Given the extraordinary claim, it is up to Rossi and company to prove themselves correct.

The demo in question is not sufficient to convince anyone who doesn't already believe.

Or it may never have been in the device to begin with:
"The dummy reactor was switched on at 12:20 PM of 24 February 2014 by Andrea Rossi who gradually brought it to the power level requested by us. Rossi later intervened to switch off the dummy, and in the following subsequent operations on the E-Cat: charge insertion, reactor startup, reactor shutdown and powder charge extraction"

Get bad results.

Agriculture has been advancing as fast as any other technology field.

Here are some recent developments: http://www.popularmechanics.co...
and GPS is becoming important to farm competitiveness: https://www.bae.ncsu.edu/topic...

None of this depending on massive fixed installations, so it can be used cost effectively over thousands of acres of fields.

I know a few people who would actually remember to charge their phones given wireless tech that don't now.

All they need is to put the charger by their bed and they're set.

Hmm, my browser failed to render your sarcasm tags.

Sometimes you have a need for a minimal terminal interface.

For me it's usually because I managed to break X playing with new drivers (again!) and I need something to fix it in.

So I should be crippled to 80x24 while I do that when better could be available?

Older than that. A bit of research shows that it goes back millenia, and a bit of thought behind "what would move a person to such a hypothesis?" suggests that it is as old as men trying to justify rape.

Statistical analysis is a biggie for math usage, and it applies across many business domains.

It's not glamorous, but it needs to be done.

TCP/IP is transport neutral. There were plenty of token ring networks back in the day, and quite a few multi-user internet nodes at smaller schools were single minicomputers connected by "high-speed" modem to larger schools that had real networks.

But it was still "The Internet".

Methinks the gentleman doth protest too vehemently.

Take it fron an old-school conservative and veteran: what we have out there on the "political right" are a bunch of authoritarian extremists that mainly serve as the "tick" to the not-quite-so-right-wing "tock" of the other side.

Nixon would have been branded a raving communist fascist by this bunch, too "liberal" to even run as a Democrat in many parts of the country.

Misquote and wrong amendment.

There were probably quite a few guns in the audience, this being Colorado and all.

But consider the tactical situation and that he was reportedly wearing a ballistic vest and riot helmet.

How do we know that nobody tried to shoot him?

Giving up liberty for safety is a fool's bargain, because you are *never* guaranteed safety.

Anybody who tells you that they can guarantee your safety just wants control over you.

It was a movie theater.

The mass murder weapon of choice is gasoline and a match.

This guy was after notoriety.

Death is the only thing that is certain.

This sounds like an opportunity to *live*.
