A video doesn't hold much content, when you need to know about the subject to the extent that you could predict the outcome of the test without watching the video. Nothing was shown in this that wasn't obviously clear from knowing a bit about the subject.

This is not a reliable or practical solution, as it requires force for it to have a positive affect and not all things on the road considering a pothole a hazard move fast or have the weight to generate the downward force required. i.e bicycles, slow moving cars in traffic jams, drunk people. This would only work in a few specific situations like highways from my understanding.. to which as mxxcon hit the nail on the head, asphalt is clearly more effective in a wider range of situations.

Spoco2 is spot on with given comments and the only impressive thing i saw was that the mat actually stayed there, well done mat. Well done.

I'm up-voting because BoneRemake's first comment made me laugh.. Pot-kettle-black.
(and because the mat stayed there)

Edit: also i enjoyed the article, learned a few things, cheers.

The amount of free light and solar heating that you get through windows is massively outweighed by the energy you lose through the windows, unless the outside is only slightly below room temperature, or their insulation is way above the standard of double-pane windows found in ordinary houses. When it's warmer that "free solar heating" is working against your AC.

Clear plastic doesn't interfere with your ability to look out a window. Neither does having a smaller window. You're probably looking at a computer or TV so much of the time that it doesn't matter. You could actually *go* outside instead of just looking. I don't know about you, but I don't get claustrophobic just because I can't see the sky or some trees for a few hours. If this stuff were actually done it could reduce residential electricity consumption by three fourths. That's well worth the sacrifice of not being able to see trees 24/7 except when you actually go outside.

LEDs are adequate unless you have cataracts or a strange aesthetic desire for extreme brightness at nighttime. I have one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Mighty-Bright-XtraFlex2-Kindle-Version/dp/B000TXZIDM
If you set it on "Low" and shine it at a wall, the reflection of it is still plenty for reading a book. If you're concerned about lighting, put up some mirrors so you get more free light through your small windows.

Imstellar -- Just raise the price of fossil fuels / pollution / environmental destruction through taxing those things, and then the market will figure out how to get the best of both worlds.

Also, you're still using a computer aren't you? Pot kettle black?

Having thought about it for a little while and checking out your previous comments, I think we can do without your childishness and stupidity on this site.

Correct. We are defending someone's right to be who they want to be without being attacked by ignorant others. You are trying to defend your own right to attack others. That's not how it works. Freedom of expression does not cover your right to attack others based on xenophobia. You are not allowed to shout racist abuse at people in the street and say "FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION!"

Welcome to planet earth, learn the rules.

Pot...Kettle...Black?

Btw, can anyone answer me this, is there no one who vets these ads? I mean, could a candidate just make stuff up and be answerable to no-one? I ask because, often something being untrue, just is not enough, once its out there the damage is done....

OMG! The *hypocrisy!

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Idiot.

*kids

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Thats all I need to say...

I call pot kettle black on your comment. Scott Adams covered this issue quite succinctly, IMHO.
