Well, given that the ways to make energy are exactly zero (conservation of energy), I'd say that the alternatives to windows clearly outnumber them.:-)
One alternative to windows: Electric light, and air conditioning sucking fresh air through pipes. Of course I don't think this alternative will get rather popular (and it's not very environment friendly either). But it's an alternative.
Note that this is also fusion power (though far less potent than the sun, but what in our solar system isn't?)
There's no fusion going on in the Earth. Indeed, most of the Earth's heat is still left over from the formation of Earth, with some additional heat being produced by radioactive decays.
And how many of those music files ...

Actually, at the surface of the sun, no fusion takes place. The fusion happens in the center of the sun, which is much hotter than the surface. Though still less hot than needed for a fusion reactor on earth where we can't get the enourmous pressure the sun maintains through its own gravitation.
No arguments on the Russians being able to competently crash their space station.
After all, Mir was 10 years over its planned lifetime. Unlike the two space shuttles the US-Americans managed to crash. Not to mention that the Mir crew survived...
8. The secret experiment with the transporter beam didn't work exactly as planned. Instead of beaming away their waste, they beamed away their food. Well, actually that's good luck, because the aliens at the place they beamed the stuff to (of course they didn't know about those aliens due to the alien's perfect stealth technology) will now be much more friendly than if they had recieved the waste.
Of course you can program every single method in flash. But the flash app does not adapt to the environment.
What if someone with viewing problems has special settings to display web pages differently (f.ex. with extra big font and increased contrast)? The flash animation will simply ignore his settings. Of yourse, you can make a flash animation with extra big fonts and increased contrast. But the fact is that your flash app will not adapt. It will be those big fonts and high contrast only if you had the idea that anyone might need this (and are bothered enough to make the extra effort to program it in). And even then I guess you have to tell the flash app explicitly that you want that special setting, instead of automatically taking the browser defaults.
And besides, in my experience Flash is almost exclusively used for advertisements anyway.
Well, then they'll make sending random data illegal as well.
However you could take your encrypted data and hide it in non-encrypted data (steganography). After all, they will first have to find out that all your holiday pictures are not really sent for sharing them, but actually in order to hide some encrypted messages inside.
I'd like to tell you, but it did take less than 666 seconds to get the site slashdotted by more than 666 slashdot readers clicking on the less than 666 links in the summary.
Well, HD-DVD coming doesn't mean BluRay may not come, too, at a later time. I guess the dream of the content marketers is: * First, sell the content on DVD (this is what currently is done). * Then, sell the same content again on HD-DVD. * Then, sell the same content again on BluRay.
That's three times the revenue, instead of two times when going directly to BluRay.

A button? No, they'll use a 0-click-solution: The browser will append "me too" postings automatically.
This will only cause new file sharing protocols to be developed outside the US.

No, not all life. There are some life forms in the deap sea which are powered by vulcanic power. Indeed some researchers think that life could have originated there.
Well, the problem isn't that nobody wants to have it. The problem is that there are two countries who want to have it: France and Japan.
You mean the bugs have eaten all the food? That would be an explanation!

Of course, it's a shame that the Russians are almost two years behind with their planned space shuttle flights to ISS. Oh, wait

For all intents and purposes?
Have corporations the right to vote?
Ice? I didn't know that frozen water is considered a hard drug.
8-track player? What's that? Aren't you satisfied with the Edison Phonograph?
Just wait until the new smart shower gets installed ...

Another one?
Interesting. "All my images are created by gimp" then probably isn't something which indicates high quality pictures either ...
... or 37x18 pixel thumbnails. :-))
(No, the numbers are not arbitrary
Netcraft confirms: Slashdot humor is dying. In Korea only old people criticise the use of the number 666.

Please tell me, how is locking out Linux making the system cheaper?
