You would have to pile up a lot of wind turbines to make an effect.
I think this is incorrect. A single wind turbine would make an effect, albeit negligible. It seems that the reasont he effect is negligible overall, is because the power contribution from wind energy in this country is negligible. Has there been any research in the countries that have invested heavily in wind power? I seem to recall the Netherlands getting 19% of the country's power from wind? It just seems unlikely that a wind farm capable of supplying a significant amount of power wouldn't also significantly affect wind patterns.
Surely an offshore windfarm would reduce wind speeds on the shore behind it? It seems like this could turn a breezy summer day into an uncomfortably hot day given the right circumstances. Everyone considers wind power to be environmentally friendly by default. Has research been done about the effects it could have on weather and climate?
libel, false arrest, and harassment all for a little hyperbole by an obviously not-so-computer-savvy prosecutor?
the kid committed a crime, albeit fairly benign, it's a crime nonetheless
I'm sure they're very upset to have lost the business of an obvious Intel fanboy. Go buy a clue, Intel has been using underhanded tactics to steer vendors away from using competitors chips for years now.
In 25 - 30 years, the data on that disk probably won't be readable by the current software available. Just like that 8-track that you will never find a car to use in. To keep your data current you'd have to convert and rearchieve every so many years.
Why on earth not? I can't imagine that in 30 years we'll have forgotten about the concept of backwards compatibility. Now, the hardware in 25-30 years may not be able to read the CD's and DVD's of today, but judging by the industry's affection with the 5 1/4" shiny discs of varying storage capacities, I doubt that.
Ms Jensen doesn't note that the example is STILL incorrect even if one doesn't assume Gates is a proper noun. Grammatically, it should be, "Gates do good marketing jobs in Microsoft." Plural JOBS. The fact that the subject is plural doesn't mandate that the direct object be plural. However, the word job would need an article if it's going to be singular.
If the yankees are up against in the world series, and you did a nationwide poll on who people were rooting for. You can rest assured that the majority of people would be rooting against the yankees.

What exactly is so terrifying about the people at that store having your license number and birth date in an XLS file? (No, your SSN is not stored on the strip, even if you opted to have it printed on your license)
It's referring to the fact that everybody loves the underdog (e.g. Google, Red Sox) and everybody hates the established monolith (e.g. Yahoo, Yankees).
I think bittorrent would be an ideal method to distribute movies legally. Let's say the price for the movie is $5 for a single sitting. If you leech the movie and don't seed, it costs $5. If you seed to 50%, it costs $3. If you seed 100%, it's $1. If you seed 150%+, it's free.
This rate scheme is obviously just for discussion, but I think something like that would be a great idea.
As popular as it is to bash Microsoft on this site, you have to remember that the vast majority of spyware is installed only after the user clicks "Yes" to install the software. It's not much different from the verification method that firefox uses before installing extensions, which can be used to propagate spyware in the same manner.
When the Firefox userbase reaches critical mass and spyware writers take notice, which is coming soon, you'll see spyware infesting Firefox profiles. I wonder what all of the bandwagon MSFT haters will have to say when FireFox spyware becomes popular...
I'll counter your anecdotal evidence with another anecdote. Here in Alexandria, LA civics/free enterprise (two half credit courses) are still required to graduate high school.
This is a perfect segue to my original point. Lack of standardization in education is a real problem. I find it absurd that a student in a Southern California public school has to follow a different set of rules as a student in the deep south. The federal government should manage all of the nation's public schooling and quit letting local idiots on the school boards impose their own personal morals and values on the children in their community.
My junior year in high school I was suspended for wearing a dress to school (I'm a heterosexual male, fyi). It was homecoming week's "tacky day" and I thought it would be funny to wear a nice old-fashioned floral print dress over my clothes. The principal flat out told me, "It may be unconstitutional, but I'm the boss in this school and what I say goes."
I'm fairly sure there have been no cases of DNA-riding diseases. Viruses basically turn a cell into it's own workshop to pump out more viruses, but I don't think it can pump out a human chocked full of virus-factory cells.
Interesting science fiction theory though.

criminal mischief is the first thing that comes to mind. i'm not a prosecutor though.

So if I tell someone to shoot the principal that would be exercising my free speech?
Why not just show a picture of an object and you a multiple choice answer of what it is?
I'm sure they're very upset to have lost the business of an obvious Intel fanboy. Go buy a clue, Intel has been using underhanded tactics to steer vendors away from using competitors chips for years now.
I've oftened wondered why nobody slapped Intel's wrists for their practices of penalizing vendors that use both AMD and Intel chips with high prices.
Companies are comprised of multiple people, who can then conspire.

When your customer demographic is Joe Q. Internet-user, linux support is not a priority.
My carrier would not let me use my own phone. They required that I purchase a phone from them when I signed up.
You should be receiving your subpoena for my lawsuit demanding equal access to first posts in 5 to 7 business days.
like $50,000 a year to Apple from him not working there anymore?
If you had even read the slashdot blurb of TFA, you'd know that he wasn't an apple employee, but rather a developer's connection member.
