@nyvendor - you can convert sound into other forms of energy too. Light isn't some special case.

Nice econ plan Rob. Too bad that with Patriot act, no-warrant searches, illegal TSA virtual strip-searches at airports and armed drones over American streets - which you support - we live in a police state. Get some priorities - civil rights and the Constitution are #1 ,econ is a distant #2.

My senator Portman has no concern about civil rights and intrusive illegal TSA searches. If you wants a police state vote or Portman,

192F is their coffee-water mix temp NOT the temp in the cup. I was just given a Keurig Elite last evening. I instrumented the mix chamber with a thermocouple this morning and I have never seen a temp over 187F, which explains why it produces sour weak coffee. SCAA suggests a temp of 197-204F, s...

Most annoying commercial ever.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and ...

Useless babble. ERASES are limited not RMWs per se. NO - you do not have to RMW the entire block to modify one bit. You must erase by BLOCKs but can write even single '1' bits. The alignment boundaries are not BLOCKs but the on-drive page-management size. When you write a single fs page it ...

Maybe you should meet more than one libertarian before you create these rash ove rgeneranizations.

Maybe you should read about what libertarianism is before opposing it with false characterizations. Moronic propaganda.

@gamesmaster35 - you have a cartoon view of economics. If you aren't being paid everything you are worth - then change jobs. If you are only getting "scraps" it's b/c you have no useful skills. The idea you should get a handout from biz b/c you are too talentless to earn it is ignorant. Go s...

@KaiXi333 - C'mon DS9 wasn't even sci-fi - change the scenery and it's Mall cop, small town mayor, space palestinians, money-grubbers and double-agents. Voyager had a sci-fi major theme, but the writing was usually (not always) awful, some of acting was terrible. Sadly STE had a good major plo...

Who's the woman getting the haircut ? Very beautiful.

@gassymullins - I think there is a strong strain of idiot-warmongers in the US. It's not enough that we are strong enough to kill everyone - we must also tell lesser-peopls how to live.

Yes, Fieidman does refuting the point. There was some trade-off dollars vs safety, the kid finds this morally repugnant. Everyone should understand this happens constantly in product design, and in personal decisions. It's childish to pretend we don't all make this trade-off daily. Most pp...

@accardi4life "Liberals fight for everyone." - that's a knee-slapper. Apparently "everyone" doesn't agree.

@mecher3k - The cure for big biz corporatism is not to create small-biz corporatism. We should want to get rid of all the rent-seeking and crony-capitalism.

Right - it doesn't show RP is a genius. It shows all the other politicians are fiscal idiots. In the land of the blind the one eyed ....

At 1:30 it's asserted that "allegedly supernatural phenomena are always found to have natural origins". How could any phenomena be found to have super-natural origins ? It's not success of a testable hypothesis, it's just a tautology. I'm atheist, but reject that pat of the argument.

Great set of vids. Sincere thanks.

@MrSeekerofjustice - I've just seen vague statements about masses attracting. No quantitation. I'll bet you can't produce a reference.

Very distorted. Raising the INCOME tax rate won' touch Buffet or Gates. They make capgains & divs, like your retired granny. Some CEOs get stock options. The people harmed by top tax rate are people earning high salaries.

Who is the Young Turkey ? He introduces dozens of unevidenced conspiracy theories and straw-man fallacies - loads of bombast and demagoguery - and has no rebuttal. He must have taken lessons from Olbermann - unfair and unbalanced(mentally).

B.Helm had nice looks but was no dancer and moves awkwardly at other places in the film. The scene takes place at Yoshiwara, so the 1927-german,asian, exotic theme. The stylized belly-dance is disturbing. Also compare to flapper dances and garçonne style of the 1920s; jerky, awkward jiggle danc...

Police don't like being filmed (too bad for them). Calling the police department i NOT the correct wary to deal with this. Contact the ACLU and take them to court.

He says nothing about habeus corpus.

@socialcognition - And how about that trilateral commission putting flouride in your water and blowing up the twin towers ?(sarcasm). Paranoiac guff about capitalism is ridiculous. Companies invest and grow where resources are available and capital is treated well - which means not here. It's ...
