Was UBL sleeping on the hard stone floor of a cave in the wild frontier of western Pakistan. Or, by the hard concrete proped on a chaise lounge poolside somewhere. He obviously was manicured,and had had a recent beard trimming.

It killed me driving my 1967 VW beetle and realizing that some serious efficiencies are somehow getting overlooked in new cars.
My Beetle on a good highway cruise got 33 MPG and slugging around the streets of San Francisco got 25 MPG.
(I know the answer but I'll ask)How does a 36 year old car, with a 1.5 liter motor get these kinds of mileage, much much more than the standard fleet average for practically all current automakers?
Even a 2004 econo-car with a 1.5liter probably only gets 40/32 compared to my thirty-six year old getting 33/25.
The rise in fuel efficiency over thirty-six years does not seem in anyway to parallel that other current tech curve Moore's Law. Hmmm.

How much stockholder power and pressure is required to change a CEO, to change the composition of a board. The open source community can buy SCO.

English-speaking, loner, big bike riding, website making, great picture taking. Come on, get real. She fit into the Kawasawki jacket so she was hired to stand in a couple of the pictures.
The pictures on this site are great, very interesting. The 'Elena' is fiction. "We won't be fooled again. No, no, won't be fooled again."

I have often wondered if the U.S. Military HQ the pentagon is considered a "Legitimate" target. If it were the only 9/11 target would we all respect and admire UBL as an equal adversary on the battlefield? Don't think so. If *you* don't like them then you rationalize that they are evil.
Rep. Tauzin has been the long hard tireless killer of low-powered FM radio. His communication commitee directly interviened to kill the US senate's McCain LPFM act of 2001.

That also meant that when sailors wanted to
send e-mail attachments to a Navy base across
the country they sometimes found that their

The new system was designed to change all that.
For the first time, all Navy departments were
to be on the same system using the same e-mail
and financial management programs. Security
was a top priority.
Excel attachments, all on the same system, and top priority security all in one swoop. Ha!

This is mega-corp (Ford/Union Oil) buying up viable competition(the Think Elec car co./the Los Angeles red-trains) and dumping it.
Ask Los Angelenos if the lack of public transportation in LA is a *good thing*.
Ask N.Y./SF/Boston/DC/London/Tokyo/etc.. if their public transportation is a *bad thing*.
We'll look back in wonder that this happened so quitely.

In California recycling a CRT mostly means it is packed and shipped to Asia, where it is *not* recycled but scavenged a bit then dumped. Not recycling means it is sent to a local landfill (Which is now an illegal act in California).
There is a single hazardous waste landfill in California that officially accepts and dumps monitors, they are near King City and charge $100.00/Ton.
A firm in Canada, that is subsidized by the Canadian Govt. actually breaks down CRTs as much as possible and and recycles some and properly dumps the rest.
It is ugly, and there is *very* little current means to properly recycle/dispose of a CRT.
This is well thought out and informative, thanks. Others have expressed concerns that the geeks in China might not freely and willingly share source, share information, and work with the global open source community.
How would these examples of Chinese philosophy and culture that you wrote of translate into pounding out drivers and bugs and new apps in a GPL'ed open source way?
The "typical Chinese entrepreneur - one who seeks to control his own small dynasty" concept does not seem a good fit for the share/change/proliferate of open source code. Is it possible for a Chinese entrpreneur to feel a familial relationship and work with a chubby english-speaking geek in Silicon Valley?
The State of California passed legislation in 1993 mandating that all dealers in California must have a ZEV (Zero Emmission Vehicle) available within ten years(2003). The manufacturers have fought this all the way to the top.
In preparation for actually having to have ZEVs they are getting prototypes out on the road. One prototype is the Ford Think City.
The Ford company does not seem to want to sell these, it is as if they will not make them available unless they are forced. There are a few dozen prototypes currently on the road, and Ford has talked about a launch on (conviniently) January 2003 right when the law might come into effect. These ZEVs, if they are let loose into the streets of California just may become popular, and that would be hard on the oil industry companies etc.
In case they are forced to release ZEVs they do have them ready, as do other manufacturers. So you might want to wait until January 2003, and a whole load of new ZEV might be available in California. Unless of course the courts throw out the legislation at the last moment.
