Green

:?: When is Vericut going GREEN? Fox is green, and so is Home Depot. You know all that processor speed to run Vericut is not good for the environment. That requires high end video cards and faster CPUs, which create much more heat and adds to global warming.
    This of course is tongue-in-cheek for my disdain with the Green bandwagon. Yes, we need to be wary of what we do, but I don't think if you have a hybrid SUV and floor it when the light turns green was the original concept.
     Fossil fuels are not going to last forever, and the powers that be know that. Gasoline will be $4.00 a gallon for the proletarian masses by Memorial Day and will get stair-stepped back to $3.25 before elections so we're all happy.
    Congress pussyfoots around with the Oil lobbyists, threatening to take away their tax incentives. Then the lobbyists then say they'll have no money for R&D if you take away their tax incentives.
     :idea: I expect the oil companies to make money, but I also expect them to pay the same tax rates that I do. There have been 60 MPG carburetors since the 50's, all stashed in a warehouse in Dearborn. There has been fuel cells available to go camping with for years.
   :!:  We, the masses, will continue to pay for their greed until we learn to live otherwise. I will hopefully live long enough to see the impending healthcare/resource/insurance revolution. Until then I just hope to live indoors with running water.

Re: Green

Green is a relative term, unless we refer to the color.  Hard to quantify... reminds me of buzz-words like "paradigm".  Who doesn't like clean water though?  We should all try to be environmentally responsible.

Just for fun, how about a product for machine simulation made of paper?  We could call our invention PAPERCUT.   8)
