All the technology and cleanup and reductions in the world will do ZERO good because the whole of china + india and asia (with their wreckless stupid forest burning) will out do 10 fold all the reductions the west does.
If they are that dumb, then let them suffer with 90% cancer rates and dead agriculture farms polluted to death. China doesnt get it. Its not about being nice and green for no reason, its about not destroying your only source of human lively hood.
What good is it to make $5000 billion in profits when in 30 years 90% of the population has cancer of lungs and poisoned water that costs more than petrol. Or does china want to kill 900 million people in one go? cheaporgansbay.com ?
100 rockets a day is nothing compared to 5000 coal plants in china.
So how many countries has IRAN invaded or attacked in the last 50 years? And how many has the USA in the name of 'freedom', (more like economic freedom for their corporations to make trillions)
Dont give me this war against Communism, because where is 90% of walmarts and your ipods made? CHINA!!!!, A real communist country.
Iran will never stat the fight, they at most just talk, hey, isnt freedom about expressing ones thoughts, even if it might upset some other nations, who really cares. Shut up!.
Oh and dont trust the psyops of the CIA, they dont consider you CIA material, thats why they lie to you to keep the corporate money rolling.
OT - all one has to do to piss of the USA, is buy 500 billion in T bills over 24 months, and then fast sell them in one week, and watch your local rates go to 15-20% and a mega depression. Much cheaper than a nuke, and it touches everyone.
The problem with html in general is that too many websites use 20 to 100 tiny images to do their tricky visual effects.
If HTML had the power to render small objects it would cut out those 100 TCP connections with overhead of http headers and connects.
This could be solved if you could use ONE animated gif and say img src=image.gif#5 for the frame number.
Or if you could embed images into the html, such as when IE saves webpages as whole in.MHT format. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MHTML)
The fact that a whole.html file is sent via.gz compressed mode (most sane servers support that, and browsers do too, they request a html.gz) would make those 90kb html files more likely to be 12kb.
Look at super markets, lots and lots of items in small tiny packages. Can I bring my own 4 gallon container and fill it up with shower gel? NO. Why not? Why cannot items be prices per volume, not per packet.
Or if super markets provided recycling bins so you can bring back old containers/wrapping and pay the consumer back with a store credit that will reduce garbage dumps massively. Id like to see a 30cent discount on a shampoo bottle if I bring back the old one. At least this 'discount' system bypasses taxes so you dont get taxed on the recycling (* until some idiot politician acts like a mafia boss and goes, lets rape and steal *)
Since the birth of the car people have ALWAYS talked in the car to their passengers.
Even damn bus drivers do it in tour guides.
So whats worse? Listening to someone talk? or Actually doing the talking?
Because every car has a radio that you can listen to talkback radio and hear conversations.
And dont tell me you tell your friends when they are in the car with you, "SHUT UP MORON, im driving, wait till we get there, silence UNTIL WE GET THERE"
Talking hands free is no different to radio/music at 1000 watts, and talking to your friends. Are radios illegal in cars?
Thats why I just said, bugger it, screw you , I rather change my whole behaviour than see someone get rich for no effort or work.
So thats why nothing is worth printing, unless its LARGE and on the wall. Everything can be digital (oh yeah, at least 5 copies on different media)

I am sure the skunk works at CIA/Boeing have all the data/results/secrets already.
Hell, they made the SR71 back in the old days, imagine what they have NOW!!!
They wont say ever!!! Stupid top secret morons, showing it off will not hamper anything. I bet Boeing just wants to make another $500billion to $1500 billion selling conventional aircraft for the next 25 years, then they will bring online the new models later.
"NASA Memorandum on Advanced Propulsion by R.L. Sackheim, J.W. Cole, and R.J. Litchford (NASA MSFC) Where is U.S. space flight today, and how did we get here? After 40 years, why are we slowly converging on a slightly updated Apollo architecture? Why is there no Moore's law analogy for rocketry? Clearly, we have arrived at a watershed moment in space flight history, and it is essential that we reflect on such questions in a forthright way. Decisions are now being made that could set our future course in space for decades to come, and it is appropriate that we examine the logic that brought space transportation full circle almost back to where we started."
close to 100% or more of all income $$$$ taxes collected by US GOVT is spent back to pay the banks back. So if those clowns had the forsight to have no debt, no one would need to pay personal taxes, only corporations would need to pay as they do.
But it doesnt matter, eventually, close to 100% of a $100 bill gets back to the govt, as each transaction/collection/transfer gets its small piece. It just happens quicker and in larger chunks if taxes are high, but if they are low, they get to pass through more hands to benefit more. Eventually the govt will get it. (All that imported oil is paid by debt, not local dollars)
as per patriot act, you are not allowed to say the number one trading commodity is GOLD. Either not taxed, or taxed real real real low because of 'legal tender value' being $10 per $650 ounce coin. So a tax of n % on $10 is better than $650
Customs might go, step aside sir if you have cocaine or large bags of cash, but GOLD, no problem, read the customs rules. Thanks for declration, next please....
Russia will tho give you some polinium in your sushi roll.
I personally think its more complex to have two devices.
2 interfaces 2 chargers 2 pockets 2 things to loose
All I wish apple started using is microSD cards in all ipods/iphones. Your ipod too small? plug in an 8gig microSD, they are small and dirt cheap and i mean dirt cheap, 1gig costs the price of 2 large beers or one dvd.
If every office term was limited to ONE SITTING, thereby making it impossible for someone to 'play to the dumb people' to get elected again, but do the right thing no matter if they disagree. You have one shot, make it good, prosper. Career politians are bad and wastefull because they just sponge of the system and get a 10x better pension than the average dude because they claim they cant get a job after words but in truth they end up with 500k+ jobs and a 80k+ yearly pension!!! that is not even mean tested!!!
Thats criminal! Do a crap job for 10 years, and get 50 years of 80k/year. Wow! who wants to do a real job when you could be outsourced sacked, marginalized, be a political power player, and retire in bliss mafia style.
Nobody with truly ingenius talent works for the govt, they are either hacks, show offs, or wannabee managers.
Look at history, rebels always win in the end, the govts and their cronies always end up being hanged/burned alive eventually - even if it takes 60 years, they are relegated to the scum history pages and their name is as good as dirt and never used again. I see no one calling their sons Adolf for the next 1000 years.
Yes it can all be outsourced, but thats a big risk.. since hackers/freedom fighters can 'work for' these outsourced companies.
On my XP box, its using 152meg, and thats not even talking to any one or any extensions/extras. 350 for firefox here and 210 for itunes and 110 for thunderbird.
I annoys me to hell I have to reset the setting , "start in system tray" after every damn minor update, why does the stupid update reset my settings, i dont friggin want it to start, i dont care if the first instance takes 3s vs 0s, respect my damn config settings, dont be a royal marketing ass. Oh and apple, recode itunes using REAL windows/gtk apis perhaps, ive seen XUl/flash run faster interfaces than itunes. How about a "donotstartinsystemtray.txt" file!!!!
You can easily make a working website in linked PDF, its small compressed and has any layout you like, though not dynamic unless your CS can dynamically make pdf from any source. If you have a targeted audience of specific content, then use pdf. Html shouldnt be enhanced beyond design to achieve something else. Hell even dynamically generated layout on the server side and pumped out as JPEG would work with Mapped links. Prevents text/cut/paste too, but thats an extreme custom solution.
For basic html, just use basic design, and a designer with html knowledge understanding at least on a 1998 scale.
Surely even 128m or 256 would only be $10 more. We had 400mhz ARM cpus in 2002 for gods sake, after FOUR YEARS, all we can do is 200mhz? Have a 400mhz arm , that throttles down to 200mhz when used just for menus.
Or, star writing better code/apis for visual GUIs on embedded devices, none of this 18 stack layer apis, even a 16mzh 286 did FAST GUIS in DOS 320x240 in pascal in 1990.
If todays engineers/programmers cannot do a fast GUI/system in 16mhz/4megram in pascal code, then they are hopeless stupid idiots!!, get some old school hackers to make $99 phone that shits on the iphone with 1/10th the specs.
Layers upon layers of apis/virtual machines is stupid, stupid ass!!!!
What did the N64 have? 64meg ram, 200mhz, it was good, hell, ask nintendo for rights, and shrink the N64 into ONE CHIP, then code everything using the game APIs. What you gota reweite/make new code for mp3 players and TCPIP, big deal, four weeks worth of effort, and another 8 in testing/debugging.
Doesnt any one remember (especially todays young engineers who never probably experiences computers below 1ghz) computers running at 133mhz or even 66mhz? Todays engineers are lazy and they dont remember because they were probably 9 years old at the time of what computers running at 133mhz could do.
Hell, even the amiga at 7mhz achieved better results than anything today at 200mhz. Im sure the amiga purely cut/pasted into 65micron design from CMOS could be converted to one 5million transisitor chip using less than 500mw (btw if the amiga consortium gave up their useless desktop dreams and just make an amiga mobile phone that could run ALL amiga software it would just blow everything out of the water, especially if it had 64meg ram in it which is like running windows with 8gig ram).
As mini cpus get better and low power, such as.9W 600mhz style x86 based CPUs, with ram over 100mhz and 128meg being cheap, its no sweat to have XP EMbedded, which actually still runs quite nicely on 333mhz Geode CPUs using 128meg ram at 33mhz on 1998 style busses.
This style setup would work well on a phone, and give better results. As creating your own XP embedded allows you to choose which services/apps to include to make it as small as possible.

If cuba is so bad, and Fidel is so evil and they want him dead (isnt that against the law somewhere?)
Why is Bush so chummy with a bad ass MOFO ex KGB guy like Putin that wants the old soviet russia back.
If Putin is so pro west (ie sanity vs insanity) then he would have made the KGB not so evil.
He is nothing more than a global school bully with nukes.
Look, its all bad 19th century design.
If the question said, pick the 'odd ones out' each worth n% its better.
There is no wrong or right unless the answer says so. But did the person designing the questions have a degree in writing/psychology/reading aswell?
Its easy to know who is a rope learner, vs a true genius, even Hawking flunked a lot at school.
Either they just use lousy programmers with fixed arrays or
again they use some stupid ass business manager to decide the numbers.
Btw, do windows mobile devices handle infinite entries since its MS coded.
