"India is in the same boat (though it really is about bringing their ppl up to a higher standard, not about being a superpower)"
a problem with this statement is that according to "An Inconvenient Truth", the CO2 emissions per capita, and even on a total basis in India are much lower that those of the US
IIRC, there was a difference of 10 times in the per capita emissions b/w US and India
Ideally, shouldnt all the countries have similar per capita emissions??
US should reduce theirs to Indian levels and then help India to use the same tech it used (possibly with the sharing of research costs, maybe not) to increase the standard of living here without impacting the CO2 levels..
I am using India and US as examples cause they are the only 2 I remember from the film, as US was one of the highest emitters, and India one of the lowest. same can be applied for other countries having a large diff. in CO2 o/p
and the acid rain would then destroy the power plants, vehicles and homes, so that new ones can be built which would use only clean energy, utilize space efficiently and also, the population would have reduced by a lot..
soon after that we could transform to a star trek like society with infinite energy and no concept of money..
how about making an Iphone emulator for the more powerful android devices? then just sell the same iPhone stuff to android users, but you get 30% more profit from them as the developers dont have to pay the iTunes fee..
"The project has grown in size and scope. Originally planned as a 300-page discussion of sous vide, an increasingly popular restaurant technique of cooking food in vacuum-sealed bags in warm water baths, the book has swelled to 1,500 pages that will also cover microbiology, food safety, the physics of heat transfer on the stove and in the oven, formulas for turning fruit and vegetable juices into gels, and more."
Has gone from win 2000 to vista, how long before it cuts the bloat and comes to Win 7??
but in the case of TPB, and other public sites, noone really tracks ratios. Even if you limit your upload to 5kBps while DL'ing at 200+ you wont get throttled/banned..
" just as effective if not better for finding peers", then why did they wait for the ruling to change over? why not just switch over a long time back?? especially if they are better..
cable TV thats $5/month is with 80 channels having most of the news , infotainment and national channels.
I can also get IPTV(with timeshift, so effectively no ad's as long as its not live material) for $20/month with 135 channels(incl. many international ones) and 256 kbps unlimited net--dont believe me? check out airtel.in
or DTH @ $9/month with all the channels legally available here(India)(180+ channels)
on your 1st point, the users did buy the phone alongwith the OS and any apps. if the OS is advt. as ad supported then its OK, else its not
as for your 2nd point, yeah, I didnt think of that, but with DVD's you get the stuff even later and still its more expensive, so yeah, the advt. subsidies are even more. As for the sports, who would make up for the price of the rights(runs into 6-7 figures i guess) if not the advertisers..
you did buy the TV and FM radio, but you did not buy the services
its like you dont get ad's when you are browsing the TV's setup menu, only when you are watching channels that you get ad's.
I know that you did pay for the cable and still get ad's but thats a different discussion(you can avoid the ad's by buying the TV shows you want at full price on DVD's rather than watching the ad subsidized version. after all, cable TV costs $5/month and TV series can tun up to $2-$3/episode, so as long as you follow 1 or more show on TV, cable is cheaper than DVD's, hence proving that it is ad subsided)
rates are based on a conversion rate of $1=INR 50, actual rate is about 46, so not much of a diff..
could be an inbuilt system in/. to repeat some imp. articles, just incase some ppl missed them. guess they could calculate the no. of comments by unique commenter s and the stories which have the lowest are reposted..
and do not license it to anyone else. Keep this technology exclusively to yourself. Apple devices already says "it just works", now they can say "it just work like a TV"
even better if the prof. uses the slides in the manner you mentioned, along with the normal chalk method for any other explanations as demanded by the class.. I have some professors who do this and its extremely useful..
thanks 2 the replies below, i got the link, but shouldn't it be in the summary itself rather then having to go to a particular link in the summary, and then looking for the link , not in the article, but rather mixed up with other links in the sidebar..

though its about a different article, but still PLS IMPLEMENT THIS - whenever possible, direct link to what the summary is about should be compulsory
already mentioned here

why not simply have a warning like google and firefox give you if u open a harmful page, and give a choice to continue??
wont "Internets" be incorrect as internet is a collection of networks, so Internets=collection of networks=internet
internet after all is a network as well.
