Well, lets assume for the moment your assertions are completely accurate.
This creates a problem, if Moore's critique of the Horton ad was unwarranted why then did its creator feel compelled to apoligize? That person was dying of cancer and felt that he had not performed ethically, i.e. he played the race card.
I agree that Moore carries much more clot than perhaps he should, but what of those that make up nonfactual statements on TV and get by unquestioned? When you rant for their removal from the media or at least tempered by insisting upon that their assertions are backed by some factual evidence then I will join in your endeavor. Until them I intend to ignore you too.
The statement was the disc was partitioned without problem then there was an error message saying there was lack of sufficient space. Could one of these partitions been too small for the installation?
At least one of the responses claimed they had no problem with what seemed to be recent hardware.
I am no fan of Sun, but I will await other confirming assessments prior to fully believing their product is a complete disaster.
The <i><b>oil</b></i> is not of fosill origin, hence, the carbon dioxide released is not adding to an increase in the atmosphere. Remember too, assuming we can trust all the statements in the article, there is a significant amount of elemental carbon in the product mix.
Think of this as more of a recycling endeavor, not simple extraction to burning cycle.
I agree with your unstated implication that increased efficiency rather than simple replacement of our current energy demand should be an important part of any rational energy program. One should recognize too, that liquid fuels can play an important role in reduction of our overall energy consumption. That is, synthetic liquid fuels produced in a distributed manner the fuel wasted in just getting it to the points of consumption is lessened. Just as it is not possible to be on the electric grid everywhere, liquid fuels can be the more efficient option.
Nonetheless, I have received marketing calls with the originating number blocked to my cell phone. Moreover, my cell is a company phone and offically billed as such.
When the blockhead got thru he kept repeating he was not a company - whereas I kept saying I was and did not want any unsolicited calls.
Regarding faxes: on my last assignment a very large firm was receiving unwanted faxes. Some could be easily classed as spam. There I saw nothing done to stop the practice. Hence, while illegal, unwanted faxes are sent without consequence.
So even though these calls should not be made it probably will not stop a significant fraction from pursuing this opportunity to reach their under served clientele.
While MS still is doing well, it had to deflate future expectations in earnings. Despite the fact it has over $50 B in the bank, it just may be the time when they need to scale back to have earnings remain in the high expectation range.
Let's be fair, assertions are programming logic and if untrue you can exhibit quite a bit without stopping for another print.
Nonetheless, assertion code is not new and I have encountered it in several languages and I know <b>very few</b>. What is more appropriate is what has been pointed out by other, earlier messages: a reference application may not exist.
Sorry to deflate your balloon, but I had read months ago that a small group had pursued serious research on this topic. Many of those researchers were at the NRL and are quite competent. Moreover, they have been able to reproduce the results and where experiments failed there was a correlation to faults in the construction of the electrode surfaces. This being an earlier summary the wording of the findings was not as absolute as appeared in one of the links I read associated with this discussion.
One of the points made in the report I read is that while most were skeptical of the hype they could not entirely discount the reputation of at least one of the scientists involved in these claims. He had a long history of being a very competent electrochemist with an excellent research record.
Let me comment in general - current opinion can be very off base even in the physics community. Here is a story I heard when I was a graduate student in the physical sciences. One of the early principles in quantum mechanics was proposed by a graduate student at a lecture. The professor savaged the student, however, upon later reflection the professor reconsidered and published the idea. A clue, the principle does not go by the student's name.
Biological sciences are worse where I heard principles described in ecclesiastic terms. In my eyes the established scientists have been the most closed minded. The retrovirus was a sacrilege because it broke the tenet that life could only arise in the presence of DNA. More recently the protein type: prions are not understood or given much in research support so that assumptions by the scientific establishment might be tested. Instead we are given the best guesses by the uninformed but accepted, established scientists. [If you do not believe this check on whom the U.S. Department of Agriculture listens to - again not the leader in the field.]
There are many missteps to important epoch changing results. The phenomenon may not give us cheap energy, but something is probably there. Moreover, if indeed some of the isotopes seen really are due to a nuclear process at its base, at the very least, it is a discovery of a method to catalyze a nuclear reaction. That alone may be more significant than the obvious monetary returns of a cheap energy generation.

The stock price is even higher now. The rise is based upon Baystar telling potential investors it believes in the litigation and two it would like to business focused on that pursuit. At most it wants the company, SCO, to stop wasting their time on a real business and concentrate, quietly upon how to win their cases. And if the current management will not shut up, perhaps change the few at the top. Overall very encouraging prospect for those out for a killing with very little effort other than waiting.
One might further infer if they got their wish they would find further resources (cash) to back the lawsuites.
May not seem to be related, but last week in the NYT Science section a report on Dr Crick, et. al. research on the sense of being. The major points were how few and how localized the firing of neurons may be the source of our consciousness. Moreover, at death we are at an end.
I extrapolated this to inferring that perhaps machine consciousness may be more easily achieved than has been thought.
Short answer: consider Manhattan, it's a walk from the bus or train station to the subway. However, if the number of cars where price limited off the roads of this compact, too congested island it might be nice to walk around on some days.
Now out in the suburbs, the parking lots are of growing magnitude, a train in the to the store might not be a stretch.
One question: Why were all these wireless services collecting a number portability fee? Extra cash with no intention of meeting their obligations?
I have stayed with Sprint, not for its great coverage, service, or competence but because if I get a message I know about it the day it is left not several days later as was my experience with Verizon. Moreover, when I was a customer of the latter they were honest enough to include the day the message was left. Now I get messages back from my son days later asking why I left an urgent message. I simply backup those messages by email, since too often his messages are out-of-date.
Let's say for a moment you are correct that MS still had not attained its monopoly status.
Then, they used illegal means to become a monopoly.
Remember having a monopoly is not <i>prima facie</i> evidence of breaking the anti trust laws. However, should your memory of the sequence be correct then MS should have suffered a much greater penalty than deemed by either the U.S. courts or the EU.
I have been a research universities in those limbo positions and I have to say that the level of talent I ran into from AT&T Labs was very impressive. Even among larger academic research groups the membership is transient and manytimes the scale and level of excitment could not match those at the AT&T laboratories. Nor the consistent quality of output.
Regarding alcohol - just look at Chemical & Engineering News where there were arguments that it was futile: the energy input was more than obtained from alcohol as a fuel. I think this includes the amounts put in as fertilizer and fuel for culitvation of corn.
What seemed to be ignored was alternative sources that are now waste that could shift the costs so that it could be more advantageous. For example, burning of waste, mixed fuel or heated water from power plants that must be cooled before release.
Have you noticed it is still Winter on the calendar, but we are approaching record gasoline prices in the U.S. Perhaps that get more than a few more people's attention.
The problem with the Skateboard concept is the components to make it work do not exist at this time.
I liked the look and ideas, but much like the hydrogen initiative, it is to pacify the restless not to offer a real path to a solution. Sell em' heavy SUV's and Trucks where we make our money and offer pie in the sky solutions to keep em quiet.

I know this interview is from the 11th, but from my reading I am beginning to doubt we will even see that there was an abundance of water on early Mars.

What is he talking about? Please give me a clue, because this is astounding if true!
The misinformation I have gathered from Yahoo, leads me to wonder what they are using on their phone search. For a specific instance: searching for a company and location where I previously had an assignment I found two numbers: the supposed main number and the library. In desparation I tried both multiple times on different days and times. Neither was ever picked up.
In contrast using Google, I found multiple web sites which lead me to the real main number - no resemblence to the number given by Yahoo. That number was answered immediately and I was given the number for the individual I was seeking.
Google is not perfect, even with the advanced search where I tried to limit the dates gave me links that were both old and inappropriate. Part may be due to their really going by the date of the citation (or link) rather than the publictaion date. Moreover, I too could be at fault for not knowing how to construct the optimal query.
I have another instance for Yahoo giving invalid information, however, another phone number search engine corrected their values only after giving identical results to Yahoo's. However, initially both phone numbers were out-of-date by over a year!
It would be nice if you gathered a bit of knowledge before you exhibited how ignorant you really are.
To begin: it was the sharp new management that came in and began a buying binge that put Mandrake into a dangerous financial position. This group too was pulling Mandrake from their Linux roots. Only after returning to the original lead and those roots did its financial status and product quality improve. Moreover, Mandrake moved from loses into a profit this past quarter.
Since you are using the SCO model to critique: it was SCO that was closed source that bought the more or less open source company and has been hell on wheels since then.
Get a few facts straight before blowing off on your preconcieved ideas. It would make reading the comments here from all sides easier to take.

You forgot - this war is over!!! We Won! Bush said so.
What you are forgetting, is WWI was a "World" war, much larger scale with dumber generals, etc.
