That's nothing. What about the ads we get in Blow Me Down and Come by Chance.

Re:Circular
Excuse me, but how can ocean plankton be the largest consumers of CO2 in the atmosphere ?
With the exception of those animicules that die, dropping a calcium carbonate shell to the ocean floor what happens to plankton blooms? Don't they get eaten, metabolized, and turned back into CO2? Or, if they don't get eaten, don't they poison the water, rot anaerbically, producing CO2 and CH4?
With the exception of animicules that leave a calcium carbonate shell, can ocean animicules be regarded as long term carbon sinks?
Temperature is absolutely not the limiting factor on the growth of plankton. Nutrients are the limiting factor. The areas which are most productive of bio-mass, the rich fishing grounds, are places where cold currents, full of nutrients, meet warm currents, full of oxygen, like the Grand Banks.

Re:I Have Comcast
AT&T came in and suddenly my calls went to Newfoundland -- not even on the same continent!
I was going to say with education like that you would have to be from Georgia. Newfoundland is very much on the same continent as Virginia. -
Thanks for the links(from Newfoundland to Ireland). Their plan, using GPS, onboard controllers, and a gallon of gas, would have been the first to cross the Atlantic under FAI rules. They didn't have much luck last year, but now they're at it again. The first launch should be tonight."
You know you're reading Slashdot when "GPS" and "FAI" are assumed to require less background info than "Newfoundland".

The actual celebration is in Newfoundland, CanadaI live in St. John's, Newfoundland, and the commemoration of Dec 12 1901 is an annual event here.
The provincial government has an official site for the 100th celebrations. The local section of the IEEE is also involved in organizing the celebrations.
Here are some more websites relating to the celebrations:
- A little history of the annual commemorations of the first transatlantic wireless transmission. The very bottom of the page has information on recent years.
Dr. Zedel taught me Ocean Acoustics last semester... - The Instrumentation, Control and Automation lab on the floor below me is organizing a radio-building contest for high-school students.
- The Italian site already linked elsewhere in the comments.
By the way, despite being way out in the Atlantic ocean, Newfoundland is a beautiful province and a wonderful place to get away if you like the outdoors, hiking, game hunting, sport fishing, whale-watching, and lots of other things. - A little history of the annual commemorations of the first transatlantic wireless transmission.
