What we need to do is unplug invasive legislators like this guy. He has no clue. There are good reasons to use an incandescent light, such as in a chicken coop where you want the heat. Additionally there are major problems with disposal of the toxic florescent bulbs. The government should not make laws, merely suggestions.

Water From Wind

· Score: 1
The water has to come from somewhere so these windmills will be drying out the atmosphere. Will it be enough to affect climate? Will you turn into a prune? Will your neighbors? Arida, arida......Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink...

No matter how you slice it Section 220 was badly written and an abridgment of our freedom of speech. I understand what they might have been attempting, if we give them the benefit of the doubt, but killing off the astroturfing can be done without killing the grassroots. Section 220 did it all wrong and I'm glad Amendment 20 killed it. I am ashamed of my Vermont Senators for voting Naye on it. Bad boys.
The loss of freedoms is being brought to you by BOTH the Republicans and the Democrats. We need a regime change in a most desperate sort of way. Both parties are in the pockets of big business who wants to capture all of your dollars. REAL ID and NAIS are too other examples. If you don't know about them, learn about them and stop them.

I haven't bothered to upgrade any Microsoft software since 2001. I didn't like that upgrade as it is. There are only so many bells and whistles you need in a spreadsheet or wordprocessor.
The iPhone per-say isn't all that exciting. What is exciting is I see Apple going in the direction of producing a handheld computer in the near future that runs the MacOSX. That is what I'm waiting for. If it has a phone in it, hopefully with VOIP and Cell, fine, but that isn't what I'm looking for. I want an iPal, one hand held gizmo that does my music, video, applications (all I have on my desktop/powerbook), gps, camera, calendar, contacts, backup auto sync, etc. I don't want to be carrying more objects around. Oh, and it needs to be real world rugged.
Hmm... My Captcha below is visors - my palm is a Handspring Visor Deluxe. Coincidences like that make for conspiracies...:)
City? Down the road? I'm in Vermont. There are no cities in Vermont. The highest density populated area is Burlington with less than 40,000 people and they have ready access to local produce, meat and other healthy foods. May it ever remain that way.
I have visited a city. I would rather not repeat that experience.
However, even for city dwellers there is the option of buying locally produced raw foods from veggies to pasture raised meats. I hear they have something called a health food store and many city dwellers even have 'auto-mo-biles' that they can use to exit to the real world to make purchases. They may even find they don't want to go back to the city.
This is much like the inkjet ink and toner cartridge problem. Almost all the toners are actually the same or extremely close and compatible. But the manufacturers keep brining out new models of cartridges for new models of printers so that they can sell the razor blades. Incompatibility drives up the prices, and even the costs, for everyone. It is dumb marketing, not good business.

It is wonderful how they are figuring out to do things the wrong way like making it so they can feed cows to cows without fears of the cows on either end being mad.
One might wonder what potential effects there may be hidden down the road from knocking out the at gene. There may be garbage in the DNA, but there are also a lot of important pairs and scientists don't really understand the ramifications of playing with them. I'm all for technology, I enjoy the internet, but I'm not going to be their guinea pig.
Of course, this won't help with preserving genetic diversity and heritage breeds, bio-diversity, issues with mono-culturing, plagues, etc. What it will do is give some company the ability to own the genetics of cattle so that farmers have to pay the corporation every time we breed an animal much like is being done with plant genetics.
If the corp is smart they'll copyright the genes instead of patenting them since that monopoly lasts longer. Or they can just screw around with the patent system more to extend the patents to forever minus a day.
Me, I'll continue to breed my own livestock, grown clown-free, sans-genetic modifications and raised on pasture. I would suggest consumers get to know their local farmers who can be a source of high quality foods as well as keeping dollars in the local economy.

Yes, this really isn't a big issue and it will probably go away. I love the way Sony recently got hacked off at the ankles over this issue...

What, no Macintosh version? Boooring.
