Both ethanol and biodiesel are biofuels but they are not the same and the economics are not the same. biodiesel is already proven to work and can be made fairly easily from non-food crops or even waste from processing food crops. Even within ethanol, ethanol from sugarcane is far more efficient than from corn. The stupidity of corn subsidies means we keep out imports of cheap sugarcane while impoverishing countries like Haiti that cant sell its sugarcane crop. It also means coca cola tastes better everywhere else except the US.
Radioshack should have been the go to place for mini-dishes, unlocked cell phones, tv cables,etc
They instead got rid of the geeks who knew stuff and replaced them with the same type of perky clueless people you would find in an at&t or t-mobile. Why would I buy the exact same cell phone and plan that I could buy in a tmobile and at&t store. Radioshack never offered what the consumers really wanted a good unlocked cell phone and our choice of prepaid plans.
Radioshack could still recover but they need to reduce the number of stores, expand its online offerings and make deals with more competitive suppliers like monoprice. They also need to refocus radioshack back on customer service with "friendly geeks" that help you with everything and provide honest unbiased advice which is so lacking right now.
Obama is talking about allowing cities and towns to run their own municipal broadband.
Let the public have free slow broadband 1-3 mpbs as a public service and let people pay for higher end products. If At&t were really smart they would preempt this by offering free 1.5 mbps dsl to all their existing landline phone customers (on the lifeline customers at&t could claim a tax writeoff).
Yes hershey milk chocolate is about 11% cocoa. However Hersheys dark chocolate bar is 45% cocoa solids which is almost identical to lindt dark choclate truffles at 43%.
Cheap and good enough beats state of the art everytime. The reason why jets replaced prop planes was not that they were merely faster its that they could fly more passengers at a lower cost per passenger mile.
If they discover oil you better believe Greenlanders will vote for independence from Denmark the only stumbling block for greenland independence has been financial.
Greenlands population is 56,000. A billion dollars worth of oil pumped a year would be about $20,000 a person.
Its 70 but if your driving less than 10 mph over the speed limit, the state troopers wont bother. I think 75 is fast enough on the east coast. In Montana where there is noone for miles I can see 85. My grand marquis would cruise nicely at 80 whether the speed limit is 75 or 85.
I suppose the answer is if you get paid or otherwise earn money to gather and/or present news and information then you would qualify, A journalist can be a blogger but not all bloggers are journalists.
When a journalist writes a bulls--t story about you ought to know whos paying their bills and who their friends are. The Linux community had to deal with that for years when "journalists" would write hit pieces on linux during the SCO trials. Does that mean they ought to be Doxxed and harassed at home? Hell no but knowing if they are getting paid by rivals and are friends of your enemies is damn useful.
The problem is in the US working poor didnt qualify for free housing so basically what happened is you concentrated utter poverty in a small area. Combine that with inadequate security, poor maintenance and shoddy construction you have a recipe for disaster. So right now working poor pay well over 30% of their salary for rent. What would they do if they didnt have the heavy rent loads? They would spend it on consumer goods like washers and dryers and cars and perhaps even save for the down payment for a house. So an argument could be made that public housing might in the long run stabilize home prices and improve the economy.
In Europe mainstream families live in public housing so public housing doesnt have the stigma that it has in the US so economic activity is maintained near public housing in europe because you have working families who spend money not just welfare recipients. Also because working families vote political interests have a vested interest in maintaining the quality of public housing.
Russians dont have more oil...no problem with that.The nice thing about that oil is that it will still be there 5 years from now.

I dont know about you but you could easily carry emergency medications in a 2 1/2 pound payload. There are a lot of extremely valuable things you can fit in a 2 1/2 pounds payload. Now im not sure id want to be the 1st or even 100th customer. Give it a year or two prove reliability then id be okay with it.
Slashdot Mirror
Just not their own brand.
Costa Rica has that too
Along with human rights, multiparty democracy and an open internet

Sears and Kmart problems are more due Eddie Lamperts inept management. JC penney actually is returning to profitability this year.

One 40 minute session aided by a teacher...certainly not 10 minutes on their own. Many 2nd and 3rd graders are still learning keyboarding skills.

"which involves using a computer to do word processing, not anything the kids couldn't pick up on their own in ten minutes..."
Because elementary school kids can pickup word processing on their own in 10 minutes? Really??? Tell me about it...
Also having childless aunts and uncles would reduce infant mortality...

As long as you do it in a non-discriminatory manner (all non-profits (schools, libraries,etc) )

However now these states would make more from Marijuana then they would lose from highway funds.

Maybe greenpeace has enough good sense not to target one of the most popular toys in the world
when there are much easier polluter targets like shell
