Yeah, and I get tired of the BS predictions from pseudo scientists who don't really have any idea what the net impact of pollution is going to be. I've been hearing knee jerk predictions for two decades. Add to that the asinine concept that humans could possibly do anything "bad for the planet" since we know for a FACT that at least 2-3 times 99.9% of all life has been wiped out before and didn't have any trouble adapting and thriving eventually.
You want a better environment? Talk those GREENIE WEENIES into selling nuclear power to the public as the best near-term solution to the problem.
Regulations that ping news outlets for being irresponsible and not reporting the events most relevant to the electorate. Chances are that there are tons of important news items about your local government sthat are being ignored to bring you the latest Britney/KFed update. News organizations have the privilegeresponsibility of informing the public. Businesses aren't humans and don't share the same rights. In practice, in the American society, they have greater rights than the citizens.
Most of the evolution/revolution has come in the form of layout. Yes, many authors want the ability to create very advanced documents that feature images, figures, tables, columns, rotated text, etc. You can't compare this to Word Perfect for DOS. It would be a little more appropriate to compare it to Quark Express. This has resulted in a complex tree of options in the menu. first they tried solving the problem by hiding infrequently used options - to the consternation of many users. The Ribbon Bar is their next attempt. It think the Ribbon succeeds in accomplishing that goal.
The suit contends that Apple unfairly restricts consumer choice because it does not load onto the iPod the software needed to play music that uses Microsoft's copy-protection standard, in addition to Apple's own.
As far as I'm considered, this is a stupid argument. Slam Sony instead. How about a $400 DVD plaver that won't play MP3 file.
Jackson just wants an audit of the payments for the second two movies. The studio wants to sit back and refuse. I sugget they are hiding something. Probably cooking the books.
What kind of dork would care about how well Aero runs on non-supported ancient hardware? Learn what part bloggers play in the product adoption lifecycle then thy to post a useful response.
Sounds like smart advertising to me. You want those early adopters? Get the bloggers buzzing. If you question the integrity of a particular blogger then stop reading them. If anything MS is brave to do this. They must really believe that their product will generate a buzz if these bloggers get their hands on them. I don't hear you complaining about all the bloggers who are crapping on Vista even though they are only reviewing screenshots or Beta releases.
The silly thing is that cars currently track fuel level and miles driven - it would cost them about 2 cents per car to have another to calculate true MPG. Some cars do track a useless minute-to-minute gas mileage but it isn't terribly useful.
And then you have the revisionist Americans who confuse the world as they believe it was/is with the world that was/is. OR the ones who complain about nobody doing anything then criticizing anyone who tries to do something.
The third world has already solved the problem: bicycles, mopeds and motorcycles. Carry less mass. If we spent a tiny fraction of the money we spend on energy research and energy politics on designing roads safer for two-wheeled transportation we would be much better off. You can go to someplace like Cambodia or China and see when the future holds. You can fit a lot more motorcycles and mopeds on a given road.
Actually, this is not true. For the most part contractors and subcontractors are adapting existing systems (production and development) to meet criteria for use in a new system. They don't reinvent the jet engine each time. The same goes for every other system on the platform.
The govt is paying for planes, not the software. e.g. would you expect Dell to had over the source to all the programs running on your everyday computer.
The US government doesn't have the right to give them the source. The JSF is a product that is being developed for the military by Lockheed Martin and major partners BAE Systems and Northrop Grumman. Would you expect Dell to give the source to every program installed on it's computers to any customer on demand? Why would this plane be any different. There are many proprietary software programs being used that are very protected trade secrets. The UK is part of the EU and giving them those secrets would be tantamount to giving away literally billions of research and development dollars.
If you actually bothered to read the news for the last 4 years the plan has been to train the Iraqi military/police to handle internal security. We have been progressively handing over duties. What the "cut and run" argument was about was setting HARD schedules. In war you don't usually telegraph your moves. But you don't really care about that...please resume your Bush/war bashing rants.
Heard this on the radio on the way into work. Actually sounds really reasonable and plenty of examples abroad on how to do it. But then again, I almost never use cash now. Federal Reserve Debit Cards?
Oddly enough I was just reading up on hydrofoils and came across research into this topic. Apparently the Russians have built several ships using a similar concept called Air Cavity Ships (ACS): The creation of a new type of high-speed ships, the Air Cavity Ships (ACS), is based on the successful usage of the air-ventilation aimed at reducing frictional resistance. The air is supplied under a specially profiled bottom, so that a steady air layer is formed, separating a part of the bottom from contact with the water (see pictures above). Such a flow is named artificial cavitation; it has much in common with the natural cavitation, but it is able to generate large stable cavities in wide range of speeds including low speeds. The one of advantages of an ACS is the low gas consumption required to maintain the cavity (ten times less than that for SES/hovercraft).
Gas Prices brought the Global Warming issue to the forefront, not Gore. When prices at the pump started hitting $3/gal the anti-fossil fuel lobby caught a lot of extra attention. Add to that the unbelievable profits of the oil companies and Iranian-Venezuelan political rhetoric and consumer hate/concern peaked. Now gas prices are lower and you don't hear as much.
If only 50% or the green folks would stand behind the only reasonable alternative, Nuclear Power, then things might get better. But stating something is bad without giving a viable alternative is not going anywhere. Almost every alternative to internal combustion engine requires cheap electricity.

Looks to me more like a list of rural states and states run by commie, leftist, reglation happy, business killing liberals from the population densities. You reap...
Here are a few equations to ponder:
legal != moral
might != right
powerful != just

These arguments are EXACTLY the arguments used with every major innovation in the past.
DOS vs Windows anyone?

I agree. We should use the elderly and convicted felons as guinea pigs too.

Actually, BAE is a multinational corporation.

We're talking about hundreds of companies. There are tons of components that go into the JSF.
