Hold my beer and watch this! Those would be your red neck ants.

Eventually they'll be going to ME and then they'll start all over again.

Impossible, it would never work. Oh, well, there's http://store.steampowered.com/, which does what you're thinking of... damn, there's money to be made in there somewhere...

I think you have to come from a highly dysfunctional family to really appreciate this... I did have a really dysfunctional childhood and loved the show, two friends from relatively normal families just didn't get it.

The problem with rainwater harvesting that most of the worlds potable water already comes from rainwater... in anything approaching a largish scale you're going to be in conflict with river basins and the like and grabbing rain destined for forests, farm animals and crops.. The advantage of desalination is that you let nature harvest the rainwater and concentrate it for you and then just process that.

You have to wonder how someone in an airliner going 200+ mph could even see something that small going ~0 mph, much less be able to describe it in such detail...

Actually the Amtrak 'Metroliner' hits 140mph from New York to Washington, DC, and their somewhat more fancy Acela line does a bit more than that (and stops less often). It's not great but for that short stretch it's fairly modern train.

This just in from the NRA: The only solution to wildfires caused by guns is MORE GUNS!!!

People in the US (maybe 'the West') consider shrimp a delicacy, and what is a shrimp but a marine cockroach? It's all in the marketing.

Happily you can use Google to sync up your various devices now... not sure if it scales beyond my iPhone and a couple of varied Windows and Mac computers but it does nicely for my purposes. I'm sure everybody knows this, just thought I'd throw it in. PS It uses Active Sync!!!!

I'm a Govtrip user as well (the "E-Gov Travel Center for Excellence" just emailed me to tell me everything is just fine, so it must be back) and my primary question is why do we have defense contractors running internet travel sites?
Govtrip took a long time to become ready for prime-time and to this day isn't a model of the programming arts.

Wonder how much it costs...

A greater concern is "Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (e-QIP)". If you need a security clearance you go to the e-QIP site and put in your life history, friends, bank info, credit history, medical history, everything.
It's a identity thief's dream, absolutely everything needed for somebody else to become you. In fact someone with this kind of information would have a better claim to being you than YOU would.

But don't worry, it's hacker proof.

Had to be said.
