Why must we keep paying more and more for oil when there are other viable alternatives (uranium, solar power etc.).
There are no viable alternatives to replace light sweet crude. The easiest way to deal with the increased energy costs is to adjust your presently inefficient lifestyle (that or learn how to invest).
I use to be proud of the fact that I held a CS degree, but that changed when CS became more about job training than a science. If you want a real CS degree, then become a math major.

Wetlands and delta conservation has long been a favorite target of dittoheads and other conservative groups, who have viewed it as a liberal waste of money and barrier to economic development. I wonder if they'll start to change their tune after this.
The National Flood Insurance Program is responsible for the explosion in development along the nation's coasts, as no other insurer in their right mind will offer coastal coverage. (you can thank LBJ and the dem controlled congress for that one)
Older women (and by that I mean late 20's/early 30's onward start to move away from the hunting the rich bad boy and start to actually prefer "sweet nice guys".
Women will only settle for beta males when they have no other options.
I don't even mind the cost, since going to a movie with friends can be a nice outing. However, there are just too many obnoxious-uncivilized bastards out there who ruin the experience (One ethnic group in particular seems to have a monopoly on these creeps).
For God's sake, Aluminum is too damned weak for a good case kicking. I mean when I'm pissed, I like the nice recoil of a heavy gage steel panel against my boot when I punt my case in rage.
The current problem is that the vastness of America means that private companies don't find it cost effective to hook up Ma and Pa Kent out in the sticks. But under a government system, those people would get the service.
The problem is Ma and Pa Kent living out in the sticks. Why should the rest of the population have to continue footing the bill for those who choose to live an inefficient lifestyle.

If you quit and are begged/pleaded with to return and are offered a raise then you were being under-paid.
If you quit and leave with a pat on the back then you were being over-paid.
(... bottom line you are just a serf that will live a boring-unimportant-debt-filled life and most likely will welcome death after 30)

This isn't aimed at the end user, rather franchises like Cartridge World.
The US government through FEMA gives these dopes the money to rebuild in the flood zones. End the subsidies, and restore the environment.

Broadband over powerlines has been in use in Iceland for at least 2 years that I know of (end-user, not testing) Why is this big news now?
Because this is the first time it's being scaled to a population of over 50 people

but I doubt seriously MS will be able to collect a dime on the patents.
That's not the strategy. MS wants to tie [insert competitor here] into a lengthy expensive legal fight.
Was I the only one to think... Slashdot... commonplace... once every 2 years....
"Having Sex is commonplace for me"... the new Slashdot definition of commonplace.
Lucky bastard! My sex life can't even be measured in earth time.

I'm talking off the shelf current tech "limited." Show me a fully commercial and non-experimental breeder reactor (and Phenix is still experimental).
Confusing us with facts.
Performing electrolysis with wind, solar and hydro power can produce hydrogen fuel that is 100% pollution-free and 100% renewable.
Wind lacks energy density
Solar PVs are negative energy efficient (yes, you need to factor in the mined platinum & palladium to the equation)
Solar thermal lacks energy density
Hydro power lacks scalability
Nuclear is limited by Uranium reserves

Hell i'd take a 10% chance of not surviving the trip home.
What about if the risk were 11%
that there will be one line of code written today that will require copyright protection in 70 years time?
Yes, if that line of code is written in COBOL
