Would this new nanotech product (http://www.nanopool.eu/couk/index.htm) be a good protective coating for keycaps??

No. It's clearly made by Das.

You mean like theatre and theater; and centre and center?
Blame the French.

Color, Colour. Nucular, Nuclear. Tomato, TomAHto.

Nucular, Nuclear.
This is flat-out unacceptable. "Nucular" is not a word. Niether is "Jewlery." I hate that one, too.

Nucular is not a word? I learned all my English from bad tv shows.
That's 2 out of 2 for nucular. Must be correct.
-
I used to spell it "nucular".
-
That was a transposition error.

There's nothing wrong with pronouncing it "nucular", unless you're Barack Obama.

Sure there is. Do you see a second "u" before the "l" in "Nuclear?" Hell, there aren't even two Ls in the word.

Here in Canada, while watching State of the Union broadcasts and similar, it was always fun to gather 'round the TV and laugh at George W. Bush's incompetence with language.

Public speaking is Barack Obama's strong point. He may be a bad president, but he definitely is an excellent public speaker.
George Bush, on the other hand, was a much better president, but always got his words mixed up. Just send your cash to put food on their families.

Obama is good at both, while Bush was bad at both.
Complete opposites.

Don't get me started in another political argument.

Doesn't matter how much is spent...what matters is what it's spent on, and for the first time in years the US (willingly or not) is investing in its own good.

It in fact does matter how much is spent. If current spending trends continue, my children and grandchildren will be paying for excessive spending during the late Bush and Obama administrations, from bills created by crooked Democratic legislators that make the corrupt Republicans they succeeded look good.
It's a good thing that health-care thing bit the dust though. That would by no means be investing in the general good of America.
The stimulus packages have had a good effect on many things at the local level, such as a new fleet of buses in Hartford, CT and a new bridge in another town. However, these bills were thrown through Congress with lobbyists and lawyers adding on little bits, resulting in my money being spent towards numerous pet projects which do not benefit the general public; $246 million tax break for Hollywood movie producers to buy motion picture film, $75 million for smoking cessation activities, $25 million for tribal alcohol and substance abuse reduction, $6 billion to turn federal buildings into “green” buildings, $100 million for reducing the hazard of lead-based paint just to name a few porkers*. That bill could have been trimmed down a lot.
But, of course, many of those legislators and politicians we've got in there are passing bills thousands of pages long without even reading them. The Bible, a book covering over a millenium of history and much more, is far shorter than some of these bills. And Obama is campaigning for their passage.

Obama's Admin is the little bit of red above the horizontal black line. Can you see it? I'm sure glad Republicans care so much about the debt when a Democrat is in office.
Lies, damn lies, and statistics.
