To my knowledge, the US has not invaded Saudi Arabia. But then I don't take mass quantities of hallucinogens, so that might just be the sobriety talking.
So like, is the electricity they are powring this car with when they plug in, like, coming from nowhere? Or is it just as polluting as any other form? Somewhere, coal or something else is being burned to make that electricity. Where is that Sterling Engine when you need it?
I think FedEx has a case here. I went to that site and thought I was at FedEx.com, no lie. For some reason it took longer to type into my browser than fedex.com, but I was still confused between the FedEx brand and this guy's attempt to make furniture.

Check out FeedOnFeeds if you have your own web server. You can access the same content from home or work for reading your feeds. I have a reblog patch that lets you mark articles for including in a feed of your own.
I find it very useful for keeping up with rarely updated Sourceforge projects as SF has feeds for all announcements done for a project. Web comics, news, entertainment, etc. Who wants to waste time going to web sites to see if they've updated? One look at your feed reader will show you what's new, leaving you time for reading more content, or just plain doing something else.
None of these beat Blockbuster's in-store deal with their monthly club. I can have 2 movies out at a time and pay $21 for the month. I walk in with the movie I'm returning, grab the new movie I want, hand them both to the clerk, and away I go with the new movie. Beat that for turn-around time. With my wife and the kids all watching different things, we have a new movie going in and out of the home every day, but I probably see a movie twice a week depending on what's been rented.
Plus they are a few blocks from my home, so I can do it on the way to work, or on the way home, or whenever. =)
Remembering back from when I did Netflix, their movie library was really great, but it sucked when they listed the movie as "long wait time".
Yay! Now web sites can be hit by 100x the irrelevant search engine traffic instead of a few like Yahoo and Google that actually matter. This is a DoD in the making. I'm sure there will be more than a few that decide to ignore robots.txt.
Perhaps if that family was not complicit in supporting the Japanese war machine they would have been spared this horror. But the bomb is needed when there exists a group so radically inclined to destroy the world that there is no other way to convince them to drop their arms than to show them the cummulative image of destruction that they are pursuing. I see day coming when we'll be reading these same stories by citizens of Bushehr and Isfahan.
I think the new RSS wheel finally wins this one. I never got into IE Channels or Pointcast because it was all about geewhiz graphics and not enough about the content. Now I subscribe to 60+ feeds, which I read through Feed On Feeds which I always keep in the first tab of Firefox (thanks, Mini-T). The feeds are exactly what I want: only one inserts advertisement-only content (SpaceDaily through that damn NewsIsFree), the other handful that advertise are smart enough to use Google RSS adverts.
Lack of resources is going to be a major problem for them. There is a real lack of clean water in most of that country. Do a little Googling and you'll see that rural areas have been rioting. Unless they can maximize the efficiency of operations in the rural areas things are going to fall apart fast. They're becoming nothing more than a glorified North Korea. But they are not sitting down about it. I read about a number of model village/city projects they are doing. If they are open about whatever they develop, it will benefit the world in general and they will rightly score major long-term points.
I wonder at what point we'll stop having them manufacture our barbie dolls and salad shooters. South America is right at our doorstep and offering to build factories and hand them jobs would do wonders. As there is an issue with South American sweat shops (there seems to be no issue with Chinese sweat shops?) that doesn't seem likely.
Easy! To get around all these little rules, we'll just hijack a bunch of PCs to our dirty work for us. I'm sure the owners will not mind helping out for a truly noble cause. Then, we'll use servers in countries with questionable laws to control the DDOS. Then, to raise money to help us out in our quest, we'll use these servers to also mail out requests to help us secure our target US$20mil by sending us a paltry US$20k. We've got the spammers beat in will power AND on the moral high ground!

Atom 1.0 vs RSS 2.0

Because browsing around hundreds of web sites for news is a pain in the ass. Let the information flow to YOU. It's all about structuring the info so you can do more with it beyond simple screen scraping.
I'm not talking about just Dilbert comics or other entertainment outlets. Imagine notification of software updates. Email is lousy for this sort of thing when you get hundreds of emails per day. It's not searchable and it sits in your own account. Another benefit of RSS is control over the lists. You ever get an email from someone you know that didn't really come from someone you know, yet had a nice virus payload attached? This doesn't do that. Any info that comes from the RSS channel is something YOU have subscribed to and unsubscribing is dead easy.
Further, with an RSS Reader I use called Feed On Feeds, you can access its mySQL backend from any other software to do what you want with the information streams. There are many other readers that use this same philosophy. If you MUST have mailing lists, well, then mail out from there; not all of these sites have mailing lists and this would make a great way to present it in that format. You can reblog select posts, or a channel combining a number of other channels.
Perhaps the UCS is also considering a clean energy source powering the ethanol plant. The current plants may not be using clear tech now, but in time that would change given enough ethanol flowing in the marketplace.
The question is, how well will that market deal with things like the inevitable droughts. Will we be flexible enough to use another crop, or even another tech to make up for the shortfall, or will we be skating on razor thin margins from now on, dealing with rolling blackouts, etc?
You have an old version of ssh. Please hie thee to http://www.openssh.org/ and compile yourself something recent and secure. And be sure to set these up: AllowUsers usernamehere PermitEmptyPasswords no PermitRootLogin no
My logs have been increasingly filling up with these lately but they are all denied.
It's the principal of the thing. Why latch the Nintendo like a parasite onto a PC? If the thing has the option to work with a standard wireless hub, then that's good. Advertise that, not this frankenstein adapter that will cause most games to lag out.
I remember Mosaic being the revolutionary web app, not Netscape! What's this crap? Selective memory, or purposeful revisionism to get AOL sponsorship $$$ for OSTG?
But isn't that also the logical conclusion one comes to when asked if genes can be altered by smoking? What happens when you subject the body to very high levels of substances, like sugars? What continues to function properly, and what doesn't? Do things replicate to new cells like they used to, or are the bio processes immune to that?
The router plugs into a USB 2.0 port and transfers your computers internet connection wirelessly into your next-gen Nintendo devices.
This is no good. Your Nintendo equipment is now dependent on owning a PC in order to have internet play? Are they advertising the "extra PC" as an additional costs you will need to make in order to play on the internet? Bet they gloss over that one.
NOTE: In order to use the controllers on your Nintendo game system, we will require you to connect a special module to your blender and run it while playing any games.
Have SEEN how much candy and sweets these people eat? I would not be surprised if the result of this study was the finding that mass consumption of sweets was as genetically altering as smoking tobacco products. It seems that society replaces one vice with invented others.

A lot of this was all covered in Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy. It seems like there was lots of good science in those books.

Be more selective about what you buy. I honestly don't find a lot of what's out there to be worth $60. But there are a few gems.
Plus that encourages me to finish the games and play the hell out of them, rather than skipping around a few unfinished games.
