I think the system monitors energy use, analysis it, displays the results and comes up with possible solutions to the problem. Something like a central computer brain that regulates the energy/heat usage of your house.

I see so the markets only started to crash after Obama became president. Both the Democrats and Republicans(and DCI) killed Hagel's Fannie Mae bill. Neither Democrats or Republicans have ever reduced deficit spending. In fact in the last 40 years almost every president has double the national debt.
Like the money printed for TARP and the Auto bailouts?

Soile Lautsi isn't muslim, she is Finnish/Italian who wanted her children to have a secular education, so I fail to see why what Muslims do in thier countries is in any why relevant to this story. Unless of course Muslim countries are some sort of benchmark by which all countries should aspire to be like.

Majority rules has never been absoulte, that why most democracies have some clauses related to tyranny of the majority. Having religulous symbols in a secular school isn't right and as long as they're consistent in banning all religulous symbols, I don't see anything wrong with it. The state shouldn't be seen favouring any one religion. Besides the cross borderlines on idolatry.

The people have shown Obama and the Democrats they are unhappy with the way things are by electing people from the Republican party. The Republican party has only ever shown that they are almost equally as bad when it comes leadership, are just as clueless when it comes to fiscal management and are just as political. A shame really.

What could the POTUS have done on the subterfuge of night when watching the dead being loaded of a plane? Pick his nose, spit, turn into the undead? I am sorry but I can't see there being anything Nefarious that the president could have done, well being surround by soldiers even in the middle of the night.

I don't think it's trolling, can't speak for American soldiers but the Canadian soldiers that died in Afghanistan sadly seemed to have died for no reason at all. The Afghanistan government is corrupted, the democratic process(I.E. elections) is a shame and the government still voted in Sharia law. It's truely sad that gave their lives to fight for what the beleive in, when the people they were fighting for don't really seem to care all that much.

So if the POTUS is coming to meet the plane with the fallen soldiers on it, they should delay the flight with the fallen soldiers on board, completely break with tradition and change the flight schedules of all the airplanes in the area for the whole day. All so the POTUS can visit when the sun is up and more media can arrive to take more of the same type of pictures? Is it that anything done at night is some how less respectful?

You want a flight filled with the fallen soldiers to be delayed, so more of the media can be there?
Democrat or Republican president, soldiers are just doing what their ordered to do and honouring the dead should be free of politics.

Unfortunately there is not much you can as coyotes are scavengers, so you can't play dead and they're to fast to bear mace. That is the risk you take when hiking alone, poor girl.

egonosensei - I always love a good wacky conspiracy theories and the one you posted is as wacky as it gets.
I like this part the best;
The computer that controls your home’s thermostat and lights also controls your wardrobe, budget, social habits, and even your eating habits.
The 'smart' grid is so smart it can control your daily routines.
Dave I don't think you should wear that tie, it doesn't match with your shirt. Dave you can't wear those socks. Dave don't spend anymore then $20 tonight.

If Obama is actually taking time to formulate a proper plan for the future of the Afghanistan war, then good on him, it's a set in the right direction. If he is just stalling then another campaign promise bits the dust.

I am not sure what the big deal is here? He's employed, he obviously does alot training(he's pysically healthy), his obsession with Anime is probably not healthy, and if he wants to dress like a girl then so be it. I can think of a lot worse things that he could be doing. He's not even the frist althete to do drag, Dennis Rodman was notorious for going out in drag.
As for the effeminate thing in Japan, it would seem that Japan is slightly ahead of the trend. Rail thin bodies, skinny/girl jeans and longish hair and general looking androgynous seems to becoming the trend among the younger generation.

I wonder if they played the rubber ducky song, just before the prisoners were waterboarded?
Rubber Duckie, you're the one, you make bathtime lots of fun.

Meh, I've seen windows crash, I've seen macs crash and I've seen a unix user crash. If the biggest beef you have in life is the name of a O/S, then are you really living a fulfilling life? A simple sentence or a paragraph or two like; "Naming Windows 7, Windows 7 was stupid" would have been good enough.
If Windows 7 is returning to a more NT based platform then good for them, NT was probable the closest thing they had to a stable platform. Personally I've always used a dual boot with windows and red hat. I have nothing against Mac's other then I equate them to Starbucks coffee.

Wouldn't you rather have Obama listen to people who previously made the right choices in the battle field, instead of someone who blundered the initial invasion? Obama repeated Bush's bailouts and stimulus spending which didn't turn out well, so he should be weary of repeating other mistakes.

Ironic statement, considering that one of the biggest criticisms of Cheney and Bush's treatment of the Afganistan and Iraq wars was thier failure to have a big enough invading force to be effective early on in the war. The lack of troop levels was also a noted reason for the failure to catch Osama early on in the invasion before he escaped to Pakistan.
What did the war in Afganistan gain, an apparently fraudulently democratically elected government that voted to allow Sharia Law which defines a women's role as "readiness for sex and not leaving the house without the husband's permission" to part of the law of the land. A huge leap forward in Afghan human rights.

This is the reason Japan tolerates having Yakuza, organized crime by it's very name is somewhat predictable. Arrest the heads of the organized crime outfits and you get dis-organized crime and situations like Rio.

Roundly condemned by those who disagree with their given cause. All the terrorist organizations above had thier supporters, with thier justifications.
Less murders doesn't make any of them less of a terrorist. At any rate;
Narco-terrorist in Mexico alone, killed 5,612 people in 2008, making Mexico more dangerous then Iraq. http://www.strategypage.com/qnd/mexico/articles/20081215.aspx
Lord's Resistance Army and thier "Christian Soldiers" last Christmas day killed at least 620 and kidnapped 160 children. Over the last decade they have kidnapped 25,000 child and at the height of their rebellion were directly responsible for 127 deaths a day and using HIV/AIDS as a weapon. http://www.scribd.com/doc/5262745/Uganda-The-question-is-Why
I believe that the Lord's Resistance Army and thier "Christian Soldiers" are completely comparable to Al Qaeda and thier "Jihad soldiers".
