Not for airplanes, as the fossil fuel burns away, so the total plane weight get significantly lighter at the end of its journey (sometimes half the weight).
I'd think for an airplane it would be have to be at least x1.5 the density.

The part you missed, before ranting on, was all mobile was off, voice, and your SMS. Different type of event that day, mobiles off to stop any other attacks. The internet was up - you know you can use the internet without mobile networks right?
I lived in London in 2005 when the terror attacks happened there, and my morning commute took me through kings cross. That day with the mobile network switched off, it was hard to let people know I was ok, know if my girlfriend was, and many other people I knew took. Sure there was landlines to call direct if you knew where people were, or email as a bit of a broadcast I'm ok, but something like this would have been far better.
Is it just me or when did "mn" surpass "m" for million? "100mn pedestrians" looks like it should be a measurement in milli-newtons per pedestrians - I'm sure the imperial equivalent is slugs per servants.
Actually, for me, well I too had an early iPod, then gf a mini, then the 1st genNano (still my favorite - awesome size, weight, function, etc), a 1st gen iPhone, the a replacement Nano 6th gen, but when the time came to replace the dead iPhone... Well I had a choice, iPhone, or iPad & boring old phone. I went iPad 3G, and really it's a brilliant bit of kit, far better for commuting on trains etc for reading. I too had a laptop (1st gen Air - a long list of Mac kit either side), but I found I didn't use the Air any more... So I sold it, replaced with a mini, screen, etc, and haven't missed it at all. So yeah, it's had not to lust after the next shiny apple thingy.... But the iPad is really a great piece of kit - even better than that newton 2100 I had (although that had replaceable batteries at least! But it's corners we're way to pointy)
Actually, I a particularly English way, there is a separate force, City of London Police, for the City. But the City is quite small, and apart from St Paul's you'd be lucky to have anything a random outsider to London would consider London in it... Like Big Ben, Buckingham Palace etc... They are covered by the Met. The City Police cover the square mile and not much more.

I'm not a MS fanboy, so I have my doubts that they will pull this off well, but...
I can see how this will work (and takes fight to google a bit more). However there will be a load of sites now that will overlap (e.g. Hotmail & Yahoo Mail)... quesiton is, will this mean a lot of consolidation or will they stay diverse and unique???
I think the reason why Howard refused to go along with this "sorry" business is that he foresaw the "you now need to compensate us with lotsa money" business that is now following. Initial media reports are that a billion dollars is not quite enough.
I agree, he most likely he avoided saying sorry out of fear of a fiscal impact.
He probably didn't get that most people involved wanted first and foremost for the governament to admit they did something wrong, that what was forced upon them was wrong, and that by Howard not saying sorry it implies that the actions were correct.
And again, I agree, bilions for losing your parents, culture, and identity is probably not enough.
I'm and Aussie, lived overseas now for more than 5 years, and have lived with people's attitude of Australia sliding down with stuff like this, us back peddling out of the Kyoto agreement that we helped set up, not simply saying sorry for things we have done wrong, and taking asylum seekers not to civilised facilities in Australia, or straight back to where they came from, but rather to dump them on a legally convenient little island made of bird crap in the pacific for more than a year.
Since then Rudd has come along, and I see Australia in the news here in the UK for things seen more positive in the international areana. What's Rudd done so far since elected in November? well he's; * Ratifying the Kyoto Protocol (Rudd's first official act) * Indigenous & Reconciliation (Former prime minister John Howard continually refused during his 11-and-a-half years in power to say "sorry" to Aboriginal Australians; Rudd has promised to make an apology to the "stolen generations" in his first term of government) * Renewable Energy Target: 20% by 2020 * and now this on ID cards.
I'm getting prouder by the day to be an Australian =D
I think that you're missing the point here... Its not that money is being diverted from cancer to hair, rather its money diverted from shiny wheels for a Porche to hair gunk, i.e. its the market working correctly directing money to where there's profit.
Now if the government that I pay taxes too was spending money on making shiny Porche wheels a little lighter rather than trying to cure cancer, I'd be pissed... but private companies just making some money selling tatt to joe public??? Like I care.
Hmm it was only a couple of months ago that Apple announced, to its developers and the world, the "iTV" (also the name of a UK TV channel - gasp - the horror, what will they do!) , which then this week changed to Apple TV.
Now Apple announces the iPhone to the world (also the name of an existing product - gasp - the horror, what will they do!)... Hmmm me thinks the "Apple Phone" or similar is on its way...

My 42% off MacBook Air arrives today... =D
At the moment of discovery, they were heard to say:
"OMG Monkeys!"
... we can now build a program to hack it and build are own programs! yeah!
I'm going to call it "Gaolbreak"

Your knee jerk answer assumes, as Howard did for years, that all people want is money.
As I said, sometimes billions is not enough... and its not always about money.

Your right, I should have said, take a $400M asset and then then put it underground in a really safe place for an earthquake prone island...
At the end of TFA it says cost will be $405M... all that for a saving of $9M in electricity. That's about a 2% yearly return - pants.
If its security, then maybe, but in comparison to the depreciation on $405M of computer hardware, the Green IT is just sales gumph.
