Thank god for BitTorrent. Get all your pr0nz and don't even need a user name. Sometimes being an anonymous coward has its advantages.
Of course, really, unless there is someone with a high-profile in that list accessing some really really naughty stuff, this breach won't affect the average Joe Blow out there.
On many of these electrics, you do need to plug-in to get your initial charge. Isn't that causing just as much, if not more, pollution than burning oil locally? My hometown of Toledo, Ohio would really benefit from high proliferation of electric cars. Our power is fed from the Davis-Besse Nuclear Reactor. That means this "clean" technology would really be clean. Of course, would you rather pay for gas at the pump or an exorbitant electric bill?
Alternatives to fossil fuel for electricity production need to be adopted before we can really call any of these electric car vaporware concepts genuinely clean.
hmm... 20' x 6'... That would fit inside a grain silo for a bit of added shielding. Also, I would finally have the power to fuel the big ass Tesla Coil I've been planning on building! Sign me up!
The moons, which lie within the giant planet's rings, may have come by their strange shape by gradually accumulating ring particles in a ridge around their equators. The dominating theory as to how the moon of Earth formed was a method much like this. The Earth actually had rings from a giant impact at one time and they all condensed into one big mass that we know and love as Luna.
First off, Svalbard? How in the hell would anyone, if anyone exists, post-epoch get to such a remote place?
Second, coal-powered? I mean, sure the Soviets mined it there for years and the Norwegians still do. But if we are at a point to use the doomsday seed thing, the Norwegians would have been long extinct along with the rest of the world. No coal, no perfectly conditioned environment for keeping dormant seeds.
I've read some people offer the suggestion of solar power. That's nice and all. Except there is the nuclear winter doomsday hypothesis. So that might be out of the question.
Nuclear power would require too much maintenance to power the refrigerators. And with no people left, totally out of the question.
Geothermal would probably be the most reliable source of power for the facility. But that brings me to my next point...
If there are going to be a doomsday apocalypse, why even bother with seeding the planet?
Shortly after the AOL incident, Google's Eric Schmidt called the data release 'a terrible thing,' and assured the public that 'this kind of thing could not happen at Google.' So... AOL = evil Netflix = evil Facebook = evil Goolgle != evil
Thank you Eric for giving us the warm and fuzzies that Google is not evil with your two cents.
Hmmm. Maglev seems like a very nice idea. But financing is my sticking point. It's a train system that probably will not run through my state; and if it did, it would probably be on the other extreme. So it would be a $100million/mile train line that I wouldn't benefit from, yet I would have to pay for! I'm getting the same feeling I got in college whenever they would want to build a new sports complex. Screwed!
Exactly. To paraphrase Penn Gellette, these people are out there tilling the fields with Grandpa's femur. No doubt the world could benefit from ideas generated in the third world, but their baser needs (Food, Clothing, Shelter) need to be addressed first.

There is a hotfix for this issue. It fixed the problem for me.
Well, there goes the Luxor. Huge copyright violation prominently displayed on the Las Vegas Strip!

Hey! Someday he will save the world from immanent destruction and even you will say "Thank you Al Gore! You're super awesome!"

So his list is based on vendor FUD-slinging? I don't even need to RTFA to know not to waste my time. How is this news?

I somehow always knew ctrl + h would be the death of us.
Seen it. But the concave boobs get me every time!
Just look at the suit! It would sharply direct 140mph air at my man parts!
hmmm My money is at stake so what do they do? They pay for this solution with my money!
I presented a theory as a theory and you presented a theory as a fact.
Note the word theory used.
*GASP* I thought AOL was keeping us all safe online!
Better yet, right across the border in Toledo, same price with no deposit!
I see many many flaws with this.

Quantum Teleportation. It's all the rage in Los Alamos.
Why do I get a vision of Jack Bauer taking orders from Bill Gates to wipe some Chinese online terrorists off the map from some CTU-like complex?
Soviet Russia... There! I said it! Now we can move-on to on-topic conversation.
Really... I mean really... I would have honestly expected less "duh" out of a kdawson article.

I like bread and butter.
I like toast and jam.
I like those good and simple things,
and that's why I like SPAM!
