" Studies (and intuition) show that it is more fuel efficient to fly short trip and refuel"
so on a flight from Vancouver to Japan we would have to stop in Alaska to refuel, and half the passengers would be taken off and shipped to guantanamo bay, in which case we don't need so much fuel for the second leg.
except this company is owned by the french, british and german governments, and all the pieces are moved around to spread the jobs and development around europe, kind of like military/space spending in the US.
would not a tower that extended beyond geosynchronous orbit be under tension, not compression?
How about a tower made of built up ribbons? isn't that what a suspension bridge is? a horizontal ribbon under tension?
what an amazing attitude, if we don't have it in Alberta, and they don't have it in Ontario, it doesn't exist!
Alberta is pick-up country, only lusers ride the bus in Alberta.
how about they have it in Vancouver? on the Richmond express bus route?
No you are wrong. any town with decent treatment, (known as primary treatment) removes all solid waste before dumping the water. What they are doing is in addition to secondary and tertiary treatment. The Lake Tahoe area has had to do teriary treatment for more than thirty years to protect the lake as it is such a closed system. the treated water goes in to the Truckee river.
The new lodge at the Columbia Icefields Center in the Canadian Rockies reuses grey water (from showers in the hotel and kitchen waste) after it is filtered for toilet flushing. This vastly reduces the total amount of water used, and the total amount of water to be released into the river.
Amsterdam gets its water from the Rhine.
The process for snowmaking actually works to make the water "cleaner", blowing it up into the air and mixing it with compressed air to make snow kills bacteria, as does exposure to ultraviolet light as it falls othe slopes. So makes for cleaner water in the river in the spring, and it also stores the water for the spring when it is needed more.

GPS Jamming for $50

get a grip. how long have ambulances had data transfers and how crucial is it? Not very. the ambulance attendants can either save the guy with their training or they can't. the stupid data link doesn't really do it, it just siphons money out of the health care system.
gee the company I worked for had motor carrier plates, and we had to record precisely how many miles we drove in each state, and remit taxes accordingly. thats why the big trucking companys already have gps, for more efficient dispatching, AND ease of doing paperwork for paying taxes.
and keeping tabs on drivers.
no it is Japanese for actually raking in trillions of yen.
everyone has a phone, docomo has thousands of web services accessible, cameras are old, the latest thing is movies. text mesaging, rampant. games. sending a 5 second movie costs 30yen, people will be sending lots of movies. Go to a concert, thousands of people are sending sound pictures and movies to thier friends.
for some strange reason people have a hard time concentrating on driving when using any kind of phone while driving, handset or hands free. They make more poor decisions and take more risks while engaged in a phone conversation. Same effect doesn't happen when conv. partner is in the car.

DSL Amidst Phone Wars

· Score: 2, Interesting
oh and like a previous poster said, we here in Japan have total phone competition. Everybody owns the line to their house. Of course that means you had to buy it, but it then is yours, forever. You can sell it on the open market to whoever you want. I don't have to buy from the Telco either, just get a clean on from the want ads. Then sign up for local, long distance, ADSL etc.
as for the historical versus new cost of running wires, how about new subdivisions? they are built and wired all the time. Here in the kansai region of Japan we the electric co. strung up fiber on its poles all over, so we have fiber outside the house, just pay installation ($300) and about $50 month for 100mbps. Or choose from about 20 DSL providers, (NTT, KDDI, Sony, the two railway companys that run fibre backbones down beside their tracks,) oh, and one more thing, YahooBB does IP phone for free to other Yahoo subcribers, all Japan for \7/3min. or \2.5/min. to the US.

the customers this thing targets don't upgrade. it just gets traded in (yes they do that here in Japan) for new one in a few years.
