I personally think Ecco 2: the tides of time has one of the best soundtracks for the mood of the game (which is very somber). Too bad the game was not too popular (probably because it's very hard and frustrating).
I go to a school in the U.S. and let's just say the email is notorious for being really, really crappy. It takes about a day to send or receive an email, almost all the spam that I get (which gmail filters as spam) is forwarded from my school email address, and we only get 25 MB. I filled up 25 MB within a month because of all the attachments teachers send to us and expect us to somehow be able to receive. I know a lot of people, myself included, who forward all of their school emails to gmail, since the forwarding isn't nearly as slow as receiving it in the inbox (in the worst days I'd get emails 3-4 days before the rest of the class, no exaggeration), the spam goes where it belongs, and I can save stuff. I therefore am not surprised in the least at this article, and I hope that my school pays attention.
I'm not a company exec but I used to use Open Office for writing progress reports to send to my research mentor. When I used it I had to save everything as.doc files because Open Office can read Doc files but Word (which my mentor, and seemingly everyone else in the world, as much as I'd like that to change) can't read open document files, at least not word 2003. I ended up giving up on Open Office because when I tried to convert files with equations (needed for the progress reports) into.doc format, the equations did not transfer, and I couldn't find a way to fix it.
If a contributor contributes regularly from a dynamic IP address, are these contributions all considered by different anonymous users? As far as I know, dynamic IPs are quite common and if their data was taken over different days (I didn't notice a mention of their time frame in the article, except they took the data "as of March 1st 2005") this could explain why they found anonymous users with less contributions tended to make more quality edits.
Are those numbers the amount that the body can use from these fuels, or how much is obtained when they're burned? It's very unlikely that a fuel cell would be built to be more efficient than a living thing, after years and years of evolution to improve it. You still have a point that fat contains more energy per gram, though I don't think it's quite as common as cellulose, it's getting there.
What ever happened to civil debates? It seems like every time people are in a disagreement over something, they want to sue over it... instead, it would probably be a better solution for him to actually address the concerns of people who disagree with him.
I highly doubt that this guy's beef is worth 15 million dollars anyways.
I am not quite as worried about someone knowing how I voted as I am about someone ''changing''/''deleting'' how I voted. I'd say rather than worry about this people should focus more on improving the security of the machines for the upcoming presidential election.
In regards to people saying that there could be alternative fuel sources such as wind, solar, etc. as alternatives to fossil fuels, people have been saying that for years, but there's always one problem (at least in the U.S.), and that's that wherever the government or some corporation tries to build the facilities for clean power generation, someone makes up a lame excuse like it's "unsightly" (see for example this page , which describes the difficulty Cape Cod is having in building a wind farm). Even environmental groups such as the Audobon society have opposed plans to build them in some cases, though admittedly the Audobon society had given its support to the Cape Wind project.
I do hope, though, that eventually the higher gas prices and other energy prices (for example, in Connecticut, UI is planning on raising their rates by this year), not to mention the security threats posed by dependence on foreign oil, will force people to reconsider.

Its no different for proprietary software, in which the number of licenses is basically equal to the number of pieces of software you have ordered.

Did they patent a virtual air freshener too? Because I really need one.
