How about a mile (or so) long 30'-50' diameter rugged/oil proof fabric tube that goes down to the bottom over the leak and goes all the way to the surface. It could flare out at the top to as big as need be and have 10' high walls. All the oil would stay in the tube, with the surface the only place to go, from there it could easily be siphoned into ships. It really shouldn't be that hard to make such a "sock". I would think it would definitely be easier than all the difficult solutions they have tried so far.
What would happen if a hurricane went right through this? Good thing this it isn't the season yet, but if it continues and is churned up by a big hurricane, it could make a horrible situation even worse. Then again, maybe it would make it better, dispersing the oil? Any way you look at it this is scary.
If you are 1 year old, then 1 day represents about 1/365th of your life. If you are 10 years old, then 1 day represents about 1/3,650th of your life. Thus the older you are the faster time may appear to pass by. When you are 1 year old, 1 day may seem to last much longer than 1 day when you are 10 years old.
I have been saying that exact same thing for 20 years, basically what percentage of your life a day or year is. It makes even more sense if time doesn't exist. You are born, live and die all in a fixed amount of "time", maybe all at the same time.
Who is so damn board that they have nothing better to do than "attack" a web site? What feeling of accomplishment do they really get and/or what point are they trying to make? They need to get out of their mothers basement and do something with there lives.
Do we really think O B L believes there are 72 virgins waiting for him? He is insane and/or VERY misguided, but is he also that stupid? And who really wants 72 Virgins anyway? 72 experienced, some what inebriated, college age hotties sounds a lot better to me (also a guaranty of them being female).
The reviews here are mixed, but usually reviews (especially on/.) of new Windows OSs are bad at first, taking at least 6-12 months to warm up to the product. I would say that bodes rather well for 7.
No problem, just catch all the flies around your yard, take them to the lab, wait a few weeks, then bring them back home and release them. You can now feel safe that they won't bother you while your BBQing.
He's protected from 3 inch bees, that's right.
He's protected from 3 inch bees, tonight!
A 3 inch bee can't sting this guy!
A 3 inch bee shouldn't even try!

Except the Google toolbar...... WTF. Seriously, do they get how many people are sticking with FF, or even [shudder] IE, just because of that?

Where are Scoob and Shag when you need them?
Wake me up when they install the holodeck.
Extreme Close-Up?
There is no substitute
Damn, the worlds going to end before then.
It turns out that this far-flung world has more in common with Earth than we would have ever imagined.
Should we maybe think of classifying Pluto as a real planet?

How is the starship Enterprise like toilet paper?
Both circle Uranus picking up Klingons.
No, no, no. You got the joke wrong...
What do Captain Kirk and toilet paper have in common?
They are both out to get the Klingons!
The last earthlings words spoken will be: OOPS!

most awesome ...'awesome' is so over-used, but it's truly appropriate here

In todays world, where things change by the day, a "techy" opinion web page that says "Last updated November 16, 2006" is completely pointless.
It is so nice God took the time to make these Galaxies so we could have light at night. A couple more moons probably would have been easier though.
How the apes got the upper hand.
Silence! I kill you!

Critical registry entries get deleted, DLLs go missing, directories get moved and everything goes to hell in a hand-basket.
This is Windows, what's your point?
