My problem with his setup it that it requires ice water from the start. So he basically uses the output from one cooling system (the ice maker) and uses it to create a 2nd and even more inefficient cooling system. Sort of like connecting the engine of your car to a dynamo then using the electricity to drive. You've added a middle step. He doesn't even save any $ on electricity because of the ice maker.
I think the definition of who and what is a nerd has been stretched over time. Is it someone who is into a specific cultural meme (Star Trek, LofTR), someone who isn't into sports (that would excluse Tiger Woods), socially awkward (but why all the cons and fests?), someone who is into the nitty gritty of technology, or must they have something from all these? When they start claiming multimillionaire Hollywood actors are nerds I'd say that was pushing it.
I hate to say it but it looks like nerdom has been coopted by the mainstream just like skate boarding and rap music have been.
Credit Card companies make most of their money off of interest charges and fees (such as annual fees for air mile cards). If you pay off your balance every month like a responsible person they consider you a "freeloader".
1. Broadcasts of music from car to car 2. Ability to specify the sending and recieving car 3. Broadcasts of voice and text 4. Ability to send graphics 5. Ability to send live video 6. Guys sending live video feeds of their privates to innocent woman driving by
I'd hope the numbers would drop if they rephrased the questions:
Q. Do you believe there is such a thing as a UFO? A. Yes, it just means something we can't identify.
Q. Do you believe UFOs are actually spaceships controlled by alien life forms? A. No
Q. Do you believe there is intelligent alien life anywhere else in the universe. A. Yes, based the size of the universe the odds are just too great for there not to be.
Q. Do you believe intelligent alien life has visited the Earth? A. No, it is more likely they would try some form of e/m radiation to communicate instead.
Funny how the people who believe the most strongly in alien visitations also believe in angelic visitations (or they share common beliefs). I think there is a primitive need in these people for a savior figure from above to come and take care of them. Maybe it is a leftover from infancy and needing a protective parent.
They'll actually start encouraging the cast to screw up in front of the camera so they can have more blooper shots to pad the movie DVD with. Soon they'll have "Show up drunk on the set" day.
Maybe they'll start showing the business bloopers too. Morris in accounting: "And this is crazy! See, I forgot to include capital depreciation in that quarter so we took a tax hit on the film editing systems. Everyone just cracked up!"
I was looking at the boxed sets for TLoTR in a store and after I saw the DVD extras "map" guide (basically a flowchart to all of the extras on the other DVDs) I could only think "Do I really give a damn how the cast's hairdresser prepared for a shoot?". Soon they'll be adding in "A behinds the scenes look at the catering."
It shows where this nation's priorities are when there are more warnings and threats on my DVDs than there are on the label of a prescription medicine bottle.
Why can't they make the plastic for the disc out something hard as, say, polycarbonate (used in sunglasses). If you need a softer material near the recording medium then they could do a layer of polycarbonate on the surface so at least it won't scratch as easily.
Funny thing is, Ballmer predicted Google's demise in 5 years and that is also the planned release date for Microsoft's line of giant Japanese MecaRobots!
Great, with these arrests now I'll never get that bottle of counterfit Viagra I ordered, get that great mortgage rate, or meet lonely local housewives.
HOMER This industry moves so fast it's really hard to tell. That's why I need a name that's cutting-edge, like CutCo, EdgeCom, InterSlice... come on, Marge, you're good at these! Help me out!
MARGE How about... CompuGlobalHyperMegaNet?
Seriously though, they use consultants now to come up with these awful generic names for companies. It isn't much different than how they come up with names for new drugs. They just use a list of prefixes and suffixes that vaugly sound like the product or some image they want to create. I'm sure someone has come up with a program to crank out lists of possible names and cross reference them against trademark lists.
In the meantime try these: Cyber*, *.com, Dyna*, *dyne, *sure, *smart, *tech, Hyper*
Three letter acronyms are also a good choice.
I wonder if any actually uses a human name for a company anymore like Ford or SS Pierce.

Just buy an efficient AC unit.

If he was really smart he would have broken into the alien computer system via the link in...ah, forgot I ever said that.
The Bunny Ranch in Nevada maybe?
"Freeloaders" Get Higher Fees
GE Punishes "Freeloaders"
BJs Drops Customers
If you think that is bad you should listen to the credit card industry that punishes people who pay their balances off in full every month.
"If your routine action has a significant net negative effect on...the people around you, it is a 'problem habit'."
Oh no, I'm addicted to pooping!
Not if the next track she plays is NWA's "Straight Outta Compton"
Let me predict the natural path this will take:
1. Broadcasts of music from car to car
2. Ability to specify the sending and recieving car
3. Broadcasts of voice and text
4. Ability to send graphics
5. Ability to send live video
6. Guys sending live video feeds of their privates to innocent woman driving by

Plus, without a table how will you ever be able to shoot Greedo first?
Hype is why the same exact thing everyone lusted over for weeks before Christmas is found sitting in the bargain bin the week after.
"...but do people NOT know that you don't light glass tubes of gasoline on fire?"
I think these two answered that question already.
Actually Tom and Jerry hug and go to church.
"What about all the training and investment IBM made in those people, do they think it was free?"
Good point, IBM is doing a disservice to their shareholders by letting go so many valuable employees.
Well there goes my plans for the summer!
Obviously they didn't throw out all of the Nazi medical experiments data when the war ended.
