Yes. McCain was one of the Keating Five. The other 4 were Democrats. And they threw him in so it wouldn't look so one sided. l I am concerned not whether they were red or blue pigs at the greed trough of ill-gotten gains. They were the ones that engineered the opening of the sluice of money to be p...

Yes. McCain was one of the Keating Five. The other 4 were Democrats. And they threw him in so it wouldn't look so one sided. But you know there are an awful lot of Goldman Sachs folks at the top of the Obama administration. Odd that. They let Lehman (a competitor) die and got their company bailed o...

MSimon's posts have knocked it out of the park, but for what it's worth, Walter Williams (Professor of Economics at George Mason University and Prominent columnist) agrees with me about that right to travel buisness. True rights, such as those in our Constitution, or those considered to be natural ...

The problem with this theory requires the insertion of a Jerk. Accidents NOT caused by jerks leave you in the same situation as a Jerk that can't pay you anyway. The flaw in this thinking is the same flaw in the Minimum wage thinking. "People should make at LEAST X much money." Meaning, unless you ...

Re: Who Wants to Have Josh Banned?
I have to say I'd be in djolds1 camp on this one. Posting a poll like this is a banner ad saying 'let's get rid of ....'. It's odd that you don't see it that way. Interesting. I think it odd that you do. Perhaps if I had listed a liteny of reasons TO get rid of him, I would agree. But I listed none...

What Should Be Done About KitemanSA?
Not a serious poll. Just illustrating the point that polls are kinda dumb, and anti-social.

Re: Who Wants to Have Josh Banned?
"Infantile incivility" that I illustrate...? How can asking a simple question illustrate incivility? "Hey, I've disagreed about politics (on a science/technology board) with this guy for a long time. Let's vote on kicking him out so I don't have to tolerate his disagreement on the politics any more...

The earth is homeostatic. You have absolutely no basis to make this claim. While historically temperatures have ranged within a band, those periods didn't have humans generating massive quantities of exotic chemicals and dumping them into the air. I bet the Martians were saying the same thing about...

The fly in the algae-for-biofuel ointment is nitrogen. Althought the stuff grows 10,000 times faster than, say, corn, it basically needs to be fed nitrogen fertilizer just the same. Where does that come from? Petroleum at the moment, generated by the fuel refining process. Not exactly a long term-vi...

Also this has surfaced; http://64.27.92.38/files/announce_cleantech/20090529_DOD.RDTE.NTEET.pdf Helps explain how DOD worked Recovery Projects, including Polywell. We have talked on this before, lots of scrutiny on where the dollars go. I think it is instructive that they're spending 4x the polywel...

Alan has said he would try to find out what was going on. The fact all he can say is this is interesting. In the past, EMC2 Fusion's Richard Nebel has been able to describe the team's progress in general terms, saying that he was "very pleased" with the performance of an earlier test device. But no...
