Interesting. I wonder what kind of energy is needed to keep 12000km long tunnel situated 4+km below sea level at partial vacuum... Without even getting into problems that will occur at tectonic plate boundaries...

There is no stock market bubble. nobody said there was a stock market bubble. but I suggest you to check few graphs on Google/Yahoo Finance. But the market will decide that. Not us nerds. I hope us nerds are a little bit more aware

it is not the first time Buffett used the "plutocracy" word: Dynastic wealth, the enemy of a meritocracy, is on the rise. Equality of opportunity has been on the decline. A progressive and meaningful estate tax is needed to curb the move

But the net effect of an event like QE/QE2 is to help debtors. Let's be serious here. Net effect of QE is 0.

Really? A wooden cover for the iPad 2.. yes. it's much more ingenious than iPad 2 if you think about it. In fact this thing made me consider for a second that maybe I should get an iPad.

Yup, it won't be Chernobyl. It will always be Fukushima Daiichi. How the nuclear accident will turn out to be is anyones guess right now though.

There's no average. It's just a target. uh, okay. then you might want to update your blog before there are 1000s of unemployed web developers building their lifestyle web apps for eternal target of 10k/month.
