Clustering can be of multiple types. There is a market for highly parallel processing. Think video processing, weather predictions... HA and load balancing is a different type of clustering.
No, the point is that carbon credits are an economic penalty on the pollution caused by excessive private transport. Pollution is currently an Externality and essentially free to the polluters. I consider it a fair price for the polluters to pay more for their luxuries.
Riding public transit while toting a weeks worth of groceries just isn't something most people enjoy. Stopping at a grocery after work is seldom an option for anyone who commutes on public transit.
Why would I want to buy a weeks worth of groceries, when I can have quality stuff home delivered on call (I mean that literally, I can call the vendor and ask for stuff to be home delivered, and I'll get in within 15 minutes, max, at no extra cost. Competition is nice.)?
If road is faster for you, then you simply don't have enough rail infrastructure. If owning a private vehicle is better for you in an urban scenario, then your cities are misplanned. I suspect that paying for carbon credits would make our life interesting.
Mass transit works very well, as demonstrated in Europe and India (6 million commuters travel daily by local trains in Mumbai, that's the total public transit using population of NYC. Note that the non-train-feed bus using commuters are an equal number).
If a second crivilization was to araise, I think the biggest clue would be the nuclear waste, toxins and pollutants, destroyed ecosystem and traces of an infiniately large disaster which could possibly cause our abandoment or extinction.
The voter's ID card is essentially a national ID card. If you want to deal with large sums of money, you need the tax card (again, this has a photograph as well).
India has a whole bunch of those. There's a voter's ID and a tax ID and a passport. Name and address included. India *is* bigger than the US in terms of population too.
There is Openmoko. I really don't care about CDMA though, I have better choices amongst GSM providers with no lock-in. Welcome to the rest of the world.
Actually, text is a highly information dense medium, especially when it comes to facts. Speech is far less dense in terms of factual information, and far denser in terms of emotional content. Both have their place, but I prefer text over speech for facts (and in any case when the content is more important than the context) and any form of non-realtime communication.

a) Humans learn.
b) Form design should be the job of usability experts.
We want broadband over fibre and telephony over copper for emergencies.
I believe the founding fathers of the US would have someting to say about that.
Well, Bush is a little less likely to bomb me in the US than in another country.
Have you seen the exchange rate for the CDN vs the USD?
Yup, test driven development. It's even buzzword compliant.
The funny bit is that buses scale a lot better than cars. Reducing the number of cars on common traffic roads will speed up and smothen bus traffic.
Option C should be NULL, and D should be FileNotFound

So that's what happeed to the dinosaurs.
Funnily, the actions coming out of the US are similar. Just substitute Islam for Judaism.

It's a minimum percentage. So the smallest fine may be 1% of the gross.
8500 nanometres is a bit short.
I get it, and I am not over 35.

Mmmm, flash on 64 bit Linux is still issing.
