My VW TDI(Turbo Direct Injection) diesel engine gets 43 mpg with and AUTOMATIC. The 5 speed version gets 50+. and that is real world mpg. Once I can start my own Biodiesel production, I will be green, and still get "MOMILES". Hybrids are not as efficient as advertised, and are slow. Hydrogen is still not practical, but Biodiesel is something we can do NOW.
Adbusters sponsors Buy Nothing Day on Black Friday. They raise money to buy ad space on a major cable channel to promote it. I think it is a small step towards curbing maddened consumerism, but it will take much, much more.
The reason that my network at the office is windows is because, as a GIS and Mapping firm, there are not any robust alternative production softwares. The main vendor has bought into the whole M$ licensing scheme (with much higher prices). One of my career goals is to develope a robust Open Source alternative, therefore aleviating my dependence on Windows. Unfortunately, I am a GIS major, and am just coming into programming, so I have alot to learn to be able to get there. I want to make sure that I create a usable product, not some buggy hacked up code that only sorta works.
Actually, there are satellites pointed at the earth that can "allegedly"(in the classified sense of the word) be used to calculate the height of a curb, and this was several years ago.

So, we will continue the trend of imprisoning a higher percentage of our own citizens than any other country? Why not? Seems to be working great so far, no more drug dealers on the street, no more shoplifting, I can see how much better our society has become from this type of legislature. Can't you????
Sorry, badly structured thought. I meant it to mean that perhaps this debacle in the infringments on the rights of Anonymous Cowards will soon loose steam.....
I started college with the intention of becomming a professional trumpet player, and after switching to hospitality management finally ended up with a Geography degree and a concentration in geographic information systems. Now I am with a small company and am lead programmer\analyst\production manager. I think that a better way for me to go would have been major in Computer Science and minor in Geography, but I just keep learning the CS stuff as well as possible now.

Maybe after this war is over we can find some of these babies in surplus, and put some high performance hardware in em.
