  1. Re:How Detriot Got That Way -- and Why It Will.... on How Silicon Valley Got That Way -- and Why It Will Continue To Rule · · Score: 1

    I think you misspelled Hillsboro, Oregon. But, the point is still taken. :-)

  2. Re:The Death Ray Hotel on Correcting Killer Architecture · · Score: 1

    If omitting something that's largely cosmetic turns the building in to a death-ray, then the design of the building is fundamentally flawed.

    By definition, the sunshades can not be largely cosmetic if they have this impact. It's like blaming building heat loss in winter after removing the largely cosmetic facade.

    Now? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances.

  4. Re:Is this the Intel Math bug??? on Bill Gates' Taxes Require Special Computer · · Score: 2, Informative

    There is no state income tax in Washington... so no worries there.

    Oops. Make that here.

    Which is funny because you linked to the old Fab 6 facility (which isn't running anymore). Perhaps you really wanted to link to here.

    Note, I believe this is the site where they are building the new fab as well.

    Um, you do realize that the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo is taking place at the same time, in the same city.

    This, I fear, is not a coincidence.

    Actually, you are missing something. Drinking the water, by itself, is no big deal. You can do it on rare occasions with no lasting effects. If you drink ultra-pure water on a regular basis, however, your body will lose common minerals that is present in any other form of water.

    Simply put, every time you expel waste, some amount of beneficial minerals are expelled as well. If you drank nothing but ultra-pure water, one of the primary vectors for adding these minerals back in is removed and your body gets "cleaned out".
