It's the name of the folder that my spell check program is installed in. ;-)

It's a niche market currently. As soon as more goggles (or whatever they'll be called) become available, and especially low cost versions become available, that will change. At that point they will be able to be used for more than just gaming. Who wouldn't want to be able to carry around their own movie screen? I'm sure some sort of WiFi (HDMI wireless or something) screen sharing won't be too far behind at that point either.

History is full of people saying things will fail that are now commonplace. How many people said the iPod or iPad would be a flop? People said the same about the GUI, homeless carriage, and any number of things.

Depending on the size of the site, it should be possible to replace some portion of the lights at a time. You could even do the first round of replacements and then use the savings from the next (couple) of electric bills to replace the next round of lamps and continue to do so until all have been updated.

Of course in the real world the first round of lights would be replaced and the savings from that would go directly to the CEO's quarterly bonus I suppose.

For what it's worth, Wikipedia states: When the PC Engine Duo launched in Japan on September 21, 1991,

AKA TurboDuo in North America.

Perhaps they should stop using the reamining stock and switch to the remaning list. If there aren't any there, they can go to the reimaging stock.

I can imagine a flight out of Orlando Florida in August could easily make this worthwhile. I'm not sure if speed makes any actual difference for the number of bugs that get hit, but it always seemed like I had a lot more bugs splattered on my car when I drove faster. If so, a plane certainly hits higher speeds than I have in a car.

I wonder if this will eliminate the need to deice planes in the winter. Or if will cause issues with it repelling the deicing fluid they spray on the planes when it's cold.

I'm guessing you're younger than I am, as Three Mile Island is what did in nuclear power in the US. The movie, The China Syndrome coming out at th he same time even gave the media a catchy term to go with it. Chernobyl was just more proof for the masses to realize how correct they were in their fears. Or that's what the no nuke crowd successfully told everyone.

Isn't a dwarf planet still a planet? Or did it get demoted to an asteroid recently and I missed it?

A couple of fender benders during rush hour on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and it will take 5-6 hours to go 4 car lengths. ;-)

You must be new here.

How very presumptuous of of you.

If Amazon is going to stop selling the Confederate battle flag, then why are they still selling the Japanese battle flag? How many millions of Chinese citizens died under this flag?

How may native Americans died under the 26 star American flag? There were at least 12 million native Americans killed in the US under various iterations of the American flag. Why should that still be sold by Amazon? Oh yeah, because there's less than a quarter million of them left to complain.

Someone can be offended by just about anything on the planet. This is just getting silly.

Does it? I was born in the northeast and am now located in the south. Race riots were in full swing when I was a kid. I have no love for the Confederate anything and don't feel it should be flown on federal buildings, and probably not state buildings either. But if someone wants to purchase one, then they damn well should be allowed to.

I don't hang out with racists, so I don't know what that flag represents to everyone who chooses to display it. If they claim it's not due to racism, then I'm inclined to believe it. The civil war is over and the south lost. I wasn't around 150 years ago, so I'll reserve judgement on what it was over. But if someone feels it simply represents their heritage, then so be it. In the city I live in, it's been part of the city seal for well over 100 years. Now there's debate about changing this. The British flag is also part of that seal. Shouldn't it be removed too? After all, at one point it represented oppression too.

The swastika was around for a couple thousand years before the Nazi party decided to adopt it as their symbol. (and no, I'm not trying to Godwin this post, it's just a very commonly known symbol). If a group can adopt a symbol that is meant to represent prosperity and turn it into what is now associated with evil. Why can't a flag that represented something bad be reclaimed as something else? It is happening with all kinds of things these days. There's a Jewish magazine called "Heeb". That was considered a very derogatory term when I was much younger. I've been referred to as "nigga" by friends, which I find offensive no matter who it comes from. But it's the intent that's more important than the word, symbol, or flag in this case.

It's supposed to be a free country. If someone wants to be a racist ass, then so be it. As long as they aren't infringing on anyone else's rights, they should be free to be as stupid as they wish to be. The First Amendment is not there to protect speech that everyone agrees with.

Obviously. That's why I added the last sentence to my post. I currently have a 2003 Olds Aurora. It's getting difficult to find certain parts for it. But there aren't a lot of them and they aren't something that people are looking to modify. Plus with GM killing Olds...

Years ago I had a Cadillac Seville that parts were scarce for before it was 10 years old. I needed a new pan for the transmission when it was 8 years old. It was discontinued and no one had one in stock, nor could I source one from a junkyard. Apparently everyone else bottomed those out too. I ended up getting a machine shop to fix it. I got 320,000 miles out of that car. It just wouldn't die.
