Don't think so. Gas pipelines are also subject to this damage from backhoe operators - normally the backhoe operated hired by the pipeline operator. This is a non-US phenomenom - in Australia here and it happens far too frequently.
May have lucked onto something in my archive search though - looks like I may need Ghostscript installed or activated or something - is hard to tell if it is enabled by default in ubuntu. And maybe a special driver for the canon not sure.

You want clean breathable air - maybe pay for it and tax those who dirty it.
Oh sorry you are in the US and but getting your tax system right isn't something that is going to happen soon. Mind you most countries tax systems are fairly ludicrous - so you aren't alone.
Are they planning to tax in-house software? Who sets the value?

IANAE either, however I work in markets, and this has been studied. Sorry no refs to hand.
A liquid (ie active buying and selling) secondary market encourages primary sale in that it allows you to manage risk by being able to get in or out of a position.
So the initial purchase risk is lower becuase you can get of it - not totally.
Witness books - do you know any college students who plan to sell their used texbooks? ask them if they would have bought them if they knew the couldn't sell them back.
The thing I want to see is footage of a slab of the crust dropping.
There is some speculation that the lava covered plains maybe due to the core of Venus cooling and shrinking enough that slabs of teh crust essentially can longer be supported and break free and "drop" into the mantle.
As someone in the Energy business - in Australia - but I watch the US markets, some advice.
1) all forecasts are wrong. But the trend is your friend. 2) try and get real independent data, the EIA is OK, but the US is large and the markets vary wildly from region to region http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/commodities/energ yprices.html the futures markets can be a good guide - if you are severely exposed to Energy prices hedge at least part of your load - by contract with supplier or however. The board will not like the excuse that something could have been done but wasn't. 3) if the cost of energy can stop you eating or slow your business, read your contract very carefully, watch out for stuff like - "market adjustment" and "pool" . If in doubt their are any number of consultants who will take your money to help you - perhaps find one who will take a percentage of the savings between old and new contract. If you are on a regulated tariff, sorry you are about to be screwed as the regulators almost always give pool price pass through. 4) natural gas (my specialty) - if you are relying on natural gas in winter to keep the lights on/datacentre humming - DON'T PANIC. Be prepared. Can your emergency generator take liquid fuels? If so has it been tested? Has the fuel been checked? What does your fuel contract say about resupply in the event of a shortage? What resupply priority do you have is a good question to ask your provider. There may or may not be a natural gas shortage in the US this winter, but if so who will get priority - houses or businesses? Where do you rate? 5) extreme weather will test the energy delivery system - if there isn't enough natural gas or the price skyrockets, the price of electricity (as gas is often the marginal supplier) will also go up. There also may not be enough transmission capacity in you area if everyone tries to turn on their own site facilities.

Is your ubuntu up to date? If so try copying some files to a CD-RW for me.
Seems like someone has broken something - pmount I think in breezy. Not sure if the upstream changes (for dapper) have been backported yet.

Nil.
Won't even confirm a connenction to stupid thing.
No test page will come out.
So when does organising mas access to a public resource to cause a nuisance become an offence?
All those people who encourage people to write to politicians - when does that cross the line?

If you are having network problems and on a system without the man pages and do google for man - specify linux man pump - not just man pump
though you probably know how to use that command I didn't

any idea on how big the upgrade is? On 56k dialup makes a big difference.
I don't mind 100 Mb (I can leave it running while at work and overnight), but much more than that is too much.
