How it moves I can't figure it out.. :/

Geothermal is ideal for providing base-load power

Not in Ohio.

We don't have any suitably active geothermal sites.

Apparently geothermal is viable enough that it is an option for new schools to use.

We also don't have a high enough average wind speed for wind power.

It looks like Ohio has the wind capacity to supply 20% of its needs.

If we cut out the crime aspect of drugs, we'd save a TON of money in tax dollars each year supporting DEA, and the overcrowded prison system. We could concentrate a small portion of that money to help programs for addicts. Heck, like liquor...why not tax legal pot sales?

I understand your point but this is nto necessarily the case. Check out gambling for instance, it comes into a state and generates a ton of revenu, however over the long term it costs more to regulate the crime from the fallout of the newly found gambling habits than the tax dollar increase. There is a lot of information on this subject, google it.

Remember prohibition on alcohol in the US? It prompted the rise of the gangs/mafia. Once it was over, well, I certainly don't see many people doing gangland violence over booze these days. Alcohol is just a drug like the others currently banned.

Well now either you are new to the debate or just ignorant, I will assume the former. While some of the drugs have similar or lesser effects, many have much much more dire consequences on society. Some would argue that we would be better off with Marijuana being legal and banning alcohol due to the high non-user mortality rate caused by alcoholism. see stats here: http://tinyurl.com/yrsmrk

Long story short, you have to judge each drug and its side effects one by one. Now if there was just an independent agency to decide and educate the public...

Don't get me wrong, I hate the over regulation of pretty much every single asset in this country but there are a lot of aspects where the gov't is in the right to regulate, and just as many where they are wrong. I tend to personally draw the line between things that are self destructive and things that infringe on my wellbeing and the wellbeing of the people I am responsible for.

BTW this is the standard response to any pro/anti drug regulation debate.

...would be Steve Krug's Don't Make Me Think. While specifically focused on web design, the book introduces some helpful concepts that are fairly universal for UI design. I also second (or third or fourth by now) anything by Tufte - genius stuff (and he'll be the first to tell you that), and very thought-provoking.

Et voilà - the next time you click the tinyurl, you'll be able to check were you're actually heading. It's not that difficult, is it? It also protects you from shock sites, at least in the case of a notorious full address of the site.

(Maybe a checker could be integrated into Slashdot itself - it takes but a single HTTP connection to tinyurl.com to fetch the full address and you could cache it locally and instead of [tinyurl.com] display something like [myminicity.com @ tinyurl.com] next to the link. But you can check it yourself right now, no excuses!)

There is a hack just been released to delete annoying minicities - go here, enter the name of the minicity and select the delete option. This should put a stop to the spamming for a while.

Real Simple has a great list of holiday organization tips, including this one which tackles the problem of Christmas lights.

His fantasy of pretending he's Data while playing poker with somebody in a Whorf costume? Or was it his hope to resell the visor for a ton more movney on eBay once it was signed by Spiner?

Actually it was LaForge who wore the visor, and Levar Burton who played him.

Nice to see that the comments thread on OOXML is shrinking as the debate matures. Of course that means that the usual trolls are either bored or on holidays but I think that we may collectively be starting to better understand what's going on.

I attended the UNSW Cyberlaw centre forum on OOXML http://www.cyberlawcentre.org/2007/ooxml/ as an interested observer and I liked what I saw. Smart people engaged in a positive discussion. Yes, the viewpoints were polar, but the words were civil and a real exchange of ideas took place.

Pia Waugh was an organiser of the event and had this to say about it: http://tinyurl.com/32zfsr

Letdowns are fairly common. DNF, anyone?

This is not the first time that this issue has occured.
I found some interesting reading on this site

That would be one way, but that places the burden on the wrong entity.

To be fair, all these URL shortening sites need to implement a feature like TinyURL's preview feature, since they are the enabler of these acts of spamming. Until they do, I am blocking all these URL shortening services (which is a snap with Privoxy).

This year's democrat-controlled Congress

Jon Stewart: Remember 2006? The Democrats take it. The president is going to make a speech, sort of an olive branch speech. In it, he uses the phrase "the Democrat controlled congress." It's a real poke in the side. That seems unnecessary, and would only be used if you were exhibiting... What was the word I used earlier?

Tony Snow: blah blah blah

Jon Stewart: This is fascinating, what you're doing right now.What I said is, "Why did he use that phrase?" That word is an emotionally loaded word, that he is aware of. These guys are -- everything is a focus group within an inch of their lives. The phrasing that they use is repetitive and rigid.

Tony Snow: blah blah blah
