    Why is that no other web site copies FaceBook's look, methods, and processing?

    The one thing that stands out is that software is a Copywrite issue. A machine that already has the mechanics built into it is patenable by its inventor. It makes no sense that a 3rd party can step in and claim a new squence of switching is pattenable. Why? Because the squence ALREADY EXISTED, and N-Factorial other squences exist also.

    I've heard that Silcon Valley companies are starting a grass roots campaign against the San Francisco 49er's. Why should people make fun of really really old people?

    Poor A/C, it sounds like you've been talking to Sara Palin. And by your lack of understanding, you're to young to have seen the dying, and crippled of these diseases. Talk to some blue hairs, and hear stories that only 4th world countries experience.

    It is nice to see businesses in america not out sourcing, as much, to those that have nothing vested in the community that the product is made for.

    Maybe you could site a reference, other than your body's exit point for your food. When one is immunized, one can handle the real thing quickly. That means the sickness cannot take hold, or not for long. There is a group of dumb ass American parents that believe that immunizing their children is a bad thing. These parents will face outcomes like child mortality, and child cripplings for the unlucky. The immunized children will not understand that their close friend is forever negatively altered because their friend's parents are so short sighted that because they don't see it, therefore it doesn't exist.

    This idea is applicable to other things. Short Sigtedness paralleled with business shows rapid depletion of its resources in exchange for an increase in profit; like a child that has more free time because it doesn't have to wait in line for a vaccine shot. Then when the resources run out, the business colapses; the outcome is the abandonment of its employees, and its customers; now the community is damaged, also the death of the business. The survivers must now spend time, money, and resources that they would not have to before; the impact cripples.

    When one looks for life, they are thinking life comes from matter. In between the stars is not a lot of matter. But there is a lot of energies, its a variable stew of energies. Could it be that we are looking for E.T. incorrectly?

    Of course there is the unsettling fact that humanity just hasn't invented the technology to allow us to easedrop on other folks messaging.

    I was thinking of the surviving victums of the Twin Towers Event. Could this device be useful to those above the crash site? How about a cable that allows folks to hold on to? I'm not a soldier, but I don't think that climbing glass walls is a typical combat mission; maybe for the specialty missions?

    How big of an meteorite would one need for a valid proof of concept? Also, in order to create atmosphere, a large shake and bake bag of CO2 for said meteorite? Can the roots grab hold onto said meteorite? Maybe a bit celophane tape to hold the seeds on the meteorite till the roots take hold?

    I know how stupid this is going to sound; but couldn't one test this out by taking a large meteorite fragment up to the ISS and test there? I know what I just said.
