Would you say I have a plethora of puzzles?

Shenzhen was like that when I went. It is really eerie because you know the streets extend for miles but you can't see anything past 100 yards or so. Like the fog in Superman 64 or Silent Hill.

This sounds like a much better idea than that Cone of Tragedy that my local amusement park introduced.

Sure there are libraries that offer up e-books but these libraries are restricted in their membership to within their geographical area. Perhaps similar geographic restrictions on lending may provide a compromise in allowing books to be relended without allowing too much open dissemination. For example, to lend a book in real life requires you to physically hand off the book so perhaps they could allow you to only lend books by direct Kindle to Kindle wireless transfer.

Travelling to other countries, particularly areas of China and India, can really drive home how low the pollution is in most parts of America. There are times that I can't see more than 100 yards down the street and this is due to the air pollution from the cars and factories.

That's if you are lucky though. The problem is that Wikipedia cannot force due diligence. How many articles have you seen that have been tagged for years pleading for someone to add citations or to clean up the article? Here's one I found yesterday: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_antenna . Good lengthy article on a very common topic with a lot of detailed information. But ZERO in-line citations.

Will his tortured mind give in to it's uncontrollable desires? Can he withstand the temptation to push the button, that even now, beckons him ever closer? Will he succumb to the maddening urge to eradicate history, at the mere push of a single button? The beautiful shiny button. The jolly candy-like button. Will he hold out, folks? Can he hold out?

Huh, I thought he was dead.

Rational thinking and behavior???

Good sir, this is the internet. We will have none of that thank you very much.

When it rains, it p.... OH GOD! It's melting through my skin!!!!!

Still, this promises to breathe new life into a gasping industry.

Americans? I would say that most Western nations like America, Canada, and Western Europe are doing pretty well when it comes to insulation compared to other countries. Hong Kong makes me cringe. Cement walls and large rows of single pane glass windows for residential and most shops have open storefronts with the air conditioning blasting. Given the high heat and humidity, air conditioning accounts for a large amount of energy expenses.

Damn, it's good to be a theoretician.
