I want one of these, but then the NSA may be listening to me. Plus, I don't have electricity. It started when I thought that the NSA had bugged my computer, so I got rid of my computer. Later on, I knew those shifty guys would bug my h

Furthering on that, by placing the civil burden on those with less income reduces the amount of taxes areas have to deal with, so like any industry, they need to find other sources. Those sources then seem to target the ones in the worst po

Yep, End of year 2015. The sign for KC passed through STL last month and caused a commotion of people thinking it was the STL one. I've been driving up to Chicago to hit IKEA and Fry's and have really been waiting for this one to

Ugh.. one of his arguements for not selling this tech right now seems flawed. -- "Hydrogen is the most powerful fuel, but it's a gas. If I gave you hydrogen right now you wouldn't know what to do with it." -- For now, he

Kind of a strange point on cost cutting, but how does this fall into the arguement of "paying for talent" when hiring your executive level vs "race to the bottom" point of view for your employees? I've seen this vom

I can understand the worry about 3d printed weapons, but I don't see much of a difference between this an a zipgun besides that a common zipgun uses a metal tube for a barrel so it would show up on a metal detector. I am completely disinter

They had best get rid of the microwaves in the teachers' lounge. Cooking your soup on high too long can result in an explosion of steam sending flying fragments of meat and potatoes all over!

Someone lies and steals, is "rehabilitated", and right out of jail you catch them in a major lie again and still have a spec of trust in them? Wow. My first thought is that when this guy got out of jail, he'd have a nice job away from being

I'm going to believe that will happen soon. However, right now, it seems to me that Bitcoin is really just going "SHIFT". We have countries like Cyprus yanking money out of banks, so you get some people shifting their money out of country.

This is exactly where my mind was as well. Marshall Brain explored this concept very well. His Robotic Nation articles provide a good source of information on his thoughts as well. Then, you can take that right to his Concentration of Wealt

This has been an issue to me for the last 20 years that I have tried to figure out a solution to, but can't find a way to make it work in the US. Our social order is a complete mess where we congratulate the stupid and ignorant and hide the

Yeah, the games will have problems, but you don't need to sift through hundreds of lame cash-in microapps that make early-2000 era "punch the monkey" Flash adds look gameplay rich to deal with. I was assuming the meaning for that statement

Well, I guess that is his opinion. But, the poll question at the end is going to give misleading results. "Have you lost the desire to buy a game by watching a Let's Play Video?" Yes, I have. I can't remember which game it was, but what I d

But, you can have depots and these things called "Train Stations" to drop off goods and have a trucking company move the goods the last 10 miles. As for small loads, this is where combined shipping comes in handy. I believe many of the ship

So, what the article is trying to say is that we should be using trains more for long hauls to concentrated depots and trucks for short hops from the trains? That would alleviate highway traffic congestion, save a ton on the amount of fuel

You probably knew this, but that statement is a bad mistranslation: "Die reale Wirtschaft darf nicht zum Monopoly-Spiel werden." = "The real economy must not become a Monopoly game." (note the capital M in Monopoly). He isn't saying that bi

One of the addition things that needs to be mentioned akin to the bottom line is that the OtherOS feature was used to convince the EU that the system was a "Computer" not a "Gaming Console" which gave them significant cost reductions on imp

The flaw in his logic that I see is that somehow the $104,000 that was supposed to pay for going to college will somehow magically appear the first year that the kid will not go to college so that they can start a business. This is instead
