The hardware store analogy ignores my first point,
being a public service/infrastructure. If I own a
toll bridge, and it's the only way to get across
town, I cannot ban my enemies, people I've fired
or those who complain about unfair practices.
Concessions were made when the bridge was built,
and it is there to serve, even if I get to make
money.
We need to revisit the concept of corporate charters,
and the idea that businesses are allowed to exist
only in so much as they serve the public good.
While the law may treat corporations like people (and we won't get into that stupidity) there are certain ideas that apply.
Even for individuals: your rights end when they infringe upon mine.
This company enjoys government protections and is at berst an oligpoloy, it owes certain levels of service. What if your water district decided to restrict or cut-off water to all their blonde-haired customers? Because some of them got green hair from the chlorine and decided to file a class action?
Firstly, your examples have nothing to do with global warming. Second local cooling is not "an exception", global warming means the Earth's *mean* temperature rises. This says nothing of specific ground conditions. Some places will be warmer, others cooler, others a little of both. Global warming induces greater extremes be pumping more energy into the weather machine.

While I agree with the gist, you are wrong on some points and must have been in a hole for others. no Star Wars kid?!
AYB is certainly a fad, I mean it crossed over into the real world, as did Hamsterdance for that matter; though they did not note it, it was featured in an Earthlink commercial.
How the hell does this article qualify as interesting? And what's the big deal? Some guy with no clue copies an idea he once saw to produce a less usable form of one of the most recognizable/universal data structures on the planet.
Are catch the new series on PBS (while it exists). First episode was last week and they went over that, but PBS tends to rerun. Check the website for you local schedule.
>"Maybe I can feed my family for one more week"? So I'll just leave 2 tons of fresh meat here to attract flies, hyenas and rot. Don't get me wrong, I'm not pro bush meat but your "logic" is astounding.
Yup, that's why in places with a mixed power supply and deregulation your "battery bank" is the grid... you're credited for your excess and you can consume it in proxy as dirty-power later.
Do some research, Japan already uses nuclear power. And while 3 Mile Island and Chernobyl are well-known, Japan doesn't exactly have a sparkling record.
...and if you knew what the filename was. Oh, haven't RTFA?:-D It's a decent spec except that the XML is kinda verbose and uses tags instead of attributes. The other big things being the hardcoded limits on number of files, the security of only indexing directories below that where the map is, and the ability to name maps whatever you want.
We are not lacking for life of human life on this planet. OTOH restoring whose desctruction, many agree, set us back hundreds of years is arguably a very noble goal, so as to serve as warning against other religious fervor and opression of the arts and sciences.

You can rent a car when you're younger than 25 at most places, but you'll pay at least twice as much.

If it were actual data you could FOIA it.
