so, what is the purpose of your post, if not to educate and try to change other's habits?
If you believe that the world is doomed, what can be done? If it's all over and we'll all die within 50 years and it's too late to do anything, why do anything? What's even the point of telling others that the world is doomed if nothing can be done?
Humanity has the ability to adapt to their environments. The end of oil just marks the beginning of a new way humanity will survive. Is it a regression to the dark ages? I guess we'll find out soon eh?
As for me, I'll do what I can locally to save my little corner of the planet and elect those who I think will run my city, state and country in the most responsible fashion. I'll support causes I believe in with my time and money and ignore those I don't.
So, you can tell everyone the world's going to end. I'll try to have a little more faith in humanity to soldier on despite the challenges we may encounter.
The tone of your post sets yourself up for people to call you a hypocrite.
If you're looking to make change to the world, it will have to be in small steps. Fuel cells can help wean us off of oil, but make us more dependent on electricity (fuel cells can start as oil-fueled but can then be shifted to electrically produced Hydrogen). But consider this alternative a more localized solution to moving oil across the globe. Then you can move to the next worse offender - food maybe?
Telling people to completely change their lifestyles in one fell swoop will create so much backlash you won't have a leg to stand on. But if you incrementally attempt to make your changes, you have a much better chance of success. The frog doesn't jump out of the pot if the cook slowly turns up the heat.
Titanium Dioxide is not a rare compound, just like Aluminum Dioxide isn't. Pure Aluminum or Titanium are rare.
The original Crown Jewels contained Aluminum because it was a precious metal at the time. A chemical process was developed by Reynold around the 19th/20th century to convert a lot of Aluminum Dioxide into pure Aluminum using a small amount of pure Aluminum.
Lowest energy transfer procedure (from Mech550-AstroMechanics):
#1 - Thrust to escape Saturn's gravity well. Line that up with the desired deceleration in relation to the orbit around the sun.
#2 - Travel in Hohmman Transfer orbital path.
#3 - Thrust to slow down to match Earth's orbit around sun. This can be in conjunction with entry into LEO.
Jupiter could be used to further slow your trajectory, although slingshot maneuvers to slow a craft aren't as well documented as speed-up maneuvers (see Voyager I & II, Cassini, etc).
As others have said, space travel is EXPENSIVE - we won't be mining moons or other planets for a very long time:-)
I think what the others are saying is that you're comparing an operating cost to a production cost. If the guy riding the bike threw their bike away after he biked to work, you might have a point.
$150 so you can ALT-TAB instead of CTRL-TAB? Yikes.
I was given Office2007 at a Office/Vista kick-off seminar. It appears to be locked to an IP address (installed it on a couple machines on my home router, installing from my wife's (then girlfriend's) apartment denied me) once you start it up.
I've had it on my machine for a year now and I'm still hunting for features on that damn ribbon. I really got to customize those things.;-)
I'm sure he can't, as most people don't have a controlling interest in a company that offers carbon credits that have yet to do anything. By investing in his own company, he gets to say he's carbon neutral.
I'll have to try that sometime. All I'll have to do is file the paperwork to create a LLC. Ooh, that's a bit of paper used, I better give my company a few more bucks. All better:-D
I think that thinking this is the first time the US has used these tactics in the past 40 years is a little naive. These holding cells existed BEFORE 9/11. Who was being kept before 9/11? The thing that has changed is that the media can be in more places and can't be controlled as easily.
If, as you say, Bush's higher-ups updated this document, it was done the year Bush got re-elected. Wouldn't a date of 2005 make more sense, as it would be the first year of his second term?
Fair enough, I forgot about the energy crisis. It doesn't exactly fit the mold of my point, as this limit to our freedoms was due to the oil cartels limiting their production versus the government redirecting energy to the WWII war machine or the current administration revoking habeas corpus on suspected terrorists.
Truman took over as president in 1945 after being VP for only 82 days (I checked wikipedia) - he can take heat for dropping the bomb, but not for internment camps and rationing.
I agree that we have been demanding accountability for years. It doesn't happen in the congress and senate when people think that everyone there is a crook except their guy.
You're right - we don't live in a democracy. We live in a republic. We elect people to do the political work for us. I disagree that you don't have a voice unless you make 7 figures. You have the same voice as everyone else. People that donate large sums of money to candidates to get special treatment, but I would think it would be easier to monetarily back someone whose ideals you agree with than try to bribe somebody to bend to your ideals.
Wait, your pegging this report on the current administration? Wow. Just wow.
TFS says that it is a document that originated in 1994 and was amended in 2004. So you going to Line up Clinton, Gore, and "co-president" Hilary in front of that firing squad too?
Or was the original document a product of the military industrial complex, while the revisions were done by the evil Bush empire?
Hirohito caused more loss of civil freedoms than the current administration. I can still fill my car up with gas without showing the attendant a permission slip from the government. I believe there were more US citizens of Japanese descent held in internment camps than there are US citizens in Gitmo.
The problem with 3d printing is that you have no control of the type of plastic used. On top of that, most 3d printers do not make solid parts - the interior of the object is a honeycomb pattern. This combination makes structural soudness an issue.
3D Printing is great for producing parts for prototyping and decorative parts. Not good for load-bearing parts.
I don't think we have much to fear. It appears Bananas that grow arms and legs can't stop talking about peanut butter, jelly, and it being time for said items.
Just make sure they can't find any baseball bats and we should be fine.
Actually, the opposite would be true. If we were harvesting the scales off of these beetles, we would ensure that there were always enough. You don't see cows going on the endangered species list anytime soon, do you?;-)
Slashdot Mirror
Are you kidding? Think of the ocean-front property! The water will be pretty shallow too, so it'll be warm water, and there's already a ton of sand!
:-)
The time to buy in is now!
don't have to worry about it any more - the site has been effectively slashdotted :-)

not to mention pirates, detectives and doctors ;-)
:-D
I think Nintendo might have a lawsuit to pursue

No more bulky tubes! Simply submerse your mobo into the tub and overclock away!
It wouldn't work for a device with an interchangeable battery or peripherals, would it? Unless the connections are watertight?
Is making GM cars not TEH SUCK.
Just imagine, an Electric Cobalt, sweet!!!
Fixed that for you :-)

I can understand that - way to steal my zinger with a logical argument ;-)
I thought Microsoft offered a translation kit for older versions of Office. Dunno if this is offered on mac.

Nah, if you put it near a Samsung printer, the Samsung would invade and occupy the RipRap :-)

No fair! You beat me to it!

I don't know what it would take to claim ownership, but, hell, why not try?
