    China, India and Eastern European countries do not ammount to 36% of emissions. Besides Russia may ratify Kyoto this year and China did so already as well as India. Several of east european countries will become members of EU in some weeks and have the corresponding legislative in place already. So what are you talking about? US is simply protecting their ability to reduce production costs by f*ing up the environment.

    Yes, the rest of the world would get in better position when competing US. But rightly so. US takes unfair advantage and that is wrong. I don't need any study to see that the temperatures raised in last years.

    Right. I came way late to the discussion, and read many opinions here. It makes me feel strange that watching a clip where a person dies is not enough to make you feel in some way. It takes the knowledge whether it is for real or fake to make you feel sick or to enjoy a movie like Desperado.

    Virus of these days come in e-mail with suggestion to unzip the attachment and run the resulting .pif.

    > it's not like we're going to upgrade MS Office in the next few years either.

    The decission is not yours. It's Microsoft's. Just try listening to news about DRM, license changes and next version of MS OS features. Yes, there are plenty of Office 9x in use today. But that is one of the primary goals of Microsoft - to change that and force everyone to upgrade. You think, they can't force you? Just wait for next Welchia, MyDoom,XY that will force you to go to SP4(/SP5/SPn) which in turn won't work with your Office 9x.

    Ughm. I mean. I have no problems mapping 10-15 phone _numbers_ to names. Actually scrolling to the right name in the cellphone takes longer than typing in the number - especially if you don't know whether you entered John Doe or Doe John in the adressbook. I use an old electronic diary (Casio) for my addressbook. Holds not only name and number but also e-mail, birthday, whatever. Currently there is over 200 entries there and I know about 99% of them.

    Your are right, I'm too lazy to read it, so I read only the analyzis.
    And this is what I see:

    FBI and CIA can now go from phone to phone, computer to computer without demonstrating that each is being used by a suspect or target of an order, or even specifically identifying the person targeted. The government may now serve a single Title III wiretap, FISA wiretap or pen/trap order on any person or entity nationwide, regardless of whether that person or entity is named in the order. The government need not make any showing to a court that the particular information or communication to be acquired is relevant to a criminal investigation. In the pen/trap or FISA situations, they do not even have to report where they served the order or what information they received.
    To me it seems thay need just "any" warant. Hm?
