Wheels.We've got racks in tight corners, and the solution was to put the rack on wheels, and a lot of slack on everything going to the rack.

Keep in mind that the diagonal of a square is longer than the side. Leave room to rotate without mashing hands.

Sanctions? I thought that was political speak for "shame on you". They don't do anything real.

Can anyone name an international issue or conflict that was resolved by sanctions?

Ditto here. Failed the "spouse test". Ugly color, and the brightness swings wildly depending on temperature. I have one in the garage, and every time I go out there I am reminded that I will never buy another CFL bulb. I remain skeptical on LED bulbs.

Put another way, if they were selling a bulb for $60 that gave *free* light for 1 to 18 years, would you buy it? I don't think I would... light bulbs use so little power, and there are other areas with a much greater bang for the buck.

I've always thought that intelligence was the result of an optimized system. Sure, any of a thousand genes can decrease intelligence- they decrease optimization. If all of the thousands of genes are set right, you get a system working properly, and hopefully high intelligence.

To look for a single gene that controls intelligence is like looking for the single part that solves performance issues in all computers everywhere.

Put another way, what's the one gene that controlls health? Hey look, a gene that causes cancer if it's mutated. Behold- the health gene!

I thought this was obvious. Gasoline & battery aren't the only ways to make a car go.

Take this factory option Natural Gas Civic for example:

With a little work, there's also Hydrogen, compressed air (for really short ranges), and there's always the totally renewable option of burning wood in steam powered cars. Not ver convienient, but it *is* an option.

Mod above troll.

>in the case of George W. Bush (jr), his ultra-low IQ means that he really was genuinely ignorant

Both Snopes & Wikipedia document your fallacy. Bush was around 133. Incidentally, this means his IQ is almost certainly above yours.

Climante Change? Sure, climate is changing. It always has, and always will.

We've had ice ages, we've had warm cycles. The plan is not static.

I see far too many people under the guise of "environmentalist" thinking that the planet's climent at this point in time is the right, correct, and only proper state of the planet.

The switch from a single headed system to a 2 monitor setup was the single best improvment I've ever done.

At work I now have a 4 monitor setup. E-Mail is always open on 1, various Notepad notes and IM converstations on another, and the other 2 for whatever I'm doing.

-Document how a rainbow looks, compaired to a photo at the same time frame. Maybe skeetch/paint something for the rest of us to understand!
-My first thought was to find UV ink, for secret notes. Not sure if such a thing exists....
-Do any TV remotes work on UV instead of IR?
-Some plain old UV LED's wold make for a good night-light that burglers can't see. As others have noted, keep the intensity low!

As long as the solution to the fast "refuel" problem is "just drive your 2nd car", EV's will remain a luxury purchase for the wealthy with guilty eco consciences.

I want a single car to replace my single car. I don't want to have to pay insurance, plates, repairs, maintenance on an extra vehicle. That's saving no money, and not "saving the planet" if that's your thing.

I want an EV because it's: (1) Cool new tech with cool new features, and (2) A lot cheaper per mile*.

* - Unless you factor in battery pack replacement every x years, plus the inevitable per-mile taxes to replace gas tax.
