I have to disagree. This system could have its its advantages if Microsoft assumes all of the ecological issues. Just weight the costs, how much do you pay per year for an identically featured machine ? How much would you pay to get this one, guaranted by Microsoft to work expectedly and -if possible- to be kept from obsolescence? A PC used to mean Personal Computer, now it's just a Packet of Crap and modding is just making it more expensive as well as unstable. The Swiss have a related system for sharing cars. It just requires more organisation but otherwise you don't wonder about parking, cleaning, refueling, etc. anymore. Face it: This might be a pun by Microsoft, but at least it could sound cleaner for the environment. But maybe were you just improvising a First Post?
Each time a Slashdotter buys scheisse at thinkgeek, a Chinese factory dumps 350 liters of toxic waste in the sea, so I guess squids will rather extinct than please your obese asses.
Only in America will scientist be motivated by something else than the humanity's sake... A small step for me... a giant bump on the stock exchange charts...
Your personal impact on global warming may be influenced as much by what you eat as by what you drive.
That surprising conclusion comes from a couple of scientists who have taken an unusual look at the production of greenhouse gases from an angle that not many folks have even thought about. Gidon Eshel and Pamela Martin, assistant professors of geophysics at the University of Chicago, have found that our consumption of red meat may be as bad for the planet as it is for our bodies.
If you want to help lower greenhouse gas emissions, they conclude in a report to be published in the journal Earth Interactions, become a vegetarian.
In the interest of full disclosure, it should be noted that both researchers are vegetarians, although they admit to cheating a little with an occasional sardine. They say their conclusions are backed up by hard data.
Eshel and Martin collected that data from a wide range of sources, and they examined the amount of fossil-fuel energy -- and thus the level of production of greenhouse gases -- required for five different diets. The vegetarian diet turned out to be the most energy efficient, followed by poultry, and what they call the "mean American diet," which consists of a little bit of everything.
There was a surprising tie for last place. In terms of energy required for harvesting and processing, fish and red meat ended up in a "virtual tie," but that's just in terms of energy consumed. When you toss in all those other factors, such as bovine flatulence and gas released by manure, red meat comes in dead last. Fish remains in fourth place, some distance behind poultry and the mean American diet, chiefly because the type of fish preferred by Americans requires a lot of energy to catch.
Eating Red Meat Like Driving an SUV?
Can changing your diet really have much of an impact?
"It is comparable to the difference between driving an SUV and driving a reasonable sedan," said Eshel, who drives a Honda Civic, and only when he has to.
Eshel, who grew up on a farm, has always been interested in ecology and the impact we have on the planet. He got into this research, he says, because "now that I'm a professor of geophysics, I have tools in my tool kit that I can apply much more quantitatively and rigorously to evaluate what we do."
A major European intelligence service is absolutely convinced that when George Bush was a drunken teen-ager in Beijing with his father the Ambassador, the Chinese were able to arrange extraordinarily compromising photographs, including homosexual photographs with his Chinese male tennis teacher (the boy may have been so drunk he had no idea was what happending).
mLan is what a sound card should use. This way a device is seen as a music-network node and accessed transparently an isochronous way. Should one access a sound card from many OS simultaneously, it's what will rock from the begining.
Come on, this story is an ad, it's "Consumerism for Americans". Watch them while they put-a-non-sexual-word-for-masturbate-caus-they-pre fer-war-to-sex. Even Israeli now find them worthless:
America has sought to maintain the territorial integrity of Iraq, but that country was an artificial construct of post-World War I British diplomacy - a reality that can no longer be ignored. Iraq is a failed state, and in its agony it is dragging America down with it.
I think it's really inapropriate to use such a name. Millions of poor bastards died in Camps, from Shatilah to Guantanamo. It's time to end the madness. "Camp" is not decent enough a word to be used.
There's something I have to tell you. My real name is not Adolf Hitroll. I'm born Romuald de Malborough. I've always hated that name. Simply because I cannot properly spell it. So, people are just expected to call me a way I can write it. Hence my nick name of Bob Malda. Well, Even now and then, I have problems spelling it properly. So I used my synaptic network at the speed of (Pepsi) light to name myself after my favourite video game character and my favourite food (with Kentucky's Dead Birds, BTW). So, you might have heard me as Commandeur Taco (As I'm unable to spell Camendeur without my fresh new copy of OFfice 2007 alpha and its spelling'aid, I sometime use some vowelless form).
Years ago, I worked as a janitor in a school. The kids used to calling me names while peeing in my bucket. That's the reason I hate kids. Especially educated ones. I just cannot stand being called a mong while I have no idea where that state is... I heard its near Chinatown, but I could be mistaken. I was expelled from that school after the director's siamese daughters' attempted rape failed (my soiled panties just stuck so hard on my schlong that I could not remove them without circumsing Conan).
I vowed myself to revenge: I created a forum where these asshats would gather, attracted by the stupid stories I'd publish. About anime, video games, television and sometime computers (this depends on whether my old friend "Amos" -name changed to protect Hemos' privacy- who once worked at Walfart electronics helps). This worked like piss in cake. I have spent years publishing stories about the various editions of the spare(-rib) wars (get the joke? MHWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAAAAA!) prequels. Next time will be about Blue-something. They always come and play Herr Doctor Genius... fuxxorz! What I'm really into is ghey stuff. My prostate itches as I type this. I need that Samzenpus tongue between my ass cheeks. This is stuff that matters. Until he comes back from the toilet, I think I'd stick to make fat and obese nerds embarass themselves by posting the lame lieux-communs they find make them look so smart.
Oops Kafleent is coming. I can smell she's drunk again. I shoulda've married a sober clean girl but these wonnot approach me. Maybe if I went on some kind of diet?

Maul zu, schweinli.
Thanks my ass: This article is only of interest for FF Benützers who were informed long before getting to this scheisse propaganda site.
Useful my ass: if it were useful the guys would have put links to his own developments. until then it's just branlette!
Teri'd have called it a "schiavolution"...
Hi heard that America's economy was based upon litigation more than innovation...

The thread is about /.'s posting it to the front page. I also think this denotes a slow news day: it's a 1.x.y.z , for frigg's sake!
...and?
Firefox itself notified me hours ago.
If you have to get here to read about such releasettes, just stop using computers.

Even Israeli now find them worthless:
The story itself is a troll, it's good that a patch is issued but calling malicious coders Hackers is even worse.
Engineering software is boring. Most of the people I know would better be porn actors. You Yankees are sick

And yes, these can be compared.
Hasn't it occurred to that smart literate ass of yours that it might be because slashdot limits its subject length to 50 chars?
This is probably the best financial site ever created.
Care to mention some other or is it just the fact that it is google that makes you all wet?
BTW, I somehow liked the amount of info they give on dead horses.
Wait a minute, if it was about Edison, then I think it was actually Tesla who invented it!
