According to these studies, a new coal fired power plant will release between 1.96 (PLC) and 2.09 (DOE) pounds of CO2 per kilowatt hour of operation. For our report, we assume that any given coal-fired power plant will emit 2 pounds of CO2 per kilowatt hour.
A power plant with a one megawatt (1,000 kilowatts) name plate capacity will produce the equivalent of 8,760,000 kilowatt hours annually at full operation -- that is, 8,760 hours multiplied by 1,000. At this rate, such a plant would emit an estimated 17,520,000 pounds, which is the equivalent of 8,760 short tons or 7,947 metric tons of CO2.

so these devices will suck up about 1.5 months worth of C02 emissions at a miniscule amount of the energy. awesome.
"requiring less than 100 kilowatt-hours of electricity per tonne of carbon dioxide" how many kilowatt hours does it take to produce a tonne of carbon dioxide using a gas / oil / coal powerplant?
can anyone remember when this was true? Certainly not in my lifetime... the IOC seems to be run by bigger arse hats than the RIAA... at least the RIAA haven't started trademarking phrases in lyrics... yet.
are you serious?!?
there are SOOO many better media players for linux than realplayer. Totem, MPlayer, VLC, noatun, amarok, xmms just to name a few. Realplayer was good back in version 7... but back then there wasn't much else... nowadays there are so many better choices.
the only people caps hurt are those 3% or less that are causing bandwidth slowdown for the other 97% of the populace. I'm in Aus, and while this may sound like a broken record, I find that I can easily get by with about 60gb/month. And I download several tv shows and have torrents pretty much constantly running. What the american ISPs also need to do however is set up better intranets in the major american cities, prioritise local traffic and make that traffic not contribute towards the cap. They could even do it on a per-state basis rather than cities, much like telecoms do when charging for national / local calls. you don't expect to have unlimited phone calls / unlimited electricity / unlimited water / unlimited fuel for a set fee, so why expect unlimited internet access?
...which is why this product will only sell to idiots. anyone who has ever heard of google will search for "DVD Copy" and find a plethora of freeware/OSS apps that will either backup your full dvd, compress it to single layer dvd or convert it to some other codec. That said, I'm all for what real networks is trying to prove in the courtroom... but I'd never use their flavour of product.
here in Perth we have WAIX (Western Australian Internet Exchange) and any traffic on that network is free because it's basically one big LAN throughout our city. Very useful when grabbing linux distros or updating them as you'll never have a slowed connection. there used to be huge file sharing networks that were WAIX specific (eMule and DC++) but the ISPs frowned on that and put a stop to it... if this statement is wrong, please, somebody send me the details of the new WAIX P2P:)
Never, ever under any circumstances should you comment your code. If other people can understand your code then you are easily replaced.

string result = s1 + s3 + " " + s2 + s4[0] + " as much as you " s4[3] + s4[1] + " " + s4[2]
I occasionaly pirate stuff... but i would never pay money for what I pirate anyway. so they haven't lost a cent from me. -IF- I like something enough i'll pay for it, but that's a pretty big if. I'd much rather go to a concert and support an artist that way than pay them 30c and the record companies $20-30
what the hell does blu-ray offer that DVD doesn't? oh a super high resolution that MOST people won't notice on their old CRT Television sets and only few would actually notice on their Hi-Def TVs. DVD for me thanks.
...because every manager I've ever had has read slashdot... actually come to think of it I've never seen a manager read anything, which is why we always need to present information in charts with plenty of pretty pictures.
unless your product is targeted at such a small subset of users that noone in the OSS world would bother to create a competing product there will always be some geek out there willing to dedicate all their spare time to create something that will compete with your product... for free. What proprietry vendors need to do is charging for software as a service and provide support packages that the OSS world don't bother to do.
it's entirely legal if it's in your own home with your parents permission.
a photo doesn't generally reveal anything about the context of the situation... unless of course there are a bunch of 12yos doing keg stands in the background.
sorry, my bad. nissan.com in fact was registered in 1994. but his (owner of nissan.com) other facets of business bore the nissan name long before that, and just because they are a big corporation does not give them the right to nissan.com, when he registered it first, using a name that he'd been trading with since before the nissan-datsun switch.
just look at nissan.com it existed long before datsun switch names, yet the car manufacturer is still litigating to take away a guy, whose last name is Nissan's website...
On the whole funding terrorism angle... if you pay taxes in the USA you are funding terrorism. Where were the "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq? so even if pirating funds terrorism, which is the lesser of two evils?

the applications name is actually spelled "fsck" not "fuck".
