I agree with what you say but the problem now is that Israel won't make any concessions as long as Bibi & Lieberman are at the helm. They won't negotiate, they won't accept any concessions made by the Palestinians, they won't stop new settlements, nothing. They just won't do it. It was never in their plans. It will never be. I hope the situation will change with a future new Israeli PM.
Many people who hate the US do it because the US has a tendency to go to war directly or indirectly whenever and wherever they see their national interests compromised. I think most US-haters wouldn't mind the US being the world police if the US weren't so war/violence-prone. Granted that there are radicals who want to extend their faith all over the world and their main target is the US, but not the only one (Madrid, London bombings).
I think that just reading www.haaretz.com (a Jewish newspaper) could open the eyes of Americans. There are much harsher critics of Israel's policy in Haaretz alone than you'll find in any US MSM. Well, some will rationalize those critics as coming from self-hating Jews and move on with their unconditional support of Israel. Hamas and Hezbollah are no saints, but Bibi and Lieberman have no intention of making up with the Palestinians no matter the conditions (see the "Palestine papers").
Not all solar power is photovoltaic, not all photovoltaic technologies are as contaminant. Uranium mining is a part of nuclear power that seems to be left out of the debate. Uranium mining is not without environmental/health harm. Just for the record: I'm not a tree-hugger, and I consider myself nuclear-agnostic.
Well, they could change their Windows theme, partially or wholly. A different color here or there, different font size, etc. I've noticed some of these pop-ups imitate XP's default theme. It was an instant giveaway seeing a XP default-style dialog in a XP machine using classic Windows theme with different colors. It's also an instant giveaway on Windows 7.

You speak the truth, indeed. My main worry is: Will the transition happen fast enough? I really hope, so. Really. My other worry is over a potential fight for control over rare-earths and other resources.
But... but... It's an Apple product! And everybody's been waiting for so long! And it's white! White! So revolutionary simple only Jobs could have thought about it! A white iPhone... Brilliant! Oh, and you can make phone calls! And receive them too! Just amazing! A new paradigm: white, makes calls, receives calls, you can go to iTunes... ZOMG! I'm so happy to be alive to see this day!!!

Disclaimer: The iPhone is nice. Expensive, but nice. All this fuss about a white frigging phone is pathetic. Yes, I said it. I'm talking about the circus, not about the qualities of the phone. Probably humankind deserves all the hardships nature will throw at us for being stupid, but I digress... It's white! Hallelujah!
It's not only/. - It's all over the media, specialized, general, yellow... I don't know if they really think this is newsworthy or Apple has so much influence to create journa-vertisements all over the place, or perhaps both.
Coal will eventually peak, too. And if coal consumption increases due to coal for liquefaction, the peak will be reached sooner. And coal prices will soar. I just hope for the best, really. Where is cold fusion when you need it? Damn Laws of thermodynamics!
That may be so, but some politicians, analysts and CEOs are then very good at pretending they do believe oil won't run out in a century and/or alternatives will be found fast. Anyways, the IEA recently acknowledged that peak of conventional (easy, cheap) oil had happened already http://www.energybulletin.net/stories/2010-11-11/iea-acknowledges-peak-oil . We may find alternatives, but economic growth is heavily dependent on cheap oil, which is becoming scarce fast. I guess nuclear power plants are going to stay with us for a while, even after the Fukushima incident and subsequent panic.
Well, let's see. Now we have stable release, beta release, aurora release and nightly release, right? Which is similar to --but not the same as-- the former stable release, beta release, alpha/Minefield/nightly. I guess we'll get used to the new status quo. Nitpick: the icons for nightly and aurora make sense, but the icon for beta is the same as the icon for stable.
Also, I was using Minefield 4.2a1 and 2 updates ago it digi-evolved to Nighly 6.0a1 + new icon. Surprising. Then I found out about the new version scheme.

I think it's more like "Land of the free market and home of the brave new corporation-controlled world."

There was a huge spike in radioactivity at reactor #1 from May 22 to 25. I think the readings are from the drywell. http://atmc.jp/plant/rad/?n=1

True, and in France and Spain, common Internet users are "internautes" and "internautas" respectively. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internaute - http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internauta
Think about it. Those terms really give you a feeling that you are navigating through the vast sea of the Net. :)

Does it run Linux?
My old Nokia had interchangeable, fancy shells. How's that feel Jobs? Bwahahahahaha. Oh, and it still works, and doesn't get viruses. Bwahahahahaha.

No one really believes we won't run out.

Let's hope for the best.
or it didn't happen. A working prototype is fine too.
