    @techsmith2: I measure green in swatchbook numbers; my favorite is PMS 361, a bright and untinted shade.

    If there's a defined measurement of "green" then either it will be purely a marketing term that means nothing or it will be set as a standard by someone like Greenpeace in which it will be a moving standard that is unachievable by anyone who sells more units than "their share" so that Greenpeace gets someone to take publicity snipes at like they do Apple.

    @Lite: is on a boat.: It pretty much already is a marketing term.. just like organic.. well eff organic i'm only eating silicon based food from here on in.. in the old-fashioned non- biodegradable Styrofoam containers! And when I'm done suckin' down those grease ball burgers I'm gonna wipe my mouth on the American flag and then toss the Styrofoam containers right out the side, and there ain't a God-damned thing anybody can do about it. You know why?

    Nonsense. Objective standards are easy to judge and report. For example, contrast ratio of LCD TVs is a standard by which...oh, wait. OK, OK, how about brightness in lumens of video projectors, that's an easily defined numb...ah, shit. Hold on. Alright, I've got it, how about speed of computers in GHz, surely there's a baseline standard to compa



    Ah, fuck it.

    @Skeetz: do YOU know why?"because weve got the bombs, thats why

    2 words, nuclear fucking weapons, OK?

    Russia, Germany, Romania, they can have all the democracy they want

    They can have a big democracy cakewalk

    Right through the middle of Tiananmen Square

    and it wont make a lick of difference

    Because weve got the bombs, OK?

    John Wayne's not dead, hes frozen, and as soon as we find a cure for cancer

    Were gonna thaw out the duke and hes gonna be pretty pissed off

    You know why,

    Have you ever taken a cold shower, well multiply that by 15 million times

    Thats how pissed off the dukes gonna be!

    I'm gonna get the Duke, and John Cassavetes,

    and Lee Marvin, and Sam Peckinpah, and a case of whiskey,

    and drive down to Texas and say..."



    oh... and dont forget about the baby seal eyes for headlights.

    @Preyfar: No that won't work, that's how we measure the Internet. Right now it's at about 23.7 million Al Gore's, so it's 23.7 million times the Internet Al Gore created.

    I like them. Bamboo is such a great material in terms of looks and strength and is a very renewable resource.

    And, yes, you are a terrible person.


    FWIW, I have not had the news on in days, but your comment tipped me off, so I googled. Wow. Huge, deadly fires near Sydney. Hundreds dead. And they are pretty sure it is arson. Just, wow.

    The problem with a lot of flash drives is an exposed plug or a cap that comes off too easily. I have one in a nice leather case with a covered plug since it lives life on the edge of destruction floating around in my purse.
