I think they are too. What kind of patriot are you if you hate half of Americans?

Once when I used the phrase "dead cat bounce," someone complained that it was inhumane and cruel.:D

In computer science when several computer nodes share a task, often one node is designated as the "master node" which sends commands for other nodes, the "slave nodes," to execute. This "master-slave" description became politically incorrect when Hazel Oleary became the Energy Secretary in the...

If I argue that we're in a bull market, someone would say, "How can we be in a bull market when all the stocks I hold are negative this year!" You get the idea. Have you heard the story "Blind Men and the Elephant?" It was six men of Indostan To learning much inclined, Who went to see...

You know what? If you had bought stocks of uranium mines in the past few years you'd probably made as much as you would with oil. But no, I did not invest in nuclear power plants. Not under this political environment. Most of my money has been in oil stocks.

I didn't say I was an expert. I'm an investor and I've been following this industry for years. One thing is for sure. If you make your investment decisions according to what's printed in Popular Science (or other such journals), you'd lose everything.

You missed half of my sentence: You are using the fact that climate can change without human influence as an excuse to ignore the overwhelming evidence that human influence on the climate is growing exponentially large. The evidence is irrefutable. Just because you don't understand it doesn't...

Sigh. This is why education reform will never happen in this country. There are a lot of good ideas in this proposal. But why do you mix in your own political agendas? If you really want education reform, why not remove anything that's political so you can gain a wider support? If using your...

Don't you see how illogic your argument is? Past climate changes without human cannot prove that current changes are not caused by human! You are using the fact that climate can change without human influence as an excuse to ignore the overwhelming evidence that human influence on the climate is...

Either you're pulling my legs here, or Popular Science was incorrect. There are two possible ways to make solar panels. First is using silicon. The highest energy conversion efficiency using a single layer of silicon film is about 30%. The efficiency can be raised further by using multiple...

Wrong, wrong, and wrong. Human production of CO2 is not dogma, it's a fact. You don't need to test the "hypothesis" because we know that we're producing large amount of CO2. Is it causing global warming? Of course it is! We know how past CO2 fluctuations have caused climate changes. We know...

Maybe we should look at the analysis by someone not as biased as us? http://www.cass.net.cn/file/2006072878990.html The original text is in Chinese. This is an editorial in a Chinese newspaper. I won't try to translate the whole thing. It first explained that Israel has no motive to attack the...

One thing that the socalled evironmentalists in this country got it wrong, is how to reduce greenhouse emissions. The best solution with current technologies is nuclear. Forget biofuel, solar cell, hydro or wind power. They may be nice complementary energy sources but not cost effective without...

First of all, it wasn't you who got confused on this - it was someone else but I was too lazy to quote the original post. Second, if you think about it, it makes perfect sense and explains the cyclic warming and cooling periods perfectly. The earth orbit around the sun is changing slowly with...

Someone here is confused by what can really cause global warming. It's not caused by the heat from burning things. That heat is only a tiny fraction of the solar energy the earth receives. The vast majority of the solar energy is released by earth to the space in the form of the infrared...

Both were found to be liars. IRS had an audit on the first fellow and found that he didn't owe any tax because he's been losing money in the stock market all his life.

This is a real eye-opener http://www.nypost.com/postopinion/opedcolumnists/too_nice_to_win__israels_dilemma_opedcolumnists_john_podhoretz.htm

Ok, so this is a maybe. There is no proof that organic farming has advantage in terms of energy efficiency over conventional farming. But if you insist I won't argue. The scientific evidence is not there either way. However, it takes energy to extract energy from such waste. When you add the...

Are conservatives supposed to believe the media?:confused:

Did you lose too much in the market today? What are the chances of a smoker getting lung cancer vs a non-smoker? I may have been oversimplying a bit but the fact is, even with the lung cancer gene, you can reduce your risk many folds if you don't smoke.
