The only people who should buy Monster cable are people who light cigars with Benjamins. Fortunately for Monster, there are plenty of those people. They're not even suckers, they are just rich as hell, and want the best. This testing did not prove that Monster is not the best. It just proved that the best is, for the most part, unnecessary.

I like the Belkin PureAV line myself.

Most of us tend to think of time the way Newton did: "Absolute, true and mathematical time… flows equably, without regard to anything external." But as Einstein proved, time is part of the fabric of the universe… something that's independent of the universe. In fact, says Lloyd, clocks don't really measure time at all.

Time is a byproduct of society. To ensure that everyone behave like sheep, simply put everyone on the same time-table.

I found it quite interesting that I was able to spot the fake stuff using completely different criteria as they did. Most of their results explanations were based on typos, I was just using plain logic. I didn't even look that close.

Widespread adoption of plug-in cars always raises questions about the reliability of the electrical grid and an incident earlier this week in San Francisco does nothing to quell those concerns.

Even though I'm a fan of electric vehicles, like the Tesla, there is no doubt in my mind that if they were to ever become mainstream we'd swap dependencies from foreign oil to the power grid. In turn power companies would undoubtedly jack up the kw/h pricing, taking us right back to where we started.

There is one advantage to electricity, though. It is easy (albeit neither efficient nor cheap) to generate your own using solar panels or the such.

A Memphis-bound plane was recalled to Sea-Tac Airport on Wednesday afternoon after a man in the terminal claimed there was a bomb onboard.
Port of Seattle police said the man missed his flight with a group of people and hoped to delay it to get onboard.

Moron.

The results are in from the great "Man vs. Machine" computer poker showdown in Vancouver, with the humans coming out on top by a narrow margin. But the main result of the exercise was mutual respect, on the part of the computer programmers as well as the poker pros.

Must be a better program than Vista's Hold 'Em.
