Russia, I believe would join in, if a real "space" coalition would be formed, I'm sure of that, if only not to be left behind in any form of discovery.
GE, too, has launched a green business initiative: ecomagination, an effort to make environmentally sustainable technologies an ever-larger part of GE's business. Swirls fit well, despite the inevitable cannibalization. "The real issue is, if we don't do it, someone else will," says GE's ecomagination vice president, Lorraine Bolsinger, of Wal-Mart's effort to push CFLs.

Why do/. geeks buy these routers? I don't trust these closed systems, and neither should self-respecting geeks. How hard is it to buy an old 486 or Pentium and two or more NICs and install Open/Net/FreeBSD or Linux and turn it into a cheap router?

The kicker? It's NOT refundable!

Believe me, you cannot spend a year in Montreal and stay a virgin, even if you are a computer nerd!
Ever wonder why "Je me souviens" (translation: I remember) is written on our license plates here in Quebec?;-)

You watch too much Stargate SG-1 methinks...
Kerala is ruled by an ELECTED communist government within an overall governmental framework that is not communist.
Why call it communism when it is clearly social-democracy?
