Thanks for the heads up. I was suspicious once I saw the spammy looking zetaclear page and decided to do some research. Glad I did. I will link your blog in a few popular places to help combat the zetaclear google bombing.

Oh yeah, and I’m flying to India Thursday… assuming all goes according to plan.

And the day I get back, I’ll be starting to teach my Arduino class at the Crucible.

Oh wow, the google has all kinds of references to the amazing feats of strength, do-goodery and strong cleft chin of SUPER COMMA!

What’s not to like? I’m thinking of starting a semicolon fan club!

Comment on Saw Avatar: Pretty awesome by Counsel

Counsel — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 05:20:01 +0000

I am sure the movie is good, but I look for new story lines more than rehashes. I won’t be seeing the new karate kid(why it isn’t Kung Fu kid as it is in China, I don’t know) even though I think Jackie Chan will do wonders to the myagi-type roll. Same story, different picture. Of course, I likely would enjoy avatar as I liked Ferngully. :)

Comment on Saw Avatar: Pretty awesome by lee

lee — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 22:37:40 +0000

Counsel, that’s a good analogy. When I was raving about The Matrix years ago, a friend told me “It’s simple. Guy figures out that life is a video game, he wins.” That took some of the wind out of my sails. :-) (I still love The Matrix anyway)

Ferngully on steroids ( computer graphics). I won’t be seeing it, but I’m glad others like it.

Comment on The Polar Ice Caps Are Not Disappearing by Will

Will — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 07:09:39 +0000

I looked at that article and noticed it did not contain the date that the images were recorded, nor did it state if it was a year average. They could have just left out the units and it would have the same meaning. If this is the best a satalite can do I am very dissapointed. I would also like to note, where is the data for the years in between?
Anyone else notice at the bottome of the article that 2 of the 3 lasers have failed, is this a measuring tool we should rely on?

Leroy, thanks for that Guardian link. I’ll have to look closer but that’s the first sciencey thing I’ve seen on polar ice thinning. It’s certainly worth looking into. I’ll be unavailable for a few weeks. I’ll look at it when I come back. Thanks!

Jessica, I love polars too.

i agree with Lee because this has everything to do with global warming because this has never happened before and nobody seems to care about the animals they only care about them selves. maybe if everybody started thinking about the animals then maybe they wouldent be in this situation, but no people are selfish and just dont give a flying fuck.

Thanks for taking a look. I figured as much though. I think I will try the tea-tree oil for a bit and see what happens.

After 5 minutes of Googling, it's pretty clear that Fungisil is a scam. I wrote a blog post on the subject. Read it.

Comment on Gun Ownership Decreases Homicide Rates by Scott

Scott — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 18:13:10 +0000

I see you’re all in the middle of an argument, but I have a little point to make:
The second amendment was passed so that if the government DID attempt to abuse us, the citizens would be armed enough to take on the military. That means that the people should have access to weapons as powerful as the military (I don’t think the founding fathers were expecting nukes so soon, though), so if we DO have a revolt, the people have a fighting chance. That logic means that there would be all kinds of super-weapons out there (RPGs, military grade grenades, miniguns, etc), so we would need a way to control those, so we don’t have people bring their pet grenade launcher to school. I suggest a “rating” system of how powerful the guns are, based not on firepower, but on how much damage a single clip/belt/whatever else you load these with would do. RPGs, tanks, and miniguns would be at 10, since the destructive power is so high, while something like a 9mm pistol would be closer to a 5 (This includes bows, tasers, and things like that. They’re more likely to be 1-5). Then, after the weapons are categorized, they’re taxed a certain amount times the rating they received. That would make the “extreme” end of the weapon-spectrum extremely expensive (but not unobtainable), so if a “crazy person” wanted to blow his cheating wife up with an anti-aircraft gun, it would put the biggest hole in his pockets he ever saw, causing him to rethink the whole thing. “Is it worth it? Kill someone I’ve known for years, go to jail, and lose all of my money?”

Here’s just one of many sources about the polar ice thinning. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2009/jul/08/arctic-ice-ocean. The link you provide uses data from NOAA–which organization agrees that climate change (warming) has a significant anthropogenic factor. Sorry, Lee. You’re wrong.

Worse comes to worse, I might buy a used main engine harness from http://www.car-part.com/. Looks like I can get one there for $200 instead of $700 new. Hmmm.

Comment on Discount on Mozy Online Backup by lee

lee — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 21:20:12 +0000

For the last few months, I’ve been using both Crashplan and Mozy.

I’ve seen that at each backup cycle, Mozy takes a long time to process the large number of files I have (50,000+, 130 gig). It’s a bit of a bother that my computer becomes sluggish for an hour. Crashplan appears to run smoother with this large number of files. I haven’t tried any large recover operations yet with Crashplan yet so I can’t vouch for it fully yet. Crashplan doesn’t have any discount or referral plans or I’d mention them here.

Both are good services.

Thanks Lee. I will check out the Nonyx Nail gel page etc. Too bad they are able to manipulate the search results. It seems almost criminal.

Comment on Review of 1550 Hyde Restaurant, San Francisco by lee

lee — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 18:55:43 +0000

From Bathes in Chocolate Milk:

The decor felt cheap but not chic. Many dishes were fairly bitter. A salad made entirely of arugula is neither interesting, nor terribly palatable-just bitter. They did honor substitutions! The kitchen forgot my gratin, when the very hot dish arrived, the insides were still fridge temperature-bummer. The pork schnitzel was decent and had a nice flavor. The cheese course was a tad overpriced for what it was. The creme de pot was smooth and fairly good. The coffee tasted burned, but I have that complaint with much Bay area coffee. The cream congealed suspiciously on top of the coffee. The walnut bread was very nice. Overall, the food was simply “OK.” I can do this better myself. I was kinda disappointed.

Ruddy, thanks for the comment.

The smog test computer code report said the problem was with the throttle sensor. The dealer replaced the throttle sensor and that didn’t fix it.

The car is a 1998 Chrysler Sebring JX, 6 cylinder 2.5 liter.

I’ll ask the mechanic if he checked the bits you mention: iac valve and the vacuum hoses, air filter, intake manifold hoses.

Ruddy, if it’s a bad wire in the harness, might a mechanic be able to find and replace the one bad wire in the electrical system for less than $1,800? That seems like an awful lot of money for a bundle of wires.

It's good that you found my site via search engine. For the last several months the Zeta clear company had successfully co opted the term "zetaclear scam" on Google. I fear those jerks made a lot of money with that move. I don't know anything about Fungisil. You should check the discussion on my Nonyx Nail Gel page and this one. Short form: there isn't a cure-all. I should write a post sometime distilling what's on those posts. Though it's rare I see anyone write about any product "it cured my toenail fungus". :-(

Hi Lee. Thanks for the review of zetaclear. I’ve had fungus on my big toes for a few years but recently have had it show up on one of my fingers. So I’ve been looking to do something about it. Thought I’d try some over-the-counter and natural stuff before going for the prescription drug. I was almost ready to buy the zetaclear when I decided to search for “zetaclear scam” and found your site. Thanks for the save dude. Do you have any advice on Fungisil? It seems to be almost as popular as zetaclear. Is it a scam too? I am going to try tea tree oil first, but I would still like your opinion on fungisil.

Hi, if your check engine lite comes on your mechanic has to retrieve the code to review the circuit of that component and only then change the part is broken.

check the iac valve and the vacuum hoses, air filter , intake manifold hoses.

send me a mail if it doesnt work, by the way whath car is it?

I’ve been doing well writing a daily list of things to do on a small sheet of paper. As the day goes by, I cross off the items. Make the todo items manageable. Since only a few fit on a small sheet of paper, it’s doable. and feels good to throw away the crossed off sheets.
