What are you smoking? You can't make a claim like that and expect it to be believed without sources. Most (all?) power plants have crews monitoring voltage and frequency output and responding by bringing generators on or offline depending on the needs of the grid.

They patented it, doesn't mean they plan on implementing it.

On the contrary they might be getting sex, just not from where they promised to.

Capability degrades as time passes.

Reread. When your options are "let them possibly run the plane into a building" or "sustain a few casualties retaking the plane," you risk the casualties because otherwise there's a good chance you'll ALL die. When hijackers would just demand money or political changes after they redirected the plane to a different landing strip, people were complacent about letting them take the plane; not the case anymore. Hijacking a plane is almost suicide these days.

The hangover is dehydration, the drunk not so much. Drunk is an imbalance of neurotransmitters and hormones.

Next big thing, peddling 9V batteries to undergrads the week before midterms/finals.

"Give me the more Gs! I need more Gs."

Reminds me of the distinction between HiSpeed USB 2.0 and USB 2.0 Compatible.

Actually, I used T9 almost exclusively until I got a smartphone. Once you get a hang of which common words show up in which order when you click "next word" you can pretty much touch type except for unique words.

I think when compared to the size of the keyboard when in vertical screen mode, it might be quick. May not be competitive with the horizontal layout for a while, but won't be hard to beat vertical.

Programmer of Minecraft, relatively popular but cheap game.

I agree 100%, and thank you for giving me a great way to explain it.

So someone that comes up with a damn good idea that improves lives worldwide shouldn't be allowed to be comfortable in life for his/her work? You will never join that group because you hate them. Not all wealth is accumulated through greed, corruption, and filth; frugality and genuine good ideas can accomplish the same. Personally speaking, I will take great pleasure in joining the millionaire club at some point down the road: you can hate me all you want, I won't care.

Voting 3rd (or even minority second) party is a long-term goal. If you want the third party, vote it regardless of their chance to win. As percentages go up so does confidence in that party. Sure, you're not going to make a dent in the current election, but if you're not voting at all otherwise you've got nothing to lose but the 15 minutes it takes to vote. Voting for your closest match is a positive feedback loop, not voting is a negative feedback loop. Your choice.
