Yes... greenhouse gasses like soot, mercury, and ozone?
I think you missed the concern about all the stuff that just gets spewed into the atmosphere there. Here, we have to [expensively] scrub our stacks.
We just moved our cheap manufactured goods center "elsewhere" and are now worried that the pollution isn't contained out of sight. It might come back over here! The horror! The GOODS are supposed to come here. The REPERCUSSIONS are supposed to stay there.
Actually, just having ONE complete implementation would sink OOXML, as MS Office doesn't even follow the standard as it was passed.
That's right, there isn't a single office suite capable of reading/writing the ISO standard.

I don't know that this company is actually abusing patent law. It seems like they have an actual invention (a type of keyboard + software that makes it easier to type in "weird" characters). The article even clearly points out that they have a product with this feature they sell.
Is that a patent troll? Doesn't sound like it.
I'm not sure about their choice of targets or especially their heavyhanded response to a charity organization though. I can only see this gaining them significant negative publicity and potentially torpedoing a good project.

Um... it is replaceable.
The article even mentions it comes with a spare battery (for 3 hours playback time).

And that's why you're not an economist.
Looks like he took that idea to heart. willyhill, willeyhill... thank goodness members have numbers by their names.

He's complaining about his distro's packages... not KDE itself. Most distros all the kde apps into 5-6 big packages. Not really KDE's fault, is it?

Woosh.

You would be correct!
The USDA uses Melwood heavily. They're [mostly] good folks.

Good work correcting him unnecessarily.
And it's roll.
Damn, this new mod system doesn't allow for goofs like overshooting from Funny to Overrated.
Strange, I thought this was common practice.
You are also responsible for clearing snow from the walk in front of your house within a reasonable time or being fined.
The most interesting artifact visible in that video: all the chintzy paper 3D glasses sitting around.

One problem: A bucket of random-sized bolts is incredibly useful.
Seriously.

I do not think that word means what you think it means.

The full text of the journal article is located here:
A possible role of social activity to explain differences in publication output among ecologists
Unfortunately, you have to be somewhere that's paid the journal's ransom.

I hate this new moderation system. One slip and you can accidentally mod someone down.
I can't believe no one picked up on this...

Man, I wish I could give you a +6 for this post.
I hope this is sarcasm.
I really do.

Energy storage on huge scales has actually already been done.
dam of the Ffestiniog Pumped Storage Scheme
Wind power pumps water into the reservoir, then, water is released on demand to spin turbines. From the wiki:
"The four water turbines at the power station can generate 360 MW of electricity within 60 seconds of the need arising."
Alternately, compressed air can be used:

Sounds like the perfect job for a grad student!

Why crack the box when you could just poison the DNS.
I'm sure it's not going to be looking for the IP.
