well, you could always find out what your friend wanted to buy with the cash, buy it, and exchange the purchased good. or buy items that have trade value (jewels, food stamps, phone cards, etc. whatever commodity had street value). This is how the black markets will get around cashless societies, they will create a form of cash, a new currency, be it cigarrettes, victory gin rations, etc.
the only way to regulate this is to have all items tied to the individual, and disallow possession of other persons items without a properly logged gift transaction.
I agree that we should not create more farms for the sole purpose of creating fuel.
However, this proof of concept (as someone previously mentioned) is not the final end answer, but an important bridge until we move away from traditional combustion engines.
Using [non-fossil]biomass oil fuels is critical because we can refine biomass oil from existing organic waste that is currently being produced by the agrocultural industry (and many other industries as well). Incorporate a system of waste collection at the farm and factory levels and this would tap into an existing resource.
Much to the chagrin of Charleston we could fuel cars with soylent green. (or cows, orange peels, walnut shells, whatever)
Fuck the zealots, it is the rest of capitalist/materialist Ameriworld that needs to hear about other operating systems. If the zealots would figure out that they need the "idiots" to actually gain marketplace, then there would be some serious desktop competition and both windows/ and *nix would benefit.
Point is -- my mom knows of google, she will now hear of linux. Lots of people are hyped up about Ubuntu, good, anything that gets people hyped about linux.
People seem to shun solidly engineered products and years of experience, and switch to the newest and latest obscure fad distributions that are released by some drunken geeks in a dorm room, like Ubuntu.
Yah, drunken geeks are more popular than engineers, they figured out what the vanilla public wanted, and people are psyched about it. Who cares how, or why, as long as people are switching, its all groovy.
BTW,.rpm was good at teh time, but all else sucks when compared to portage. Say what you will about gentoo, the portage system is the greatest installer/package manager ever. Thats why microsoft hired the founder and main developer of gentoo and portage.

Waste of talent or not, this is a very good thing.
Having such a hot and well known company pick up Linux is very good. Especially when it pickus up a LiveCD distro that anyone can pop in and play with linux. This will introduce MANY people to linux, for no other reason than having the Google stamp on it.
They cry, but it is not about pr0n. And it is not about the children. It is about a huge database belonging to the new library (internet) and they wish to flag a few million books, allowing them to form complex profiles on most of the (connected) population.
How insane?
Average M-16 round muzzle velocity: 2,800 feet (853 meters) per second
Slow tank round: 950 m/sec
Faster tank round: 1,400 m/sec
An elevator that moved faster than a bullet (a fast bullet at that), and comparable to a tank slug would indeed be insane.
As long as it accelerated slowly, it would be fine, but you would run out of building before reaching maximum speed!
This is why I think more hardcore gamers will go over to systems like the xbox 360.
I am really looking forward to the next generation of consoles, as it seems like they can finally compete with PC gaming. I would love to ditch the current cycle of video card and system upgrading, and get one of the new fancy iMacs (say what you will, man are they nice to USE, like, for stuff other than gaming, work and the like).
But I neeeed a mouse! You can't really play FPS without a mouse! Sure Halo and the like are nice, but it is nothing like the twitch of Tribes 2, Q2, Q3, ET, UT, etc!
Release a good FPS controller for the consoles [read MOUSE and ~24 keys], and I will not play games on my PC anymore! (except for Tribes, I can not quit)
my state can continue to issue licenses and ignore the data gathering burdens of the act by simply changing the color of the license and printing "not valid as federal identification" on the front.
Of course, then I may need some alternative form of ID if I wish to deal with a federal agency... But it's cheap this way.
Cumberland farms (a gasoline/food/booze chain) here will not accept a passport as valid ID to buy booze, but France will. Why? "We just don't, they tell us not to accept passports".
this is all well and good (except for the fact that the whole idea sucks), but what happens when "not valid as federal id" has the same meaning as "this is from a box of crackerjacks"? State IDs will become worthless as soon as gas station chains start refusing non federal IDs for booze, cigarettes, and porn.
Have any backdoors or shady exploits been found for Mac?
I have long supported the theory of M$ having deliberate secuity holes for our intelligence agencies, it makes perfect sense.
I know that open source systems have less because of public scrutiny, and it would be much more difficult for an outside party to slip one in without the public knowing. I am looking to move away from a windows desktop (not only for this, im fed up with most of windows), but what are the evil conspiracy theories for Mac? Aside from Steve and his bizarro reality distortion?
Wow that Telma is pretty neat, slowing the drive shaft or axle with electromagnets.
I also recall a "reverse clutch" (I do not know the technical name) that would spin a large flywheel to absorb momentum and bring the bus to a halt.
Regular clutch would disengage, "disconnecting" the wheels from the engine, the "reverse clutch" would also engage, "connecting" the wheels to the stopped or slowly moving flywheel. The heavy flywheel would then spin up, and transfer the forward moving energy of the bus to the spinning energy of the flywheel. When the bus needed to start moving again from a stop, it would use the flywheel clutch to start moving, and then use the "normal clutch" driven by the engine.
I wonder if this type of setup could get around the patent, use the flywheel to slow the car, start the car moving, and change the kinetic energy to electrical while it is spinning by attaching a generator to the axel of the flywheel. The weight of all the extra parts, clutch, and flywheel might kill the efficiency, but as long as there are fewer emmissions without any sacrifice elsewhere it is net gain.
for bands that are looking for exposure, not profits.
I aggree that a cheap-per-song service is needed, but until then, I support lowpro bands via.......
its been mentioned before, i'll mention it again:
CD Baby, baby.
not at $.25 or $.50 but inexpensive, and in the spirit of the artist.
I have no affiliation with the site, but they do good things for the artists, and have sent me "extra" CDs with tunes from other obscure artists that fit the genres of the CDs I ordered.
another great way to support bands, and to support good use of P2P apps, is Furthur Network I have used this for years, and love it (killer Talking Heads shows!). It only trades live music, and with bands that have given Furthur Net approval to do so. Most of the stuff I trade is lossless, as is most of the music in the network, either FLAC or.shn (Shorten) lossless codecs.
I have been facinated by this [fnord]idea since I heard of it.
crazy tales of it included people seeing the Eldridge in one place and then another hundreds of kilometers away; notes describing the horrors of the screams of sailors fused to the hull before scuttling the ship; all sorts of strang, terrible, and neat [fnord] stuff.
Given that this [fnord]project was at a time when there were plenty of [fnord]skunkworks projects (umm, atomic bomb?) I would think that there is probably some [fnord]credibility to the ideas that the military scientists were trying to do something with crazy new ideas in [fnord]physics.
Nevermind if they were trying to bend light around the ship, or teleport it, this was the time of "damn it all, do what it takes" physics.
I am not saying that the scientists were being needlessly reckless, but it was a time of much tension and [fnord]revoloutinary ideas with unlimited budgets.

Right! This totally works, look at the peaceful world that Hiram Stevens Maxim wrought!

OK, so normal soap _does_ burst the wall of the cell, and chems like triclosan kill through other means.
?
!!!
do you have the article(or vague recollection of terms i could search on)? That is a new idea for me.
I never understood "Anti-bacterial" soaps as I thought that all soap /was/ antibacterial by nature.
I recall something about the bacteria having a wall of lipids, which are soluble to alcohol, fatty acids, salts, etc. that are in "soap".
what is it that the anti-bacterial agents have that the soap does not?

I never thought about hate crime that way, and I am normally pretty tuned to such things.
Thanks!
And so, to try to get things somewhat 'right' before leaving, we are forced to meddle some more.
Two or more wrongs still do not make 'right'. Has everyone lost all virtue?
