its on a winch, so it can be pulled in during big storms.

the 1kW residential version is also only $2,000.

Wow, smart. The only downfall would be storm systems ripping it from the sky like some 10 million dollar kite. Still, pretty reasonable little thing.

Thanks a lot for the info!
Interesting stuff.

In reply to this comment by GeeSussFreeK:
The main advantage is that Java script runs as an application in each browser tab. Normally, a browser and all its tabs will freeze for any java application. So, if you have some intense java application on one tab, and it locks up or is running slow, it also locks the other browsing tab sessions. With chrome, each tab is its own application block, so if one process freezes up or is just otherwise slow, the other tabs are relatively unaffected.

Java is evil, but it isn't going anywhere. Chrome was developed with those of us in mind that have moved into a world of AJAX everywhere. I work from home mostly, and the applications I have to run are mainly java variants. The ability to run multiple java apps without fear of one locking up and losing all my applications at once is a real nice thing. That said, Google is abusing their "don't be evil" philosophy with this move I think. Only time will tell, but there are some signs of Google getting into some areas best left to others.

That said, I still run firefox for recreational browsing. Its extensions are really useful.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand what benefit there is in switching from firefox to chrome. Regardless of this video.

I got the 3rd part of the human brain thingy posted now. Don't know if you were planing on it, but I thought I should sift it right away as I can't stand things not being complete.

I love it but then I have a soft spot for post-apocalyptic settings. The thing I like the best about the Stalker series is that it's a living world where things happen whether you're there or not, even in other maps. This is why tasks sometimes cancel themselves: the NPCs go about their business, it's not just an act for you to witness. Nothing is scripted.

Shooters are way too linear and if that's all you're used to (like Yahtzee seems to be) then it'll be interpreted negatively. So you fail a task here and there: the earth will still spin, I guarantee it.

And yeah, it's a tough game...the Russian developers are not about spoon-feeding anything to anybody, much less spoiled Americans. hehe.

There are bugs, no doubt, and the devs probably should have taken another month to playtest the thing. They're good about releasing prompt patches.

I'd recommend it but only if you have a good, stable PC.

I completely agree with you - man creates all of these problems. Religion is one of the tools which man uses to shape cultures and ideaologies around the world.

This leaves us with incompatible religions which are all incompatible with modern rationalism, leaving us with conflict between all the world cultures.

Religion is responsible for a much wider change in a believer's perception of reality than a simple following of the teachings of Jesus/Mohammed/Buddha. It is an ideaology which creates boundaries with other conflicting ideaologies.

The irony is that Jesus/Mohammed/Buddha and every other great thinker of the last 3000 years has been preaching the dissolving of boundaries and hierarchy.

The felt presence of a higher reality or an inner intent to all of nature is at the heart of ancient religion and shamanism. This is not what modern religion is. What modern religion is needs to be finished with.

Thanks for your comment

In reply to this comment by GeeSussFreeK:
Hitler was an atheist, Stalin was an atheist. Martin Luther King was a Christian. The problem isn't religion, the problem is man (imo). In other words, if god isn't real, then there is only man. And then that makes religion a man made institute. Thus, its man that is the problem, not religion. Depends on what you mean by religion as well. If you are saying that following Christ's rule of the golden rule, do onto others as you would have them do onto you is a bad thing that causes evil I would have to say what is good then? If you are saying that men corrupt the heart of what that religious body stands for and then uses his power to distort all that he has influence over, then yes, I would agree that is a problem. But the problem still lays with man at that point, not religion.

I don't mean to be adversarial or anything, just trying to stress a point.

But on the topic of the video, I don't agree with his sentements that the only good trooper is a Christian one, lots of people of different faiths and non-faiths have died for this country.

Religion is one of the most powerful recruting tools available to the US military.


Why else could it be that they so badly want to have creationism taught in schools?
Why else could it be that Commander in Chief must be a christian?
Why else is it that the illegal invasion of Iraq is seeping with religious overtones?

9/11 was a huge message to the world that the problem of religion really must be addressed.

I'm not so sure they're liberal edged, they take Obama to task pretty hard at times, though they do somewhat buy into the "neocons are crazy warmongers" thing, but IMO that's just the truth.

The guy they're interviewing for this series on US/Russia relations is actually from the American Conservative magazine, which sounds like a funny name for a liberal rag to me. They say he's one of their big donors, too.

TRN is entirely funded by donations, BTW.

Ahh thanks. They seem to always have kinda a liberal edge, and im more a libritarian. But I remembering watching an interview on BBC and liked the idea of it being non-big business funded. Makes me wonder where they money is coming from though.

Perhaps reinstall Firefox or do a system restore back to when it was working. Or try the open source version of word, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenOffice.org

Also, if you keep your comments shorter and more to the point, there's a greater chance people will get through the whole thing
