Which is pretty much the case, and they are still millionaires.
I have some Floyd on vinyl but I do occasionally like it on the computer to. For this am I going to turn to itunes? Why? Fan created torrents are more lovingly made than some digital re-issue anyway, even if there are quirks.
This also highlights the technological advantage of filesharing where you can get either the individual song or the full album for the same price and torrent.
All radio stations, and college stations with great music among them, are shifting focus to the internet more and more over the years. As the tubes become more pervasive, this becomes easier to listen to the computer than the radio. So you'll get less local music, but you can get good stuff from around the world.
And whatever we brand to be green IS green. Until recently green was associated with a different type of social lubricant. And therein lies the answer to the motive for calling this "Green."
Yes, a boat that takes 10 years to sink. What a deathtrap. We are all individualists in the end: That is why you parrot Glen Beck with his outstanding example.
Or maaayyybe we might not be the atomic consumers they say we are?
I would use Yahoo primarily and Altavista occassionally. But I don't know why you claim that you're so old to have done that stuff. I was young then. I remember the Commodore64. What is your definition of old then? I'm nostalgic about that too but I think of that as being because I was (and still am sorta) young and I get nostalgic - whereas an older person would be less sentimental because that wasn't the first computer and also because it wasn't that great. really.
The Luddites were technologically savvy and are villified because their campaigns were effective and disruptive to the capitalism that was destroying livelihoods. The word is constantly mis-used in popular parlance.
You're pompously conflating certain scientific understanding of the mechanism of protons in a quantum state (ironically) with certainty about unknown health effects which may or may not have anything to do with the topic you are expert at. The reason there is controversy is because there is money at stake and because we don't fully understand how these things might effect us. Not because there is a lack of Quantum Theory TV show watching. Your Scientifical political understandings are more juvenile than the populist scientific misunderstandings. Chemical change is not the useful effect that we use electromagnetic radiation for (for the most part) it has strong effects over long distance - that's why we use it over long distance.
What is the effect on health of the human body constantly resonating as an antenna with all this signal noise? Personally I think cancer is what we through at all our unknown fears but far more plausible is mental effects - the brain is an "electrical" organ.
Who is favour of more radiation? And how can anyone think that electromagnetic radiation (of any frequency) has NO impact? Of course it has impact, that is why we use it. That we don't understand the entire effect is clear.
Take an oscilloscope and put it across your skin. It will read 60Hz (unless your power lines are different frequency)
We have a lot of money tied up in this signalling. There is a lot of room for dishonesty and bad science. Fearmongering isn't the answer.
I've made some things in CYCAS 3d. It's not too bad but it is limited. I was using the free version. I'm not sure the license is free or not... I thought it was. It's more architectural software really. It was the only thing I could figure out how to use on linux anyway. There is also the Google CAD thing... but that is probably free only as beer.
Recently I got a chance to use Solidworks and I don't think I'm going back to CYCAS. If I was more into architecture though... it did have some features that I can't equate to Solidworks... but not nearly as many as vice versa.
Cars are trivial because they are going to be a footnote of stupidity in our history. A small blip. They overwhelm us now, but in a few hundred years they will just be archaeology and museums. Bicycles will still be in use. Probably also modern airplanes and spacecraft.
It's so simple. The new should not be allowed to break the old. If the new has to do that, then it's design is bad.
This is like a manifesto that should apply to all programming and not just browser plugins! Say it loud and proud! Users love this. Programmers hate it. With open source programmers get more say.
I'll venture to guess because cell-phones are easy to lock people into due to their proprietary locked down hardware vs. a full/portable computer is as free as the intelligence of the consumer so it's very easy to take the hardware and then dump the bad deal (overpriced bandwidth charge to account for the freebies)
Basically I think it is most honest and works best if you just pay for what you get directly instead of having "free."
politicians are easy to blame. step up with leadership instead. we live in an individualist society where leadership is disavowed and then we are amazed when greedy stupid people take the lead.
I hate to be denigrating computer processes here on slashdot but...
That is exactly the sort of logic that stupid designers who have no real knowledge of materials and real world production/limitations/strengths use. They have no experience designing except in Solidworks. That is a great program but if you start that way you miss so much, it costs so much more, it eventually doesn't work when you lose the old guy who still remembers what the real world constraints are. Look at all the crap designers put out that is supposed to be the next big thing and is supposedly well thought out. For instence the Segway. Things get designed by designers who are just out of touch. That is what my Art/Design School was like. I like to weld. I was totally frustrated by the attitude. I like computers too. The school is all computers though, and I don't mean linux, and programming and actual smart computer. It's just pay a bunch of money for Solidworks and a suite of other Professional looking programs that could be useful in the hands of the right people but are just window dressing on bad ideas... that is what we are teaching now. Superficial success through ignoring experience and blindly embracing the new off the shelf technology that we are hooked on and don't understand. My school was a bunch of hipsters posing as geeks. Welcome to the post-modern.
There are lots of high quality industrial machines made in America and Germany and Taiwan... But if you are like most businesses, you are watching the price. So you buy Chinese for most things and only the high quality stuff for the mission critical equipment. I worked in a shop that made local handmade products and we were no different in our tooling needs.

The Force is 1.26 microseconds more accurate. And it is more real!
But car crashes are inevitable because we NEED all those cars you inconsiderate cad!
I got a 386 for you, inside is a 120mb HDD with ~$600 price sticker on it!

Or use intelligence which yeast do not have but we (despite heavy propaganda to the contrary) have the potential to use.

Or is the danger something like we all turn into zombies after 20 years of exposure? Because I think THAT is happening. RIGHT NOW!
(get in your hybrid car and keep driving to save the environment!!!)
...Also: Science = certainty and Skepticism = unscientific

Yeah the long suffering homo image was a totally new thing to that movie that had never been done before.
