  13. The real funny part on USDOI Goes 100% Microsoft · · Score: 1

    The real funny part is that the entire staff of the OCIO (Office of the Chief Intelligence Officer) has already been exempted from the M$ requirement so they can keep running the various unixes their network support folks won't give up. It's basically the same way in the very large government agency I work for also. The inside joke is that the DOJ gave us to M$ as a part of the settlement.

  21. used books on Authors Guild To Members: De-link Amazon.com · · Score: 1

    I've used the option to purchase a "used" copy of several fairly expensive textbooks, barely out-of-date technical books, etc. In every case I saved 20-50% off the cover price and the books have shown up in near-mint condition.

    Does Amazon make as much off the sale of used items through affiliated book sellers as it would selling the latest Stephen King pulp? Probably not. Do I care? Not really.

  23. Quote from the environmentalists, circa 1971 on Larsen Ice Shelf Collapses · · Score: 1

    "I believe that increasing global air pollution, through its effect on the reflectivity of the earth, is currently dominant and is responsible for the temperatiure decline of the past decade or two." (Reid Bryson, "Environmental Roulette," Global Ecology: Readings toward a Rational Strategy for Man, John P. Holden and Paul R. Ehrlich, eds, 1971)

    "The cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people in poor nations. It has already made food and fuel more precious, thus increasing the price of everything we buy. If it continues, and no strong measures are taken to deal with it, the cooling will cause world famine, world chaos, and probably world war, and this could all come by the year 2000. (Lowell Ponte, The Cooling, 1976)

    Thank you Julian Simon, may you RIP!
