Warren, I just subscribed. You've got to be the coolest president ever. Force fields rock. I want light sabers! tag:www.asocialcontract.com,2010-08-30:3524897 cramsey 2010-08-31T05:53:11Z 2010-08-31T05:53:11Z Depending on the application, I suppose there are pros and cons.<br /> <br /> It makes you wonder if we will soon see a new exception to the 4th amendment. Specifically, some modification to plain view doctrine. tag:www.asocialcontract.com,2010-08-21:3464829 Warren Adelman 2010-08-22T05:14:30Z 2010-08-22T05:14:30Z I hope we persist. <img src="http://asocialcontract.com/emoticons/smile.png" border="0" /> <div>Thank for the post.</div> <div>Warren</div> tag:www.asocialcontract.com,2010-08-16:3435692 Rick Braddy http://www.WinningWare.com 2010-08-16T21:49:49Z 2010-08-16T21:49:49Z Yeah, who doesn't love the idea of forcefields?<br /> <br /> I recently read an article talking about how progress is also being made using "plasma". These are ostensibly used to absorb radio frequencies (stealthiness) and block the use of energy weapons (ie Laser, Phaser and Ion Ray Gun).<br /> <br /> Just as we've seen the advent of so many high-tech inventions that we used to watch on cartoons as a kid (for me, it was the Jetsons then Star Trek et al), those of us who persist a few more decades will likely see many more, including hand-held phasers, force fields and perhaps even visible light cloaking.<br /> <br /> It's a Great time to be alive! tag:www.asocialcontract.com,2010-07-02:3281837 Ken Schuller 2010-07-02T16:46:37Z 2010-07-02T16:46:37Z Schwartz was a real eye-opener for me. My best friend gave me a copy as a gift years ago after a long discussion between us about UX. tag:www.asocialcontract.com,2010-05-26:3143619 Michelle Breedlove Sells http://www.dempsterfamilyfoundation.org 2010-05-27T00:59:31Z 2010-05-27T00:59:31Z Whoever's outside it! tag:www.asocialcontract.com,2010-05-25:3139093 Warren Adelman 2010-05-26T01:13:27Z 2010-05-26T01:13:27Z Im discovering there are a lot of Ayn Rand fans out there. <img src="http://asocialcontract.com/emoticons/smile.png" border="0" /> Thanks for the suggestions. And, as the sticker on my office door asks, Who is John Galt? <div>Warren</div> tag:www.asocialcontract.com,2010-05-25:3139088 Warren Adelman 2010-05-26T01:12:02Z 2010-05-26T01:12:02Z I'll check out his new book. Thanks for the heads up and the post. <div>Warren</div> tag:www.asocialcontract.com,2010-05-25:3137728 Bill Brown http://bbrown.info/ 2010-05-25T16:59:55Z 2010-05-25T16:59:55Z As far as Ayn Rand goes, I would suggest you dive into her non-fiction like Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal or The Virtue of Selfishness. They develop and amplify the themes and ideas found in Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead. Her defense of capitalism as a moral system is quite unique in history--most defenders laud its practical, utilitarian benefits while conceding the moral high ground to statism. tag:www.asocialcontract.com,2010-05-25:3136933 Andrew Allemann http://www.dnw.com 2010-05-25T12:55:50Z 2010-05-25T12:55:50Z Glad you enjoyed The Paradox of Choice.<br /><br />Incidentally, Ariely's new book "The Upside of Irrationality" comes out next week.
