    That's the problem.......you should have eaten cake.

  2. It would be nice if the article had some benchmarks and graphs. The only benchmark the linked to (that I saw) was a benchmark for startup times between iOS and a Galaxy.

    No data, no point.

    The market was there. Plenty of people wanted an electric car. Musk was just the first to deliver a product that was acceptable to the market (although arguably Prius went half way there).

    The memo is real, it was listed on PNAC's website for a long time. You're dumb as a brick. Instead of trying to figure out if it's real or not (you know, by using Google) you merely attack it. You attack it because you disagree with it.

    It's not that you're dumb, you don't know how to collect information.

    Have there been any tests on blocking ballistic missiles with high energy lasers? A ballistic missile is basically a falling rock, so it's not easy to stop.

  7. Wouldn't a rational person read / watch CNN, NYT, Breitbart, HuffPost, Reason, Zero Hedge, Mother Jones, Infowars, Final Call, etc...

    A person who did that would have their brain turned to marshmallow. Most of those aren't worth reading the vast majority of days. They are entertainment that emphasizes the adversarial nature of politics. Like watching a sports team, their goal isn't to be accurate and watching the other side doesn't help.

    It's better to find some sources that are a step above CNN or InfoWars in terms of trying to convey accurate information. Remember the media can't change your opinion easily, but they can get you to talk about whatever they want, and they know it. So they manipulate you by choosing the story.

  8. Well why aren't they living in them?

    No work. Need money.

  9. You had a Target??

    btw the reason I get 'modded up' is because I have good karma. No one is coming being after to say they agree with me, you shouldn't take that as a vote in favor or against. Rummie himself signed this.

  11. Is that a quote from somewhere? I know people in Mammoth get all kinds of wildlife in their back yards, and that's urban yuppie-dom.

  12. Yeah I would have your neighbor move his hay field if I were you. Grow it somewhere else or something.

    Are you going to deny that he brought in advisors who advocated invading Iraq before he ever became president? You sad sack of factlessness.

    No native peoples today do that - they wound first with spears or arrows then follow it until it dies, they don't wear it down physically!

    Wow, at least check out Wikipedia before making ignorant declarations. Not only are there eye witness accounts, there are even youtube videos.

  16. Urban.

  17. Even in Asia, people would rather have large houses all else equal.

  18. If you can stand on your front porch and throw a rock that hits your neighbor's property, you're in an urban area.

    You don't even need to implement anything.....zmap will scan the whole world very quickly.

  21. The problem with walkable communities: many people would rather walk in their own yard rather than on someone else's sidewalk. In other words, people don't want to live in a small apartment, they want a decent sized house, even if it means driving more.

    1. It is not obvious he wanted to invade Iraq before the war.

    It wasn't obvious to YOU. The people who he hired clearly wanted to invade Iraq.

    2.Your recollection of what happened in the Afghanistan war is amazingly faulty. It was a stunning success by all accounts.

    Seriously..........you wish it was a success and so you twist your vision until it matches your dream.

    Two points:

    1) Whether the Afghanistan war was necessary or not (and there's an argument to be made for it), the execution of the war was poorly done. The day after 9/11, every country in the world was on the side of America. A month later, Bush had managed to turn them all against America. This is poor diplomacy at the least. Furthermore if he'd focused more on that war, it would have been done much more quickly. Instead he got distracted by Iraq.

    2) It was obvious he wanted to invade Iraq before he even got elected. If you watch the debates with Gore you will see this, and if you look at the writings of the people he brought in as his advisors you will this. He wanted to invade Iraq before going into office.
