I have always thought that if you buy stocks that pay dividends you should have to keep them for a minimum of a year, and if you buy stocks that don't pay you should have to keep them for a minimum of 24 hours before being able to sell them. If you short stocks the sale should take 24 hours to take affect.

I mean really, what could happen in 24 hours that would honestly affect the value of a publicly traded company? Even the oil spill has taken weeks and months to lower BP's value, and really in the long run it is probably time to buy BP stock.

who cares about efficiency?

If you make a solar cell that is 100% efficient but costs $10billion / watt to make, who cares?

On the other hand if you make one that is only 1% efficient but only cost .01c / watt to make, that would change the world.

Each ton of Iron dumped into the ocean pulls about 1000 tons of carbon out of the air.

Of that a tiny percentage reaches the floor, 20-50% stays in the middle ocean for a few decades, and the rest stays on the top and dies re-releasing the CO2 back into the air.

Each ton of iron smelted from ore creates 2.5 tons of CO2 (not counting transportation), about equal to that tiny percentage that actually gets sequestered, so if you have to move the iron at all (which you do if you want it out of the ground) then your net result in a few decades is adding CO2 to the air.

Not that I am actually all that worried about C02.. I think Methane is a bigger problem and easier target.

You've never looked at the history of Africa have you? Africa has more natural wealth (Gold, Diamonds, Zinc, Copper, etc etc) in the ground than the rest of the world combined, and look how well that is working for them.

Caffeine is a known performance enhancer.

Of course that is for non addicts.

I have one of the old Samsung drives from 2007, a 80GB with 256MB of flash.

Don't you mean Gateway and their formerly famous cow boxes?

Autozone will read and clear trouble codes for free. So if you just have a one time need, do that.

It was your duty as a citizen to judge the law, and IGNORE the instructions from the judge if the law was at fault.

The Judge can tell you different all he wants, but he is LYING if he tells you that you MUST follow his instructions.. If that were the case, why would we have jurors at all? Might as well just give Judge Dredd a big gun and be the executioner as well.

with a 5GB cap and 60c/mb after that makes it a so what.

(Like having a fast car with a half gallon tank.. you can beat anyone in a race for half a block, after that a geo metro is faster)

So all the plants will look over at each other and shout: "Whoops, that's 600GT's, stop growing!"

The planet is greener now than it used to be because of Man's activities. (not in a "green agenda sense" but in a color of the landmasses when viewed from above because of the amount of plant matter)

Sure, weather is not climate..

But we have had more than 10 years of cooling. How many more years does it take to be climate?

(we only had 30 years of rapid warming, so another 20 would do it I guess)

So will the new ngage phone still be taco shaped?

We choose to not go to the moon. We choose to not go to the moon in this decade nor to do the other things, because this is easy, but because this is not hard, because this goal will serve to disorganize and mess up the best of our energies and skills, because this challenge is one that we are not willing to accept, one we are willing to postpone, and one which we intend to lose, and the others, too.

For every dollar spent in NASA we get back seven in the economy from the advanced technologies based on things NASA had to invent.

How about those who live in a desert where the ambient temperature is HIGHER than body temp?
