Hydrogen isn't an energy source, it's a storage medium. We will have to produce the hydrogen by splitting water, or other compounds, which requires energy. So where does that energy come from? Probably solar, in the long run.
The only enforceable laws are the ones that the people agree to. Good government is for, by, and of the people. Bad government is not, and results in crime, and sometimes, revolution.
They don't have to take water with them. It costs $10,000/pound to put something in orbit. One gallon of water will cost about $80k to put up there. So, there's a weight and cost savings using local water. Plus, they should be able to use the water to generate hydrogen and oxygen, for fuel and survival.
"Because of politics, some things are being forced on us that without political pressure we might not do, like Windows NT," Ron Redman, deputy technical director of the Fleet Introduction Division of the Aegis Program Executive Office is quoted as saying. "If it were up to me I probably would not have used Windows NT in this particular application. If we used Unix, we would have a system that has less of a tendency to go down."
Another person at the Naval Air Warfare Center, who also requests anonymity, says: "In my view, and this is only my opinion, the move [IT 21] is not only illegal, but wrong. Moving the Navy completely towards a proprietary computer (a memo quoted states only 'Intel' computers could be purchased) and a proprietary OS (Windows) is against Navy procurement standards requiring OPEN competition. If anything, the Navy should stress compatibility, and open standards. MS Windows is not an open standard.
David Kastrup of the Institut fur Neuroinformatik in Bochum, Germany observed last year that "The specifications call for use of Windows NT 5.0 [now Windows 2000] when available, without any prior tests for usability or whatever. This means that the military is signing a blank cheque of trust to Microsoft to deliver what their marketing hype promises.
"Creationism" is supportable by any available evidence, as long as the audience isn't capable of critical thinking. "Creationism" is a conclusion in search of supporting facts. It's the Shrink-to-Fit method; reduce the facts to fit the theory, and then hold it together with copper rivets. It's not science. It's faith. In science, no facts are "inconvenient." In religion, there are many inconvenient facts.
While I'm glad you had success transferring domains away from Network "Solutions", it do not think ti can every be said that "Verisign is a good company to do business with." They suck six ways from Sunday.
Mod me as a troll if you want, but "Verisign sucks" cannot be said often enough, or in big enough lettering.
Not at all. However, it would be nice if each Windows application would put its 'system DLLs' in its own folder, rather than insisting on overwriting the ones in system32
On Linux, it would be like the rpm for Mozilla overwriting/lib/libc.so.6, then the rpm for apache overwriting it, etc.
"The studios" have, of course, decided in advance that SonicBlue is a criminal enterprise, and that the Replay is a tool of the devil. Now, SonicBlue is being compelled to help "the studios" prove their pre-selected conclusion.
Not only guilty until proven innocent, but they have to help win their own conviction.
In addition, a reading of your opinion would lead to the conclusion that the State market is crucial and essential for the proprietary software industry, to such a point that the choice made by the State in this bill would completely eliminate the market for these firms. If that is true, we can deduce that the State must be subsidising the proprietary software industry. In the unlikely event that this were true, the State would have the right to apply the subsidies in the area it considered of greatest social value; it is undeniable, in this improbable hypothesis, that if the State decided to subsidize software, it would have to do so choosing the free over the proprietary, considering its social effect and the rational use of taxpayers money.

Exactly. The only enforceable laws are the ones that the people agree to obey. :)
Plastics can be made from coal. Eastman Chemical does just that. Do a search on "Coal Gassification."
The U.S. has an estimated 400-year supply of coal.

The lesson from that trial, of course, is "dead men tell no tales." Also, "if they fall out, drag them back in before calling the cops."
You get free land-line service? Neat.
So, tell us all why you're such a zealous defender of spam...
Checking voicemail requires airtime, which is not free.
Face it, by putting up an email server, you are consenting to receive email.
Yeah, and she dressed like a slut, too.
DARPA expects most of their projects (more than 80%) to fail. They fish around for that Amazing Thing that Might Work, and fund it. It's really cool.
Even if this project fails, interesting knowledge will be gained. That's what DARPA's about, at least in part.
But, apparently,
Envy = good
Hatred = good
and
Whining = good

So, this is a simple question:
Why do the menus in KDE/QT apps work so much more quickly than menus in Gnome/GTK apps? Is it a virtual function vs event queue thing? Or what?
Not available anywhere else?
How about SodiPodi?
I'm guessing a Niven movie would involve a species with uncontrollable breeding pressures and limited resources...
Plus, it fits in with the New! Easier! AOL! 7.0!

That sounds like a good plan for escaping "DLL Hell" ... why should every application install its own version of libc, anyway? It's stupid...
Don't you mean MSLLMNR?
