Are you saying you've never worked for an organization that advertised to make a profit? Or a place supported by taxes or donations from people who worked at such corporations?
Having worked at a computer recycler, it's certainly possible to get a P2 computer and a 15" monitor with perhaps some color balance problems for a lot less than $200. Then put on a pirated OS, or something like Ubuntu or Knoppix. No ads necessary.
Lots of stuff already uses DC internally. Starting with your computer. I think power transmission will always be AC, simply because you can step up the voltage to decrease line losses.
What? You mean like if there were an operating system these companies could legally license for free, and maybe an office suite to go with it, they could save a lot of money? Yeah, I'm sure Microsoft will suggest that.
Also, the hydrogen has to come from somewhere. It's an energy store, not a source. That's fine for vehicles, but due to inefficiencies, using hydrogen to power an off-grid solar house at night would be pretty expensive.
Utilities are required by some states to pay full price for power customers sell back to them (look up "net metering"). Also, many solar installations will still be hooked to the grid for night use rather than using batteries (or hydrogen). If a person puts in solar and sells enough electricity during the day to have a bill of 0, they're helping the utility by moving load to the night, when air conditioning typically isn't run as much. That lets the utility use less peak load plants, which often have a high marginal cost to run.
So wait, you're saying energy as gasoline is cheaper than electricity, so it makes sense to sell the electricity to the state and buy gasoline? That doesn't make sense to me.
Ah, I read it quite awhile ago like I said. I saw somewhere that he took LSD, but later felt ashamed of it, so in _Surely You're Joking_ he presented the experience as resulting from sensory deprivation only.
I've never used marijuana. That said, from everything I've read, there's no *long term* lack of motivation. The people you're thinking of were likely under the influence *at the time*. Likely if someone had a long island iced tea on the way into work, they'd be acting the same. And at that point they should be disciplined for lack of productivity, or otherwise for fallings hort of expectations. What substance, if any, made them that way, or whether they simply didn't feel like being productive, is beside the point. And whether they're doing what they're being paid to do is what the employeer really should be thinking about.
If I read the same book you're thinking of, what Feynmann did was LSD, sensory deprivation, and women. One of those can show up in urine for 72 hours (so take it on the friday before memorial day weekend - he never took it frequently - and the others not at all. Unless you read something different from what I'm thinking of?
Or is that soot and so forth making the flame visible, in the same way a bunsen burner flame becomes opaque when you put something in it (for example a tool to clean?)
I don't get the thing with diesel. The fuel efficiency is wonderful, but I for one don't want to drive a car that smells and sounds like a school bus or semitruck... or are car diesel engines different in some magic way?
Unfortunately, the result of that is likelhy to be Microsoft using a remote kill-switch to erase every hard drive on a windows machine set to an European time zone, and sadly I can see Bush backing them up.
As a concerned user of fully patched Gentoo, I have tested the "F5 causes excessive reloading" vulnerability. It works on Konqueror, Mozilla and Firefox, with all patches installed, including hardened kernel. Local access to the machine is NOT required; the F5 vulnerability can be triggered when opening a web browser through, e.g., SSH forwarded X connections.
Also obscurity has weaknesses when used for cryptography (particular cryptography like DRM that's widely distributed in compiled form) that it doesn't have in other contexts. Particularly, obscurity is used all the time in espionage.
Absolutely! And Google Images should remove all images of female ankles, lest it go afoul of Saudi law. We deal with this same issue on Wikimedia. Certain religious books are under perpetual copyright in the UK. However, they're still available through WikiSource (with warnings about reuse in the UK), because we are only bound by US law.
So you're saying that I could be fined as an individual for owning a few shares through a mutual fund, a circumstance that probably applies to half the US population? I can't believe that's true.

This bug is for Solaris telnet only, correct? So MUDs and others which are using the protocal without telnetd are ok?
Fine: GBP 5000
Legal bills: GBP 2000

The problem with voting with your feet when it's the government ISP is that few people have feet that can outrun bullets.

Yeah, because Diebold is certain to record votes for democratic candidates.
Won't the Cell reception be poor inside the metal cabinets?

I hope there will be a patch soon!

Heh, how long until we get a CIA "intervention" in China a la U.S. Fruit and Vegetable Co.?

I'd say the worst case is that Microsoft uses a backdoor to permanently crash every machine in Europe and kill the economy. Is that at all plausible?
