I am just highlighting the argument of the eco-leftists, and the fact that you don't understand the issue clearly. Mining the moon would cause the same uproar as strip mining Antarctica.
What would such a water mining operation look like? It seems like you will have to process a huge volume of regolith to extract a small amount of water, in effect, strip mining! If the government won't allow it on a West Virginia mountaintop, what makes anyone think they would encourage it on the moon where footprints are permanent?
Wow, the 'hope and change' liberals have sure become cynical. Their boy is so indefensible they won't be running on his accomplishments. In the end their efforts are pointless. 10% unemployment, $5 gas, and grossly overpaid public unions will finish Obama as sure as the sun comes up.
To suggest that Putin has instituted anything other than a kleptocracy, and that the double jeopardy prosecution of Khordorkhovsky is not political is to be dishonest.
I learned Basic on a Commodore VIC-20 in 1978. I think it is a terrible choice for learning to program. I suggest newbies learn Scheme, a very simple language that will lead you as far down the rabbit hole as you are willing to go. If you are more interested in electronics you should learn C, particularly on the nice small embedded development boards that are available.
Were you brain damaged on the battlefield perhaps? Putin's assassinates journalists, jails political prisoners (Khordokhovski among others), blackmails his neighbors with gas exports (Ukraine, Latvia, Poland, Georgia), occupies Georgia, and enables Iran, Pakistan, and North Korea's nuclear programs. His propagandists make him look like an action hero, or one of the Village People.
You, sir, are the definition of 'useful idiot'.
How is 550 tons of Hydrochloric Acid worse that 550 tons of concentrated Nitric Acid? The greenies abandoned themselves to pseudo-science and engineering long ago.
Let's face it. The Volt is about Obama's vanity, the UAW's greed, and the green lobby's delusions. GM will be ruined again in 5 years. I should say the shareholders. The slugos who work there have the full backing of the US government. If you own the new GM stock you are a fool.
The PIGS teeter on the edge of bankruptcy as do several US states. Someone is going to have to fail. The EU has never spent stupider money by bailing out these countries using general funds. It is better to screw bond holders who buy the risk than taxpayers. It will be kinda fun watching California or New York become the new Mississippi.
One can come up with an infinite number of scenarios where Linux performance can be boosted by ad hoc hacks. It is ill advised. The kernel needs to be simplified not crammed with gratuitous hacks. Better to collect them in user space.
Having worked in corporate America for 20 years it is not surprising that a superb innovation like the iPad hasn't caught on. Most companies are aggressively stupid. For every worker who wants a iPad there are 2 luddite IT Windoze monkeys throwing up their tired security arguments.
Earth to Obama. Russia occupies US allies Georgia, Japan, Modova. It aggressively meddles in Ukraine, Estonia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. It proliferates nuclear technology to Iran, Venezuela, and Syria. They arm adversaries of the US all over the planet. They are an enemy of the US by any rational definition. Obama is an appeaser in the Neville Chamberlain mold.

Not surprising. The Chicoms see their future. Unless citizens can petition fairly government with their grievances, this scene is inevitable.
Yeah, that'll help.

Well that does it. Please government, double my taxes! Send the extra to the scientific elites. They know what's best for me.
(Frankly, I don't give a piss about the climate as long as I have gas for my Chevy Tahoe!)
The story is not that the Chinese are devious, acquisitive SOB's. It's that the west continues to be stupid enough to enable them. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704679204575646472655698844.html Frist post!

Georgia launched a large scale assault on their own territory to quell a Russian insurgency, a left over from the Soviet occupation.
Given the way the Chinese butcher English, they are the last ones on the planet I would look toward for a universal language, sanks.
Governments should resist becoming developers of commercial products. Collecting taxes is a better business anayway.
Bradley Manning? When is his execution? Treason is a capital crime of course.

What irony.

I hope the guy is wearing a Kevlar vest. He is lucky we have a wimp for a President.
Why you should put a Lisp system on it so he can learn to program neural networks. Have you thought about giving him some crayons instead?

Mean old BP. We still need oil. Lots of it. Drill baby, drill! Don't let the socialists shut down US energy production.
A useful idiot. Do you think Japan chaffs about Okinawa with Russia occupying the Kurils and China encroaching the the S. China Sea?
