+1. This. Obama's plan is idiotic. Its a handout to insurance companies. Yeah we will fine people who don't buy insurance - but the companies still don't have to compete across state lnes. Great idea... The thing that gets me about Obama is how he is a such a failure as a liberal. A real...

I don't think so. The boxes are fairly compact - they would fit in the overhead I think. Some of them have nice handles too.

The problem is even at ZERO CO2 production for DECADES we would still have extremely elevated C02 levels. We are taking absolutely no serious steps to reduce C02 production on a world wide scale. At best countries are limiting their increase in CO2 production. But even Civil War levels of CO2...

I dunno. I used to be far more sympathetic to the green movement. The issue is how much prevention = how much cure. It sure SOUNDS good to say that an ounce of prevention is a pound of cure. In reality its likely an ounce of prevention is just that - one ounce. World population is GROWING...

I think global warming is real. I think scientists though need to move past that. 1) If it is real how much conservation would actually effect change? How much conservation is actually possible? Remember the third world is growing leaps and bounds. China is building coal plants around every...

Consoles are not for kids. They are proxy to move people from an open system (PCs) to a closed system (consoles). Microsoft, Apple, Sony and the rest NEVER REALLY WANTED to let computers be open. The current PC is open in both software and hardware - which from their perspective is CRAZY...

i feel the rise in mobile computing is confusing the analysts some. Yes, There is a whole class of people that really like and sort of need mobile computing. All the guys who spend alot of time away from home or the office and yet want to do minor computing tasks/games etc. In the cities this...

I get this is a joke. But interestingly enough - no. Porn is not profitable since you can get good enough porn for free..and it gets boring in like 10 minutes. 5 Billion in revenue last year I believe. That's like as much as Activision Blizzard makes in one year. That's fairly pathetic when one...

What it will bring is the likely death of one of the players in the console market.. I hope its Microsoft.. From a PC gamer perspective most of what XBOX/XBOX360 has done is divert attention from any push to improve PC gaming and the gaming experience on PCs. It has hurt windows media center...

Oh certainly I see where you are coming from. It's just that part of being a liberal is supposed to be championing individual human rights - whether its the right to smoke pot, get an abortion, get married if your gay etc. Having every single person tracked by the government and essentially...

For me the issue I have isn't so much the spying. It's that it was secret. Sure the current supreme court lackeys will twist the law to say different.. But I don't see any reading of the constitution that would allow limitless searching. ' "The right of the people to be secure in their...

I wouldn't say games are 'shit' but honestly the genre has moved forward a whole lot. Personally I had hoped for amazing AI - but playing even the best RPG like Skyrim - the world feels like a dead empty place.. If you compare it to something like Baldur's game - basically the biggest change is...

Raiding is the best mechanic game designers have come up with to keep people's interest in the end game. They have tried a bunch of other things - and none of them have worked, IMHO. So you can rant that you don't like raiding - but then go play GW2. Oh wait you say there is 'nothing to do in...

Microsoft and Sony basically see modern consoles to be locked down PCs - and Apple sees tablets and the fabled lock down Macs. When you buy these machines - you give the hardware makers a very nice guaranteed revenue stream. It's like a Ford car that you could only run with Ford gas...

They pulled money directly out of banks for the last round of the Greece Bailout. Don't think that couldn't happen here. If its electronic with a few keystrokes all your money is gone. Cash is king. Actually if more people used cash they wouldn't be broke . Its damn hard to part with alot...
