Absolutely. It was labeled "junk" because some egotistical scientist could not figure out what it does. If it befuddles him or her, who is no doubt really Smart, then it must be junk.

No, but a paintball gun might be apprpriopriate. Or a supersoaker.

Ah, a member of the Social Justice Stasi

I suggest that they are "anti-fucking" fascists

We've wasted tons o' dollars on Solyndras, bailing out automakers, paying welfare to illegal immigrants, making the military safe for the few percent of the population that are not heteronormal. We've wated NASAs time on outreach to mohammadeans to make them feel like they've contributed much of anything over the last 800 years. So, if you wonder why our space program sucks--figure it out

Certainly not allow computers in Elementary school.

And just why do think the Federal reserve retired anything abouve $100 on July 14, 1969?

That is if you want to get into academia, It's slave labor for a few more years, but it's better paid slave labor. PhD implies research skills. What companies are doing research in the area of your dissertation? You can't be limited by geography.

Hear! Hear!

oh yeah add Solyndra to that, and all of the other fail alt energy companies. Did you know that the great "public works" projects of the 30s were built by private companies? Did you know that the Great Northern Railway was privately built with no government aid? Private Companies are bad, Bad, BAD, right?

So, does his TV connect to the internet via a cable modem? Perhaps it's time for someone to market a hardware firewall that you can place between your cable modem and your router to monitor and filter all of your inbound and outbound traffic. I suppose that some routers let you do this. I have an Airport Extreme and it does not give you access to any logs (suggestions as hoe to do this would be welcome).

Well, of course! We really wouldn't want to be prepared, would we? We have all of these really "smart" people out on the golf course.

In addition to questioning "Climate Change", one could also look at the "Science" of may other fields as suggested. Especially crucial for examination are the many psychological and sociological studes that are used to "guide" public policy. I venture that many are complete loads of crap designed specifically to influence public policy.
