I'd dispute it, in fact in January the Republicans completely caved to President Obama and he got the tax increases he was wanting; but at the time they said fine we capitulated you got a $85billion tax hike, now you got to at least give us something and reduce spending in the spring, we bent over took it in the ass…

Ha! European and Asian security firms.... you do of course realize that France has been fined repeatedly for using government spies to steal tradesecrets of other countries companies right? To think that this solely or even mostly a US based activity is very, very naive; there's a reason why most nation states…

Think about it in terms like this our average population continues to get older, most of the people who are 70,80,90 have paid off their 30 year mortgage based purely on attrition (not early pay off). There are a shed load of people in that age range in the US which would consume the bulk of the 30% without…

You don't need much movement for a speaker, the only thing that tends to need more movement is extreme base, but even then you still don't need that much. Look up magnaplane speakers, speakers of that size already exist (drooled over the MartinLogan Statement II for years), the problem they have is they tend to be…

It's one of the best tools for fast, wide spread, unconfirmed rumors.

As an individual it's fairly easy to stop using a product, as an individual it's extremely difficult to stop being under government ruling.

A hazmat symbol on a truck doesn't really mean much without context. In college I ran a forklift and as part of the training session, had to learn quite a bit about the symbols, etc. Most of which I've forgotten but a couple of things have stuck i.e. a truckload of sand at a certain level actually has to have a…

Not too long ago (80's, 90's) one could say the same thing about Europe and their fixation with all things American, and vice versa with Americans fixation on European items. In the late 80's my Mom's sister had an American car explicitly shipped over to Switzerland (Mom's native country) and it took 4-6 months to…

One of the problems I have with seeing him in the commercials is that is "that 70's show, stupid Kelso" voice comes through. He tries making this poignant statement and because he is using the same voice again (including tone and inflection) I can't suspend my disbelief. He needs a vocal coach to improve his range…

Compared to Apple in amount of profits each is taking in... Amazon *is* the little guy between the two. In fact Amazon lost money last quarter compared to billions (with a B) in profits Apple made last quarter. If anybody can stand to shave a bit off it's Apple, I don't believe they deserve 30% cut of everybody's…

I know the name of the website dronestagram but these aren't drones. They are taken with multicopters, (tri, quad, hex, octa). As a RC hobbyist and builder of quadcopters we in the RC field want to make a very distinct differentiation between the government drones everybody gets fired up about (particularly since…

Here is the actual bill http://about.usps.com/postal-act-200… Please point me to the section where what you said is true, because it's absolutely not true that they have to pay their entire pension years before they hire a person. Quit going around spreading lies, or point to the part of the law that backs up what…

But that's the part of life everybody forgets. Those guaranteed accounts are basically invested the same way as 401k's are, just that instead of individuals making decisions a manager is doing it for everybody. Check out the city of Detroit and look at what happens when you have made guarantees. It's simply…

That's peanuts compared to what Detroit did to itself (I live in A2). Even Liberal economists talk how Detroit taxed and spent itself into oblivion. Even having the highest taxes among the 50 largest cities in the US (heck even have a city income tax), sky high property taxes on shit holes, they still haven't been…

This video is appropriate, at 4:45 min, flying blending blades of death coming right for us!!! The operator is actually a really good 3D flyer ,but it shows that you that a slight miscalculation at even 30+ feet away and you can still be ginsu'd.

Umm... yeah your suggestion is simply stupid. Sure it will make a nice big hole but the problem is that it also left a hole in the wall and the the door and kid across the street. The judge is meant specifically to reduce penetration of walls, etc. it's sole purpose in life is for close contact and to limit…

I think it's more of the the thought that they feel the people are taking over their "brand" and pushing them out into something else. Being branded a geek/nerd often meant you were ostracized by others until you found others similar to you and would band together with similar bonds. They feel like these new group…

That's true for actual aircraft not model aircraft/drones. The maximum altitude in the US allowed by the FAA for model is 400', as 500' is where the planes fly. I've not seen a FAA specific regulation regarding a specified required distance from people. AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) rules specify that a…

I'd say because they are like the monster cable of speakers. For the price to buy a Bose system that doesn't sound bad, you could have bought a system that sounded so much better. Monster HDMI and speaker cables aren't bad products, it's just for the price you are paying they should be much, much better.

Not bad but 2.2 lbs isn't much at all for 1000... you need to go check out the 2013 beer lift challenge HobbyKing. 50.7 lbs is the current unlimited class winner, and 14.7 lbs is the current 700mm. He should be able to have his secret agent holdings a pistols and using a camera gimble control the direction and…
