I wasn't aware of that but a little digging found that is was probably the only bright spot in the American Jobs Creation Act 2004.
President Bush's environmental record is so poor that he's made it easy for future presidents to appear green. On the other hand, if they want to outdo him, they'd pretty much have to rape the country in order to impress anyone.
Nice try. The definition of "tantamount" includes the word EQUIVALENT - which means "equal" or "the same as".
In other words, YOU believe this to be rape, which is fine - that's your opinion but the "rather pathetic attempt at a strawman argument" falls squarely on your shoulders as you are using doublespeak to couch your meaning.
If you believe this to be rape, say so and don't backpedal.
This company http://www.bioxcorp.com/ uses a process, developed at the University of Toronto that they claim can produce BioDiesel much faster than previous methods and is price-competitive with petroleum diesel.
I hope that they will start licensing their technology soon - this could be just the kickstart needed expanded use of BioDiesel in North America. It would be nice to see more auto manufacturers selling diesel passenger cars here and promoting the use of Biodiesel. While refiners have a mandate to reduce the sulfur content of petro-diesel within the next few years, these reductions can be achieved TODAY using Biodiesel blends.
Also, it was President Bush's promotion of his Hydrogen initiative that really drove home the fact that he either has NO concern for environmental concerns or he just doesn't get it.
Since Canada's population is one tenth of the US', how about when it gets to 100,000? The US has provided us with a huge number of immigrants and that's likely to increase, at least for the next 4 years. And a great number of them don't speak either English or French - they speak American;) I would like to point out that, according to the CIA World Factbook, Canada's net migration per 1000 inhabitants is much higher than Americas: 3.41 (US) vs 5.96(CA).
We do have a massive border with the United States and,thanks to the Republican victory, expect to see an increase in immigration, legal or otherwise, from the US.
Having got the major chunk of the marketshare, they now have time to fix it. This is a longstanding M$ tactic ( probably used by many other companies in many industries ) and, if you're profit-driven, it's a smart move, despite what you or I may think of it. That is: get the business FIRST, fix the problems LATER. Lesson learned? I doubt it; for them, it doesn't make sense to do things any other way. The most that can be expected is that their design process and bugfix methods improve.
Prostate cancer is a significant cause of death among men and is hard to avoid - be born female ( whereupon breast cancer becomes a major concern) or be castrated before age 40. It's a matter of degree - not a heck of a lot of men are worried about breast cancer although, thanks to the efforts of Richard Roundtree, this is probably changing. Here what I think is important - are rare or endangered birds being killed at a significant rate? Why are so many of the "concerned" groups funded by industries or interests that are antagonistic to wind power?
Perhaps you could use the time you saved by not registering to read a little Kenneth Arrow or Paul Samuelson. A liberal education isn't necessarily a bad thing nor is a conservative one necessarily good.
Of course, that is if you're not feeling too lazy.

A lot of the bigwigs in the Middle Eastern terrorist worlds come (came?)from Egypt and Saudi Arabia - Osama bin Laden is but one of many.
Perhaps but there also the court of public opinion / awareness - a bit harder to ignore.
Money that ends up in terrorist hands come from lots of sources. I would say that the biggest source of income for them would be fossil fuels.
Time to stop buying foreign oil, wouldn't you say?
Yes. The FOSS community will file a CIVIL suit against the offenders.
Probably one of the most insightful things said about GIMP vs Photoshop on Slashdot.
I don't think any one interface will EVER please everyone and we need to be reminded of that occasionally.
What brand and model do you use?

As a plus, that site you linked to is hosted on Mandrake Advanced Extranet Webserver.
Very cool.
Nice to see that they eat their own dogfood.

That's exactly why I stick to using M$ to mean Microsoft.

Reports I've read state that a contributing factor was cost-cutting at the plant that was ordered by the parent company.
She's good but nowhere near Ken's league. I'd be REALLY impressed if she became a 5-day champion.
No kidding. What idiot thought an LNG powered car was environmentallhy friendly - and SAFE!?
Not my kind of people, that's for certain.
Operating Systems have to be ported to Xen and, as yet, there isn't a working FreeBSD port although it has been promised.

That would be an establishment where the playing of discs ( as opposed to disks or diskettes) leads inexorably to awful dancing
Slashdot definitely needs a DNRTFL mod ( Did Not Read The Fucking Article )
Which genotypes or phenotypes would these be? Are their offspring sterile, as are the offspring of horses and donkeys/zebras?
