Blu-ray Laser Gadget
i4u writes, "Wicked Lasers has done the unthinkable. They took the sparse blue laser diodes used in Blu-ray Disc drives and are making cool laser gadgets out of them, called Sonar. You can own one of these very limited edition lasers for $1,999.99. The price is that high because Wicked Lasers buys Blu-ray Disc players and removes the Blu-ray diode for the Sonar laser."
Hooray for blatant advertising?
Seriously, I usually don't complain about this sort of thing (even when Zonk does it), but why the hell did this make it to the front page? It's an ad, nothing more.
Why buy a PS3 when you can buy a Wii and Xbox 360 for the same price? Sony needs to stop forcing people with their proprietary lazer pointing systems!

Never said I was in favor of tax cuts. I'm in favor of taxing each in accordance to his means for the support of the government. The middle-class socialists would be a lot less eager to promote their programs if they actually had to front the money.
"Because Science" is one step from "Because old book". Try "Because of my experiment testing my falsifiable assertion".
We COULD make them pay for it. According to the 2000 census, people aged 50-59 (roughly the ages of the boomers, who according to wikipedia were born between 1946 and 1957) make up approximately 13% of the population. With 75% of the population over 18... we could elect a congress who would tax the hell out of the boomers. If we wanted to.
My point was that by the time someone realizes the debt needs to be paid the baby boomers will mostly be either dead or living off of Federal retirement programs such as Social Security and therefore not really taxable.
Please, for the good of Humanity, vote Obama.
