    Hopefully the turd tax isn't too much, either way it sounds like it's the way to go. Turds are gross.

    Unless you can just get your employer to buy the turds, they you probably wouldn't even notice the rising turd cost. Andd it looks like you don't actually have to eat them, just buy them.

    Either way it sounds like we're focusing way too much time on turds, aren't there more important things we could be moving onto?

    Exactly, you just gave a great argument for the mandate (now tax) in your 1st 4 sentences.

    The rest of that keyboard diarrhea reads like "I just bought a car 10 years ago, and now I have to get new tires? I'm 1024 percents certain this car will destroy 'amerika".

    Why would anyone want to eat turds? I don't understand how the turd eating lobby got so powerful in your world?

    Insurance companies already pay for the uninsured by way of hospital costs. Most likely nothing will change. This is how government works.

    If a guy spent a year of his time and money designing a bench to sell to parks, then no, other parks should not just be able to swipe the design.

    Why not? If it's a clever bench people should be able to try and make it themselves.

    Just proving a point

    it's one thing to download a song or movie, say "That was crap", and erase it. It's another thing to actively copy millions of them, or assist others to do it, and distribute those copies to other people.

    Only the original author(s) have the right to copy their creation. Maybe that law is unjust and needs to be changed (like downsizing the 110 year span to 20 years), but for now that is the law and these guys are clearly violating it.

    Heads don't spin (well except yours)... Let's summarize since you're obviously have difficulty following.

    It's ok, I'm patient and don't mind helping out the handicapped.

    The heat sink/impeller spins of an air bearing, since it is rotating it is subject to conservation of angular momentum. If you were to rotate the laptop while it was spinning the reaction torque would collapse your air gap causing your air bearing to stop functioning.

    Hopefully you managed to stay off your crack pipe long enough to make it through that paragraph. No one is arguing the feasibility of the air bearing, it's just like the boundary layer of lubricant on your mom's butt-hole.

    easy... really easy.
