This sounds like a great reason to pass the Reinheitsgebot in the US. The Reinheitsgebot is the German law from the 15hundreds that said the only ingredients in Bier could be barley, hops and water. Although they do allow for wheat in weissbier.
Granted, Belgium has done some good stuff with cherries and I do like a honeyweiss on occasion, this is proof that the we in the US are not to be trusted.
Homer: Hey Apu, give me a six pack of that Skittle Brau. Apu: I don not believe such a concoction exists. Homer: Than give me a pack of skittles and a six pack.
There are alot of lives on the line in this election, both American and Otherwise. People haven't paid much attention over the last 3 years if they don't realize that.

We did this back in high school physics class and since it was raining we fired them down the hall. Extra credit points to the distance winner. I didn't win that but I did hit my english teacher. I think I won in the long run.
I think people that view Science and Religion as mutually exclusive have some warped views of both. In the end, the goal of any normal religion in my opinion is to guide people to lead better lives and establish some sense of morals. ( Whatever that may be in the religion's view. ) Science on the hand really offers us new ways to live, it doesn't really provide an insight into whether we should or not live that way. A overused example for instance would be the Atom Bomb. Science lead to its creation, but specific individuals' morality lead to its use. Maybe it should or shouldn't have, that is off topic, but without morals applied science really runs amuck.
If you really want to believe in God, what is so hard about believing he setup the laws of science and nature the way he did so that the Big Bang,life and evolution and everything else was possible. It really isn't that hard, and we can just let science keep on trying to explain his creation if that is what you believe it is.
There is a basic idea in economics of positive and negative externalities, that refers to costs and benefits that are not incurred by the supplier. i.e. The additional cost of fossil fuels is the pollution they generate, but this is not paid for by these companies. This is a classic example of a negative externality. Likewise, it seems likely to me that suppliers of wind energy are not receiving a an extra checks for creating clean energy, although maybe some from the government. What we ought to be doing is charging the dirty energy sources extra (what ever quantified amount that may be) and giving that money to clean energy sources. Likely you will see a solid movement to cleaner energy then, and companies will find a way to make a profit.
This is an example of speech recognition not voice.
Voice recognition is identifiying an individual by there voice. Example: movie Sneakers which any good geek should have seen. "My voice is my passport, verify."
Speech recognition is simply trying to identify the words being spoken. Like the lackluster system used by United when you call up to get flight times.

What are the odds they forget to reboot and it all crashes after 30 days?

Drop the whiskey shot in the beer and drink immediately. Its called a Boilermaker here.

Dude, thats easy, we just have the Federal Reserve print up a few extra of those sexy new Benjamins.

This is totally backwards,
