Macromedia Director was awesome (for 1999) but was ditched after the Adobe acquisition. Unfortunately most users had dial-up at the time so there was never a mainstream IDE alongside a critical mass user base with enough bandwidth to use the tech.
They all worship the same god.. but insist on fighting a holy war.
And when its all over, he will make sure Hamas and the IDF get to share the same sulphurous pit in hell.
There their they're... poor little grammar nazi. The internets must be a very frustrating place for you
maybe the.edu wanted to limit the slashdotting by malforming the url, think of it as content filtering for the lazy and disinterested

The BBC has not been an impartial news org for years. If ever.
While Murdoch produces innuendo, fearmongering and low-level smut, the BBC is the taxpayer funder mouthpiece of the state. I see no conflict here.
The UK MOD has been killing windfarms at the planning phase due to 'unspecified interference' with RADAR systems. Apparently they cause a blind spot directly above.
As notes are mechanically sorted for ATMs they are shuffled together at high speed... Amongst all the detritus that has fallen off other notes that have been through the machine... Since it was last cleaned.
There are plenty of sources of biomass that are waste. In fact the US has an abundance.
Biomass waste goes well beyond the 'resturant running a few cars'.
How about the tonnes of used coffee grounds? The millions of acres choked with Kudzu? Agricultural waste? Seaweed?
Just because the US policy on biofuel is as dumb as the policy of fossil fuel, doesnt make biofuels any less viable in the real world. And the fact that we are running out of oil means that the price will only go up. Not to mention the price of other oil based products.
Then bear in mind that the rest of the world pays more and uses less, so you are behind the curve in terms of efficiency and economics.
Ignore the troll - The offence is one of 'passing off' so if you are not using the similar domain with the intent of passing off your site as the plaintiffs you are in the clear.
The (notable) precident is NTHell.com which recieved a similar C+D notice. When it came to court, it was judged that a site for disgruntled consumers to slate NTL and their poor service could not (and was not intended) to be confused with NTL.com
TFA fails to see the big picture and that compatative cost is not the only value.
Heres how it could be made to work.
Liquid hydrogen is the coolant for superconducting wires for your power grid. These reduce the energy lost between power plant and the home. Seeing as you are pumping hydrogen around anyway... you may as well go into the distribution business.
Hippies in the UK have been running self sufficient systems for years - rarely on a $9k+ budget.
Hack a few smaller ones together made out of BMX wheels and salvaged components. Spend $100 in your local junkyard and re-do the maths.
Firstly - I am in the UK where Gas costs about £1 a LITRE! People still drive and the roads are still gridlocked. The difference is that most people chose smaller cars and 'Chelsea Tractors' are more of a status symbol.
Secondly - we will never replace fossil fuels while distribution networks are run by companies who drill Oil.
Thats not to say market forces can not be used to the benefit the environment. Successive Brittish governments have been largely incompetent in almost everything they do.
The benefits of vegetainism are in the quality of alternatives you choose, and are dependant on maintaining a ballanced diet. Most mature vegetarians are more aware of dietary science than average Joe public and often avoid the cosmetic yo-yo dieting cycle.
I know my share of overweight vegetarians (myself included) or the gaunt and pale, but most of these cases are because they eat crap or drink too much beer and spend too much time sat at a screen. If they wernt vegetarian they would be eating dead crap.
Industrial farming methods are dodgy. It is the nature of the industry to deny all risk (or evidence of risk) until people start dying. Investigations into BSE were hampered by firms not willing to accept that feadinng disesed (scrapes) sheep offal to cows due to a lack of evidence. Right up to the top everyone was saying that British Beef is safe or no evidence of risk until people started dying, slowly and horribly. One of the first to die was a teenage farm hand in my part of rural England from a then unidentified form of uber aggressive altsheimers. The Industry need to put people and animal welfare before profit when evaluating methods and apply a little common sense.
GM is not a bad technology (no such thing) but the wholesale introduction of new organisms into the wild is not a smart thing to do. Let us not forget that when it comes to our understanding of genetics and the global ecosystem we actually know fuck all, Like the Curies making huge strides in understanding while blind to the risks. Thats before the cumulative effects of Roundup are known (not looking good in Columbia)
90% of the benefit can be gained from avoiding offal based crap and processed food and actually caring about what you eat and how it got to your plate.
Oriental gamers may have troublen with the 'Revorution' but spare a thought for the German difficulties with 'Vii' or the french 'oui'
We had a leading brand of detergent in the UK called 'Jif' which was also pronounced 'Yif', 'Hif' and 'Chif' depending where you go. They changed their brand to 'Cif' the phonetic of which means Sypholis in Polish.
Not so long ago - 2001 or 02 maybe there were massive fires across the Asian and African rainforests (remember the killer smog in Indo). There is an animation in NASA's "World Wind" software, which demonstrates this.
This was after the (dodgy to the benefit of industry IMHO) Kyoto calculations were done. What I dont get is why it took so long for the scientists and beaurocrats to realise their calculations needed to be adjusted.
DownhillBattle are about enableing artist to distribute their own music.
They thought 'this blog thing would be useful for posting songs' (musos not being the geekyest of types)
But hosting would cost too much. so they thought 'bittorret would share the load' bit it was complex and time-consuming (musos not being the geekyest of types)
So they thought 'we could combine the two - lets call it blogTorrent'
It was slasdotted and people cried 'Vapourware' so they released something and people complain about 'buzzwords'
This is the solution to a problem (the music industry) so I think 'STFU and RTFA'
In PR1 the window has the dropdown menus allowing me to save the file. EZ
Ff_1.0 kills the menus and reduces the user to cache trawling to find the file.

"Can somebody explain to me how a battery, heating element, plastic case, and filter can POSSIBLY be as cheap to manufacture as dried leaves, paper, and a filter? Am I missing something here?"
Try paying £5 for 20 here in the UK.
Its about time we could deliver NIC without combustion.
"such as nitric oxides from the corona discharge [wikipedia.org] method (where particles are charged with electricity similar to creation of ozone during a lightning storm)."
Maybe that would help to explain (or be explained by) the increase in pacific storms this year?

In extreme wind conditions, wind turbines are locked to prevent damage. Simply reporting status is enough.
