If you've got a firewall, watch the logs. Every day you get lots and lots of different IP addresses knocking at the door on port 445 - those are viruses looking to propogate themselves and they do it regardless of what OS you're running.
I guess that there are enough infected windows pc's out there constantly scanning the internet that you can end up infected yourself in fairly short order - even on a dialup connection.
The article is talking about burning methane to produce electricity and CO2. If you can bubble the CO2 through algae (or some other plant material - duckweed or something?) that makes it grow faster and more robustly, then you can do something with the crop that you produce.
If you can harvest that plant material for use as either a chemical fuel source (ethanol or conversion into crude oil via chemical depolymerization) or as a feed source for livestock. If you can use the plant material as feedstock for something like a hog confinement outfit, you'll be able to capture "processed plant material" that can produce methane to put back into the system, as well as fertilizer for fields and meat for food.
Umm - the sun. I don't know if you'd get accelerated growth by having higher than normal concentrations of CO2 or not - just thought it would be an interesting thing to try.
I have an older Nokia cell phone and did the same thing and got the "big" battery for it. If I use it lightly now, I can get more than a week's worth of use on one charge.
It was from his first inauguration speech in 1933- http://www.historychannel.com/speeches/archive/spe ech_254.html - kind of surprising when you remember the evil he had to deal with between Hitler and Stalin. The speech was in the midst of the Great Depression and he was telling the people of the country that fear is infectious and is part of what was killing the economy at the time.
This is a good quote to hear from time to time as it helps to remind you, as you say, that there is no point in fearing that which you do not control.
As far as the big database dragnet goes, I'm not sure that it would have helped 9/11 - policing those whose visas had expired would have likely done more good. This database dragnet might do more good in stopping things like the Oklahoma City bombing where a couple of rednecks (who didn't farm) bought enough chemicals and fuel to run a farm and made a big bomb out of them.
I also think that the Senate saying "let it be done" and it actually being something that could be done in a meaningful way are two different things.
Please excuse me while I get my bid ready to go. I think that I'll be asking for (insert Dr. Evil voice) 1 trillion dollars...
My address is PO Box "X" and my street address is something else. I often use one or the other for stuff - but rarely both - of 6 addresses 3 may be one way, 3 the other. How does the database handle this?
I've seen someone hassled by the IRS because someone keying in 1099 information mistyped a social security number and tied that income where it didn't belong. And it was up to that person to prove that it didn't belong to them.

We wouldn't have a meth house in town if I was playing vigilante.
I was thinking more like setting it up near the local meth house and publishing license plates to the web.
No doubt about that - but if you've got it and a way to use it...

Is that too much to ask?
You're not breaking any laws of thermodynamics because the algae (or whatever) would be drawing energy from the sun and metabolizing the CO2.
Or convert it into animal feed which would, through an intermediate step, "produce" methane
As would those even farther north in Saskatchewan.
Or bubble it through algae laden water - produce algae to convert to bio-diesel.

Is that kind of like GNU's Not Unix?

The database will be housed in the warehouse from the end of the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" next to the ark of the covenent.
Absolute wisdom there!
If you're going to speed, don't stand out and always look for a "blocker" - someone in a flashy vehicle going a bit faster than you.
I've seen someone hassled by the IRS because someone keying in 1099 information mistyped a social security number and tied that income where it didn't belong. And it was up to that person to prove that it didn't belong to them.
But did you know what he was talking about when he said it?
The government doesn't need your password - they just have the IRS "ask" you for a "contribution"
Travesty! Using a gaming machine for actual work. You should be ashamed of yourself for allowing that!
"I'm not on the list? How about looking me up under the name 'Washington!'"
The answer of course is that vi is better than emacs :)
How would you tell the difference?
