jridley, care to share your preferred 3rd party ink source? I have a canon MP830 printer that takes these pricy CLI carts. I'd love to stop save some $ on them.
Even if they stopped all file sharing would that revive their crap-tastic industry? The most exciting thing they have going is "American Idol" and even that only appeals to fans of Vegas style crooning.
Actually I don't care about the latest toys (I don't excited about a new server). I do like analyzing problems and playing detective. Hunting down bugs and optimizing code like some hotrod mechanic. The thing I miss most in my job is that I wish I dealt with people more.
I took a break from BF1942 when I started dreaming about it.
I certainly find the violence in games like BF1942 much less disturbing than those shown in movies/TV. Maybe it is the fact that the guy I just killed disappears and his player is typing "Haha! Nice shot!". Sort of takes away the semblance of reality.
I have to agree with your point in general. If you add iron to the water (basically fertilize it) you could end up with the situation found off of Louisiana where you have dead zones. The algeal blooms create anoxic zones when they die and decompose and consume dissolved oxygen in the process, basically suffocating everything. The blooms are fed by fertilizers in the Mississippi that come from farm runoff.
I just wanted to point out why they were proposing iron fertilization, not if it was actually a good idea.
I just tossed the splitting idea off of the top of my head. Yah, lots of energy to split it which makes burning C so useful. So I decided to see if there really was any investigation into this and found this article right off the bat. Looks like it is an idea still in its infancy though.
Not ONE bit of info about how it works. Why bother writing it?
Maybe they could combine the CO2 output with some sort of wind/sun powered device that could split the CO2 into carbon and oxygen. That would certainly take it out of commission (just don't burn the carbon dust).
Actually they would use a soluable iron compound. Secondly, one of the things holding back plant growth (and the things that eat them) is that ocean water is iron poor. Areas where there are upwellings, such as George's Bank off New England, are more productive because they get nutrients from the ocean bottom mixing in. Tests of this theory have shown that phytoplankton bloom when iron is added to sea water. When those phytoplankton die their bodies sequester the carbon on the ocean floor for millions of years.
I hear he ended up on the feet of a homeless man, tried to come clean with help from Dr Scholls, and is now presumed dead from a tragic laundry drying machine dissapearance.
Geek vs Nerd. I could never keep which was which straight. I always thought Geek was the harsher of the two but maybe that is a question for "Ask Slashdot".
What do Magic The Gathering articles and sci-fi book reviews have to do with tech either? Obviously this goes under that glorious tent known as "Nerd Culture". And yes, nerds can rap to, just look at the Beastie Boys.
My layman's theory is that photosynthesis arose as a form of protection against the intense UV radiation that hit the earth in its early oxygenless (and therefore ozone layerless) period. Different pigments arose by chance, some more effective than others. The energy absoarbed by the pigments went to heat waste or broken down pigments until a pigment appeared that could pass on that energy in a useable form. The early atmosphere was probably reddish from the lack of blue scattering oxygen and from volcanic dust. So was is it more advantageous to try to capture the direct sunlight or the scattered sunlight? And maybe the green pigments were chemically better suited for the oxygenated atmospheres that developed.
The current pope may be shifting away from the idea of original sin due to the issue of unbaptized babies and limbo. St Augustine said that unbaptized babies go to hell but later Catholics thought that a bit harsh and created limbo, a sort of heaven without God. Now there is some thinking that they go to heaven but then you have to get rid of orignal sin for that to happen.
"All of the hubbub over liquid water seems so silly to me."
The focus on liquid water is because it is the simplest and one of the most common mediums in the universe that can promote chemical reactions. You can't develop life if molecules can't interact and you need a medium that doesn't directly chemically interfere and can keep things in suspension.

I can make it happen in the US with a few magic words: "Won't someone PLEASE think about the children!"
I guess I should've said "Talented Crooners vs "Untalented Crooners"
"Tiny bubbles...in the wine..."
I think it was Baldrick.

Oracle has to pay for all that dough it spent on buying Hyperion somehow. I'm surprised it didn't toss in more Oracle references too.

Someone rich guy will buy it for their home so he can play online with 5000 FPS. "Dude, I pwned you!"

So? At least he got his own comic strip.

In honor of Live Earth they will be using eco-friendly solar powered guitars and lighting. They go on stage at 8pm.
They have an all black website. "It is like looking in a mirror..."

Are green globules considered toxic waste?

Star Trek has taught me that all alien life will look like humans except with different forehead wrinkles and skin.
