Your comment follows the Slashdot standard of not reading the article you are commenting on. The study was not about carbon footprint or the total life cycle costs of wind power. The study suggests that "using wind turbines to meet 10 percent of global energy demand in 2100 could cause temperatures to rise by one degree Celsius in the regions on land where the wind farms are installed, including a smaller increase in areas beyond those regions." So the study is looking at possible local effects of wind farms, not the global climate.
Apropos, "Their analysis indicates the opposite result for wind turbines installed in water: a drop in temperatures by one degree Celsius over those regions."

I was also surprised by that, so I looked it up. As of the end of Friday trading, they just edged out Wal-Mart for number 3.

Not very clear wording. I would interpret that as 90% of those detained are terrorists. Which doesn't tell you anything about your false positive rate.
I am an NPR junky. The problem is that local NPR stations generally don't transmit very far. I recently moved to an area that only gets one station, and its programming is mediocre with news and talk for only part of the day and music all evening and night. So I got an XM radio so that I could listen to NPR. XM provides 24/7 BBC world service, world radio network, and 3 public radio channels. And I can get it reliably at home and on the road no matter where I am in the country. No other broadcast radio or internet phone service can match that. So for me satellite radio is definitely worth it.
If they are only using this code in house then it wouldn't matter if it was BSD or GPL. Remeber, GPL doesn't mean that just anyone can demand to see your code at any time. You are only obligated to give source code to those who you give or sell your binaries.
Is it even possible for a non-compete agreement to be permanent? I admit I am ignorant on this issue, but it was my understanding that non-compete can only cover a reasonable amount of time (a few years at most). For example, if someone is only good at one skill (e.g. writing database managers), and a company makes them sign a non-compete, it seems unreasonable that the person should never be allowed to work on database managers again for the rest of their life. Or as a more on topic example, if organization A makes a developer sign a non-compete that they will not work on the competing products of organization B (or in this case open source community B). It seems unreasonable that the developer can never work for organization B for the rest of their lives. I understand that organization A can keep you from taking the code you developed for them and giving it to organization B, or from quitting you job at organization A and then immediately applying your insider knowledge to help organization B to gain some competitive advantage. But a life time ban from every contributing anything to organization B's products? I am not sure this is possible.
A subheading of the article "Little energy needed to create crystals"
[Yaghi] said the crystals are non-toxic and would require little extra energy from a power plant, making them an ideal alternative to current methods of CO2 filtering.

the one problem i have had with browsing when using a touch screen, is the need for "mouse over" various elements.
Watch the video, they put a trackpad on the back so that you can mouse over. Looks like a neat idea, but hard to say if it will catch on or not.

No, its viral. When his children mate with non-GPL people, their code becomes GPL.

It will also be live on Hulu in Flash.

If you are really interested in why, then this classic paper on chip scaling S. Borkar, Design Challenges of Technology Scaling, IEEE Micro, pages 23-29, July 1999 explains why todays chips consume so much power.
