I have a 12v 1 sq m solar panel on my boat(actually I have 2). It is rated at 130 watts. It cost $540. How would these compare? I am more concerned about squeezing more watts into less space, than I am about saving a few dollars. thanks
As soon as Kerry said he would answer the question, the student was justified with staying at the mic and the police hould have backed off rather than inflame the situation. For the police to drag him off after being legitimized by Kerry is definately an act of overzealous police officers going beyond what was necessary. To then taze him after that is the very type of police state we are trying to avoid. The officer in charge was defintely not looking at the big picture there and should have called off his men. He should definately be reprimanded!
Just a fact of life. I got a patent for trapping and color separation of postscript print files in the mid 80s. When another company stated doing the same thing, my patent lawyer had sent out letters to sease and desist of course they ignored that. Patent law litigators response was send them a check for $50,000 to get started.
Someone just opened the locker door enclosing our universe at Grand Central Station and we could see out. The apparent stars are the lighting inside Grand Central.
It's not really the price of solar panels but the return on investment. How much do you pay and how much do you save and over how many years do you amortize the cost of the panels. If you pay lets say 200% for more efficient panels ($5/watt goes up to $10/watt), but the efficiency goes up by 400% (12% to 50%), the return on investment has just doubled even though you might have to pay more for the original.
I can only say that when laws are passed that are irreversible, that is when we will be in trouble. Until then every power given to the president can be taken away and that goes for him, his vp, speaker of the house and on down. For the Congress & Senate to pass irreversible laws or for the Pres to ask for irreversible laws will never happen. Neither the Pres or the houses would allow the other to amass such power. For the Pres in collusion with the houses agree to amass all irreversible power is ludicrous. I really don't think you have anything to worry about. A situation may go sour for a few years (no morer than 2 or 3) but it will ultimately be reversed.
The world needs a few idealists like you. It also needs a few realists like me. Padilla is guilty or we would have heard more about his innocence and his wife would be on TV praying for him and all the other things that come to light when someone is illegally condemned. Our system isn't perfect. They are still letting people out of prison who had fair trials 30 years ago and were found guilty and now they are found innocent. I was being facetious again when I said boxers named Mohammed. However I do believe in some degree of profiling. Bush is no favorite of mine but you are beginning to exaggerate things trying to find additional support for your argument (not that we are arguing). While the writers of the constitution did their best they were still only human beings doing the best they could. I don't think any of them considered that someone being set free on a technicality could set off a dirty bomb all by themselves killing many tens of thousands and doing trillions in damage and making a great city uninhabitable for decades. If the closest comparison you can find of a wrongdoing similar to Padilla occurred 150 years ago, I'd say I'll rest my case.
Yes I would give the government as much reign as they have today. All your concerns about reduced freedoms are hypothetical, what ifs and conjectures. There have been a few screwups...Abu Graib and I'm sure you could name others, but all in all they have a pretty good record. Mistakes are unavoidable. Padilla didn't denie in his defense that he was not an enemy combatant. They tried to get him off for other reasons. I am behind our law enforcement all the way. I might be inclined to limit airline access to martial artists and boxers if they recently changed their name to Mohammad. Look, the state department and all the other government agencies are on our side when it comes to terrorism. Sure there may be a few bad apples but by and large I respect our law enforcement and anything that will make their job easier I'm for. Yes I heard that a personal attack on someone's person might be deemed terrorism but the fact is that people are being killed left and right in this country and I haven't heard terrorism as a motive in any of them. I think you are worrying for nothing. The government hasn't shown any kind of propensity for the acts that you are so worried about. It's not a dictatorship. Laws can alway be changed back. When law enforcement gets overzelous and gets caught they pay the penalty and we have seen that happen time and again.
I am glad you acknowledge that the incidents you speak of are accidents. As far as Padilla is concerned...clearly he was an enemy combatant, whether caught in the act or by association. If he isa supposed to be an example of the failure or potential failure of our sysem, I don't see it. Due process may have been eroded but the smell test definately applies. At the very best for Padilla he was a merc if not directly loyal to Al Qaeda for religious reason he was a paid gun. Why else are you running around in Afghanistan. I don't think he was a tourist or a student of foreign affairs. Guilt by association at the very least. As for the banning of speach driving it underground, you are right however if a terrorist has no idea who believes in his cause he will not know where to turn to seek aid and is more likely to be caught. Denying terrorists safe harbor is the intent. Secret search warrants don't bother me because I don't have anything to hide. Only people with something to hide need be afraid. I think there were legal immigrants that got caught up in the dragnet for illegals and while they may have been held for some months eventually they got out. The system may not be perfect but I believe it makes the work of terrorists a little more difficult. I've een searched at the airport for no reason. I don't like it but that is one of the prices of safety. Is it at times rediculous? Yes. Not everything is perfect. As far as your conversation with the Jewish woman...It's unfortunate but true that religion has been the cause of almost all major conflicts throughout human history. The issues in the middle east go back 2000 years ago as to who gets the Arab lands...the son or half son of Abraham. It was an event totally botched by issues of greed, power and ego among the players at the time. God promised that it would be Isaac's descendants who would inherit the land given to Abraham. (Genesis 13:14-18, 15:18-21, 28:13-14). Ishmael had no part in the inheritance and promise given to Isaac through Abraham even though he was the son for 13 years before being banished. I think first amendmnt liberty has its time and place and protecting terrorists is not one of them.
I thought we agreed that the RFID chips are just to get people through the line faster. Or at least that is what you said in an earlier response. I believe you said more or less that the loss of security by using the RFID chips just to reduce waiting time was not worth it. I never said anything aout RFID chips improving the security of the passport. I did say more or less that RFID plus other biometric scans would increase the likelihood that our planes would be safer at least internationally until such time as they may institute a US identity card. As far as erosion of freedoms that you speak of, they are all hypothetical. They haven't happened yet. I definately think that someone who verbally supports terrorism places themselves outside of normal protections of first amendment rights. Terrorist don't play by any rules and I don't see that anyone who vocalizes support for them should be protected. Terrorists choose to work outside the law and outside the political process. As such they and all their supporters are fair game as far as I am concerned. The only people who need worry are those that support terrorists. Terrorists can't survive without the support of sympathizers. Catching a sympathizer means one less person to support a terrorist. With regards your a-d statements above I agree with them until such time as terrorist attacks stop. I think bottom line advice for anyone operating on the fringe of any activity associated with terrorism, who is doing it because they choose to exercise what they feel are their inalienable rights, think again and put as much distance as possible between themslves and any such activity because they are playing with fire and if they get burned they knew better. Those who supported terrorist statements before they were criminalized are just as guilty as far as I am concerned. We have had these laws in place you say since 1996...well I have yet to see cameras in my car to make dure my seat belt is used. As far as random sobriety tests, I wish there was a quicker way to do it so I wouldn't have to wait on line so long. Maybe an implanted RFID chip that measures sobriety levels and then makes that info available at checkpoints to scanners. In fact i think I read of a car that has a built in tester. It should transmit that info for the police. People shouldn't have the inalienable rights to hurt other people through their own misguided sense of self righteousness.
you're meandering. Do I need the right to move around annomously. Not particularly. Do I want to give it up. Not for nothing but if the powers that be think it will make it a little easier to get through immigration lines. It makes sense to me. I hate standing on lines. As for arbitrary government, like I said there are a lot of watchdog agencies and people like you and when they and you cumulatively cry loud enough, laws get changed. Remember this is still a democracy where laws get changed and presidents and their advisors can be impeached without bloodshead if the checks and balances get to heavy on one side. As for it being more likely to get hit by a car than a terrorist you are right. However being hit by a car was likely an accident unless the driver was DUI and not the actions of a fanatic with intent to commit murder. There is a difference. Not to the dead one of course. I did give up the right "not to wear a seat belt" so I would be less likely to die in a car accident. Do you still cling to that right, not to wear a seat belt because you feel freer? Terrorism is insidiousa. There are a whole bunch of people sitting out there trying to think of ways to get at us. Some ways are easier than others. Hard targets vs soft targets. Any action we can take to deter them from a particular course of action is a benefit for which I am willing to give up rights that I don't use. You mention the cause of terrorism and that is a whole nother story which we can get into if you want but that has nothing to do with RFIDs on passports. There are a number of religious fanatics that have started this terorist war for religious reasons. They think the entire world should be Islamic at whatever cost. It has been picked up by overtrodden people not so religious throughout the world who have axes to grind. Some got up on the wrong side of the bed and others had their sister killed in a crossfire with Americn soldiers. Others are just hungry and can't afford a Big Mac and got kicked out of MacDonalds because they were begging for food for their family. Others just want power for the sake of power. Without power their lives feel meaningless.
I was being facetious. Personally I don't have anything to hide. If they want to monitor where I go. What do I care. Oh they have found out I spend a lot of time in the baby food isle and so they send me coupons for diapers. What's the big deal. Oh I bought something in a porn shop and now my wife will find out because they send me ads for xxx movies. That's not RFIDs fault and it shouldn't be held responsible for peoples' indescresions.
Maybe a little more big brother watching might keep a few more people honest. An aluminum foil sandwich will keep your passport safe from illicit scanning. I'm sure the rfid scan will eventually be coupled with some other biometric scan either fingerprint or iris or retinal. Ultimately it makes crime more difficult. Maybe some super crime syndicate will outwit the newest features, but the average lowlife with no access to high tech won't be able to start his own jihad on my flight In the event government becomes abusive over a period of time you can always write your congressman or woman and when enough people write, laws get changed. It happens all the time. The ACLU and many other watchdog agencies love to stand up for human rights. I have a life to live and I'd like it to be a little safer from fanatics, religious or otherwise.
immigration holding cell for a week the next time I travel international. And oh yeh why would a terrorist need a scanner to find outI was an American. All they would have to do is look at me. What are they going to do blow me up? Hold me, a nobody American, for ransom? Some of you people are too paranoid about the silliest things.
Internet porn reaching all time highs...so is the divorce rate. Do they have anyting to do with each other? I don't know, they are just two factors that track a similar parallel and may be statistically significant. Divorce is related to a breakdown in relationsships and porn is according to the author also somehow related. If two items are related to the same thing then they must be related to each other.
Now is the time to do it while people are living in refugee centers. There will be very little resistance to moving to a new home at the government's expense. Eminent domain 1,000 sq miles in the midwest and build a new city. Disney World did it in FL. There was nothing when they started. Look at it now. What would all these people do for work? That's the tough question. Call centers?
There was a recent article about electric fields being able to divert electrically charged particles protecting people under the electric field, on the moon for example. Being that this concept is still in its infancy, I would suspect it is just a matter of time till they have some kind of field to divert cosmic and gamma radiation from space vehicles with only a small incremental increase in mass.
As Saddam's son (whatever his name was) I am entrusted with safeguarding our country's WMD. I gather all the BIO weapons onto a few trucks. I get another couple of trucks with a few bulldozers, my personal bodyguard, 4 security guards, as well as the equipment operators. I drive out into the desert 10 miles from anywhere. I have the equipment operators dig a trench 15 ft wide and 10 feet deep and the length of all the trucks I drove out there. I drive all the trucks with the WMD into the trench and bury them. I write down the GPS location, blow up the still visible bulldozers so they look like war casualties, have the security personel kill the equipment operators, my body guard kill the security personnel, I kill my bodyguard and drive back, the only person who knows where the WMD are hidden. I then die in a shootout while avoiding capture.
One hundred years from now when they are building a new housing subdivision outside Bahgdad they will dig up some trucks and say "Oh look what we found."
You obviously didn't read the link that you claim supports your argument. I'll post it here for you to see:
"Thimerosal is a mercury-containing preservative used in some vaccines and other products since the 1930's. No harmful effects have been reported from thimerosal at doses used in vaccines, except for minor reactions like redness and swelling at the injection site. However, in July 1999, the Public Health Service (PHS) agencies, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and vaccine manufacturers agreed that thimerosal should be reduced or eliminated in vaccines as a precautionary measure.
Today, with the exception of some Influenza (flu) vaccines, none of the vaccines used in the U.S. to protect preschool children against 12 infectious diseases contain thimerosal as a preservative."
The position taken by the industry, and a typical one at that, is to deny everything and agree to stop using the diputed items to avoid a lawsuit.
Furthermore your need to tell me to "shutup" is typical of people living in denial. Or perhaps you are yourself afflicted with autism and are unable to focus on the realities and I feel sorry for you.
poisoning in early childhood vaccinations. I have a friend whose child now about 6 has/had autism and she has traced the onset to vaccinations (imbued with "safe" mercury) her child received in the 1-2 yr old time period. Her child was showing all the classic symptoms. After 4 years of blood cleansing diets and treatments to reduce high levels of mercury her child with some support has been enrolled and is doing well in kindergarten and is only one year behind for his age group. She says he will always suffer some of the effects of his early childhood autism such as restricted diets and other issues that I can't recall the top of my head.
secretly implant higher powered rfd trackers in insurgents or terrorists and let them go. Then follow. Whenever you see a bunch of them together...bomb em. Worat case scenario, when word gets out, the terrorists start killing each other because of security risks of someone who has been detained.

eveyone would get fatter by not expending any extra energy, like exercising, to avoid paying higher taxes
