I agree with your first paragraph though it'll be several decades for oil to realy run out.
But I think this is a good time to buy a new car and house and regfrigarator.
Because (especially for Americans) chances are great you can get a car with like double the mileage, that you can get a house build that needs hardly any heating and a fridge that's considerably more afficient.
Every time I visit the southern US I am amazed if not disturbed at how badly most buildings are insulated, they'll moan about the cost of the airconditioning but that's still where the ball stops.
Why write up such a paper about the companie's (il)legal activities when it's quite clear the managament expressely supports it/ sees it as a business model?
Get out or be prepared for a long and costly fight!
And are now protecrted by things like the Patriot act that disallows you to share their information and other laws that make cracking illegal in the first place.
They only have to post his information on their servers and the hackers will stay away.
Indeed, (new) forest can count as credit against the emission of carbon from fossile deposits.
The ballance of forest growth vs. loss due to fires or development can be used in calculating a countries behaviour.
So only when Australia would not replant/ allow burned bush or forest to regrow could it possibly become an issue.
The reason why australia didn't ratify kyoto is because kyoto also counts all forest fires as emissions of CO2, because, well, they are emissions of CO2.
Yeah right.
Kyoto is about fossile fuels adding pre historic CO2 to the global atmosphere.
Forest fires are are a form of recycling and not covered by the treaty.
Even though the story is a repeat of one a few months old and it's lacking substance I'll give a hint:
The earth's crust is thinnest below some oceans and hence there it's easyer to drill into the hotter areas.
But that's aswell where the problem for this project lies, the extreme temperatures can and will melt the drill bit unless these guys have some new and very smart technology.

Because on an emulator you haven't paid $0.25 to play it.
Indeed, in 1980 I was working in Italy and the hotel we stayed in had a PAC-MAN console in the bar.
You had to stand in line to get a turn.
After a few weeks we found out that a good and strategic kick against it would give a free play, since then it quickly became boring.
About some other comments; yes girls liked it too, the receptionist Christina was by far the best at it.
Why do I remember that name after all these years?:)
The article is xenophobic and patronising to the British.
Bull, you are way too touchy
It's you that makes the connection of British = bad service.
The OP says British Telecom = bad service.
Yes he compares with the US, that's only logic as it is his natural benchmark
In The Netherlands we've seen similar problems when switching ISP's.
But the OPTA, the independent regulator, has been able to set some strict quality criteria and the phone company that owns the lines has lately become a lot more respondent.
Of course it did take some moaning by consumer groups to make it happen.
Was there any point in this article other than to create tension on Slashdot?
Ignoring your ID I'm tempted to ask how new you are around here:-)
Surprisingly (controversially?) enough, some EULAs forbid public criticism - I wonder if such clauses would ever be found valid in court, I seriously hope not - judges should declare void in whole any EULA that includes any anticonstitutional demands.
In many countries EULAS are not worth the media they're on, why not do the test in such a place?
Doesn't matter if the security breach originated from the user's lack of understanding of the most basic security concepts.
It does matter, the person that did the editing has a professional obligation to understand the limits of the software he is using.
And like all things in an organisation like the military his supervisor should have checked the person's (and his tools) suitability before handing over this task.
My fear is that knee-jerk reactions to incident like this someday could be as extreme as invoking the DMCA against copy and paste.
Who cares, this 'discovery' happened outside of US jurisdiction, contrary to the sloppy editing...
I would normally not react to a silly remark like yours but for the fact that some have even moderated it as 'Insightful".
Even though Slashdot is hosted in the USofA it still is an international 'news'/discussion site that -should not/can not- be subject to the rules of a single legal system.
Besides, had you read just the submission, not even TFA, you could have known this stuff is already published world wide, there IS no more confidentiallity to break.
"If a Houston court can examine a case involving a Russian company [Yukos -- MosNews], why can't a Russian file a claim against an American agency with a Russian court?"
But how smart is drilling into the core of the earth? Aren't they asking for one huge volcano?
Such a bore hole is typically only a few centimeters (10-15) across for a depth of several kilometers, the rising lava would cool down and solidify within a few hundreds of meters.
And what about terrorism.
If you'd read TFA you would have known this drilling is a very high tech exercise.
Doing it at several places simultaneously would require the worlds best equipment, even the CIA might notice...
But then, during the cold war some of the worlds largest nuclear explosions were already set off at the bottom of bore holes (a.o. in Nevada) and so far without much damage to anything more than a few kilometers away.
By the way, the story is weird in calling a 1400+ meters hole the third deepest ever drilled.
The oil industry routinely drills more than 6000 meters below the sea floor.

European regulators are also looking at Intel, following complaints from AMD. ®
And now we need someone to take AMD's example to tackle the Microsoft tax.

And the guy with the biggest Nuclear bombs still feels he has God on his side.
A major battle is over but the war is continuing.

Old man Bush recently floated the solution, Jeb will come out of Florida and save The Nation (and the world too).
So only when Australia would not replant/ allow burned bush or forest to regrow could it possibly become an issue.

After downloqading some 50-100 pics FF will lock up.
And the problem is comparable under MS-XP and Linux (Ubuntu & Fedora)
There is a Midnight Commander clone for MS Windows and it works reasonably well.
What a strange question, it's any one's problem when we unnessecarily consume energy or any other non-renewable resource!
(Think before you respond!)
OK...
A new word or concept?

The Dutch don't download porn, they upload it.
Besides, almost half of the array will be in Germany.

You stupid.
But the key question is: Do they offer WiFi?
Because the Americans have Nuclear weapons.
Oh wait...

It really is a shame when only the "geek" have a prevailing attitude towards agencies like the FBI as mistrust and fear, not confidence and respect.
