That's what I'm hoping for, I want them all to assault each other's patents until it's very hard (vs. how it is now) to get one filed and have it stick.
Let's just be clear, have you read this guy's posts? I've read them. He posted many violent threats (and absolute batshit insanity) on his Facebook page, even if some were quoted lyrics. All the conservatives I know on other forums stopped portraying this guy as a persecuted victim after they actually read his posts.
Other countries should get a clue before they lose what privacy they have left. It's not an obsolete concept just because the execs of the companies that stand to profit most from your personal info say so. Facial recognition technology is one of the biggest threats to privacy.
I missed the 10 year one and I'll be missing the 15-year one too. No parties in my country. There are only 2 other slashdotters from here anyways and I know one of them is no fun at parties:-P
How do you know when it's going to disintegrate? Even UV dye crack detection and X-ray examination aren't perfect. This could even happen to a newish pump.
I know renewable on a house is expensive right now. By "shorter commute" I was thinking a closer job rather than a closer house. Electric cars are already falling into the same price range as ICEs. Look at the Mitsubishi-i for example. For the people who buy new cars those are a good option.
The world's cars, planes, cows and homes are no eyedropper. You're right that government action and sequestration will be needed, but it will take radical change before anything happens. The effects of global warming will have to be in Average Joe's face and a generation of climate skeptics might have to die off. International cooperation will be needed. Until then individuals can act to buy some time.
Which one changed in time to effect next year's food supplies: Biofuel production and the US financial situation, or the amount of rainfall over the US' farmland this year?
To begin with, there is greenhouse gas emissions, the argument most often invoked to promote grass-feeding. Yet grass-fed meat is more, not less, greenhouse-gas intensive.
In this, simple chemistry is the Draconian ring master, dictating that every decomposing carbon-containing molecule ends up as methane if the decomposition is anaerobic, as it is in the largely oxygen free rumen, and as carbon dioxide if the decomposition occurs in the presence of oxygen, as befalls most cellulose not digested by ruminants.
Since grazing animals eat mostly cellulose-rich roughage while their feedlot counterparts eat mostly simple sugars whose digestion requires no rumination, the grazing animals emit two to four times as much methane, a greenhouse gas roughly 30 times more powerful than carbon dioxide.
Cheap doesn't have to be environmentally unfriendly. A small car with a 4-stroke carbed engine and no catalytic converter is actually way better than a 2-stroke bike (or probably an SUV with a large-displacement engine). Within a decade or two electric vehicles will cost about the same as ICEs. There's not a whole lot of money to be saved by making things dirtier.
Low-power devices, short commute, small cars, don't eat much beef, I enable telecommuting professionally. Other options are not available or too expensive currently (but I'm a broke Gen. Y'er) except planting trees, but my country is already overrun with foliage.

Well at least now there's the option to try to round up the loose horses...
It would be great if they all set astroturfers on the site to destroy each other's patents...hey, I can dream right?
What's shit to drive? Surely not catless uncarbed 4-stroke small cars, some of the most fun vehicles ever made fall into that category.
It was entirely unintentional, I'll be more careful about that.
There's a musician with the same name as me, I hope he has a biiiiig Facebook presence :-)
The Onion published this not long after the first 4-bladed razor came out:

...will go blind and be eaten by ambulatory carnivorous plants. Sorry to deliver the bad news.
Good thing the US has no such laws

Only to grow up locked into an MS language which could be dumped as quickly as Silverlight.
Nice try shill.

You think that pallet-dropping is cheap, or is expensive due to a corrupt monetary system? You think food gets thrown away near where it's needed?
I won't deny that dumping and improper handling of hazardous waste are profitable but that's not really what we're discussing.
How do you know when it's going to disintegrate? Even UV dye crack detection and X-ray examination aren't perfect. This could even happen to a newish pump.
You think "Dr." Francis T. Manns, anonymous Internet commenter and well-known climate "skeptic," is a credible or authoritative source?
Could have sworn I put quotes around "skeptics." I think it's more fargone than "hacker" now anyways.

Addendum: Oh and of course maintain/reuse. I'm a master at that.
That's not what the second link says:
