@MaNiFeX: Actually... some fish oils have been tested and approved by the FDA for the treatment of high triglycerides. Lovaza is one such product that has been approved by the FDA.

@goatsitter: A recent comprehensive study conducted by Dr. Bruce Barrett of the University of Wisconsin showed that echinacea is no more effective at treating the common cold than a placebo. This study was the largest study on echinacea to date. The study was conducted on 719 people ranging in age from 12 to 80 years

@dsh: Echinacea is not safe or effective for treating ANYTHING.

The snake oil industry is BOOMING and it concerns me a lot. The products vary from magnetic bracelets to Penis extension drugs... In case anyone needs a clue... The following products don't do anything except cost you money:

Overpriced. Underperforms. Now THIS is what I call a dustbuster. [www.amazon.com]

Do not Disturb = RAID. Not a good idea.

I will make a comment that has nothing to do with race. With all these drones flying around... (From ALL countries including the US...) I hope someone is talking to air traffic control. These drones add a whole new dimension to the term "bird strike" I don't want to look out the window on my next airline flight

If the turbojets can fly back to earth and land line an airplane why do they need the rail gun? Why can't it just take off like an airplane and skip that whole expensive rail gun thing?

TSA is staffed by humans. To err is human. Unfortunately AI is just not able to reliably detect stuff like this. People are still better at finding random dangerous objects than computers. But people occasionally make mistakes.

@abeeee: Yes they all have "terms & conditions". For example you need to have proof of purchase or value. For damage claims you need to use a "new" box. You need to mark your package "fragile." You need to provide adequate padding materials. They have information about the terms & conditions for insurance on the

I prefer to smash the necks off my bottles on the corner of a table... That way I have a handy glass knife to defend my self while I get drunk.

UPS Stores are independently owned and operated franchises. They are not UPS.

Discovery program? Adrian, I guess we need to explain that the Discovery is only ONE of the 5 shuttles in the SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM. Challenger and Columbia crashed. There are three remaining shuttles in the fleet. Discovery, Atlantis and

Scanning cameras have been around for a long time. And they are STILL one of the best ways to capture an image. Companies like Sinar, Phase One and Better Light were making trilinear scanning cameras before this Leica came along. (Like 1987...)

@salt_bagel: He said it's controlled by a PIC microprocessor. It probably uses model airplane servos or small stepper motors. (Like many newer analog quartz watches.)

@Caleb Goessling: Caleb... As you say... The dB level is regulated. The reason commercials sound loud is that they are compressed to HELL and the average dB level is held at zero dB throughout the entire commercial... So the perceived volume sounds much louder than the normal uncompressed program material.

So the only flaw is the ugly bugger stuck to the lower right corner of the frame. Otherwise awsome footage.

Streaming audio over WiFi from your iPhone to an Airport Express = Dead battery on your iPhone. The WiFi stream will suck the battery dry in no time.

Oh darn. Now I need to put another layer of aluminum foil on my hat!

I simply don't believe this claim. Some of that footage must be real. (Or most of it.)
