The very nature of government-funded research compells research to be done at a snail's pace. Once the project is complete--the money is gone. This is another attempt at changing thinking. The government invents nothing, private industry (so long as its around) invents everything.

Are you fucking kidding? War has resolved more differences in opinion to date than diplomacy will in forever. I'm sure you believe that the Holocost could have been averted through this means, but, it was tried, and it failed. TBH the only reason we have to resort to "smart" weapons is because...

Its merely a car-sized water rocket.

This is a perfect example of taking advantage of the ecotards. I researched a few different companies' products last year for my town to replace sodium street lamps with LED. For about $3k, a city could replace one streetlight, and pay for itself in about five years with the power savings. The...

Alas, the carpet doesn't match the drapes.

You mean like Democrats? wow. That's like telling the guy that's building your house that it doesn't matter how many nails he bends building it so long as it gets done. Or handing out a 'participation award'. Or accepting said award.

'Apple fans will tell you that Apple PCs are not only slicker-looking but that they're also built better, last longer, and run a better operating system. In other words, you're not just paying the Apple premium for looks, but also for brains and brawn.' In real world terms this translates to...

Let's completely dismiss the notion that it may be a genuine premonition intended to allow foresight into a life-changing event, however trivial that may be. We cannot allow the ideation of a higher being being the instigator of this phenomenon.

Watch the video... there was a female using an unshrouded blackberry in the OR, supposedly a sterile environment. No way to sterilize that device with its many nooks and crannies without an autoclave, which would destroy the device.

#1 rule in politics, keep your lobbyists happy. BO has that one down to an art. Between the RIAA and JDs he's just doubled his revenue.

+1 :)

I meant Blackberry

Malpractice indeed. Tell me how they autoclaved their iphone so that it was sterile and managed to keep it working.

Greedy companies stealing our bandwidths! We early adopters are getting screwed every time!!! How dare we pave the way for those less fortunate!

The business of America is business. I realize that there are people like you in the world that can get by with a library computer, park showers, and soup kitchens. But face the facts, you guys are diamonds in the rough, some of us actually want things of our own, and want to be able to donate...

Oh you mean that the French siphoning BILLIONS off of the 'Oil for Food' UN program? You forget that the US wasn't involved in that war. We actually SPENT money in that endeavor. Damn this no edit 'feature'

Next thing you know, the head of the DEA will have some drug-related offense in their background. Oh wait, that happened today too.

Indeed

Four questions: Tell me how long-term profit is possible if you aren't going after short-term profit? What CEO tells their R&D department to close up because he is worried about it cutting in to his 'bonus check'? Where would we be without the motivation of monetary gain? (I am...

OTOH, he is able to 'Beg enough for the bare necessities - food, cigarettes, drink'. Why give him any attention when he is obviously capable of getting what he needs in life?

The military will take anyone that hasn't made repeated, calculated 'mistakes' in life. This guy is a leech, and should be treated as such. To think that he is able bodied and his only motivation is to take his beggars can to the www is apalling. Every liberal should be screaming. He is taking...

I clicked on this thinking it was about beer =(

I vote toys!

At 37 years of age, this guy can join the military, problem solved. Unless he 'wants' to be a 'bum', in which case he's just another in an endless list of people who claim to have been a victim in life.

I remember watching those ATT commercials and even thought then that all of the ideas were safe bets on using existing tech with some refinement. Now, MS's video is taking the same safe road, the 2 kids I envision not being on opposite sides of a window but opposite ends of the planet using...

They can call themselves Warrantys aren't Us

Change is coming indeed, apparently socialism has been the answer to all our problems all along.

No way in hell did BMW have a real hand in the design. BMW does bland, boring, and also-ran in a way that just isn't expressed here. Were it true, it would have been called 'das Case'.

I watched Terminator 2, in the Saudi Arabian desert before it was in theaters in the US. Thankfully I didn't have to wait the other six months before I got home, as my friends wrote me letters telling me al about it. I'm as conservative as the next one, but when it comes to Hoollywoude, I'm...

I'll play Captain Obvious here for the few that didn't 'get it'. Our current President seems to feel that private industry has only killed our economy, and thus we need to implement a governmental solution to fix it. Yet in the face of this, the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) is relying on data...

Wait a minute! The FTC is the Government, and we all know that the Government is the solution to all our problems. Why the hell are they wasting time dealing with these greedy businesses?

Thank God that nobody makes fake IDs

They are going to make a worm-free version of My Space, calling it My Space Too.

The outgoing is from my hometown. I don't know if this one is any better or worse, but I assume the latter.

We can safely assume that whatever comes out of the White House, they mean just the opposite.

Time for the Hollywood acting teams to take a pay cut IMO.

My positive take on this is the layout, what looks to be a tray design, and grommets on the tray as opposed to the slots as present on my p180. What bothers me is what looks to be air intake slots on the floor of the case directly in front of the PS. That plus sitting on a floor equals a choked...

'On March 2, AMD closes its deal with Advanced Technology Investment Co., formed by the Abu Dhabi government, to spin off the chipmaker's manufacturing operations into a joint company, temporarily called the Foundry Co. The deal is expected to move $1.1 billion in debt, most of it associated...
