Coal will undoubtedly become more important as oil and natural gas are depleted. The problems with coal are as you mentioned, it produces a lot of CO2 and it is more environmentally destructive, relative to oil and gas, to obtain it (especially as the easiest-to-reach coal has already been mined) and to use it.
If by "getting them to customers" you mean the value of transporting, marketing, stocking on shelves, etc., I suppose Marx would say those are also components of labor that go into the total value.
Is there any good tips for compiling X.org on Mac? Would love to know..tried once and it failed halfway through on some obscure undefined variable or something.
The good news is that the dollar will collapse in a supernova fashion and release fused dollars through out the world economy. The bad news is that a financial black hole will be left where it stood.
Good point - I think your parent is just throwing words with negative implications ("deranged" and "nihilist") at the wall and seeing what sticks. Apparently, if people believe in religion too much, they have some kind of overflow and don't believe in anything.;)

I was thinking of getting a security cable that on one end, would go into the laptop, and the other end would be a loop with a bolt, which would go through a single handcuff (cut the other one off with bolt cutters) and then put the handcuff around my wrist. Worse that can happen, they grab the laptop and jerk me along with it. There'll likely be some damage to the laptop in the ensuing melee, but hopefully just the visible handcuff attached to the laptop will be a deterrent.
"I was more saying that the Russians seemed to know the outcome of the vote before the vote. This does not indicate manipulation. It indicates communication between Turkey and Russia. Before votes, I'm sure there are straw polls, gestimates, etc. This was deffinitely shared in some way. Maybe I need to look at the timings of these docs a little closer."
Well, now you're apparently backing down from your earlier claim that the Russians "knew" how the Turkish vote would go, and instead they "guestimated" from polls and the like, which is pretty uncontroversial and something the Iraqis, (or even the geniuses in the White House) could have predicted themselves.
"Bit I say F' the Turks, they've made their bed."
Yeah, I'll bet they are really regretting not supporting the US invasion, considering how well things are turning out for the US there!
"The Russians knew that the Turks wouldn't let the US land the 4ID"
As I recall that was a decision that the Turkish parliament, elected by the Turkish people, made. Or are you claiming that the Russians manipulated that vote?
It's a slippery slope. One day they are building a wireless network, the next minute armed men are chasing 5 year olds. That's why everything the government does is automatically bad.
Good point, you didn't see the Romans wasting money on useless boondoggles like high speed rail and bike paths. Of course, towards the end of the empire, around 400 AD, they started getting infiltrated by liberal hippie barbarians who wasted money on precisely these kind of ill-fated wastes of taxpayer money.
Wow, that is a simple solution! Now every time I log on invisibly I'll just send a message to each of my 15 friends that I want to know I'm actually online. Thanks siliconjunkie!
I'm curious about the motivations of people like you who want to use IM but be "invisible". Presumably you like the fact that you can see that your friends are online, but they can't see that *you* are online. However, if *all* your friends signed in as "invisible", the IM network would look empty; how would you know who you could chat with? So, your behavior relies on other people behaving differently than you - you would like to take advantage of a social network's benefits - having a group of friends to chat with - without contributing back to the network. (By "network" I don't mean the larger system such as Yahoo or AOL, I just mean your smaller list of friends that you chat with).
I see this attitude of "I'll act contrary to the interests of my larger community for my own advantage" in other situations too. For example, spam. Spammers know that if *everyone* spammed, their spam would be even less effective than it already is, since people would simply give up on email. Again, their behavior is only effective because not everyone acts like they do. Another example: you know those little white clown heads people put on their car's antennas? (Maybe it's only around here, no big deal) The point is, people put them on their car antennas so that they can pick their car out of a crowded parking lot. The problem: if everyone put a little marker on their antenna, they would become useless, since all the cars would look the same.
See what I'm getting at? I'm not trying to attack you but I just want to point out the logical consequences of your behavior if everyone were to act the same as you, and why I see your behavior as, in the end, futile and self-defeating.
"Oh, those evil French socialists! First they won't help us invade Iraq and now they are interfering with our right to lay off their lazy asses!

Jefferson: Our efforts hath come to naught : our republic hath fallen into the hands of religious zealots. My dear Mr. Franklin, let us away to a land where science and reason doth still remain sovereign.
Franklin: My dear Mr. Jefferson, let us repair to France. We may seek refuge at the house of my dear friend the Marquis of Lafeyette.
Jefferson: Lafeyette is Marquis no longer, for the nobility of France hath been overthrown, but let us appeal to his successor M. Chirac.
Franklin: Let us go at once. But before we bid farewell to our fallen country, let us partake of these Freedom Fries that we hath heard so much about.

Worked pretty well for me..except, I can't seem to hit the linux IP, in bridged mode, from Windows.

How do you make a religiously deranged nihilist?
Good point - I think your parent is just throwing words with negative implications ("deranged" and "nihilist") at the wall and seeing what sticks. Apparently, if people believe in religion too much, they have some kind of overflow and don't believe in anything.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

SF city hall steps, the papers will read "Violent murder takes place in Oakland"
;)
Hehe, they'll stay within the bounds of the truth by saying, "Murder occurs in Oakland vicinity"

Yep, I was being ironic.

Yeah, France is a small market anyway. It's only the size of California's.
