  1. Plan B? Contraction and Convergence on U.S. Continues Opposition to Kyoto Environmental Treaty · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Maybe a strategy for fairly sharing the rights to emit carbon dioxide worldwide has a chance? The Contraction and Convergence plan developed by Aubrey Meyer at GCI seems reasonable...

  2. World's Deepest Cave List on World's Deepest Cave Explored Further · · Score: 5, Informative

    For anyone interested, Bob Guilden of the National Speleological Society (NSS) keeps a list of the worlds deepest caves on his website at:

    http://www.pipeline.com/~caverbob/wdeep.htm

    and the NSS American Caving Accidents website always makes for a realistic read.....

    http://caves.org/pub/aca/

    If you really are interested in caving in North America, instead of taking the joe sixpack approach, contact a local grotto: you're bound get taken on a real caving trip.

    cheers

  3. Mine Reclamation on Group of Microbes Change Dissolved Gold to Solid · · Score: 1

    If somone could figure out how to selectively extract precious metals out of this mess we wouldn't need another hard rock mine in the US for a LONG time, plus our watershed may still have some hope; its probably too late though. The sad part is that, our leaders are more interested in sucking corporate dick while the taxpayers cover defaulted reclamation bonds. This place could be a really great place if there were only some accountibility.


  4. Re:qwest dsl on A Study on Regional DSL and Cable Speeds? · · Score: 1

    In Montana,
    Qwest only sells service in Helena.
    Just like all the rest, you can get lots of speed if you're willing to pay.

    640down/272up - $30 + isp charges
    640down/544up - $60 + isp charges
    960down/816up - $70 + isp charges
    1.28down/1.08up - $80 + isp charges (~$100)
    4.48down/1.08up - $150 + isp charges (~$120)

    likewise, their isp charges go up depending on the speed on the DSL line provisioned. Static IPs are extra.
