wow - Jason Calacanis

Bigger wow that Alex is from Vienna, VA. Didn't know that. Should get a beer with him some time. - Aaron Brazell

This was so much fun to see. Should I upload my stint on "Win Ben Stein's Money" to YouTube, I wonder? - Lon Harris via twhirl

Definitely. - Vincent X

What a riot. How many episodes of this show are there? I've never heard of it. - Paul Griswold

"This movie was like Lucas and Spielberg got together and decided to make a movie that was LIKE an Indy movie, but not actually try very hard. The entire alien plot is way outside the realm of the first 3 movies - those all dealt with spiritual realms of fantasy. Bringing in Area51 and the whole alien plot just wrecked it for me. Had they gone with a plot where the crystal skull had some sort of archaeological significance and then added in a spiritual/fantasy element to it, the film would have fit right in with the other 3. But this was just Indy meets Close Encounters. Additionally, there were so many simply poorly written elements - the thing is "magnetic" but only to certain things at certain times (which just so happen to fit that particular moment of the plot). Indy has always had moments of "that's totally impossible, but I'm going to let it go because it's a movie" but they always were at least barely plausible. This one had moments where it was just plain silly - swinging with..." - Paul Griswold

It was entertaining, but I was disappointed to see them go SO over-the-top. Also, the movie was filled with too many winks and nods to the first 3 movies to seemingly appease the fanboys. Including Indy looking longingly at the picture of his dead father that looked like it was taken the day before shooting began. Too much. It was also disturbing to see Karen Allen smiling so much in the movie no matter what the situation. You could tell she was really happy to be in such a big movie. - Vince DeGeorge

"Yeah, you're exactly right. That's why India, China, Africa, etc. would all be exempt from the Kyoto protocol. China and India are some of the biggest polluters on the world with terrible human rights records and working conditions for the poorest members of their societies." - Paul Griswold

Leo, it looks nice but what do you have for cooling? With lights, that's gonna be quite a hot studio! - Paul Griswold

interesting. How is this better than say DropBox? - Paul Griswold

"Dr. Russ Humphreys reported on the measurements of helium diffusing (leaking) out of zircon crystals. The helium is produced by radioactive decay, but over time it can leak out of the crystals. If the zircons were billions of years, there should be very little helium left since it would have had plenty of time to diffuse away, yet there is still a tremendous amount of helium in the zircons—consistent with an age of about 6,000 years. The current amount of helium in the zircons, and the measured rate of helium diffusion show that a lot of radioactive decay has happened (to produce so much helium) and that it must have happened quickly in the recent past (otherwise the helium would have had time to escape). Dr. John Baumgardner reported on the detection of 14C in coal and in diamonds. Since 14C is a short-lived radioisotope, it cannot survive for millions of years. This is compelling evidence that these diamonds and coal deposits are thousands of years old at most. In particular, the..." - Paul Griswold
