Oh my, yes. Then we would truly have a silent spring, wouldn't we? Perhaps if we wrote a book of some sort, that would stir up people to save the mosquitoes. Probably we can say the laser causes egg shell thickness depletion, Nobody who

I've been on Grand Central for a couple of years, I think. It has a feature where I can blacklist phone numbers. You even have a choice to play a "number disconnected" message to those callers. I have some head hunters from florida (I'm

This "bugger your neighbor" attitude that prevails in this country is removing every freedom that we teach our children make this country great. Hell yes. Take more money at the point of a gun, why not? They have more money than you do, t

I love it. I hope it catches on. In the meantime, we need the universities to start playing hardball with the journals. They get rights to the paper for one year, max, and then the university will publish the paper on the web. That compe

This paper is an academic paper, which, in our current system, means that to read it, we have to pay for it. I would venture to say that all of our institutions of higher learning receive federal and state money. Each of them, as well, has

Very fun article, not on GPS units ability to be GPS units, but about their lack of interest in playing nice with 3rd party software / drivers, and the very clever workarounds that can be done to overcome their shortsightedness. Read this

It might or might not. We have women having children now at ages that would be considered absolutely ancient 10,000 years ago. As we extend our lifespan, we seem to stretch out everything ... childhood, child bearing years, productive yea

You're right that aging seems to have an evolutionary advantage. That advantage is increased diversity within a species. Super successful individuals, who would otherwise "take over" a species, are replaced, so that other strains can get

I actually had to check back to the site to make sure we were on the same website. On my quick scan of the site, when I read "dynamic digital signage solution" it never even occurred to me that it wasn't talking about PGP document and email

What's up with the cars? I read 15 of them, and nobody showed a price. I know that's not you, it's them. Must be a cultural thing.

Guys, my whole plan was getting you into your homes for three of your five day work week. You are utterly bombarded with "artifacts", "personal effects", etc. at home. This is a compromise between the insanity of commuting, from a business

Very well done! If you had a blog, I'd read it. I think that getting to the psychology of the problem as you are attempting (or succeeding) is a very worthy task that lots of people need to be working on. I'm no water vapor ignoring tree-h

I also was thinking, "This should be a kids site". I like the idea of a search engine for kids. You could concentrate on indexing only "kid safe" and "kid related" content. What a perfect name for that. As for the length of a name, and i

I think that's not so. For one thing, a lot of "city dirt" is contaminated with chemicals. The dirt that's supposed to be good for you, is good for you because of it's organic contaminants, not chemical ones. Furthermore, the specific org

I've been aware of this idea for many years, specifically with regards to asthma. My son is 10 months old, and for his whole life, we've been pretty careful to keep him as clean as possible. It's easy to believe something in theory, but h

Granted people buy deflationary items. Consumer electronics, stock options, and perhaps one or two other things. That fact is proving that deflationary spirals are not something to be concerned about? I'm only responding at all, because I

It's more to do with investment, I think. Sure, you'll always buy food and clothes and soap and gasoline. But will you buy a house that will be cheaper tomorrow? Will you buy a computer that will be cheaper tomorrow? Will you hire someb

It's a very interesting time we're going through. We begin to see that, even though we have long railed against the evils of inflation, there are worse things. You have to guarantee inflation>=0 for an economy to work. Gold bugs would

Yes, "a tax on savings and deposit accounts", also known as a wealth tax, as opposed to an income tax, would, indeed, encourage spending. It's also one of the most frightening ideas I've heard proposed, and you're not the first to propose i

I note that references to the actual studies were given in the article. I also note that your quest for "reproducible results" was definitely met in the England/Wales vs Chicago murder statistics the article reproduced. I am of the camp tha
