dillion... bazillion gazillion...

Now my brain hurts, thanks. ;)

Are we getting close to a google or even a googleplex of minutes for Winblows to boot?

@Stephen Grey

You stole my line!!! LOL

The "Hydrogen Economy" is a "leg pull"

Let's see: you take hydrocarbons and spray steam into it. Gives H2 and CO. Then you render the CO into CO2. Oh, wait - we're getting hydrogen for sure, but we're getting the stuff we don't want. Next tactic.

You use electrolysis to split H2O into 2H2 and O2. How? We could burn fossil fuels... no, that's no good. How about solar/wind power? Well, maybe - if we're willing to live with solar panels and wind turbines EVERYwhere, because guess what? It takes more energy to extract the hydrogen than the hydrogen returns.

Dump this stupid idea (the hydrogen economy one) and let's just use the solar and wind to generate our electricity directly. THEN let's learn to conserve our energy, and stop living like there's no tomorrow.

I quit...

...using Linksys when Cisco bought them, because I just don't like Cisco. (No real reason; I just don't.) I've since moved to Netgear, and have been much happier with them.

Too bad for Cisco, as ditching Linksys simply means they're ditching customers.

Slipping...

What, a boss who is smart enough to catch the BOFH in the act?? Say it ain't so, Gracie!

Hey, Mike?

Thanks for showing these good people just how intelligent and mature we 'Muricans are. Sheesh.

Everyone else: I apologize for my rude countryman's boorish behaviour.

re: Disturbing Language!

Poor American wanker - if'n you're gonna read Teh Reg, you're gonna hafta learn the <s>King's</s> Queen's English. *snicker*

Oh, yes - I'm an American fag (lesbian) who is also an Anglophile.

Add this to the pile...

...of things we'll have to fix after we get rid of the Rabidly Religious Right from the government here in the US of A.

About Dr Art Robinson of OISM...

You might want to visit http://www.desmogblog.com/node/1067 to see him and his POV debunked.

Hold On A Minute...

First of all, how many pre-teens are going to understand what a vagina is? Anyone remember the old Bugs Bunny and Road Runner cartoons with all the inuendo? When we were young, all that stuff just flew right over our heads. It wasn't until we grew up that we got it and giggled wildly over it.

Secondly, don't judge all of us here in the USA by the actions of one idiot. This principal does not represent even all principals here, let alone all citizens. (Same goes for the president-select, btw.) Some of us - hopefully many of us - have more sense and recognize that this incident is stupidity unrestrained.

Then again, this is the country that got bent out of shape over seeing Janet Jackson's nipple during a "costume malfunction" and said nary a word about the stage violence that precipitated the incident. *sigh*
