I've used a stopwatch to time the ACTUAL content of a 30 minute TV show on several networks. Discounting the "Intro" time and "exit credits" time, there is on average about 11 minutes of program content in a 30 minute show. WTF? I never watch TV in real time anymore. My Hopper DVR only hops past the 4 primtime channel commercials, so I use the jump ahead 30 seconds button on my remote for other programs. I'm all for cutting the number of commercials in favor of producy placement, provided it fits into the program seamlessly. ( place that can of pepsi label out etc.) When I was a kid, there were only two 2.2 minute commercial breaks in a 30 minute show, and only one 2.2 minute commercial in a 15 minute show. Barely time to take a wizzz. Now you can go to the kitchen, cook supper, set the table, pour drinks, AND go take a wizz, and the damn commercials are still running when you get back.....
why not use the excess heat to run a small turbine to charge the batteries at night or when tere's no sun. I mean if you're gonna have a boiler you only use a small % of the energy for heating the rest is wasted.
I've read several posts about how badly service was when dealing with cable companies etc. That's all a walk in the park. Try dealing with Hughesnet Satellite Internet.... I'd take the worst provider over Hughesnet ANY day. I won't go into the horror stories of trying to deal with them. There are hundreds of blog sites that do that quite nicely. So quit whining and be glad you don't have Hughesnet as your ONLY internet provider. LOL

Who gives a shit... I'll be dead by then.
Perhaps this explains why so many poor & middle class folks still vote for Republicans.
This man claims to believe in the god myth... How much more anti- science can you get?
Yep... We're screwed... LOL
The science MUST be flawed. Every bible thumper knows the earth is only 6000 years old! LOL
Open the pod bay doors Hal... Cuz Dave IS here!
And they all believe in the god myth too!
