I used them (75 watt) in a homemade box lined with tinfoil at work for as long as I was working. Wrap a frozen chicken breast or other type of meat and some veggies and put them in the box and you have a slow cooker. It would be done to perfection by lunch. Made many a meal this way.

Depends on the Month as well as the year. I was born 1949 and by your figures (2010-1949) I should be 61. I was born in late December of 49 and my age is 60 at present, which it will be until my birthday in December.

Did you notice that it was on "the Onion" website? That's all "the Onion" is, a site with a comedy take on everything. Check out some of their vids and you will understand.

I lost mine for a week. It rained the whole week so I didn't get out to look for it. After the rain stopped I was in the duck pin and found it. It fell out of my pocket while I was feeding the ducks and geese and they stomped it into the mud. I wiped it down and wrapped it in tissue, placed it on a heating pad for a couple of days before I tried it. Other than some calcium residue it powered up and is still working a year later.

I do not disagree with you on this point. Your analogy with the salesman is how I see it as well. As a show pony he's great. As for him being any more than that, it's really hard to tell. Thus, what he says and what he does do not match.

Lets see now. Who filled their cabinet posts with lobbyist after vowing not to? Who campaigned with the transparency pledge then developed a health care plan behind closed doors and limited examination of the bill to 72 hours before the vote?? How did that stimulus bill work out for the middle class and poor of the country? What has this guy done to help this country? You don't need to believe what any news the media "filters". Listen to the mans own words and match what he says and what he does for yourself. They don't add up. What gives you reason to believe this or anything else he says? If he has a plan, why not present it now? Learn from the past. The spin you need to watch out for is coming from him.

Why were the FBI wanting to search his computer in the first place? The fact that they had to ask meant they didn't have a warrant. American law allows you to confront your accuser. That means a person or persons who told the FBI he had CP on his computer. Unless the FBI did an illegal search with some kind of stealth program to access his computer with out his knowledge or someone turned him in they wouldn't have been there in the first place. It is never a good idea to let the authorities search any place or possession (like a car) when they ask. I don't care is I get pulled over for speeding or not having my seatbelt on I would never allow a search request. You give up a lot of rights by allowing it. Just the fact you can be arrested for doing what is right shows you can't expect fair an honest treatment form any law-enforcement agency. It's a fact you can download anything with any name and it not be what you thought or expected to get. It's a fact that should you get something of that nature it's hard to get rid of without leaving a trace. It's a fact that you can not count on any government agency to do what is right. It's a fact that a PD doesn't have the same motivation a paid for lawyer has in getting you cleared of what ever you are charged with. It is also a fact that there are those in the system who will do whats right. You just can't take the chance all of those people will be the ones working on your case. And of course there is those twelve jurors who, for the most part haven't got a clue, being manipulated by the court. If you believe you are innocent of what ever charges hove been brought against you, pleading guilty can seal your fate. Should new evidence show up at a later date your "confession" could torpedo any chances of your getting out even if proved innocent. My point is that neither he nor any other person is doing him/her self a favor by accepting a plea bargain. It's not much of a bargain for you. Just them.

I have a Samsung TV conneted to the net. The picture isn't as bad as you would think playing YouTube content and some other stuff. It can also play media from any computer on the home network, except from Linux boxes (windows only). The BlueRay DVD players have the ability of streaming built in to them, and Samsungs is Netflix ready. It will play movies from Netfix if you have an account there.

Both. If I want to change things here or there it won't get done by bitching about it. In Iran's case they elected the government they got. Here we elected the government we got. If the election was rigged it's up to the citizens to fix the problem. The choices are just two. Put up or change. You may want to suggest leaving as an option, but that is the same as putting up with the problem. You are running to avoid dealing with it.

Maybe it's time to do something over there. If you don't like the government's deciding what you can and can't do, you have the option to change it. But you won't be able to do that on Twitter or any other on-line option. Physical action may be your only choice. As you have seen, the ones in power will stay there by any means necessary. It's your country, you solve the problem. That's what we did in America. If you don't want to act, you deserve what you get.

Like anyone in their right mind would take the advice from MS on fashion issues. They have a hard enough time trying to keep their OS running and that's their main job. If they can't do that I hardly think their fashion advice will be any better.

It wouldn't be the first time, and won't be the last.

More likely it's ripping off these people. http://hackaday.com/2009/05/17/magic-wands-for-disney/ They released open source code for their project here. http://gitorious.org/fantasia

Just so happens we have a Somalian Pirate over here right now! What luck!

I agree. We have the same problem in the US for the same reasons. Tricks and deception are the tools of politics. I wonder if the reason is that so many politicians are lawyers? It won't get better until the people as a nation make it change.
