Now everyone is following suit. Comcast, and Cox have, and are (Cox in June) dropping Usenet. I predict that within 2 years, ISPs carrying Usenet will be ancient history.
But what's needed is a way of bolting on a reputation system. Some sort of collaborative filtering (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_filtering).
You put a stack of papers into them, hit the copy 10 times button. It has to print 10 stacks of papers. You want to stand there shoving the paper through 10 times while it does it?
"Well, you see, Google got hacked, they had the code to their global authentication taken, who knows what the hackers found there and what access they've got now... So, we decided to go with Microsoft instead."
It's purpose is to advertise your service. Even 4 billion is a large search space for humans.
It all started with host files. non scalable updating and distributing a flat file with all the people who wanted to run services and to allow other people to use them easily (name vs address) so DNS was invented to allow people to advertise their serv(ers|ices) all by themselves.
If people want to create their own little unusable fiefdoms. Go right ahead.
Yeah we can liquify coal, we have a 250 year supply at current consumption rates
Yeah but consumption rates won't stay at the current levels. As oil supplies deplete, coal usage will increase, and at 3% growth, the coal supply is only 70 years using your figures.
Also. The 250 year supply is almost certainly the total reserve figure. Unfortunately, like oil, coal will rapidly become uneconomic after the peak production rate is reached. Somewhere around half way through the reserves. Which means that there's only about 35 years worth of cheap/easy coal at 3% growth.
It works great for small vocabularies on your cell phone
No. It doesn't.
It works great for small vocabularies on your cell phone if you happen to live in the same neighbourhood as the developer where "everyone talks this way". For the rest of the world, attempting to talk with a nasal American twang in order to get the phone to understand you, is shit.

oil/gas -> fertilizer -> grass/grain -> cow
This is really just a crap way of running a Diesel generator.

Just glance at the wrong woman at the wrong time.
Having a facial scar does mean they were at the wrong place at the wrong time, beyond that you don't know crap.
If nobody is going to buy it, it doesn't matter how great or clever or fuel efficient it is.
How about something like this?
"Well, you see, Google got hacked, they had the code to their global authentication taken, who knows what the hackers found there and what access they've got now... So, we decided to go with Microsoft instead."
Maybe. But who is "you" in this case?
"you" is probably "one". The singular indefinite pronoun.
HTH.

Preventing similar characters from being used to make one domain look like another.
lol.
So how does under reporting reserves keep the price down?
Is that the '"This is all we got guv" nudge nudge wink wink' school of economics?
no it isn't
yes it is
no it isn't.
No no No No NO NO NO! (to Bohemian Rhapsody in the background)
I like irony.
Hey kids, math and facts can be fun! Try them!
You might want to try them yourself. Y'know, understand what the numbers mean. That's pretty much all.
"Reserve" numbers are largely irrelevant and the word "proven" should never be used in connection with Saudi.
How fast can you pump it, and how much energy does it take?
Grow the trees to make the paper that you'd use for these cells then... Don't.
Just burn them.
Solar powered electricity.
Look up coppicing.
The Internet's missing link.
How to sell people lots and lots of cores but only have to actually deliver on one of them.
Neat.

I'd predict that this is probably the end of BP the company.
Really. How sweet. You're aware they make 60 billion usd profit/year.
I predict a slap on the wrist and to be told not to be so naughty in the future.
That is seeing things transmitted from far away!
Amazing!
Blackberry is one word, whereas SMS is three, and therefor far more complex and difficult to use.
For example 'i just got a message on my blacberry ' vs 'i just received a short message service message'. You see just how complex it is?
Clearly RIM were the ones who opened up mobile messaging to the world and deserve full credit.
you just gave gthe economic argument for IPv6.
Nobody gives a shit (about anything) till it starts costing them money. When IPv4 gets expensive, people will move to v6 and sell their v4 addresses.
Don't worry about it.

But we dump it all in the ocean anyway. We don't have to think about it that way.
Look up methane digesters.
Low power per operation and all that?

Laugh! It's funny! Not sad, or terrifying at all. (They have nuclear weapons you know)
As a BitTorrent user, I was shocked that anyone with a box connected to the Internet can spy on what everyone is downloading on BitTorrent."
Why? Have you been downloading really compromising porn?
WTF? It's peer to peer. All they need to do is have a copy and other people download stuff from you... so you know what they're downloading...
