On a more serious note, Micr$oft waited to release this OS until as many of their corporate customers signed "upgraded site licenses". They have a built in 3 year market. No Risks. It is better than being a utility company but not quite as good as the government racket.
Recently, the US military released a major leader of the insurgents at the request of the Iraqi puppet premier/head thug . It was a very bad military decision. So bad in fact, it must have come from Bush not Rumsfield. It will cost many US lives and prolong our presence in the country. I suspect he left for that and similar decisions; not from media pressure.
In other news Israel and Syria are both preparing for full scale war perhaps as soon as ten months. The shrillness of the soon to be speaker of the house will assure that America is not prepared for it or worse. We should be positioning several tank divisions near the border with the call up (recruitment?) of at least another 100,000 to 500,000 soldiers. Taking out Syria would be the next step towards diminishing Iran's influence. But again we are not prepared (both militarily nor is the US public prepared).
What about similar tests on Venus? As I understand Venus, somewhere in the upper atmosphere it is warm enough for liquid water and the pressure is right for earth-like microbes to be very much alive.
Would a similar test run in a balloon floating along prove successful?
The Guardian says "This means that a kilogram of methane warms the planet's atmosphere 23 times as much as the same amount of carbon dioxide."
A gas can not warm the planet. The sun is the main heat source for the planet. We have to assume that the planet's own heat is constant. Increase the sun's output by fractions of a percentage to produce very dramatic warming on the earth. Greenhouse effect only relates to how much (or how little) the earth cools after it's been heated by the sun. Even man's exhaust from all sources can not warm the first 500 feet of the ocean anywhere close to what the sun does. The oceans and its currents affect weather far more than anything man does or at present can do.
I note that the study was purposely trying to find locations on a lake and lakes that spew larger amounts of methane. So the intent was to find more gas. The intent was to collect it better than previous studies. With out satelite confirmation over the same areas, it is a biased study.
One of the 'Artimis Fowl' stories predicted this quite nicely. The LEP (rechans) have had this technology for quite some time. They also have the ability to see a fingerproint on wired access and fingerprints from each router and each section of copper.
Very simply under Clinton the EPA refused to let NASA use Freon to apply the foam to the H2 tank. Since NASA is a socialist organization they could not fight it. I tried posting this a THE story earlier today: http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/7/28/93055 .shtml
I have worked in Nocs before and there were several reasons why the room was wired for cable. The simplest was to be able to watch CNN for events that might disturb the network. A specialized network could provide direct problems such as:
1) Weather including solar storms
2) Network cuts/degrations
3) Running stats on virus attacks
4) Coporate outages
5) Independent outages reports -- so you know who to blame.
6) Known reasons for increased bandwidth usage (ex Hey new star wars trailer)
Still I think there are already several sources of independent news that work just fine.
BTW The BBC piece is Global Warming Propganda -- Look how much "red" is on their map. Its the whole country. I can't believe the whole country will be flooded. Unless they are assuming the socialist control of the country increases and every has to share more of the pain...
1) I've seen these studies too. I agree
2) No, The earth was warmer because North and South American were not connected and ocean currents through the (now) Panama region resulted in current that kept the whole planet warm.
3) It is not arrogant. God gave Man dominion over the earth... And God said "be fruitfull and multiply" so this zero population stuff is bunk too.
The biggest issue with global warming is ocean currents. The Kyoto protocals will harm the environment more than doing nothing!
apt-get is available and I use it on my SuSE install. There are also several sites that have directories of rpms that install packages "The Suse Way" in/through apt-get. Better still is synaptic. I am away from my bookmarks otherwise I would inlcude the URL's (and lazy to do a google search). The only drawback is that most of the apt-get-SuSE sites are in Europe and you burn "crossing the pond" latency.
Yes, I too may just spend the $59 for an upgrade just to support them instead of using an FTP install as I have done in the past.
The US tax structure is heavily biased towards capital accumulation and NOT human work. But only certain kinds of capital. If you own stock and it goes up in value but don't sell you pay no taxes. If your house goes up in value you will pay more taxes!
If you work for a living and you get a raise that puts you into the next tax bracket, you could loose even more money.
The current Income tax penalizes people who earn more money!
The United States is already 47% socialist or more. If you look at all of the taxes paid by the average/. reader with income around $50,000. Ask Milton Freedmon.
Angry? we should be boiling mad right now. Or dropping out...

"hands free" operation. For instance in some warehouse implementations I've done we mounted laptop computers on fork lift equipment. First it was a pain to get the "big burly hands" to use nipples on the machine and tailed mice still had to have a place to play on. There are hand activitated computers but these cost 3X times as much as a normal PC/laptop.
Whould it not also work for presentations?

This article has no scientific statement only political statements. It should not have been featured in slashdot. It is pur flamebait -- propaganda
1) The US forest's are actually growing. Consider 100 years ago Pennsylvania's forests were used to build the east coast houses and then provide fuel. Today they have grown back.
2) An acre of corn traps 5 times the amount of CO2 as an old growth forest. MORE importantly CO2 is not polution it is natural by product of life. If you don't want CO2 then kill everyone and everything.
4) Methane is 22 times the "greenhouse gas" as CO2 and the article does not mention it at all. Methane is produced from bateria inside most animals -- (except kangaroos!!!!! http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/asia-pacifi c/newsid_2023000/2023371.stm ) Perhaps they did not mention cow flautuance because this article is shit.
5) Water vaper is also a greenhouse gas but it is not mentioned.
6) Sure the US uses a lot of energy per capita. So what? Every other country is trying to do exavtly the same.
Launch codes for US nuclear arsenal. With out them several trillion dollars of hardware doesn't work and/or US ripe for invasion/blackmail. With them you could destroy the rest. The codes to retarget them too is worth nearly as much.
Several movies valued just one nuclear bomb in at several billion. ----
Then again Clinton sold nuclear secrets to China for only 10 million donation to the DNC. (and chinese money to Arkansas teachers union and several major defense contractor and free trade to China and several hundred congressmen...)
This contract is almost a Ferenge contract "...If you read this document you violate the terms of the contract..."
So with a a bit of html magic one could submit the form with a different contract -- one the is more user friendly to the consumer. Does thier software check that it is the original contract??? If it does not then THEY will then have aggreed to "our" obnoxious terms.
If you user their service and it works does this not violate the agreement?
Today a contract should actually state all of the details that each US state applies to such agreements and to each country as well. It should be a nicely format XML contract with all of the details downloadable to your machine. If they can't give you a copy automatically it should not be enforceable.
If you sue them and win it seems you still have to pay their costs or am I wrong?
Given that they (at lanl) want this to be part of a system that converts coal and contains a SOHO fuel cell the 800 C temp required for this process exists AND it is "excess" heat readily usable.
