Their is also a huge logical fallacy on your part using this argument...
Copper can cut limestone and with sand as an abrasive can cut granite. I've seen plenty of documentaries that demonstrate that this can be done. Just an hour ago I saw Christopher Dunn, author of "The Giza Power Plant", drilling a hole in granite with a copper tube and sand on the History...
Men dressing up in silly outfits for good times involving drugs,sex, and other questionable activities. Shocking!
Wait...are we talking about rich white dudes or biker gangs or Bloods and Crips or college toga parties? I smell conspiracy. Or it could just be barf. :D
Here is another great technology that has come online only in the last few years. It's call Plasmagasification. It takes garbage, including stuff from landfills, and hazardous industrial and medical waste, both solid and liquid, and disintegrates it in a noncombustion manner with Plasma to get...
I agree. But having more choices spurs competition that can drive costs down for consumers. It's a necessary step toward ultimately using no fossil fuels just as hybrid cars are a good step toward practical and affordable all electric cars. Make me a all-electric car that costs $30,000 or...
Good to hear from you David. Hope MacWorld was good for you.
Photoshop is a history making program. It's now a verb. Combined with a Wacom tablet it is an artist's dream tool especially when they added layers.

Who cares about AGW arguments? You clearly are obsessed with this subject. There are other more important issues to me that effect us right now. Do you...
Maybe you should read the article. You've made some assumptions that are not supported by the article and ignored other rather amazing, if true, breakthroughs. Rather disappointed by your thin skin attitude regarding AGW and your knee-jerk negative reaction to this story.
It is a...
A new company emerging from secrecy about to go public with a revolutionary fuel cell that may put a power plant in every home. No joke.

Thanks for reminding me that I don't belong here. I've broken a self-imposed ban on getting involved in conspiracy threads. I'm sorry I spent time on my last post. I want my 15 minutes back. I could have been watching Jersey Shore or been cleaning lint from my belly button.

David,
I hope you change your mind. I don't know what happened to make you do this but it must be something bad. There was a time when I wanted to walk away from everything after the end of a relationship with someone I thought was my dream girl. This was when I landed a dream job too. It...
LOL. I respect your honesty.
