Comment How about a useful website? (Score 1) 138

First, learn how to create a useful website. This guy's site says "Telephone Solutions", but when I look in what should be the Products tab, I find....a fax server. Really? No mention anywhere about what telephony solutions they have other than that fax server. I'm surprised that he's still in business, though it's probably due to word of mouth referrals for regular IT consulting stuff. Advertise, man! Give all of your products and solutions easy and prominent mention with lots of details so that people can easily understand what you do.

Comment Re:Altitude Sickness... (Score 1) 80

No offense, but those friends of yours are wimps. I live in Georgia, am 59 years old, smoke cigarettes and do not exercise regularly. OTOH, I'm also not obese...However, each year for the last 3 years, my son and I have traveled to Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Park (one of the best I've ever seen, BTW) for a weeklong bout of trail hiking. Most of the trailheads are in the 7-8K ft range, with many of the trails reaching 10,000 ft and more. Certainly, we were both pausing more frequently as the elevation rose, but altitude sickness at 10,000 feet? Not a bit that either of us experienced.

I submit, sir, that this view misses the point. Horrific as they are, rape and molestation are in the same legal category as, say, murder. If a murderer is released, but not required to submit to a "murderers registry", why are these the only crimes for which the ancient principle of "once a person has done their time and paid their debt to society, they are citizens once again" does not apply? Of course, the answer is the same reason we are still - in 2012/2013 openly discussing contraception and abortion - we are a very Puritanical people when it comes to sex. Violence, not so much.....

Seeing as you are using the loaded terms "far left", "Union goon", "eco-lawyer" and - for some reason - feel compelled to capitalize "STUDENT", your credibility is sorely lacking in any kind of truly intelligent discussion. Move along - the talk radio fest is starting and you don't want to miss your daily dose of anti-intellectualism, rampant paranoia, fear-mongering and sloganeering. PS - for some reason you omitted ACORN. I know they don't exist anymore but that hasn't seemed to stop the screeching about them....

Comment Re:Is gold is cheaper than silicon? (Score 1) 64

Look - obviously they're talking about a radically different technique of manufacturing so it's a little bit of apples and oranges. Having said that, you're fundamentally correct in that the even more radical difference in price of the basic building blocks makes it questionable as to the ultimate cost effectiveness. BTW, kudos to these guys for pushing the envelope!!!

Comment Sure - don't go (Score 0) 218

Let's be real - China is a Communist dictatorship, period. Yes, they furnish most of our consumer (and soon industrial) products, but at the end of the day they are a totalitarian dictatorship and if you plan on going there, keep that foremost in your mind. Unlike even the RIAA, they will shoot you dead if you screw with them.
