I would completely eliminate whole departments of the government. Agriculture, Energy, Education for example. Completely worthless since they were created and totally deserving of elimination. I do hope you're completely joking in this remark and not serious. Agriculture: includes FDA, so if you're...

A tax subsidy is not an expenditure, but a selective tax reduction, as distinct from some general or uniform reduction. Hence to eliminate a tax subsidy is to raise taxes. But eliminating a tax “subsidy” sounds like reducing wasteful government spending rather than raising taxes, so it has more popu...

$400 million in pre-orders, pre-paid, would require even greater collective idiocy.
Televangelism is alive and well still....so not so far fetched.

As far as we know, said plant doesn't exist yet. It's all speculation so far...and maybe someone's apartment.

I don't feel as though anyone other than Levi and Focardi have put their reps on the line. As for motivation for scam, money, always.

I could, with some effort, prepare a non-exhaustive list although I guess I would like to know the objective behind your request first. Around here, such a request might be deemed tantamount to being asked to "please hold your arm" out by one holding a very sharp sword. So excuse me for asking the ...

Sounds to me like there will be some clause that allows them to pull out of the contract
Or not enter the contract as it stipulates the contract is not in effect until the first payment is made.

I didn't say it would be leaked, just not available online per se. There are methods for requesting pending patents, although by a more snail mail approach.

His implied posting was ~ 6 months ago. Although the patent process can be long, I would think some amount of information would be available much like the device's patent that got posted rather quickly.

No advantage to doing it early? Are you kidding me? If he patents the secret sauce, he gets protection starting at the time of application. The longer he doesn't patent it, he risks other groups figuring out its true composition or stealing said secret sauce formula. Once another organization does ...

Based on the information we do have in hand. That being the videos of the demonstrations, the history of Rossi, and the unscientific handling of this situation, one would tend to believe it is a fraud or lean heavely towards fraud. Science, the search for truth by evidence, does not sit and speculat...

Parallel, I don't need to insult you, you have enough trouble trying to defend Rossi as is. As for speaking for others, I don't, but I usually make my decisions based on what information is available versus not available. If we spent all our time speculating what could be, we'll never know what will...

You left out your usual gratuitous insult about my intelligence. Are you weakening? I don't need to insult you to provide counter-arguments. We don't know if he has a patent for the secret sauce, but he'd be a fool not to have started the process. If his fears are the U.S. patent process, then he's...
