Looks like I may have been right: suspicious guy

Yeah, those are nasty... what a horrible way to die. I think the idea of being downloaded with a virus that doesn't eat your brain, just makes you become the minister of silly walks and buy lots of stuff on behalf of someone you don't know is funnier :lol: Yet can have it both ways-- I'm pretty sur...

I actually was in a low speed accident this summer that I believe was at least partially to blame on a brake problem (I posted about it here ) My opinion is that there is a software issue, and the electronics are taking away direct control to the point of being dangerous. I guess it is best for you...

I have a Prius (2006). My understanding is that the recent runaway prius was stopped by turning off the car. Also, I understand putting it into neutral is a fail-safe way to stop any car (the driver of the recent runaway Prius claims he was afraid it would flip if it did that-- I think there's a 50%...

Maui, If the doctor is going to kill you best not to take the medicine.Esp if you know in advance the medicine, the dose, and the outcome. Hmmm, but you dodged my question-- isn't this medicine that Hayek would have been okay with as well? And we've gotten too tied up in the anology-- I've been usi...

Maybe not going to the doctor was the answer. Take a break. Close your eyes. Let the headache heal itself. Yes, but that's not the point I'm disputing. If you accept that the initial visit to Keynes is in the past and accept that the patient has realized his mistake and intends to switch to Hayek, ...

Maui's argument: Bad management theory and practice are ruining the company. But to change management while the company is failing is a dumb idea. A patient comes in with a headache. His choices are Dr. Hayek who won't so much as put a band-aid on someone spewing blood out of their carotid artery (...

Look, its not that I'm all pro-Keynes anti-Hayek (I guess I would argue for somewhere in the middle). For a common recession I ...

That's a bit paranoid. Obama and his coterie just want to make the US into Western Europe. Damaging the U.S. economy is just an unintended consequence they don't believe in (I know, we keep telling them, but they don't believe us). The more subtle and insidious issue with Obamanomics is something t...

Much better them, than Bush, Cheney. and Rove. I don't really recall Bush Cheney and Rove trying to do much to my life except let me keep a little bit more of my money. It's not like spending went down in their tenure, esp when you consider the pointless war. That's the true test of how much $ you ...

Nobody's claiming the Earth is going to burn. Nobody's claiming that life won't thrive. Okay maybe that's the impression "alarmists" leave (and that is unfortunate), but I think it is also the fault of skeptics building strawmen by intentionally exaggerating the words of "alarmists". Life certainly ...

The CO 2 is vented from the reformer. This was my first question after watching the segment-- where does the carbon go? To many of us "no emissions" means no CO 2 . Still, half the CO 2 would be a step forward, I suppose. I'd be curious how the economics of thin-cell solar compare here. The claims ...

I thought Obama promised no more bank bailouts? Personally, I think Dr. Neber should focus on fusion instead of derivative markets, but who am I to say?

1. Insurance be made portable - company to company and across state lines. Agreed. Not sure what you meant to be included in "portable", but I also think that if any employer contributes to a company a health plan that they should be required to offer the amount they contribute as a voucher that em...
