I thought it was interesting and plausible because of all the posts it recieved on youtube validating that it worked. they could all be lying, but it seemed a ovewhelming consensus that got it to work, no posts for people who didn't get it to work. the main thing people said was that it only ,asted like 5 minutes, longer for lcd screens.

I'm interested to know how a 110V device gets sufficient power from a 1.5V battery.

Because that would EVER work. Ugh. I mean, MAYBE if they actually showed the power cord going into the tv, they might have had a chance an convincing someone.

that was funny

.. . A careful examination of alternatives is precisely what the chlorine industry seeks to avoid. Their primary strategy has been to bog down the debate in interpretations of the toxicological evidence -- the "dueling risk assessments" strategy invented long ago by the tobacco industry.

The main front group for this strategy has been Elizabeth Whelan's American Council on Science and Health (ACSH). ACSH receives 76% of its funding from industry sources, including Exxon, the largest phthalate manufacturer in the world.[1]

ACSH hired Dr. C. Everett Koop, Ronald Reagan's Surgeon General, to spearhead ACSH's "blue ribbon" panel of 17 "experts," most of whom have ties to the chemical industry, examining PVC safety. Koop and ACSH concluded that vinyl toys and medical devices are not harmful.

In its extensive critique of Koop's study, Health Care Without Harm pointed out that ACSH only weighed the risks and benefits of medical products made flexible with DEHP (a toxic phthalate --see REHW #661), while ignoring the available alternatives --cost-competitive nonPVC products that are perfectly good substitutes. For instance, Koop said, "removing the phthalate [from the PVC product] would actually pose a significant health risk to individuals who depend on these devices [IV bags]." Koop ignored the fact that an FDA-approved phthalate-free IV bag produced by McGaw already has about 20% of the IV bag market.[2]

Damn, I never knew PVC was actually toxic at a stand still, but it makes sense.

I'm not gonna let this video change my opinion on PVC at the moment, but I will say that it's gonna get me to do some research and see what these 'toxins' are all about.

Good find.

Ha ! nothing will save that piece of crap !

i came by your post way of ANTs profile message board. wow that's some really cool video footage. I really like your use of macro. one drop of water is enough for a week with one of those tiny ANTs.

I sincerely hope that this gets up-sifted, not so people can watch and believe it word for word, but rather so that they can be intrigued and go out and research it for themselves.

We need to ask more questions.

i thought the same thing. then i thouight....

Hey MGR would you be able to send me the VideoSift logo that you use for Team Fortress 2 ?

thx in advance

you are so lucky. my system is right below the minimum. but I'm glad Valve is so sensitive to customers with older computers as all of the orange box games run great on my system

Are you fucking kidding men, Irishman!?!?! HL2Ep2 was great! And Bioshock.. ZOMG!

I downloaded Crysis last night, and playing it is orgasmic.
Helps to run the game on full settings, though. Mmm.. That's why I love my graphics card... GeForce 8800 GTS FTW!

i liked your post Confessions of an Economic Hit Man - John Perkins
have you read his book ?

thank you so much for taking the time to research that and contribute such a quality post

nib, lucky for me they've got a fair amount of that PIG book available for free on Google books so I just took a quick look at it before I head to bed.

One of the things that stood out was a group of pie charts which shows carbon dioxide among a few other greenhouse gases. It's not a greenhouse gas if it has zero effect on global temperature.

The book was apparently written by a lawyer, Christopher Horner, who is a recognized expert on "global warming legislation and regulation". That's something, but he's no climatologist. Chapter 1 is dedicated to calling environmentalists "anti-American communists". The first paragraph was really all I needed to read to understand that this book has no value to me.

It's endorsed by Richard Lindzen, who is a climatologist and has worked in related fields as well. His position seems to be similar to what I said in my initial post; that the temperature is rising but we're not entirely sure why yet. He's been criticized for taking payment of $2500/day from oil/coal companies for consulting services. He's been funded and/or supported by Western Fuels and OPEC.

The book is also endorsed by a few senators, and nobody believes anything they say so I think we can just ignore that.

The following organizations have taken the stance that global warming is at least partially due to human activity:

The aforementioned IPCC
The National Science Academies of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the UK and the US
The US National Research Council
The American Meteorological Society
The American Geophysical Union
The American Institute of Physics
The American Astronomical Society
The Federal Climate Change Science Program
The American Association for the Advancement of Science
The Geological Society of London
The Geological Society of America
The American Chemical Society
The Institution of Engineers Australia
The American Association of State Climatologists
The American Association of Petroleum Geologists

The American Association of State Climatologists, by the way, is made up of state climatologists, assistant climatologists under the state climatologist and retired climatologists. They state a membership count of "approximately 150". That's 70 more than you claim exist in the country.

this is so fucked up.
