Sure, English spelling is hard to learn. But then again:
"Don't blame native speakers for complaining about your spelling when you are posting on a native-speaking forum"... no matter how impolite the native speakers choose to express their advice?

Imagine a wind turbine - under water. That is also something to look for in the near future.
Tide currents have a much better predictability than wind, this is an important feature of this type of clean energy. The underwater turbines are below the surface so waves and ice won't hurt them (within some limits of course).
Ultra-low frequency noise will be a problem, though.
A recent Danish study shows that the total dose of radio energy received by people using cell phones decreases if the distance to the (fixed) antennas decreases. Even if they only use the cell phone for a few minutes per day. Why?
Because a cell phone is a two-way device. It must transmit stronger to reach a distant antenna and it has no sense of direction. The GSM protocol provides a power control which makes the cell phone reduce power as much as possible, the goal is just enough to reach the closest antenna tower.
Parents demanding that cell phone antennas are removed from the school roof are NOT doing the children a favor.
This idea is to make a car, which can travel roads and a special rail which also supplies power. High speeds are obtainable on the rail and batteries are charged while the car is on the rail. Off-rail travel will be battery powered.
Rapid Urban Transport may be a good solution for large cities. And most big cities grow larger every day.

Well, if you run a mail server, you should know how to make it relay via your ISP's passthrough server. Which must have a.mail name, if it wants to be able to send mail to me.
If you spam me, I'll complain to you ISP - simple to find from the headers - and the ISP will handle your case appropriately.
What will be a thing of the past is hijacked xDSL PC's which are doing mail-zombie work. They don't have a.mail domain - sorry, blocked by default.
1. Who would verify the requests (worldwide)? Your mail server would. Just turn on DNS checking, it's built in to most servers already.
2. How do you REALLY verify an account is never going to be abused? I won't. But I would reduce the number of possible abusers very much. RBL's would be very much more efficient with this change.
3. Where do you draw the line? Is a company of 20 allowed email? How about 4? How about just me? Anyone who would register a.mail name.
4. How do you persuade EVERYONE who currently uses email to change? Oh, I see - you think that EVERYONE should change? Not so. Users don't see any change. Mail servers need to be registered. Mail servers may optionally check that connecting servers are registered using the DNS check mentioned above.
5. How much do you think it would cost to make the switch globally? Peanuts compared to the cost of spam.
They'll be out of biz about 14 days after "check that every mail server which claims to be company.mail matches the IP it is using" day.
Many of the other posters didn't realize that it is only the mail servers which should be changed. Clients won't feel a thing other than all the hijacked computers suddenly being useless for spamming purposes.

I thought that RME was quite hard to use in combustion engines because of very high NOx emissions?

Every upstream provider should only accept mail which as been passed by a Spamassassin server.
That would end spam as we know it - I hope.
Well, the conservative party explicitly writes on the home page, that they oppose software patents!
The minister of forign affairs (conservative) Per Stig Møller said that he would oppose that the item was handled as an A-item
Still, if the liberal party (Danish: Venstre) says jump, the conservatives only ask "how high"...
You are refering to the old text. The current one allows anything "new" to be patent protected. "new" defined as not already patented.
Absolutely! That site has a very nice collection.
Anything from M$ since 9x/ME has a built-in access rights system.
NO ONE needs to run as administrator, if they are not installing software.
Still today, lots of M$ users don't know that - what a waste!
One must admire MS for the spin of this question.
MS got everyone to babble about install-options (WMP yes/no?) instead of the real thing at stake:
Open formats e.g ISO standards or privately owned formats?
Hello, everyone, it isn't about WMP yes/no. It's about standard formats with competition or not. Did you get it now?
If the admins are too slow to take down the spamvertized site and report back to the reporter, yes, and only then.
Which is fine with me.
The difference between URI and IP is that you need to resolve an URI via DNS to an IP.
I like the thought of all mail which is spamvertizing some site (or even the IP of a server hosting just one spamvertized site) to be marked as spam.
I didn't mention any other filtering techniques.
Sorry, I've found the question and some pros and cons here:
http://www.surbl.org/faq.html#numbered
Well, buy your mom access to a spam-free E-mail provider, then. Getting rid of spam is well worth it!
From the SURBL site: "parse URIs in message bodies, extract their domains, and check those against a SURBL...."
I would rather extract the domain, look up the IP, and check the IP.
That way the server will have to move to a new IP - not just get a new bogus domain name.
Yes, I know that servers many host many domains:
This will only increase pressure on the spamheaven server admins to get rid of the people who use spam to spamvertize their sites.

The particular display mentioned has size, not resolution as its main quality; some of the other displays mentioned have high resolutions.
Which kinds of UI will benefit from such displays?
Can we expect something useful from e.g. virtual 3D viewing (remember those books with embedded 3D-items hidden in 2D pictures)?
Comcast the steady number one with around 5 times more spam than number 2 on the list of the spam recorded by SpamCop.

I'm not in much of a hurry, so I'll go for the boot.iso which creates a CD which can be used for a network install from your favorite mirror.
Does anyone have a Torrent tracker for boot.iso ?
(Yes, I know that the mirrors will be slow. Maybe the installer will have a "torrent" option in the future next to "ftp" and "http"....)

Every ISP will have to provide some pass-through SMTP server for home users, this mail server will be registered as a .mail server.
Most ISP's already do have such servers.
Add some virus filters for Microsoft-worm-of-the-week and E-mail begins to make sense again.
Why wait for a broken system to produce an answer?
Germany told SCO to shut up or bring in some evidence. The aussies should do the same.
It's still a mystery to me how the US legal systems works (or doesn't work)

I'm fond of the net-install method on RH 9. A bootdisk.img and a netdrv.img on two floppys and you'll be able to install.
Neat.
I sure am missing that feature on Feodora.
