"How Do You Sell an Algorithm To Venture Capitalists?"

First of all don't use Powerpoint. And by that I mean DO use Powerpoint and say the word Powerpoint as many times as you can.

Lets just say that free market types are more sceptical of AGW because they fear it will be used as an excuse to hand over more power to the government. Just as a communist (I notice you capitalized communism) would be sceptical of Stalin's attrocities because it tends to discredit communism. It's not a logical fallacy. It's an emotional reaction. No one is saying they don't believe AGW because they don't like one or more of the solutions. It's called "getting defensive."

While AGW is a hard sell for some people, there are others for whom it is a easy sell. Why is that? As Hillary Clinton said, "never waste a good crisis." In other words, global warming is good for government.

Winning an argument often takes precedence over seeking the truth. Just because your opponent is confounded does not make him wrong.

"I don't get it."

That much is obvious.

To the OP, i think you're looking for something like this: http://pogoplug.com/

The description clearly says "And as the whole unit spins, you aren't going to get dust build up (EVER)." Emphasis mine.

In other words, they're claiming zero dust build up because the unit spins. Not because of air filters. If you want to eliminate dust with the use of air filters you don't need a spinning heat sink.

This watch does not have any features and it's a bit expensive but it's got geek cred and it looks awesome. I get comments about mine all the time.

These are originals manufactured in 1975:

"We see a humbling yet beautiful view of ourselves.'"

Once again they want me to feel humble. Quite to the contrary, that little dot is a very small part of the universe and yet it's the only place we know for sure that life exists. That makes me feel pretty special.

Mustard gas is not a "weapon of mass destruction." It does go well with freedom fries though.

I don't remember a 'kill -9' in the original movie.

...someone did it right. Now somebody needs to go back and digitally alter the original film so that Flynn is entering legitimate Unix commands into the terminal instead of the made up BS they put in there.

Woah. Hold it. No one said anything about *three* slashes!

I'm wondering if there's some way you can part with your freedom while the rest of us retain ours.

Don't foist your ignorance on the rest of us. If you can't be bothered to educate yourself you have no business voting for anyone. Economics is not so hard to understand once you know how to filter out the propaganda.
