'Coal shock' is not something one ever hears.
The first and foremost reason for electric is to move away from a situation where an Iranian deputy minister can eat a bad burrito and send energy prices skyrocketing.
We can sort the hows of electricity production later.
They even look decent when you hook up the computer to a regular TV.
At which point you ask, what's the point of going through the cost and hassle of printing them ?
If a 100 Slashdoters were told that they could get into an Officemax/Best Buy/Circuit City and fill up a cart with whatever they want, and just walk out -with the chance of ever getting caught being 0.0001% - How many would resist the temptation
Finding and downloading stuff takes time and effort.If your average German knew that the Buffy episode is going to air a week after the US, he wouldn't bother with P2P.
And you're using moral/legal arguments against practical, real-world solutions.
The RIAA/MPAA is getting nowhere with that attitude.
Nobody really knows who actually runs Kazaa these days, much less who invested in it.
The RIAA lawyers are lost in a labyrinth of dummy corporations that leads nowhere.

the Euro 2004 people are still waiting for their patch...
Not to mention fuzzy Chinese-Room type argumentation.

The X Prize is about getting to Low Earth Orbit. Getting to the moon and back is several orders of magnitude more expensive/complicated.
You can use Bittorrent to get all the shows other have captured...
to predict technologies and processes 20+ years down the road is beyondd amusing. You cannot predict breakthroughs and discoveries.
What is "not too distant future" in hype-speak ?
Even years after their death.
