Perhaps the energy from the fuel cells could be used to transform simple molocules such as carbon dioxide , methane etc. into more volatile, complex hydro-carbons such as octane, i.e., gasoline.

Wired appeals more to digital enthusiasts than to actual software developers anyway.

You want to make business decisions based on an umitigated hatred of another company: Microsoft. That is ridiculous. Why would anyone waste time and resources on such a thing? Don't you have anything better to do?
The problem with Esther Dyson is Esther Dyson. The truth is: she's just not that smart. The emperor has no clothes. She happened to be in the right place at the right time and somehow made herself "relevant" - to whom I've never been quite sure.
Her last book was completely devoid of content. I think there as been such a push to put a woman in power someplace that they just grabbed the one who's the most adept at self-promotion and not one of the many strong women who could be in this position. Not that I think that the person's sex matters here in any way.

"From the dawn of our television technology age comes the restored wonders of original recordings made in the era of mechanically-scanned television! Not until the computer era came on us could we study these images. Now they can be seen in as close to their original quality as the latest techniques can take us."
Avid runs on the MacOS in name only. They basically had to rewrite all the low level drivers etc to make it work at all. The Avid system essentially replaces much of the OS and runs on the bare metal.
The only reason they had a hard time moving it over to NT is because everything they've done is tuned to the Mac hardware not the OS.
In fact, the reason they took the time to port to NT is because users demanded it.
Aphex Twin is the psuedonym for Richard D. James, a two-fisted, analog synth ubermench. He's a Moog man through and through. All of this talk about Mac, DAT, and what ever is just a pile of horse manure. Listen to Selected Ambient Works, Vol. 1; there isn't a single digit anywhere.
Microsoft's Medical Equipment Division has been using Windows CE in pacemakers for sometime now. If that doesn't demand reliability, I don't know what does.
You're not worthy of wiping the Aphex Twin's ass. I can't believe you would dare associate him with MIDI. He, like all real men, uses strictly analog equipment.
I'd rather spend 5000 a day on Red Hat than 2000 a day on a Microsoft engineer. Red Hat must have smarter people.
From our experience, Microsoft will hire anyone with a pulse. Generally these guys have a pronounced simian aspect to their faces. They tend to speak in grunts and have nothing meaningful to say. I think they laugh at most of their clients.
Katz, I have a cool way for you to test out your theories. Why don't you set up a web site the rip all the Rage Against the Machine CD's and allow anyone to download them. Then we'll see if the owners of the intellectual property can find a way to maintain ownership.
Salon.com's stock has been floundering since it's IPO and so, like many companies in their position, they've been going through their own version of the Linux Death Spasm. This is were a desperate company, left without anything real to bring to the table, announces a major push into the world of Free Software in general and/or Linux in particular.
For example, several months ago they made a big announcement that they were switching to Linux machines to host the site. Why this matters to the readers is beyond me. Whateve they were running on before the switch worked perfectly fine, and has been since the switch. The net effect has been nothing.
Just a couple of months ago they announced a relationship with Red Hat.
In both cases there was a small bump in their stock that quickly evaporated as it became apparent to investors that neither issues had anything at all to do with making them a profitable business.
Just one more example of greedy multinationals shovelling the entrails of the poor and disenfranchised into the unslakable maw of the corporate fat cats.

The entire /. "krew" should get a collection up and hire this guy some dishrag whore to give him a blow job. He deserves it.
Blew up; cost many lives.

What else

It all comes down to syntax except for makeing Properties, Events and Metadata first-class language elements which to me is a good thing.
I like the language better then Java for these reasons.
This db roques! We have had nothing but success so far.
Use the browser as your front end. That's the only way to go.
Nobody uses GUI toolkits anymore. Your front end should be HTML.
You want to make business decisions based on an umitigated hatred of another company: Microsoft. That is ridiculous. Why would anyone waste time and resources on such a thing? Don't you have anything better to do?
or at least the Microsoft equivalent anyway.
For what it's worth (possibly not much to anyone here I realize, but hey, you don't get much Microsoft news so what the heck)
I love Outlook. This will just make it that much better than crap like SendMail.

The sooner Dyson goes away the better.

This is what Microsoft has been building into ie5 for over 2 years.
