I'm going to thank the unions for gutting the manufacturing.

Thank you union a**holes!

If we can shoot the spammers, can we then go after the dolts on tv selling snake oil as well?

I'd go after the guys who sell:
Get Rich in Real-Estate books
Medical Crap that people don't want you to know books
Spray this crap in your dog dish to make them feel better
FreeCreditReport.com
FinallyFast.com
Get-out-of-debt
Send us your gold
Class-action-law-suit for some health condition
and any kind of exercise equipment.

Wireless or not doesn't matter.
Small footprint for usage.
Easy to clean by popping out trackball.

The answer 42 now makes perfect sense.

Can't we keep the same unit when comparing something? e.g. " ... that can be written in just 100 nanoseconds. Existing flash memory takes 100,000 nanoseconds"

If we legalize marijuana, that means we are going to tax it and collect taxes on it. Do you think the price of marijuana in the store will be more or less than the price you can pay on the street? So, if you buy it from your friend, but you didn't pay tax on it to the government, is that a legal transaction? Will the government classify your weed as illegal and seize it? (Think of moonshine ...)

Also, what makes you think the government is competent enough to pass a law that won't benefit big business somehow and screw something else over?

I had to take a personality test several years ago and the HR manager showed me my results. After she read the results, I told her that they were interesting, but as valid as my horoscope.

I suspect that there are people from all over the world involved in this project, including the US.

Why would you visit a website you "fucking hate"?

That sounds like the definition of a moron.

Great. Lets say for arguments sake that global warming is a reality. What the heck are we supposed to do about it? Even if no more green house gas goes into the atmosphere starting Jan 1, 2009, the climate will still change. AFAIK there is no solution proposed to reverse the trend of GW.

And if the US/Western nations decides to crack down on green house gases, India and China aren't going to - they aren't about to stop their industrial revolutions.

We're as doomed as doomed can be.
