Industrial scale biomass farming is destroying the eroding the soil. The grassland in the Midwest prairie had uninterrupted millennia to grow and create the soil that grows so much corn and soy today. Iowa has lost 10 inches of topsoil in the last 100 years due to soil erosion caused by industrial farming. Good luck powering your iPad off the corn grown in Iowa when the 8 inches left is gone in the next hundred years and the place literally turns to dust.
What you don't understand is that Putin and most Russians cannot contemplate an independent Ukraine. It destroys the founding myth of Russia and Russian nationalism.
When Putin says this like this please tell me there is nothing to be afraid of from this man and this country.
That might be insightful if by 'pro-Western faction' you actually meant anything. It was not 'pro-Western' policies or governing that cost Yushchenko a second term, it was pathetically weak leadership. And Yanukovich won with a bare majority in a run-off.
Let's not lose sight of the fact that, in US parlance, Yanukovich is a two-time felony loser, twice convicted of aggravated assault and robbery.

But we need bacteria to live and digest food...sterility will kill us as surely as more vigorous bacteria. The real question this story raises is how to adapt spacecraft and spaceflight to create more human friendly environments.
"Big, bloated, inefficient government leads to big, bloated, inefficient corps, with no real innovation or market competition. "
Rarely have I read a more egregious pile of nonsense.
Big government causes big corporations which leads to market inefficiencies? What?
First of all, the more powerful governments are, the more powerful regulation is which *limits* the power and size of corporate power. Let's not forget that Government *represents* the People. Zero marks for electing idiots though...as Americans you should be taking responsibility for making sure your elected representatives do what you want them to.
Secondly, the fact that massive corporations have "no real {incentive to} innovation" and distort "market competition" should be encouraging so-called "Libertarians" towards greater government regulation.
Hmmm...maybe we already have so many of these pharmaceuticals in our water supply through excretion that the test doses aren't good enough any more...like all the supposed estrogen in the water supply through women taking the Pill?
His response to the bill C-61 was pretty much word for word the same. "The free markets will decide if DRM gets used or not"
The problem with "free markets" as implemented IRL is that they are not pro-actively rational.
What we have now is market anarchy regulated (or not) through post-factum lawsuits or criminal investigation.
The fallout of all this for society is this is that we will have DRM whether the market wants it or not because market actors will collude to ensure there is no deviance.
Further, lawsuits and/or criminal investigation will be inhibited by lobbying and, regardless, DRM will be a fact on the ground by that point anyway.
These *are* the final results of their internal brainstorming sessions. But when you're bereft of ideas and logic and honestly don't know what you're doing, these sessions do not generate great ideas. So they float "trial balloons" knowing most of them will go up in smoke.
It's not as if they need to worry about blowing any credibility.
These drives are SATA drives and the FreeAgent drive my sister bought last month has an eSATA interface as well as USB (other models include the so-called FireWire interfaces as well.)
Why use USB with these devices at all, strangling your potential I/O bandwidth?

My problem with this is type of law is when the owner of an unsecured wifi point actively provides me with an address on his network using this exact example, with 'out-of-the-box' settings on the router.
Once the DHCP server ACK's my REQUEST, the owner expressly _grants me access_ by giving me an IP address on his network.
To use the old example of houses, in this case you knock on the door, the owner invites you in and says, "have a seat in the blue la-z-boy called 192.168.99.2".
Is it against the law to have your wireless radio turned on all the time in public places now, "just in case"?

This bodes well for the prospect of any aliens in future being able to decode the Voyager recordings :)

His government has moved swiftly and surely to censor journalist, blunt criticism with intimidation of Universities and just yesterday, assaulting a journalist.
This is not about introducing a forward looking tax law, it's about putting in a law that will be used to bankrupt and criminialise the opposition.
Just like they do in Russia
The man is killing the country so he can kiss Putin's ass. Kills me. :(

Everything going on now is essentially theatre.

So now they finally admit they've not been doing Journalism for a long time now, just turning press releases into articles and marketing them.
What a surprise.
This must be why the 3rd party OS option was removed from the Playstation Slim! SONY *loves* them some customers! {cough}

Exactly how does "which then threw it back out of the solar system" disprove the theory?
In less than 50 years this "super" tuna will mate inter-species and the resultant "Godzilla" will come out from the sea and destroy Tokyo.
"Because the efficient market solution won't work, we're left with inefficient regulatory solutions."
What a load of clap-trap...read this and ignored the rest of the article as it's obvious they don't understand economics.

What are you Americans so bloody afraid of?
Who cares when M$ stops selling XP, the only truly important date is when the last bugfix for XP is released.

Didn't Toshiba just announce a 100Gb flash chip?
How close are we now to studio releases on SD cards? Or other solid state storage?
I notice all the talk is about USB.
