I don't think of myself as an environmentalist or anything like that. I'm all for better energy efficiency and cleaner forms of energy, but something like this strikes me as rather dumb. You have to spend energy making these things, and then energy running them, not to mention time and money all to remove a bit of CO2 out of the air. Wouldn't it make more sense to plant more trees instead, and spend the rest of your time and money on cleaner and more efficient methods of powering well everything?
I don't deny that climate change is happening, it's always been happening and I believe that we have some impact on the way it changes, so being as responsible as we can with what we do with 'waste' like CO2 or other byproducts is always important, but things like this in the modern "green" movement just make me shake my head in disbelief.
everyone got the same thing. It's a deal blizzard ran once they realized that D3 was going to really cut into their wow subscription numbers. In some ways blizzard are their own worst competition.
How long until Acitvision/Blizzard get enough money that their bank account collapses into a black hole, under it's own mass? Seriously, I'm sure Diablo 3, will be fun to play but the whole real money market place and lack of LAN/always on connection requirement really bothers me as a consumer. I think I'm going to pass on Diablo 3 myself, and just buy Torchlight 2 when it comes out.
Didn't they already do that at one point? I remember a lady who represented google, made some good points and the politicians and sopa supports just said 'you support piracy har har har'.
The average is going up because all the lower end IT positions are over seas mostly now, at least that is my guess. I always found these 'average' salaries to be very misleading. Because I always seem to be making below the average.
I dunno when I think explorer I don't think of these stunts. Sure they are difficult to accomplish but I don't see much actual exploration in them. Exploration would be charting some previously uncharted caves, exploring space (star trek style) or something else. This solo bike ride, is more stunt worthy, record book worthy but I don't think she will be remembered as an explorer.
My favorite class in college was, where the professor assigned us a chapter or two to read, and a few things to pay attention to. Then in class we discussed them, and asked questions. It was a lot better than simply listening to him lecture on the topic.
Giving prominence to your own services on your own website is hardly controversial. Looking at your article submissions I would say you are pushing an agenda of your own. This is the internet though and it's not like you can even expect real journalists not to push their own views. Still you could be less obvious about it.
I just find the inclusion of stuff about the law suits to be really stupid. I get that you wanted to fill out the summary since the entirety of the article could be reduced down to. Google has slightly changed the look of their site, making their non search related features more prominent.
international pressure can be important as well. Plus it would be kinda funny since the USA is often mucking around in other countries legislation. I'd be happy to see my law makers break a sweat for a change while they sell out the American people.
Is 'making money from it's inventions' code for suing people for patent infringement and patenting every dumb little thing possible. Or will they actually being doing something productive?
pretty much this for me. I love a lot of what Ron Paul has to say, and I agree with him about 80% of the time but some of his views on the economy and such just feel a bit out of touch with the real world. Still i'm tempted to vote for him.
Might explain the drought in Texas, or maybe that is because we elected Rick Perry. Though the fact he prayed for rain and we got wild fires instead might be considered evidence towards that theory.
Corporations have more rights than people in america, these days. I dunno how any court can look at these EULAs that remove so much of a consumers rights. What next an EULA that prevents me from posting a bad review or the companies product?

ya I saw this already and I thought it looked fishy myself.
Ya if we made it again politicians and lobbiests would just stuff it with their buddies and use it as a means to pass what ever laws they wanted.

How about we all just pay with pennies. Because this fee is BS.

Hope it has good ventilation and cooling. Nothing worse than a hot, smelly lan party.

Your one word response doesn't provide any data. Please provide links to this data you found with google.
Any idea which reactor it was?

Bah insider trading? Half the members of the US Senate are guilty of worse.
