At least they got original, instead of rediscovering the two on Mount Ararat that were built as monuments during the Crusades. Those get "discovered" every couple of years. Wonder if they'll ever get around to "discovering" that batch of similar monuments the Mormons built, about halfway down the Gr...

Given the shift in the discussion here, I'd like to point out there is a well proven and available technology that will reduce home energy bills by 25% to a third, isn't overly expensive and isnt' a bit obtrusive into your life, any more than any other appliance. That's solar water heating. Whether ...

Whew, social breakdown with a vengance.

As those who read my other posts know, last December a computer program was demonstrated that essentially knows what a totally paralyzed patient is thinking, and uses that information to allow him to speak through a speech synthesizer. This device required brain surgery to allow the data pickups to ...

The problem you've got with that graph, despite it's confusion ("it's a duck" as they say in "quantitative display of information") is that examining the peaks and troughs shows an increase in temp over time, not a steady state. There is only one hottest year in a decade or century, it's the trend t...

Thomas, I work in Iraq currently. I work for contractors to the US, providing communication support for the military. Every country has advantages and disadvantages, and there are a lot of pros and cons to weigh before working in any of them. Tax situations, local police and corruption, pay scales, ...

Been absent a while, my father died and I had to fly back to the states for the funeral, then stayed a while as I had some time off coming up about a week after I'd have gotten back. I am an expat, pays better and as long as the tax breaks hold up I get to keep more of it. I can't feel too badly abo...

John, It seems fairly evident that much of the scandal currently rocking the church is due to immoral and unprincipled GenX members taking advantage of stupid and reluctant to act Boomers, much as the scandals in the financial world have played out. Have you mentioned this before and I missed it or ...

John, congratulations on the award from CSC, it's always good to be recognized for your efforts. There are some oddities in the Iranian nuclear program reports that I don't understand, among other things, where are they getting the raw material? If they are burning coal and trapping fly ash, that's ...
