Well technically it does, it's just that burning it puts it back into the atmosphere. Anybody who feels strongly enough could bury it instead. So your answer is to leave it to future generations millions of years from now to have their own gas reserves we build for them. I wonder how much energy its going to take to bury this fuel? (no I am not trying to make sense of it)
....The other thing to do is to abandon Windows. Matlab behaves considerably better on Linux or Solaris than on Windows (especially on big data sets). Most Matlab users I know have long stopped trying to run it on Microsoft platforms. They are simply not fit for purpose. AFAIK Vista is no exemption. So if you really make a living off matlab you should move your other windows stuff onto a cheap and cheerfull small PC and switch the matlab monster to a "proper" OS. That is the way I have maintained it for my matlab users in the past and they have been happy with the arrangement. I been craming quite a bit of ram in my Sunblade, the thing to remember is only a fool buys their Sun memory from SUN or a vendor, ebay has tons of it cheap at prices comparable to OEM PC memory prices.
True, after posting I found an impassioned plea from then senator Ashcroft against exactly the sort of thing the Patriot act proposed several years earlier. Course it was part of an anti-Clinton diatribe but then thats politics.
Anybody else think that Hercules had the right idea about cleaning the stables of King Augeas
he dug wide trenches to two rivers which flowed nearby. He turned the course of the rivers into the yard. The rivers rushed through the stables, flushing them out, and all the mess flowed out the hole in the wall on other side of the yard. I wonder how we are going to clean out the stables of King George?
The map indicates that the USA, China, and Russia are "endemic surveillance societies" in 2007. Did the current ruler in Washington contribute to achieving this dubious distinction? Does anyone have information on how the USA scored in 2000 (before the current ruler took control of the executive branch)?
9/11 was triple christmas for Bush-Cheney. Those who would disagree I have one word, ASHCROFT.
Note that the European Union seems to have protected its citizens (from terrorism) without abridging basic civil rights.
A lot of the former slave states from the USSR seem to have gone out of their way to be pro-Privacy. 7 ranked higher then the US and 3 for the top five were former soviet.
point 1. FUD, Microsoft's argument is a compete load of horsesht. The reason it's most effected is because low level identification of processes is obscured. Even if it's just simple rot13 encoding in registry to mask info about installed programs. In the *NIX world its almost impossible to hide a running process.
point 2, Windows User basis = BOZOS also untrue. a lot can be done in the windoze world. its is just done with broken legs has the price of entry.
Malware will go away when windows goes open source and not just the source that the scriptkiddies are using. pretty much every other OS manufacture has open sourced their code. Apple is tied to their hardware much like SGI did, they just do a better job then SGI did.
So I wonder if Paul Allen is bidding as a proxy to Microsoft...it's not like Bill Gates and Paul Allen are mortal enemies. Unlikely as a proxy, Paul Allen has his own agenda and telecoms schemes. I would not call his motives purely altruistic however he does favor the offbeat ideas and makes a pretty good go of them when he does.
I thought McCain would be the party divider this election but looks like Dr Paul will be pulling a Ross Perot without the crazy. Too bad from him the Republican party label is a kiss of death for presidential hopefuls in 2008.
What a waste of a perfectly good subject with a absolutely worthless troll. It could have been the basis for a +5 insightful but no you had to make a comment like a 10yr aiming to piss people off.
Try this instead of money: Punishing companies for assisting the President acting within the scope of his Article II powers to protect the lives of Americans from terrorist attacks is bad policy and stupid politics. Nope, it's Money. Just because some rightwing blog says its so don't make it so. If you don't like our laws, leave.
Unlikely, they don't really care what you/me/anybody thinks today, they're about control the media content and will get around to caging you into your conceptual structures later. If you look over the catalog of SonyBMG you will see the most of the soundtracks and American artists are part of the original Sony catalog dovetailed into their movie side and from Sony buying up record labels. On the other side BMG is skewed toward Classical and much of the European market. Random House is more then just books, they have an large IT services wing. Against them then look at such names as
MSNBC [wonder who is the MS in MSNBC?] AOL TIME Warner Disney-ABC Domestic Television
There are so many tentacles going about that who knows who owns what anymore. The whole point is about control of content. Sony just lacks the fascist trappings and agenda of Rupert Murdoch and FOX. It's not even a conspiracy merely what seems the most logical business practice of cornering a market. Ideas as a commercial product. For further instruction read Marshall McLuhan
Look at it this way. During the time you spend filling the tank in your H2, you will have made ten or twenty times the the money you will spend on the gas. You don't need to care about the money. It ended up being a pittance anyway. They effectively lost nothing. And consumers still flock to buy their stuff as fast as they can put it out. SNIP Sony doesn't care, They only have that end of the biz to offset the huge buckets of money they get from their electronics and movie side. Rock stars are whinny little bitches with attitudes. They make no money from Sony until the fourth album and most of their living comes off their concerts. Oh and Sony gets a nice slice of that too.
And nobody bothers with Payola anymore as they stations get a slice of the concerts that they promote. Maybe the DJs get some duckets from up and comers but self interest on the part of the station is what pushes music. If Britney is coming to town then she gets more airplay magically.
these days if I can't torrent it in audio or convert it to.pdb onto my treo for consumption on mass transit I don't read it. at least Open Office has that as a save-as option
I was sort of taking liberty with the housecleaner that lived in nests in colonist's houses. Rat based service animals. Flintstones used animals for every kind of machine, washing machines, radios etc. I doubt it's a stretch to foresee similar animal-life in our home in the next 20 years. Cats and Dogs were after all service animals long before they were pets and many still are.

I guess you could call that changing my mind.

A Galactic Johnny Appleseed planted this tiny seed from which a new galaxy will grow.
a tear comes to my eye every time this happens.
Oh, yeah, look, it's a sailboat. You saw it too ?Nothing to see here! Move along!!

Since Iraq and Afghanistan didn't go so well and Iran isn't popular expect the Bush administration to declare war on the 10.0.0.0 addresses.

Yeah, I agree with you on the spirit of your response it's Someone who needs to be reminded of this important rule of Slashdot mods.
I was sort of taking liberty with the housecleaner that lived in nests in colonist's houses. Rat based service animals.

when I am really hungry I dream of those ribs that tip over cars. Hmmmmmm
Still funnier is that a lot of the Flintstones ideas showed up in Larry Niven's known space series like Gift from Earth.
