Long answer, because you're only releasing the CO2 from the coal, as opposed to both coal and gasoline/diesel you end up with less emissions overall. And it's definitly better than drilling as we are expending energy to dig out new fuel twice.
As for your second question, look up "Algae Blooms"
A bullet proof jacket is normally made exclusively from layered fabric with an optional flack plate (modern use, older bullet-proof armor was made from solid plate).
A flack jacket will indeed stop a 7.62 NATO (AK-47) round, as well as a.223 caliber (M16) because, it is made around articulated ceramic/steel plates with a touch of Kevlar fabric to hold it together. My Korean war era flack vests are rated to stop a.50 caliber [from ~100 meters] round (although those are steel), and my lighter composite vests from Vietnam are rated for close range 7.62 NATO (and I'm sure current generation vests are better).
As for the.223 caliber rounds, they are not steel cored, although the soviet 7.62 NATO rounds were... the reason they penetrate armor so well is their profile, a 53 grain.223 caliber bullet (about the weight of a hollow point 9mm) is long and skinny like a javelin with the impact surface remarkably similar to a.22 caliber round (squirrel/small game munitions). The Small striking surface increases the pressure exerted per square inch creating a higher probability of penetration (fun experiment, buy a Kevlar vest and see if it stops a sharp knife [no, not while it's on someone of course]).
If you were reading my comment history, that particular comment (10353234) was posted September 26, 2004. I decided that because I could not find normal employment in my field (and realizing grease really wasn't my thing) that I would open up my own shop.
In the interim I've put two competitors out of business, and acquired most of the local government contracts.

Well, it seems to me that you lack the kind of skills to properly interface with the non-geek world. This unto itself limits your potential for acquiring and keeping new clients.
It could've been just me and my inability to tell them how it is, but dealing with stingy and computer illiterate mom-and-pop's was just a nightmare.
Stingy Mom and Pop's are exactly why I interview my clients... I never sign with anyone who haggles with me or is simply interested in doing things on the cheap. Blatant honesty helps also, during the first meeting with a potential new client I inform them that my prices are inflexible, my hourly rate is expensive, I don't do credit on material goods, I don't make any exceptions... and if they accept that they will receive a quality of work and service that they can't find elsewhere. I don't find it necessary to advertise, or even keep a website, all of my new clients are referrals.
Despite the fact that it costs quite a bit over $1,000 to employ me for a day, I have no shortage of business (and this is in a county with a median income of about $30,000) and little to no downtime between contracts, and because I'm picky about who I take as a client, I never have the slow/late pay problems that seem to plage the people who will take any contract.
Sorry for my belated reply, but I am in fact a graduate, and hold a masters in philosophy.
Now, after reviewing my post, I can see where you arrived at the idea that I'm rather biased against college graduates.
It's not that I don't respect college graduates, but in my experience, the best programmers, mainframe or otherwise tend to be self educated. The most talented ones that I have worked with were GATE material, and never did well in their classes due to the lack of creativity and mental stimulation.
Personally, even though I have been writing code since the mid-80's I don't think I could have completed a CS degree with my sanity, or work ethic intact.
Higher education in the programming world will only get you so far. I've done my share of both hiring and programming on both mainframes and minicomputers, and I prefer to hire non-graduates. It makes for less stuff that they have to unlearn so that they can do the job properly.
Grant you most of my experience was writing and managing an RSTS/E and RSX development lab, but CS graduates simply cannot write good batch code, most cannot even imagine a world where the limits are 16k source files, 48k compiled images, overlays and such.
Higher education does well teaching the science of modern programming, however Mainframe programming is an art, and well education does very little for the arts.
Can it read IMAP mail? And deal with x.509 certificates?
Yes, In fact it can (X509 native, IMAP is a BREW addon), The SCP-4900 has nice firmware, and in fact it sold me on just using Sanyo phones... (flip phones of course, the 4900's fatal flaw is that it likes to dial random numbers in your pocket)
I Don't use X on INSERT, so I'm really not sure... It should load fine without it (or even use the CTRL+SHIFT+NUMLOCK for mousekeys)
And on another topic, you could modify your gentoo disk quite easily to start sshd, set a root password, and broadcast it's existance to the world with a few init.d anf conf.d changes.
If you're going to suggest a Knoppix-STD alternative, why not name one that's intended for data recovery and system restoration...
The only recovery disks that I've found worth using are a custom gentoo based live-cd and INSERT
Knoppix-STD or some other live disk is good for imaging and file recovery, but lacks real utility... like editing a windows 2000 registry, or doing vfat/ntfs hacking
Go Ahead, try INSERT
(and yes, i know it's Knoppix Based)
Now, I'll admit that you can run windows without having a personal sysadmin. Even so far as things will work when you do it all by yourself.
But, there's this little problem... the difference between what works, and what works right.
Working right will lend itself to future reliability, and as a windows system admin I can state that virtually no user can accomplish such a feat. Most enterprise windows software needs to run as local administrator, making it virtually impossible for even I to to things right.
Now you'll probably argue that a lot of useful linux utilities like root permissions... but it is not _never_ entirely nessicary. Sudo and SETUID properly applied will enable such badly written binaries to function and remain secure. (Alas there is not functional equivalant in windows, don't bother mentioning runasEveryone needs to either be a sysadmin, or needs to know one... otherwise things may work, but not work right.
Sounds like you're lacking in motivation. Personally it's not as difficult as you make it sound to switch professions, in fact I know quite a few people who have done so as of late, and are better for it.
I am a programmer first and foremost, unable to find a programming job in this shithole I live in, I work as a heavy equipment mechanic. Got paid on the job training, and It only took about two weeks to get the hang of things (like learning z80 ASM). This I have done on my own merit because I'm not obstinate or lazy, therefore I am willing to do what's needed to survive. There are _plenty_ of jobs... most people are just unwilling to do them. (And that's good for me)
Enough of my rant. (of and I will be voting GOP, except for Arnold)
Indeed there are differences, but C is indeed the superset of C++. If you properly code your C [read ANSI C], it's 100% compatible.
Honestly I get tired of newbies and know-it-alls that assume because thier C compiles it's `correct`. A native C compiler can and does make assumtions that a C++ compiler cannot afford to make, but that does not mean that they're not 100% compatible if you conform to standards.
(note to the non-greybeards: C++ originally was basically a OOP pre-processor to a C compiler, and was designed to be a subset of C, particularly because of that restriction [source, `Borland C++ Techniques & Utilities`, 1993 and `Advanced Programming in the UNIX environment`, 1992)

On the flip side, interesting concept. With better execution you might be onto something
