LEDs are way less efficient than CFL. LEDs only recently surpassed incandescent in efficiency! It's not a done deal that LEDs will ever be more efficient than CFL, though it could happen some day.
You make it sound like LEDs are already a better solution. They aren't.
The electoral college was put into place to keep too much power being placed on the layman.
What?!?
The only reason it uses delegations was because they didn't have things like communications back when. The electoral college gives each person's vote more power, because they are more likely to be the deciding vote on a smaller segment of the population, than the entire population at large (i.e. 50 votes could be "the one that mattered" instead of only 1 vote nationwide).
Now, if you were talking about our representative form of government, with congress and senate, that would make your point a lot better.
People are cheap when it comes to emergency supplies. I always have people calling me weird for stockpiling a few days of emergency food, first aid supplies, radiation meter, KI, etc.
The logic almost seems to be that if they don't think about it, the risk doesn't exist. It's socially acceptable to have car insurance and homeowners insurance, but you plan for any sort of other emergency and you get picked on.
You can get some of that military technology today, and it's not vaporware... Quikclot powder, comes in a packet designed to be large enough to quickly stop the bleeding from a severed femoral artery.
Useful stuff, stops bleeding very quickly. Expensive as hell though.
Here in the US we have this thing called the drug war. You may have heard of it. One of the central tenants pushed out by the government propaganda machine (called the ONDCP) is that all use is abuse. There's no such thing as "harmless use" of any drug, not in the brave new USA at least.
So the original chance of death is 100%, this reduces it by 18%, so that means that 18 our of every 100 people who drink 4 drinks a day will be immortal?
I see how it started now. In the end there can be only one.
Has the mass media and media companies really skewed the idea of property rights that you honestly don't understand that once you buy something, you own it?
Generally, if you are part of the class and they get your address, they'll send you an information packet that has instructions on how to opt-out of the class, so you can sue nintendo individually.
Some of these products are pretty strange anyway. I couldn't imagine anyone buying one of these. Basically most of the things solve problems that no one cares about.
Yeah, but they hide the links on their site. If you use Google with some magic terms you can find the links.
Hopefully once everything is GPL with Java we can just apt-get sunjre and it'll all work. Sun has tried their best to make Java impossible to install and run. I don't get what they are thinking.

Who is this Ms. Neveda and where are these "money shots"?
(Seriously I have no fucking clue what you are talking about). Google shows no hits for anyone named "Neveda" in the news.
It's not clear that was ever an intended function, and it's never been used that way.
The electors would be from the ax-murderers party. They would vote for the ax-murderer.
You do realize the electors are chosen by the party of the winning candidate, right? They aren't some random body of people.
You can get a $10 scientific calculator that lasts 10-15 YEARS on a single cheap lithium cell inside it. You act like stuff hasn't improved, it has.

So what? The whole point of freedom is the freedom to do stupid things (or thing that other people think are stupid).
If you can't tell the difference between a consenting adult and a kid, I think they better lock you up.

A nice one, full housing, food and medical care. You just have to pull some obvious jobs to get put away when you are ready to retire.

Whoever runs this bot, it's not even trolling. I'm not sure what your point is with it.
They make this device that projects a lump of solid metal (usually lead). It's quite effective at stopping a mugging. You should try it sometime.
(Police don't give a shit about catching some mugger. Do you really think they want a DNA sample?)

Replace the battery. It's just a lithium battery.

You can't do that.

Apple does not comment on security issues before they are fixed
Good ol' security through obscurity.
far more secure general purpose desktop operating system for most users than any viable alternative.
You are kidding, right? You limit "any viable alternative" to only Windows, and anything looks secure.
That post had more run-on sentences than the article, but was actually 100 times more entertaining. Thanks.
Who cares?
Any bird stupid enough to fly into a loud wind turbine wasn't fit anyway. Natural selection at work.
Resistive heating is 100% efficient, at least.
It's pretty easy to beat expectations when they are low enough.
Don't forgot the "we blocked you because you used the wrong ISP" people, SPEWS.
