, and I don't think they're about to be made illegal. Not a fan of rape (in case that actually needs to be mentioned). I just wonder how a government legislates fiction. But, overall, I think this is a great move. __________________

I don't even think that monitoring every downloaded or streamed porn is possible on such a scale as to make sure there's no material depicting rape circulating

Well, I know someone who once worked for the Canadian "censorship" board and basically her job was to look at porn to make sure that the actresses didn't seem like they were under duress and were credibly "of age."
So obviously there are some ways of monitoring stuff, although I've no idea how that applies to the web, to be honest. I still can't believe I come down on the side of allowing rape porn videos to be distributed. But I do think that it can be a pointless effort. __________________

Well, obviously, it's cruddy not to pay the money you owe. But I think it's a bit cruddier of his friends to have left him with that tab. I mean, even if he racked it all up on his own, what kind of friends are these that they can't spot him the cash for a spell? Obviously, what Zelaznog did was wrong. Of course. __________________
