Is there life outside our solar system ?

The amount of solar panels needed will depend on the intensity of the sunlight received as does the efficiency. Solar energy is said to be a lot cleaner than energy collected from coal, oil or nuclear energy sources, because there are no pollutants released into the air. Through technological advances which are displayed in Earth 4 Energys instructions and information guide, these solar power systems have become attainable to the common man since the price has decreased steadily. It also has become a possibility for us to produce enough solar energy to actually sell the extra amounts back to the power companies, to make a substantial profit.
What government needs to do is back off the money. This will make companies have to look at alternative and innovative solutions. They will have to improve their product to a price point that people will accept. I mean, they have the easiest tag line any company could ask for. No sensible person wants to actively pollute the environment, but money talks, and so we agree to use coal power in exchange for the cheaper price. In the long run, our government is just loving us all.

Hence the reason I had it plated.  You don’t want to fire a plated weapon, you’ll just damage it.  Though, it is built to knock low flying planes out of the sky. :P

Anyway, I have an M1911A if I want self defense.  That or my darrenger would be okay too (built to sting, not kill).

Well, then we would have to come up with something bigger to “acquire” then the PS3… :wink:

BTW, console wise, I think nothing touches the PS3…

I was born at an early age.  I think my sign was “room 224”.  ba-da cha!

I was born March 4/73 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada to two loving and caring parents (mother and father for some of you).  I grew up in a Christian home as well, went to church, went to church-camp, and i was on a Christian TV program for 6 years.  I was baptized when i was 16 years old.  I am technically a Christian, and i attend church and give them money from time to time (and i’m a big believer in the Mennonite Central Committee), but i guess that i’m still searching for truth (admittedly, i’m pretty lazy w.r.t. this as i’m quite busy in other respects and tired most of the time).
I graduated (w/ honors), got my B.Sc. in Chemistry (i focussed on advanced organic and biochemistries).  I then did an M.Sc. in Biochemistry and molecular biology and published 6 papers (including my thesis).  
I quickly got bored with this life, and looked for something with a little more fun in the job description.  I then became a “territory manager” for a pharmaceutical company.  I did well here (the quarter before i left i got the highest bonus out of around 300 reps) and was in a fast track to a management position.
Still i found the job to be very easy and although i enjoyed it, something was missing.  If i had a bad day, it was because one of my key clients didn’t have enough time for me - not because anything actually BAD had happened.  If i had a good day, it was because my numbers came out and showed me to be growing my business well and both me and my masters were becoming wealthier.
After one of my clients - a physician - banned me from his office for not giving him presents (it was against the rules, even tho’ several companies were doing it anyway) and changed his patients from my product to that of my competitors, i got quite angry.  I figured - fuck him - i’ll go into medicine, and be a better doctor than he is.  The fact is, i was being told from all over that i should go into medicine  I thought that here would be my chance to make a difference in people’s lives, to do something challenging and to be involved in people’s lives at a very real and personal level (i also thought that this would be a handy way to escape work in the salt-mines for when the aliens from Grargrotha IV invade us as they would want someone to keep their slaves happy . . . but i didn’t tell this to the interview board).
So i studied medicine for 4 years, then i did a 2 year family medicine residency with an interest in emergency medicine.  Currently i work in 2 ER’s, 1 urgent care center, and i have my own patients in my private practice.  
I love to travel - for 4 years i made it a practice to go somewhere and hang out for a month.  Last year it was Vancouver (i was with my then-g/f and working in the Vancouver General ER) and also Australia (i understand that it was a cold winter that year in winnipeg . . . :)).  The year before i travelled about Cuba for a month.  Before that was Belize.  I also spent around 6 weeks in Portugal with a girl i was dating - long story.  I’ve been to Mexico (several times) Brazil, Barbados, Holland (my uncle was a diplomat there) and Germany as well as all over the US (Phoenix, Boulder, Moab Utah, D.C., Seattle, Minneapolis, ND, SD, Miami, Tampa and Atlanta) as well as from sea to shining sea here in Canada.
I love women - i’ve dated over 50, but i’m down to one right now.  She’s beautiful, brings me supper when i’m working late in the ER, keeps my house clean, and her son does yard work for me (he’s 14, and a good kid).  
My political views are mixed - as most people can tell.  Particularly since my father recently secured the nomination for the Liberal party for the riding of Charleswood/St. James/Assiniboia and Headingly (around 80 000 people live here).  If he wins the next federal election, then he will be their Member of Parliament (traditionally a tight race) - http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2306058560&ref=mf
I’m sure there is more, but lately my life has been work-sleep-work-sleep.

Last thing first…
Obviously I am a split in my views on those points, but with a slight imbalance to “Peace” (but my “War” points are the most strongly held…)

Main topic…
That is a “so called” life? 
Profesional career with diverse specific pursuits within the field; travel, new experiences; continuing education…
I call that a LIFE.

@F_alk:

i could have sworn that half of what F_alk said came directly from Stephen Hawkings’s “A Brief History of Time”

I don’t hope so. If so, then it didn’t happen on purpose (and i have to change my view on the book, as i didn’t like it that much).

i read the book again last night, well skimmed it is a better term (dont really feel like reading it again, i think we both kind of agree on its quality) while skimming through it i found similarites, but nothing to get my imaginary underwear in a bunch.

i will say i like the topic ,i have always liked gravity, here on earth it is basically the only constant.

Pac Gas Light, and a home developer based in LA want to build 2450 new solar homes that will feature top line energy efficiency technologies built into each.

The reason it is up for vote is that the only land they found for this project was set aside as open space.  Environmental groups want to preserve that space and the endangered species living there.  Other suburban planners are concerned that urban sprawl and traffic jams will result.

Good points, but what if you applied it to abortion as we have applied other parts or added ammendments for blacks, hmm?
