Comment P/E??? (Score 1) 182

Does anyone understand what the P/E is anymore? Facebook will have earnings about 35 cents per share. That is a P/E of ~60. So an investor will need 60 years to get a return on investment assuming the share price and/or dividends pay out. And it is assured that FB will sell 2nd and 3rd rounds of stock so its P/E will stay high.

Comment Boondoggle! (Score 1) 556

This boondoggle is entirely due to the powerful farm lobby and that mostly benefits large industrial farm companies. We need to end the Agricultural Department as Ron Paul suggests.Why should farming be any different than other industries know that all farmers have internet tech, futures trading, and other modern things?

Comment 3D (Score 1) 457

3D for CAD/CAM would be nice. No one that I know of regularly broadcasts 3D so whats the point? Even if a sports event is 3d like last year US Open if you get it over cable tv you are SOL. I bought a 42' 3D 1080p Panasonic Viera Plasma because the price was just too good; cheaper than the 2D at the time (about 6 months ago).

Comment Studies on Learning (Score 1) 396

Recent studies have shown that students retain more subject matter and "connect more dots" using physical books versus an electronic copy. This fact relates to the lizard/monkey legacy brain sub-unit that gets jazzed with 3-D texture. Until there is immersive virtual reality stick to a physical book for the heavy lifting and mark it up.

First I've heard of SOPA. Just read the bill and it looks like it is very impractical to implement given the the complexity and automation of the internet. Only clueless administrators not in touch with reality could write this bill.

Comment Re:Rochester (Score 1) 352

A very good friend of my Dad's lived there (he rented a room from her in the late 1950's when working for Besly Cutting Tools). She lived to 98 years old. We visited a couple years before her death. At well known watering hole I could not believe how impolite the natives were. There was smugness that baffled me.
