It only cleans up the burning side if we have something to do with all that CO2 that this process produces.

This does nothing. But it completely stops break-ins and it's cheap.

Watch the videos you can find of it around. It's very scary. Does nothing, of course, but it's VERY scary. And that will keep your family's store safe.

The obvious answer is DataHand. Nothing else seems so well designed. But you can't get one anymore, and if you could they'd be more than you could afford. They always were, even when they were making them.

A search for a photo of the inside of this car shows a shifter.

People who love their iPhones usually bought them. There are two things going on there. Firstly, it's a self-selecting group. They bought into the idea of the ads they saw for the phone. Secondly, they spent money on it. When you make a purchase, you tend to self-justify. You think what you bought was the best, because otherwise you got suckered. No one likes that, so we tell ourselves we won. What we have is the best.

I was handed an iPhone by my company. It's really nice to have a free phone and I appreciate it hugely. Yes, it's a ball and chain to the company, but if they hadn't given me the phone, they'd be calling me on my personal phone anyhow.

But I hate the iPhone. Hate it. My antipathy for it was nonexistent when I got it. It was way better (in some ways) than the crappy blackberry it replaced. But over time, I've grown more and more frustrated with the potential of the thing which is squandered. Every little thing about it annoys me.

My wife has an android phone. I am so envious. There's still much to hate there, but not nearly as much, and there seems to be progress on Android. Something which annoys you might actually get fixed. On the iPhone, you must learn to love it, for it will never change.

The good DSLRs are good. I'd love one.

But they cost money.

Every camera I have is old and annoying and not great.

We're going to die.

Pick a lunch (or lunch places) which are a good hike from work. Walk there.

It should be a place (again, "places" is better) where you can get something healthy.

And cut soda-pop completely out of your diet.

Read the constitution. While it doesn't say "you can't tell them how to vote" it does say that the electors annouce their decision. So the implication is that you can't tell them how to vote. You can appoint them any way you like, though, so there's no constitutional demand to hold an election for president. The govenor of Ohio can simply appoint a bunch of Republicans as electors, if the Ohio constitution/legislature allows it. But the govenor of Ohio shouldn't be able to tell them how to vote. But he does. Which is probably unconstitutional.

NO.

Dems want to tax the poor and give to the rich.

Republicans want to tax the poor and give it to the rich.

Dems SAY the want to help the poor to get elected, then, once elected, their actual behavior is indistinguishable from Republicans.

No, we're all stuck over on the right. That's the problem.

So we need a new song.

Most Slashdot polls have an "OTHER" option. Here's it's missing. Congratulations! You just excluded third parties AGAIN! Thanks, guys.

Justice party (not on your list) and Rocky Anderson, is clearly the way to go.

You are right to keep your child away from computers and TV. Yes, you could get your child to be good at video games like your pal, but it turns out that's not really a skill you need to be a successful and happy person.

Buy more books and keep him away from computers for another 8 years or so.

"Hell its Coke VS Pepsi!"

This is so wrong it's offensive. You need to get your facts in order before you say such absurd things.

The manufacturers of Coke and Pepsi are in competition.

We're never goig to get anywhere with them through voting. I think we should apply anti-trust legislation to them. Did you know that they own the debates? Together (yes, they work together on it) they manage and own the "presidential debates" we see on TV. It used to be run by the league of women voters, but the two parties, who share power and whose only real enemy is a third party, leveraged it away from them. You cannot have another voice in the discussion. Hell, you cannot even have a discussion.

The reason you're wrong is this isn't Coke vs. Pepsi at all. It's Coke vs. Coke in a collectable can.

I suspect they do, but the real dirty secrets in Japan and Korea (and perhaps China) are that

1. a. It's not what you learn in college, it's what college you go to. There's much less incentive to do well once you get into the best college you can. So for many kids education really stops at the end of high school.
   b. This means that they cram what's done in the States in ten years (from first grade to about sophmore in college) into roughly eight. They do this by cramming after school, on weekends, etc.
   c. Children in Korea and Japan are horribly overstressed and generally very unhappy.
   d. Some of the cliches you hear about creative work, thinking as opposed to cramming, etc. are true.

Confucianism has oriented these societies towards test taking and fact memorization as a culture for 1500 years. Societally, they're good at it. But it takes toll on their kids, and it delivers high quality goods on a multiple-choice test, but not fantasically well when you're trying to create something. (Note that many Koreans and Japanese then go on to do well in colloge, learn lots there, learn to write, learn to create, etc. But they do this is spite of the system, not because of it.)

Another dirty secret is that acheivement comparisons between Eastern (or some Eastern anyhow) systems and the US education system compare apples to oranges. US advanced ed. is not about making kids that test well, it's about making thinkers and writers. It's still doing a great job of that, if you ignore all the people going to college now who wouldn't have 50 years ago. Those peope now go to college to learn a trade and get rooked. That's not what US higher Ed. is about.

US public primary ed. (and virtually all Western primary Ed) is aimed at making workers and always has been. It's doing a great job of that, assuming all our jobs include the ability to say "want fries with that?" Truely it is. When something keeps "failing" so consistently, you need to take a step back and realize it's not failing in the eyes of everyone, or there'd be general concensus to fix the problem. Western public primary ed. is succeeding, as far as many people are concerned. They don't use it directly, and they like the current outcome, though they'd like the same outcome cheaper, thank you very much.

They can hire the top 5% from US colleges as the real thinkers and the top 30% of Asian schools (more H1B's, please) to be the semi-clever layer, but they'll always need people to offer to supersize their meal, and the more of those people competing with each other there are in the pool, the cheaper such workers will be.

It all works just fine, thank you.
