I flew with Frank several years ago when my sister was practicing medicine in Fayetteville. Helluva ride for five bucks, best way to see the gorge and surroundings.
Great, any step which takes us further away from an oil economy can only be a good thing for world stability, the environment and the economy
A couple of ignorant questions here: What percent of our electricity is produced by oil or gas or coal burning plants? Won't the increase in demand for cheap electricity drive up the pollution created by these plants?
if MS was censoring articles on Slate, you would never see mention of PS, who right now is MS's biggest competitor in the gaming console wars.
No one is claiming M$ is censoring Slate, just using it in a sneaky, underhanded marketing ploy. Besides, censorship is generaly done by governments. M$ is not the government. Yet.
I had been considering lasik for awhile after an optometrist had said I was an ideal candidate for the surgery. My wife said no way in hell I should let anyone do that until I consulted with her opthalmologist. When I went to see him, he found a problem with my retina no one had seen before. Instead of having lasik for vision correction, I had laser surgery to prevent retinal detachment.
Lasik is great for some. One brother and a brother-in-law have had it and they both love it, but I've given up on my dream of having perfect 20/20 vision until I can buy new eyeballs.
Research involving radiation or dangerous biological agents could be done on the moon with little danger of releases to Earth's environment.
Until the experiment goes bad, blows up and sends the moon and all inhabitants of Moon Base Alpha hurtling thru space...
When I worked for Hardee's as a teenager, our used grease was sold to cosmetic companies. I don't know who they sell it to these days, but i doubt the give it away.
Of course its necessary, otherwise how would we know our lawmakers are being productive. Heaven knows I would never vote for anyone who failed to at least try to put a new law or two on the books.
But as the technology matures and gets cheaper, the cost of embedding in smaller bills, 5s 10s 20s, will be easier to justify. Big Brother may never be able to track everything you spend, but he's sure trying hard...
Let's say your typical advanced civilization (using radio waves) can last 1000 years before nuking itself into oblivion
That's quite an assumption. Why must we conclude a civilisation has to eventually destroy itself? one civilisation or culture could just as easily merge into another, or just fade away. in anycase, 1000 years seems a little pessimistic.

Looks like netcraft needs to switch

Yeah but look how much vcr's have come down in the last few years!

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.
but at least they aren't a convicted felon. I thought the case against M$ was a civil case not a criminal one.
