So I ran some numbers...void is approximately 14 square kilometers (which is pretty big for us humans). Spread over the 362 million square kilometers of ocean, it works out to about the thickness of a human hair. Go figure.

Young to elder on deathbed..."So how long you been dyin'?"

Craggy brows lift, " All my life."

Made me laugh. Funny a second time! I loved the video - classic.... very very classic. Thanks.

I googled the life out of this and could not find them. I did find a company by that name in Panaji, Goa, India, but I do not see how they may be related. I'm puzzled.

I have been trying to understand the true scale of the 300 cubic kilometers in lost ice. According to USGS.gov total planet water is 1,386,000,000 cubic kilometers. That makes ice loss about 0.0000216% of the total water. Based on total water surface area of 361,132,000 square kilometers (eoearth.org), 300 cubic kilometers works out to 0.831 mm - about 0.5% of the global rise of 8 inches since 1880 (globalchange.gov).

No doubt that this is a very BIG topic.

I try to be, but there are exceptions.

Quite likely - -but was it software which made the evaluation of thousands of comments or some single person who said to himself, "seems threatening to me"? "Credible threat" is still being defined and seems to be a moving target as far as a concept and there seems to be several somewhat conflicting definitions in the law (centering on 'intent' and 'capability').

I'm stuck until some kind of competition occurs. Sad, unlikely unless FCC really looks at what the economic reality is for a huge part of the US.

Would it be a threat if this guy was into astrology - and was predicting a confluence of the planets?

I agree that the context may lead to thinking the post is a threat, but that still does not make it one. Nor is the forum (distant and anonymous) one which would be expected to give the words impact (as yelling 'FIRE' in a crowded theater would).

I do find most fascinating is that the 'threat' was identified - NSA must be watching. Maybe we are all missing something.

..what made Johnny tick. I'm glad my Dad bought me an Erector set instead (and it made all the difference).

While it is a nice thing to allow all the startups which may challenge Netflix, etc to have a level playing field, I am puzzled as to how this is going to help the consumer.

I read "no last-mile unbundling" as a continuation of the virtual monopolies which exist today. Without competition, I am stuck with my current ISP as it has a geographic monopoly for all broadband.

Where has it all gone wrong? How can it be made right? What will be left? "42".

One moderator declared this 'Offtopic" - and he was right. I should have explained more... OriginOil is a tiny California company which has developed an inexpensive process for removing chemical and organic material from Frack water. The water can then be used directly for the same purpose. Current technology requires trucking and this process is much more effective, efficient and economical. The video clips at OriginOil are worth watching. OriginOil's business plan is to license manufacturing - and this results in the most rapid spread for the technology. I wish them well.
