Doing stupid things is worse than doing nothing. And if you think America isn't ruled by an EPA iron fist that regularly crushes productivity under its heel then you really aren't paying attention - or perhaps you're just gullible. The fact is that the US is one of the most heavily regulated nations on the plant for…

Typical Green Stupidity on display. Not that there is any other kind...

It's equally amazing how oblivious you are to other facts. Oil isn't "ancient organisms". It is a petrochemical created FROM organisms - some ancient and some not so ancient. Oil is "finite" only in the same sense that dirt is finite and air is finite - but the flawed perception that there is only "X" amount of oil…

The CIA Factbook and other statistical sources prove the following about the world population...

Krull really did have an awesome secondary cast. Liam, Coltrain, Freddy Jones, David Battley.. They were all very well cast. Sadly, the leads were not as good as the secondary. Ken Marshall in particular was just awful, and Lyssette wasn't a lot better.

Cheerios must do the same thing somehow because they have a 'softer' mouth feel along with a lighter oat taste. The generic Cheerios have always seemed 'starchier', crispier, and the oat taste was either totally in your face or didn't really taste like oats at all.

It used to be easier to tell the difference, but some of the off-brands have been getting much better as time goes on. It used to be that I could totally tell the difference between Fruity Dyno Bites and Fruity Pebbles - but now they are awfully darn close. MaltoMeal has been perfecting their cheaper versions for…

Agreed. Real Corn Flakes have a toasty background flavor that the generic versions just can't match. However, the generic Frosted Flakes and the real deal are pretty much the same to me.

Someone else summed it all up very succinctly...

Read a grammar book and try again. Quotation marks are used for citations, but also for irony and/or emphasis. And (as I expected) you have no actual response and so resort to the standard defeated argument trope of attacking the man rather than attempting to salvage the wreckage of your positions. Typical, but…

Quick response: The number of times I need to drive more than 40 miles in a day is about 4 to 8 times in an average month. So no, on most days I wouldn't need 864 pounds of batteries. But I would need around 400 pounds of batteries on MOST days, and having enough power to travel the same distance as a tank of gas…

It's not a crystal ball. It's called 'science'. :) I know that there are a lot of EV advocates that get really butt-hurt when they are confronted with the bitter realities of modern battery limitations. The emotional sadness and anger they fell does not change the science though.

M'eh - ultimately pointless. The problem with Electric Cars has nothing to do with patents, patent law, or anything that Musk has any ability to influence in any way.

As long as they make it AO or something then fine. But keep all the sex controversies out of games that are played by kids, thanks.

I misread, but your phrasing could have been better. Regardless, I very much like the model for TF2 as well. There is nothing in the game - absolutely nothing - that relates to the GAME that needs to be unlocked or bought. You don't have to grind for two seconds if you don't want to in order to play 100% of the…

Totally disagree. Team Fortress is one of the most fun shooters out there. The team-based aspect appeals to me, but it also rewards individual skill. If TF2 is 'worse' then other FtP games then I'd like to know what games you think are better. 99.9% of the FtP games I've seen are junk like Farmville, throttled…

Cool. Looks like they're going the "TF2" route where they will make their money with 100% optional 'stuff' you can use to customize your experience. That's a good approach. One of the best things about Unreal Tournament and UT2004 was the way they opened it up to user content. Some of my favorite stuff were custom…

Sigh. Folks - this is a game that kids are playing. Young. Children. This is not a place to drag your activist prejudices and desires to Force Social Change, Express My Adult Opinions, and Experiment With Sexual Preference. If that's what you want to do then there are plenty of Adult Only games where you can do…

Pht - go ahead as long as you make the game AO. Or if they want to make a special version only for Radical Progressive Adults Wanting To Make A Statement then that's fine too. But it's currently a game designed for general audiences - which includes young kids. That's not the place for the LGBT to shoehorn in its…

Pht - I couldn't care less about his tone. I care more about the absolute idiocy of Jones' arguments. He isn't making any good points in his rant. He comes across as a paranoid conspiracy theorist.
