Wind power vs. Pickens
To understand wind power, look at the wind map of the United States. Wind turbines aren't useful unless the average wind speed is in the 8 m/sec range and up. Note the huge high-wind area from the Texas panhandle up to Canada. That's where Pickens wanted to operate. Good place for wind turbines, but no nearby place that needs the power. So some long transmission lines were needed. The problem is not that "regulators" wouldn't let Pickens build transmission lines. It's that he wanted governments to pay for them. See Pickens' testimony before Congress. He wanted eminent domain powers and tax credits for high-tension lines. Back in 2009, though, he couldn't raise the $2 billion needed to build them.
Those wind charts come in much finer detail. Look at the California wind map. There are four really good wind areas in California, and they all have large wind farms operating. There's room for further expansion out at Mojave, but the other three sites are essentially full. Those are all successful operations, because they're reasonably near big loads.
Also, the Pickens claim that collecting wind power over a large area would provide significant base load capacity may be bogus. See the live data for the PJM grid. (This brings up a big Flash application showing what the power grid for the Northeastern US is doing. Switch one of the panels to "Wind Power" and set the scale to "All Data".) Within a 3-day period, total wind power for the entire Northeast US can range over an 8 to 1 range. That's from real, operating wind farms.

The Google cache of the app page disagrees with you.
In case you can't catch it before the description collapses:

Internet democracy requires funds to stay strong. By purchasing the Wikileaks app, you donate 1 dollar of the purchase price towards organizations that work to promote the future of online democracy.

Re:You thought the GOP/TP represented regular peop
That the Bush Tax Cuts combined with massive military spending (two wars) and massive unpaid-for entitlement expansion (Medicare Part D) are the reason we've got such a huge deficit, and national debt, right?
The Democrat controlled Congress just extended those exact same tax cuts you're complaining about. And the cost of the wars is dwarfed by entitlement expenses (but no one ever seems to take Mandatory Spending into account when talking about expenses).
Reagan TRIPLED the debt. Bush I doubled it. Bush II doubled it again. After Clinton, we were looking at surplusses as far as the eye could see,
Terrible comparisons that ignores all factors except "who controls the presidency." You ignore not only who is controlling the other branches of office, but also the general state of the economy (boom/bust/etc) that is generally unrelated to government. As you can see from this chart: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:cGw2iu1drOQJ:uspolitics.about.com/od/usgovernment/l/bl_party_division_2.htm+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a and this chart https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/File:US_Federal_Debt_as_Percent_of_GDP_by_President.png):
1950 -> 1980: Deficit decrease under 3 Republican presidents and 3 Democrat presidents. In all of these situations, we had a mixed congress (most of the time two-thirds Dem).
1981 -> 1987: Deficit increase. Republicans control presidency + two-thirds congress
1987 -> 1993: Deficit increase. Republicans control presidency. Dems control two-thirds congress
1993 -> 2001: Deficit decrease. Democrats controls presidency. Republicans control two-thirds congress
2001 -> 2005: Deficit increase. Republicans control presidency + two-thirds congress
2007 -> 2009: Deficit increase. Republicans control presidency. Dems control two-thirds congress
2009 -> current: Deficit increase. Democrat full control. This is also the largest deficit increase ever.And that often-cited meme that Obama "trippled the deficit"?
I don't know what the exact number is, but it's the largest ever: http://money.cnn.com/2010/12/20/news/economy/total_stimulus_cost/index.htm
I might add that TARP, although proposed by Bush, was very heavily voted against by Republicans in Congress -- it only passed due to a substantial majority of Democrat voting. AND it has pretty much been 100% paid back and then some (unlike Obama's stimulus).The biggest lie ever told (and bought by too many people) is that Republicans are in any way financially conservative or fiscally responsible.
No, the biggest lie ever told is that either party is fiscally responsible when they control all branches of government. The second biggest lie is that the actions of literally a handful of presidents in office somehow define an entire party or its agenda, with full ignorance of any other aspect of the political or economic circumstances.
At least when Democrats spend money, Americans benefit
So Americans are benefitting from the 1+ Trillion we spend annually on Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid? From what I've head, no one has any retirement money and our healthcare here is pisspoor. AND we're damn near bankrupt because of it. And I dare you to show me how "war spending" in any way equals 1 Trillio

Some formatting is lost; try the text-only version from the google cache toolbar and copying into an editor (or otherwise removing the bright-green-ness of the text).
This is probably the most complete account of events, tied together with at least one side of the full story.
The debt in the millions was the operating costs of a failed business he was part owner of (not in itself illegal, unless you incur the debt deliberately); and he was not the cause of the business failing (in his own words). I didn't find any evidence of him being charged with wrongdoing over the operation of that business (brief google search)
He wasn't hiding overseas - he was never told to stay in the country, and informed the head of the FBIs investigation where he would be living, and who he would be working for. He never tried to change his identity.
Faulkner, who was a part owner of Premier Voice before selling it about a year ago, acknowledges that Premier owed money to AT&T at one time — though he says he’s not certain it was for interconnection. He says that debt was assumed by the new owner when he sold the company. Either way, he says, this would be categorized as corporate debt, not fraud.
"There’s a big difference between stealing money and owing money," he says.

Re:What is the point
Because right or wrong, there are a large amount of people who wont play a computer game because its too "nerd like". This is when marketing execs see golden opportunity. Not only will you get most of the fans of the game to see it at least once, you'll probably get the people who wouldn't have touched a game with a barge poll.
In my mind respect is only one part of the equation worth exploring. Understanding of the game becomes another. Mass Effect may have been about shooting Geth, driving the Mako and using biotics but there was an underlying theme of good versus evil within the character. Perhaps not even versus, both Paragon and Renegade are a part of Shepard, problem is you can't introduce choice into a film and therefore can't communicate it as well as you can in a game. Another issue is whether you have Shepard as a man or a woman. Jennifer Hale was by far the better voice actor and I would find a real female lead a far more interesting story than another bland bloke. The fact that she was a woman wasn't exploited for sexual purposes in ME, it just so happened she was a woman. But you know that wouldn't be how hollywood would do it.
The article says that judging by the IMDB page, its set during the first contact war, so they wouldn't be having to ruin everyones Shepard on them if they did make the film.

Statement from Director of Prosecution, Ms. Marianne Ny
Today British Police have arrested Mr. Assange. Director of Prosecution Ms. Marianne Ny has issued the European arrest warrant, due to which the arrest was executed. The arrest warrant is based on an order for arrest and detention by the Svea Court of Appeal.
Marianne Ny states:
- Apart from the arrest, nothing new has happened in the investigation, but the arrest is a prerequisite for continuing the investigation. I cannot give information on the next step, as the matter at the moment is handled by British authorities.The prosecutor emphasizes that this matter exclusively concerns Mr. Assange as a private person.
- I would like to clarify that there have by no means been any political pressure on my decision making. I act as a prosecutor due to suspicions of sexual crimes in Sweden in August. Swedish prosecutors are completely independent in their decision making, says Ms. Ny.

Re:Don't pick just one
I know people who take the same approach to natural language. After all, Spanish and Italian are very very similar, aren't they? The reality with natural languages is that "all languages are the same" thinking enables you to abuse several cultures without actually understanding any of them.
Having seen a fluent southern brazilian portuguese speaker effectively navigate the baja peninsula, I know you're overstating your case. Sure, if you only know one romance language, you'll have vast gaps in your knowledge of another. If you're fluent in one, though, and particularly if you understand its mechanics well on a descriptive/meta level, you can pick up another one much more quickly than if you're learning one for the first time. And in some cases, fluent speakers of one can understand and be understood by speakers of another.
Even if this weren't the case, your objection would have a big problem: programming languages are orders of magnitude more compact and less complex than natural languages. There is, quite simply, a lot less to learn.
And I think that to a large extent the same thing goes for programming languages. For example, if one of your "paradigms" is "object-oriented", does learning Smalltalk really prepare you for making best use of OO in Java or C++? Or vice versa? The inventor of Smalltalk and OO certainly doesn't think so.
SmallTalk would absolutely prepare you to work in Java or C++ in some ways. Maybe not as well as it'd prepare you to work in Ruby or Objective C. Perhaps not as well as C# might prepare you. Definitely better than Pascal would. Paradigms might be a bit more fine grained than "object-oriented", but that doesn't mean that working in one language and (more importantly) understanding the descripting mechanics of it won't dramatically help you with another.
I spent some time a while back trying to explain Scala to a Java programmer. His response was "It's just like Java." Well, Scala *is* just like Java, as long as you ignore the huge and central features that are not like Java. When I started to show him those features, generally in a "replace a page of code with one line" sense, his response was "I don't like it", and that was the end of the conversation. That, in practice, is what "learn 7 languages in 7 weeks" looks like.
No, it's what dislike of the unfamiliar and intellectual incuriosity looks like. The GP posited someone who knew a few paradigms, not someone who didn't like learning new things.
If you want to understand what "learn 7 languages in 7 weeks" looks like, consider part of Daniel Friedman's The Role of the Study of Programming Languagesin the Education of a Programmer ([original postscript] [Google HTML]):
"When I was just starting out in computer science in the Spring of 1964,one of my goals as an undergraduate was to learn at least one new language per semester.

"But database names like "globalops" and "livechat" inspires no confidence at all. Imagine if this hacker didn't deface the site, but made a script that silently reads and forwards information out of those databases to the highest bidder..."
Yeah, I mean, imagine the fortunes he could amass by selling details that were publicly available on their site as part of the site's information on their current global operations:
Or if he sold out talks by Royal Navy personnel stored as recruitment propaganda on the site! -
Oh wait, you mean you thought there was more to those databases than that? No, it really is just a "look at my cat!" website I'm afraid, other than a few technical details and accounts and passwords of the website maintainers the only vulnerability is defacement. I'd say that's not too bad a job by the RN myself, sure the SQL injection attack is a fuck up but clearly they have sensible security measures and policies in place such that if an internet facing site is compromised, then that's all that is compromised- the public facing information and little else.
There's nothing smart or special about what the kid did or accessed. It was just another run of the mill SQL injection attack which can be carried out by anyone with a basic understanding of SQL and maybe a scripting language to assist. The only news is that people are still writing code vulnerable to this sort of attack, but if we assume that even only 5% of software developers are incompetent (which is an unrealistically low figure), then that means even if each website only has one developer that that's 1 in 20 sites that are going to end up vulnerable in some way or another, if the teams are bigger, it'll probably be more common than 1 in 20 so it's not even really news.
It's really just another story about a script kiddie boosting his ego by doing something that's been done a thousand times before, and requires only a moderate level of technical competence to achieve. Honestly, in cases like this it's not that there aren't millions of other people who could trivially do what this kid did, it's just most people realise the possible penalty- jail time, extradition, that sort of thing, just isn't worth the ego boost. For some kids who aren't too bright though like this kid, it apparently is. Hopefully some jail time will bring him back down to Earth.

MDDS appears to be far more than the London Stock Exchange's InfoLect system, which was only apparently a "trade data dissemination" system ONLY, whereas MDDS? Read the above... NASDAQ moved from Tandem Mainframes (used to be Compaq, & now is HP).
The NASDAQ overall system is a composite of proprietary & commodity systems (MS stuff is noted above) & it's called "SuperMontage" (makes sense, a montage is a sort of collage). I never ONCE said it was "ALL MS" stuff, though YOU tried to stuff those words in my mouth and YOU KNOW IT (and you were unable to produce me EVER saying that also).
The same deal is probably prevalent at most all stock exchanges really I'd wager (a mixture of tools).

The NASDAQ overall system is a composite of proprietary & commodity systems (MS stuff is noted above) & it's called "SuperMontage" (makes sense, a montage is a sort of collage). I never ONCE said it was "ALL MS" stuff, though YOU tried to stuff those words in my mouth and YOU KNOW IT (and you were unable to produce me EVER saying that also).
The same deal is probably prevalent at most all stock exchanges really I'd wager (a mixture of tools).
Oh, & again - There IS the fact that NASDAQ manages to keep a Microsoft-based system going and LSE?? FAILED... this only again supports my 2nd posting that teams that architect, code, and maintain systems like these matter MORE than the OS or DB's used apparently, look at the results here in comparison of NASDAQ & LSE!
I ought to know by the way - this IS what I have been doing professionally for 16++ yrs. now in fact, writing or co-writing, & maintaining "Mission-Critical/Enterprise-Class" information systems... apk
So, in the end here? Well - It appears you LOSE on all fronts, even your "last stand" here, boy... eat your words!

My Wife's NORCS
All I can say is that my wife's NORCS [sic] are definitely a source of some economic power, and the envy of some (me, in particular) for their reserves of natural resources.

Re:Riiiight
Look at it this way: If they'd meant to do it, they would have done a better job. They wouldn't have grabbed data from a moving vehicle, because they're not going to be in range of any single AP long enough to get anything coherent. They would have targeted somebody or something. They would have logged specific data; probably something they could sell to their advertisers. This all would have come up in the third-party review of the data. It didn't.
Google intended to build a WiFi map. They were intentionally logging every AP, signal strength, encryption status, etc that they came across. The code that they reused from a previous project was responsible for logging the traffic data. They were not "borrowing" bandwidth as you do. Furthermore, you have almost definitely "accidentally" logged data. You're on a Mac, right? Go check out
After reading through the third party audit, it looks like this is the case. Raw data frames were logged (but not interpreted) because a boolean in a config file was set to it's default value of false instead of true. Maybe you're right. Maybe Google is violating your privacy for the hell of it. I just can't imagine why they'd log the data that they did, without any apparent way to profit of it.

Better than original article!!!
I couldn't find it either, but it may not even be in the online version, that website is very hard to search and the English search wasn't even working when I tried. It could even be some paper-only editorial or something. However, I did find this gem of an article:
Handsome man invented the world's first pieces of "anti-fart underwear" to filter cocky
According to Taiwan's "News Today" reports, you have a sphincter to blame, which led in public could not help you live "discouraged" embarrassing experience? Colorado man Buck - Weimer invented the world's first "anti-fart underwear", which has the function of filtering cocky, wear it even if the non-stop farting, people will not smell the next. -
I submitted the article;
I got the details about the landlord being prosecuted from here: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:4m7ouHfb-GwJ:findarticles.com/p/news-articles/people-the-london-uk/mi_8046/is_20100919/revolting-behaviour/ai_n55280555/+derek+brown+Haresh+Parmar&cd=6&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk
I figured that a Google cache link wasn't quite worthy of being linked in the submission so I just included some details from that article.
There is nothing online with much detail about how exactly the connections were made or how the end users/landlords were charged for them (eg one-off payment for connection to free juice, or some kind of billing) other than a police spokesman saying "OMG dangerous" which they can be relied upon to say about anything.

Nutrition trumps drugs every time
That's just one study, not an established medical fact. It does give cause for concern and merits more research but doesn't prove anything yet.
"Medical Facts", eh? Science works with theories, and they are constantly evolving.
You keep taking those drugs, and I'll stick to what the research says: proper nutrition is essential for human health. There are other factors for depression too, but I think we both agree that depression is NOT caused by a dietary deficiency of "prozac".
True Hope's doing some research on their supplement. I think they make a pursuasive argument for the utility of addressing nutritional deficiencies in this video.
Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw read all the journals: I'll trust what they say over Pfizer-sposored research every day of the week. The link (to the google cache, original link disappeared this week?) has a succinct biography on these two:
Pearson and Shaw have been studying life extension since 1968. They are largely self-educated. Pearson graduated from MIT with a triple major in physics, biology, and psychology, and Shaw graduated from UCLA with a double-major in chemistry and zoology. However, most of their knowledge comes from consuming scientific and medical journals with a voracious appetite, talking with colleagues, and experimenting on themselves. In this manner, they have become two of the most well-informed people on the planet regarding the biochemical mechanisms of aging, and they continue to study it full- time. Pearson and Shaw then apply this knowledge in designing nutritional supplement formulations for their own use...
Here's a passage which covers deperssion specifically... It comes after the vignette about how the FDA is enemy #1 of a scientific approach to health. Like I said, this is 'sacred cow' territory (whoever modded your comment up?), so don't read if you're a true believer in the pharmaceutical-based approach to health:
Sandy:
Durk: For example, a friend of ours, his mother had very severe cardiac arrhythmias. She would have about half a dozen attacks a day, even though she was taking multiple prescription drugs to help prevent the cardiac arrhythmias. She wasn’t expected to live a year.
We said, continue with the prescription drugs, but add the cold water fish oil, a couple grams a day of EPA plus DHA, plus about four grams a day of taurine, which is a natural nutrient that stabilizes electrically-active tissues against excessive stimulation.
Sandy: Like the heart, the brain, and the eyes, for example.
Durk: She’s now down to having an arrhythmic episode about once every six months, instead of half a dozen times a day, and is doing just fine.
Sandy: But that’s just a case that we know about. This information is in the literature. It’s been in peer-reviewed, scientific publications, that people who have a high risk of arrhythmia can be treated with fish oils, and the fish oil is actually safer than the anti-arrhythmic drugs that people are being treated with these days. Believe it or not, if you don’t get exactly the right dose, if there’s a little bit too much, they can cause arrhythmias.
Durk: We have a lawsuit against the FDA concerning this. There is a dietary supplement called SAM-e, S-adenosylmet

They refused not to protect their customers...
..but to protect their bottom line.
Sending out 10,000 notices every day incurs operational charges to the ISP and they used the loophole in the law to make a point. It went to court, and they won. They were awarded 65centimes (about 0.9 USD) for every notice they send out:

Seems like the lite version of the above. Mb they track mentions of backs, holidays, wealth, private banks names ect?
Then go searching for the more useful emails they never would have found in the wild?
It would also help with any CC location block. -

Re:In the meantime, we in the USA...
I have no definitive answer other than my own experiences but it is my understand that FRA regulates pretty much everything on a system that interconnects with the national system, unless the operating authority (usually a freight railroad) cedes authority to the local jurisdiction. It used to be that local jurisdictions could create "quiet zones" but that authority was yanked by Congress a few years ago. FTA or local operating authority regulate captive systems.
Some examples that back me up:
- " Speed limits are established by FRA. The City has no authority over train speeds
- "The Federal Railroad Administration regulates train speed based on the condition of tracks and the type of train."
- "The Federal Railroad Administration sets rules and regulates the speed of trains. The city does not have any control."
- This appellate court decision covers the issue of a state trying to regulate rail activity. The court ruled that Federal regs pre-empted the state regs.
- " [I]t is our opinion that local legislation that imposes speed restrictions on trains is preempted by the Federal Railway Safety Authorization Act of 1994"
- " Speed limits are established by FRA. The City has no authority over train speeds

Ruperts Head Explodes
An Australian University named after Rupert Murdochs grandfather Walter is "developing algorithms to simulate 'free thinking' " - am I day dreaming???! If they train them on Murdochs Fox News and Wall St Journal - then it is a clear case of crap in - crap out.
To be fair to the University or at least some of it's lecturers, they are not at all pleased with the state of Newspaper "Journalism" either. Even going as far as wanting to renaming themselves to "Walter Murdoch Uni" to distance themselves from that black sheep of the family Rupert.
