Hmmm... really? In a world without oil there would be other sources of oil. More than likely solar power would be the first means of power. But I could be wrong.
As a matter of fact, I have several Internet2 connections that I use for Access Grid and grid computing. My hope is later on that Internet2 will become more open the way the original Internet did.
Just think of all the plastic products this could replace. Everything to tupperware to ziplock bags, to oil containers. I just wished I lived the Pacific Northwest so I could start buying this stuff.
I watched another show on HGTV where a guy invested $800 in solar power kit (containing the panel, deep cycle battery, DC convertor, wires, etc..) for his outdoor shed. It was enough power to run several electrical tools like his drill, table saw and a couple lights.
It would have cost him double that to run electric to his shed.
So your saying nuclear and solar are both *clean* energy sources? In nuclear you still have massive amounts of waste products that we still can't get rid of. Solar power on the other hand is the only *clean* energy source.
Last night had a great episode of the history of the engine. One thing I remember was in order to make hydrogen we still rely on fossil fuels, natural gas, coal or nuclear power.
All the technologies (except for Solar power) still rely on some sort of burning fuels to make fuel.
I just look at fiber as the means to transport all we are used to over wires, from cable TV to Internet. I hate having to dig up my carpet in my house to run Cat5 and coax to every room. Now if it was all fiber I could run one small wire to every room.
Only time will tell before this becomes the norm. I find it interesting that we GenX-ers are experiencing the same things that our parents did in their 40s and 50s when the economic boom of the Reagan years was in full swing. The norm then was to get rid of older employees and hire the youngest people, regardless if they were smarter.
You can't expect experience from a younger person when the older person has been around the block a few times. I'll hire the older people more often.
But face it, its cheaper to hire somebody than to give out pention checks every month!
Don't get me wrong, their hardware is awesome engineering, but its a overpriced for what it can't do. Why spend 15 grand on a Blade 1000 server, when a $600 Dell will do the same thing but faster in all aspects?
I for one am lucky I only have one Sun machine to administer. What gets me is that here in academia, researchers are buying high end Blade servers to do 2 things, email and database. I can do the same thing with better performance on a white box linux machine.
Thank goodness its time for them to launch again. Nobody said space travel would be perfect and without casualties. Its a learning process. If something happens, fix it and try again. My hats off to all astronauts.
Why not use a multi-client like myjabber, Gabber or Fire? Personally I use Jabber strictly for the fact that I can get SSL encryption to the server, then its my option ontop of that to run PGP encryption for my messages.
To me, in a work environment, I have to use encryption because anybody with ettercap can see the messages!!
I find it funny that most of hax0r pics like "evil inside" "evil gates" are hosted on MSN and your screenshots are [gulp] windows. Uh, are you really a moron?
You windows guys are just idiots because if its not point and click your completely lost. GnuPGP works great for all email clients. Sure its CLI, but you can find a handful of GUI clients to make keys, import, export, blah, blah, blah. Then most email programs like Evolution, KMail, Pine, Elm, etc... all support the PGP keys. So quit your bitching and click on something else...laters...

There anybody in SouthTexas selling this stuff?
Is this our first step towards a Mr. Fusion in every house/car?

Why use this old technology when they can invest in newer technology like fiber to the house and/or Internet2 connectivity?

Who gets to live in this house?
Now with that attitude we'll never get along.
"Why can't we all just get along?"
get rid of the 2 toothed, hairy redneck at the front counter? When they do, THEN it will be the hotel of the future. Or at least buy her a tux ;)
we would mass broadcast Rush and O'Reilly.
I'd like to see more high frequency research. Its that thing in Alaska. ARPA, or HARP, something like that.

This version isn't the crappy one. The Centropy release is obviously from a digital source
Heck yeah, bashing winblows makes my day! You wanna join my partnership? Oh yeah, I forget your not idiot free. Laters..
