The only people I know that bitch about Vista are Linux fanboys.
I've been supporting Windows since the 3.1 days and although I plink around with linux I am by no means a 'fanboy'.
Vista is a bloated, useless, smelly turd of an OS and will go the way of Windows ME as soon as 7 is released.
I have not seen one business or serious user adopt Vista. In fact a sizable portion of my jobs were removing Vista to install XP when Vista first rolled out of it's dark and smelly cave.
I use Vista for the same purpose I use Sarah Palin, an instant intelligence test. If you accept either you have failed the test.
Calling nuclear power insane is just mindless FUD.
Before flinging around the word mindless you might notice I never used the word 'insane', I said more sane. Big difference.
Why not harness energy that's already there instead of creating something although very safe can create devastating consequences if only one thing goes wrong or ends up in the wrong hands?
So you know the full environmental impact of covering deserts with solar collectors, do you? You wouldn't half look stupid if your desert became a wetland in a short space of time because you cooled the region too much.
It would take a tiny fraction of land to build enough concentrator plants compared to the overall amount of desert in the southwest. Besides turning a small portion to wetlands would just increase available farmland, win/win. Also the amount of concrete and asphalt laid down in those desert areas has actually increased the heat so we would actually be resetting the temperatures back to a more natural state.
Removing significant amounts of energy from waves and tides could also have interesting environmental side effects.
The amount of tidal energy we take would be infinitesimal compared to the energy available. The moon has managed to absorb countless massive asteroid/comet strikes and somehow still maintain it's orbit so I think a few tidal generators won't steal too much energy from the moon.
There is plenty of empty desert space we could fill with solar concentrators that would be extremely reliable and provide more then enough electricity for this country. Also with all of our coastlines we could fill in the gaps with wave generators, we will always have tides unless something happens to the moon. Then of course we always have ample generation from dams and geothermal sources.
The Roman Republic is history. So is the America we knew in the '60's.
America is Rome and is heading down the same path, corroding away from the inside until all it takes is a few hairy barbarians to topple over the empty shell. The 60's was just a momentary burp along the way. After that we have the next dark ages to look forward to.
I remember seeing a picture floating around on the net some years ago of someone trying to carry a full load of lumber using a small front wheel drive car.
That statement would make sense if most recent truck purchases were to actually haul lumber but the sad truth is that most of them are nothing more than very expensive penis pumps.
Back in 'the day' a truck was a dented, rusty tank that was used to haul crap to the dump. If you had a bunch of kids you got a fake wood paneled station wagon. The 'SUV' was a Madison Avenue invention that failed, big difference. Time to pay the piper Detroit.
You have obviously never read The Iliad. It has absolutely no romance, no evil empire, and no rebellion. It is about the pride and honor of one of the greatest warriors in Greek history/mythology, set during the greatest siege in Greek history.

Also, if you drink enough of it, you stop caring about all the cow corpses lying around!
Then you wake up the next morning and realize they are all dead because you went on a drunken cow tipping binge.

...flooded with UV and high levels of radiation.
That could be solved by digging base into thick layers of rock.
Alcohol IS food.
Let's talk again when you reach 35, if you reach 35 that is.
Of course, because without fear it is far more difficult to control people.
Of course, because without fear it is impossible to control people.
There, fixed that for ya.
I never got my ass kicked at a playground, but have you ever experienced getting your ass kicked by a particularly nasty virus or identity thief?
Trust me, the playground version is much worse.

If it goes to a foundation for the study of the long term effects of marijuana.
You don't need brains for that study, an afternoon stroll through Berkeley would give you all the data you need.
So yes mindless FUD.
Sorry I disagree with you but I don't resort to insults because of that.
My opinion was thought out and not 'mindless' it just doesn't happen to jive with what you believe.
Do you always lash out and insult people with differing opinions than yours? Why that sounds almost... mindless.

The USS cracked
Sounds like the worst name ever for a ship.
And nuclear is far reliable than solar and wind.

So many more sane options than nuclear.

Onward to the future!
50 years of design and the best shape that rocket scientists can come up with is penis shaped?
They experimented with a vagina based design but none of the rocket scientist nerds could figure out how to make it work.
Oh shit, I lied.
Oh shit, I lied again.
You lied twice so your pants must be on fire by now.

The trend was towards Communism before the war started, IIRC.
Which war would that be, French, British, American or Chinese?
Although to be fair, it was technically the previous generation that made the bed.
It's pretty easy to choose Communism when Democracy is blowing your babies in half.
Weight of money does not necessarily add credance to a particular viewpoint.

You speak of fundamentals, I speak of myth.
How can you say its a forgettable story when its been re-used a multitude of times, including in Harry Potter!
And Lord of the Rings, the Iliad, Grimms Fairy Tales, 1001 Nights, the 12 Labors of Hercules, the Bible, the Koran, etc...
Congratulations you've discovered mythology!
...there were a number of "interesting deaths" surrounding the Clintons as well.
Snopes disputes that.
