If a reasonably cheap extraction process could be developed there would be nothing stopping people running their cars on LPG, Gasoline, or even Canola oil.
Granted current H2 extraction technology is very immature, in the long run it is more viable than expensive H2 tanks
Basically the old IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) and the later UDMA (Ultra Direct Memory Access) drives are parallel ATA devices, that is data is sent over multiple 'lines' Serial ATA send data over 1 'line' but at a much faster rate.
In theory parallel transmission should be faster, more lines = more bandwidth but in practice serial connections are quicker as they don't suffer from cross talk and other complications (big cables - easily damaged) .
>that is scary about the EU is that its not a democracy
Stop trolling, and do some homework. The EU is a democracy.
In short the EU parliament is democratically elected by all EU citizens. The council (of ministers) who decide policy are national government ministers. Ie all the treasury ministers form the 'treasury council'. The EU commission is just a fancy name for Civil Service.
>there are no checks or balances
What about the Court of Justice, the Court of Auditors and the European Ombudsman? Not forgetting the citizens them selves who elect parliament and indirectly the council.
Linus has decreed that there will be a feature freeze at the end of October (last para). The stable kernel is usually released a couple of months after the feature freeze (bugs permitting).
If someone bothered to look, they could find a patent attorney who would be thrilled to get a patent for Open Source code as long as someone paid the filing fees (for small entities, about $350). I am a registered patent attorney and I would be thrilled to prosecute one of these applications. I'm sure I am not alone.
Paid the filing fees. Why bother? If the code is released under the GPL it will be in the public domain. No need to patent it, the GPL should stop people taking the code and putting it in their proprietary applications. They can still write their own implementation. As with patents - your a lawyer you should know - they can be dodged (write a function thats achieves the same result but using a different method). Sorry dude, openpatents would only benefit the lawyers.
Can't be done. Your comparing *your* interpritation of the book against filmakers. Ofcourse there are going to be differences. Books and films are _different media_.
Having Irulan seduce Feyd was inexcusable.
Go watch the R2 (DVD) release there is some re-editing and Irulan _doesn't_ sleep with Feyd.
I hardly think a link to a random PDF file - which contains only a graph can't be taken as de facto. I think the _real_ root of the matter is that in the EU much more money is spent of citizen welfare; free healthcare/education etc. Making sweeping generalisations such as:
The real root of the matter is that the EU has far too many politicians, bureaucrats and civil servants, too much money, and too little idea or inclination to do anything other than expand their role.
Is fine is you can support it with some evidence... so where is it?
Anyway back on to topic;) There should be no reason why the US can't its just a matter of determination, if Dubbya wants it done then it will happen. Go write to you congressman/Senator rather than bitching in/.
So what if a judge in the US says its ok for Yahoo to sell nazi memorabilia. All the French courts need to do is issue a court order banning all ISPs in France for carrying traffic from auctions.yahoo.com (and its IP addresses).
Why don't sysadmins start blocking off invalid TCP/UDP packets that the router? AFFIK lots DoS attacks use packets with invalid TCP flags, have a look here. If they are dropped by the backbone provider end of problem..... mind you having said that most crackers will simply find another exploit.
I suppose some sort of stateful tracking would be handy as well, but that wouldn't stop DDos.

You don't need Hydrogen. Use a steam burner or some other catalyst.

What Does ATA stand for?
ATA = AT Attachment
AT = Advanced Technology (as in IBM's first PC)

Not so, the EU will fine anyone who breaks the rules Eg:
5 German banks fined at total of 100 million Euro for price fixing.
DaimlerChrysler and Volkswagen AG fined over 100 million Euro.
MS will probably get an EU wide fine of x million per day until they comply.
