They're probably evaluating them already. An ultra-cap does have some
advantages over the batteries.

They should be. It's the best thing I have seen in capacitors for quite
a while. At least someone knows what an ultra-cap is.


I don't know... Aren't those the same thing Dr. Emmett Brown was using in
1985?

Not FLUX capacitors.
Time storage in a bottle?


If I could save Time in a bottle
The first thing that Id like to do
Is to save every day
Til Eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

Don't take it personally, Bill... It's just a song ;-)

I know, the tune came up in my head. That was a good time for me when
that song came out.
Time flies when you aren't looking.

Iraq can't work. As soon as the US leaves, the civil war will heat

up
full time and continue until some group hostile to the US comes out

on
top. This is inevitable, unless the US maintains the occupation
indefinitely.


I think that is the US governmaents intent


That was unclear. Do you think the intent is to have a group hostile
to US interests come out on top, or to have a permanent occupation. I
can make a case for either.

The permanent occupation is a likely goal, because we are, after all,
building 14 permanent bases including the "US Embassy", actually one
huge base. This will give the US control of the oil.

However a hostile government is also a plus, depending on how one
defines US interests. If the interests are those of the average
American, this is a bad thing. But if you're talking about corporate
interests, then an enemy is great. After the collapse of the Soviet
Union, it was looking like we could actually get a reduction in
military spending, I think we were hoping for something called a
"peace dividend".

That, however, was a threat to the corporations that make their
obscene profits from the war industries; that's what Eisenhower was
referring to with his "military-industrial complex" speech. So, we
needed another enemy. They tried using Gadaffi but even they couldn't
blow him up into a real threat.

Of course, we managed to blow Iran into a huge threat now, so perhaps
we can just take Iraq and still have Iran as a boogyman. Yes, that's a
good plan. Something that Republicans and Democrats can agree on,
since they both feed off the GE-NBC-Etc corporate teat. Hmm, let's
see, yes, combining large "defense" industries with the dominant media
companies! What a great idea.


You hit the nail.........
