Your statements are either out of ignorance or hate/bigotry.

Hundreds of rockets were fired at Israel in the past month alone. Israel didn't respond. Finally Israel said if you don't stop, we will respond. And what happened? The rocket fire rate increase. Even now, as Israel makes half attempts to stop the rocket fire with limited strikes, they have offered Gaza a ceasefire if they stop the rocket attacks. Gaza refused, saying they want to fight this war to the bitter end. The Gazans only have themselves to blame for drawing a reluctant Israel into a pointless war.

Feel bad for all the rational civilians who are caught up in this nonsense on both sides, but don't act like the Palestinians are innocent victims.

hmmm...more like long term space colony. not permanent.

well, 16 potassium atoms, well that clears things up.

Well, there are plenty of them out there for you. Go breed with them.

Here's a current gen deal: xbox 360 for $150
Deal has expired; but they come and go.

Oh, you mean the xbox one or PS4; well those are the latest gen, but xbox360/PS3 are still current gen.
In fact, they are much better consoles to own for now. More games. Cheap games. Used games available.

Not really. There's a small subset of games, typically at much higher price points and late to market. I get 25 games for free each yr with XBOX LIVE GOLD, and pick up many AAA titles for $5 to $15 via on demand sales.

You can find an xbox360 for $100 on ebay/craigslist these days...or get a new one for $200. It's not just money though, there's no updating it, no viruses, no booting up and shutting down, no installing games, etc. It just works. And if it does break, just toss it or sell it on ebay and buy a new one. No need to spend hours/days trying to resurrect it.

...Facebook Campus tour guide enters the room: "and this is where we harvest our future employees" ...robots whirl around and push nutrients into sacs.

Only plenty of facebook like companies will be more than happy to fund the kid's education while he works for them, so if the kid wants the degree, it's kind of a win win.

In the old days, we all had windows desktops which could be modded and used to play games in addition to it's usual uses.

Now all the kids (and myself) only own Mac laptops, and don't want to buy a windows desktop just to game.

So the easy choice is to drop $200 no a game console to augment the Mac.

Facebook has released several different responses to this issue and is closely monitoring how people in each of the different experimental groups respond to these releases.

My dad just had to buy a new light bulb for his very high end home theater projector. He said the bulb was $1,500. I know you could buy a projector for that price, but his particular projector ranges in price from $10,000 to $30,000 depending on model...so it makes sense to buy the replacement bulb.

Would like to outfit my home with LED bulbs but the cost of swapping out all the bulbs in my home came in around $2,000.

Could go with CFL for about $300 but they are pretty toxic if they break, causing brain damage and what not, especially for kids, so not ok with that.

Anyone else replaced all their lighting with LED?

Just bought a new fridge. It came with LED lighting throughout the fridge. Guess this is the direction Fridge lighting is going. I assume Ovens can do the same?

This doesn't diminish the significance of it as a useful product.

Wouldn't you say that anyone who dies from drinking was drinking excessively. It's the extreme case definition of excessive.
