Come to Ontario, Canada. It has been legal to drive while legally blind for quite a while now. We even have beeping traffic lights so that the blind drivers know when the light has changed.
If something sound dangerous this sure is it. The best way to acquire more energy is use less of it. Playing with the forces of nature is dangerous. If it caused problems in one place it will cause problems in California. I doubt it will cause the big one, but I can see it causing small shock waves that will be disruptive, destructive, and ultimately cost more resources and energy than it replaces. I also worry for the people who would be working there if a geothermal event were to occur such as a small volcano would they be able to escape before it killed them
The problem with the Internet is most of the information on it is unfettered or incomplete. Wikipedia is bad example of information because no one is responsible for the information. A book publisher on the other hand is responsible to the readers of the books. Granted, book publishers pander to all the same things that people and interests who publish on the Internet do. The difference as a company if the print misinformation on a topic, person or place that is libelous or slander they can be more easily sued or the community they are in will not use their books in the future.
I once edited Wikipedia after two weeks of seeing a false statement about parts of the queer community transsexuals. The problem was before I edited it people in less educated circumstances (People who do not read books) would think these people were perverts. If you read a journal published by a member of the American Psychological Association in good standing you would not have been given this false information. The original problem was made worse because now two people who are not experts have made changes to an article. I am sure that goes on a lot, and I am sure people make changes that fit their perceptions instead of societies as a whole.
Books, especially university and most college books are examined closely by the educational institutions before putting them on the textbooks list.
I was using the Internet when Gopher was king in kermit over a blazing 14.4 modem. Then as now the Internets great use has been finding information that is obscure or unpublished, but if the author does not disclose his credentials or sources I relegate that information into my minds/dev/null.
Look we live in a free society as long as it doesn't interfere with someone else's freedom. So as long as there are nuts running around blowing things up and hurting people, you will have to accept searches as being an everyday part of life.
Why because the rest of us have the basic right to live and if we did not search people who have access to high level goverment buildings we would be endangering lives needlessly.
I don't know what funnier ZDNET writing such a article. or all the comments replying to it. Its seems no one thinks ZDNET has any right to chastise linux Reviewers. I was impressed by the number of people who don't actually use Linux but were still angry at ZDNETS holier than thou's arrogance. I sincerly hope that someday a magazine will come along that will tell the truth. but until then "cavet emptor and merry Christmas"
I like the idea but do we really need another closed source operating system. I like the fact they wrote it in assembly now if they would just GPL the source code so someone else can re-write it to work on a Motorala based computer. I know Assembly doesn't work the same a C for portablity but rewriting a 37K operating system to work on different platforms would give programmers alot more reason to write applications. I have not seen any 386 processor for sale new but motorala still makes its 68000 in various forms. This would make the OS a more likely canidate to be used. Then write Applications using slower but more portable C code that would work on both platforms. But maybe that the whole reason the authors didn't GPL it. I would also like to know if their is a mirror because I can't seem to get their entire site. I did read their faq The OS is Free but not GPLed.
