We'll run out of it eventually? Why? Are the beaches disappearing?
Point two is well-taken, though. Organics may well be faster.

"Justice Steven's opinion for the Court note that arguments favoring the ratification of the Constitution advanced in the Federalist Papers were published under fictitious names. Justice Stevens said "quite apart from any threat of persecution, an advocate may believe her ideas will be more persuasive if her readers are unaware of her identity. Anonymity thereby provides a way for a writer who may be personally unpopular to ensure that readers will not prejudge her message simply because they do not like its proponent." Stevens concluded "Under our Constitution, anonymous pamphleteering is not a pernicious, fraudulent practice, but an honorable tradition of advocacy and of dissent. Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the majority. "
What are you talking about? How do you construe this article to be about competition? Amateurs (such as this guy with the detector) make uncounted contributions to the field. This *IS* cooperation. You don't really believe that pro astronomers are wasting all that 'scope and computer time trying to predict auroras or looking for new comets, do you? That falls mostly to the little guy.
And BTW, why do you think they threw "enormous amounts of money" at the space race, if they weren't in competition???

This goes hand in hand...

Better to ask, why is the US such a taget for terrorism?
Maybe, just maybe, if the US didn't attempt to dictate policy in other autonomous countries, their activists/fanatics wouldn't try to kill Americans overseas (or at home).
Maybe, the era of the US playing big brother to the rest of the world is over!

Oops. Yep, that's the one. I thought it was a joke, at first!

I don't know about their email security, but I like their philosophy. Check out http://www.flex.net. I wish there was something similar in the states.

I always thought that the original source of email (or e-mail, if you prefer) stemmed from the term "echo mail," not "electronic mail."
