"you can make oil simply from CO or CO2, plus water for the H2, plus energy"
Oh, gee. It's that simple? You've just solved the energy crisis! To create a portable energy source like oil, we just have to expend some "plus energy" to combine some carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen.
Say, what is this "plus energy"? And how do you plan on getting past that whole "can't extract more energy than you put in" thing? I know it's a trivial problem and all, but hey...
How about GM's Ecotec 2.0 liter direct injection turbocharged gasoline/ethanol flex fuel motor? You know, the one you can wander down to the dealership and buy today in the Pontiac Solstice GXP, Saturn Sky Redline, and Opel GT.

Discrepancy anyone?
Have you spoken with your homeowners insurance agent? Some policies require that the house be occupied to continue coverage. You may not have much choice but to rent or bring a family member in.
Can you cite any studies showing that "quite a few" and a "notable amount" of deaths were caused by parental error? That's a bold claim to make without providing any data to back it up. I'm amazed that you got to a score of 3 without any. The "insightful" is just mind-blowing...
Yes. I read it. It is not only humiliating to the child, but it drives even deeper rifts into the often painful social relationships that the child maintains. All you do get is a child who is no longer in the classroom learning, every time. EVERY time. I can't count the number of hours and the number of classes I missed because of this kind of bullshit twaddle. Did you not pay attention when I said that this kind of quackery robbed me of my childhood?
Oh yeah, that worked real well for me as a kid. I lost everything, and couldn't figure out why. That kind of punishment oriented "treatment" is more harmful to kids than any drug you could give them. It robbed me of my childhood.
You have no fucking idea how painful it is to live with this condition as a child. Not only did I feel helpless, despite drugs and the best doctors in the northeast, but I couldn't figure out why this was happening. Why life sucked. In fact, life didn't get better and start making sense until everybody started leaving me the fuck alone to figure this stuff out.
Does this sound angry? That's because it is angry. You recommend this kind of therapy just so you can fit these children in to your pithy narrow-minded little view of the world. You don't care about the child at hand. That's fucked up.
I drove 6000 miles from coast to coast in my Turbo MR2 using Maps and Trips 2004 with a GPS. I couldn't get lost if I had tried. The maps were accurate, and I could generate a new map if I decided to take a detour or side trip. Only twice did trips and maps show my position as being off the road and I'll tell ya, it was amusing watching the computer claim that I was driving in a river. =)

But you're just a troll, so details don't really matter, do they?;)
That's a good point, but I don't buy the argument that Princeton is an ISP. They're nothing of the sort, and they gain no protections that ISPs do. Their main business is education, and to that aim they support a network of computers. It is well accepted that services run on University networks, especially ones that facilitate academic study (as this indexing does) are "University services" even if they are not officialy sanctioned projects. Arguably if I ran a group study web forum from a dorm room, it would be considered a University service. Recall that a University is not the sum of it's academic leaders, but the sum of all who participate. That includes students as well as professors. When you look at a University in that light, anything any of the participants do becomes representative of the University itself. At that point the University DMCA rep is exactly the right person to contact if a student running a service has a copyright incident.
You're right.
I'm going to release a dam full of water at your house. Here's a bucket. It's your responsibility to keep your house clean, dry, and in one piece.
Have fun! =)
Because it costs money to host stuff. I know this is a unique concept to you, the ignorant end-surfer, but all these "free, public" websites are paid for by somebody, and it certainly ain't you.
Can you really be so stupid as to suggest that somebody not do something unless it can handle an extreme load?
Lets see how you feel about it when you pay $50/mo for 1.5mbit in a colo, and slashdot comes along and drives your usage up to 3mbit sustained for 8 hours. Do you know what the penalties are for that kind of overusage? Are you willing to give the owner a few thousand dollars to cover it?
I wish you fecks could get in touch with reality already.

Actually, you can only pay for the channels you watch. A new FCC rule says you only have to pay for channels you pick. But the cable companies won't tell you that, will they?;)
Maybe if they weren't paying insane licensing fees to run Windows 2000 on their servers, they wouldn't be in such a budget crunch...
Gotta wonder how much they pay their Web Developer who writes non-compliant HTML and ASP in "QEDIT and some old-fashioned typing" [Check their html source] too.
And you know hosting those 30 gaming (oops. sorry, they're "Virtual Reality") servers has to be a big money maker, right?

Why do you think you need to install an "older version" of Linux? Kernels today will likely run faster on that hardware. This isn't Windows or Mac OS or something similar. You're not forced to use the entire operating system, gui and all. Redhat 6.2 will run *fine* on there.
Redhat 7 will run *fine* on there. Mandrake whatever the hell the version number it is now will run *fine* on there. Just be picky about the software you run. Don't expect to install KDE3 or Gnome and recieve reasonable performance.
Lord help us from the hordes of folks who know too little to be useful, and just enough to be dangerous (or incredibly annoying).
So its ok to save you money on bandwidth, but its not ok to save them money on bandwidth. Cute.
Is it a net gain if their bandwidth usage jumps 200% over their normal contractual amount, and they redline their pipe for hours on end? Do you have any idea how much that costs?

RAWFUL! Your comment tells me that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Enterprise gear doesn't use disk? Good grief.

Everyone lives downstream from the damn. You get no choice. Stop stretching the analogy further than it can go.
Nice rant, but you know as well as I that the University is the designated agent. Princeton *is* registered.
