Diebold also ran into problems with North Carolina. North Carolina law requires voting machine makers turn over all their source code to the state for review. Code gets held in escrow all the time. So I don't buy their excuse. For some reason I get the feeling that Diebold is trying to cover up really bad and insecure code.
Because everything *is* going to be fine. As oil gets more expensive (it'll never run out completely, because it'll get prohibitively expensive to extract first), we'll either find a new power source or we'll use less power. Why use less power now, when we *definitely* don't have cheaper alternatives?
That is like me running up massive debt on my credit card. It's okay I am sure to make more money! That's a very liberal attitude towards a finite resources which our economy is based. By the way Kuwait just lost half of it's proven oil reserves on friday. Even more sobering is that many middle eastern countries may have also overstated their reserves.
Unless there is a wireless grid the users of voip will still be dependent on the cables coming into their house. Those cables for the most part are owned by the telco/cable companies. It's not really an end to the Telco's it is more of a transition of services offered.
Good point. We see this happening now with the no fly lists. Some accidental like the 3 year olds and some wickedly "coincidental" like the author of an anti Bush book.
More alarming is that many innocent people lost their careers during the McCarthy era. Any one remotely connected to a communist group pretty much had their lively hood destroyed. Innocence is judged by the whim of those in charge and not by a consistant morality.
At amazes me that the party which claims to be against Big Government is always trying to implement government controls in our lives. It also amazes me that the same party calls it's self conservative while it continues to rack up huge debts over the past 5 republican terms in office.
I agree that they are working off the affects of Katrina. However, the lack of new major Oil fields is a fact. Like I said we aren't going to run out of Oil soon. However, we are definitely in a decline.
Oil sands are also very expensive to refine Oil from. The best way to get the oil is to inject steam into the ground. The problem is it takes alot of energy to inject that steam. Thus you are loosing a much greater amount of energy then traditional sources. They are realizing now that those sources aren't as profitable as they once thought.
Your probably correct. They are probably using the technique of drilling in from the side and pumping in water. The only problem is you then have to go through extra refining steps for the oil.
I hear that this newfangled wireless stuff might just catch on...especially for the rural areas that are not yet wired.
Please tell me how one would acquire Wireless electricity, Mr. Tesla?
Just as I don't believe we're anywhere near to running out of oil in the next 1000 years
"I study 5-10 mining reports a day and all I see is more and more oil"
I agree with you on Copper. However, I think you may be off on Oil. I have read that it's been 2 years since any new major Oil fields have been discovered. For the past 50 years we have found at least 1 new Oil field a year. The cost of Oil has also gone from $30 a barrel to $66 a barrel. I have also read that the north sea Oils production peaked 3 years ago and is on it's decline. We will never completely run out of Oil. however, we will run out of enough Oil in the next 75-100 years to make life interesting if there are no alternatives.
If there's a true need for it, won't the market fulfil the need [google.com]?
Not always. Examples would be the Interstate Highway system and TVA. The market generally won't carry large scale farsighted neccesities. The highway system and TVA served as a primer for private commerce in the US which we are enjoying today. Some projects have to be done by the Government when private interestes can't deliver. Quaero obviously is not one of them as several private companies are in the search engine business.
My father in law has a duct tape wallet. It's proven to be very sturdy and no oozing adhesive. My wife ordered it as a gift. The best thing is that when the wallet did wear in one spot he recieved great customer service from the company. They not only sent him replacement duct tape they sent him an additional duct tape wallet at no charge.
Back in 2002-2003 there was an online service in the UK called court services. Basically one could launch a claim online. This isn't a new concept. I am surpised the Register which is a UK site missed that one.
It is people like you that would rather the poor stay poor rather then allow them any chance because of your own guilty conscience.
I've heard a similar argument applied to the slave trade...
These people are not becoming human lab rats for disposible income. They are becoming lab rats to afford the basics in life. There is a difference between giving opportunity and economic slavery.
Economics aside these people should be warned and made understanding of the dangers. Which according to the article they are not.
As has been true since the start, iPod owners mostly fill up their players from their own CD collections
Yeah I pretty much just buy CD's and rip them to the apple. Maybe I am being picky but if they took off the DRM and had lossless or higher than 192 bit rate music available for download then I would never buy a music CD.
The telcos basic fear, of course, is that the end to end design of the net will erode the telcos ability to use service charges to generate revenue for delivering video and voice; the proposed solution is to break end-to-end in order to protect pricing leverage over the users.
Translation of above paragraph...
The telcos basic fear, of course is that the end to end design of the net will further erode the telcos antiquated business model. The proposed solution is to use legislation to protect and keep their business model viable for many generations to come.
Good point about Ubuntu. I just started using Ubuntu and found Gnome to work pretty well. After years of prefering KDE I am now using Gnome. That being said maybe it is just the way Ubuntu pieced Gnome together. Maybe if I try Kubuntu I would go back to thinking that KDE was the dogs bullocks.
In Brittan Axe is known as Lynx. Same Comercials , Same product, Similar logo and tag line. Instead of the the "Axe effect" it's the "Lynx effect". The UK had the product first though. I remember seeing Lynx back in 2001 and thinking how funny the commercials were and that I wished we had comercials like that in the U.S. Pretty interesting how they slightly change a product to market to different countries.
Don't under estimate the importance of being in the same time zone. I've worked on projects with Americans over 5 hours difference. (Europe to America) It was still a challange to have Americans that once worked in the same office trying to coordinate over the timezones. I've also worked on projects with people in India. The greater the time difference the more overhead that's required to keep people syncronized. PM's get sucked into the whole "People working 24/7" thing. However, the PM's have never put in the work requried or hired additional PM's to keep those people on the same page. I would much rather work with someone in my own timezone. Realworld experience tells me that the labor may be cheap. However, the additional managment required ends up negating most of the bennefits.
The Italian village of Viganella plans to do the same thing
I submitted this story a few weeks ago and was rejected. I guess the slashgods of the day didn't think having giant mirrors on the side of a mountain was cool enough.
"I agree. but the UK is currently more supportive of US foreign policy than is France and it wouldn't do to ruffle feathers there."
Britain knows where it's bread is buttered. Britain goes along with U.S. policy for its well being as it's the only way they can still be influential over countries which used to be in their empire. Britian's inability to project military power was displayed during the Falkland Islands war. Analysis of that war shows that luck and poor Argentine strategy allowed them to win. Britain is just along for the ride with our foreign policy. They would never be able to wager for resources in the middle east without the U.S. The French on the other hand have been rivals with the British for hundreds of years. France and Britain have conflicting interests as a result. The French know that Britain is the U.S. lapdog so why go for super sloppy thirds?
As Americans we are increadibly influenced by British culture from the 17th to 20th century. How many French historical figures do you know as opposed to British? How many British authors did you learn about as opposed to French authors? Even though the majority of Americans have never met a French person they still have lued comments about the French. We have also learned that disdain for the French from the British.
"Cryptically stating that Asia wants the U.S. to become 'the France of the 21st century,"
Wouldn't a better analogy be, "the England of the 21st century". After all we do have troops in the same cities around the world (Baghdad, Kabul) as Britain at the turn of the 20th century. We did take the position of world power from the British. Much of our common law is based from British law. But hey, the sun never sets on the British Empire....
If you are looking for a biblical link you can find the flooding of the black sea. The black sea flooded around 5500BC. This would have flooded the area Noah lived. However, it would have been a couple thousand years before Noah. The date however, does coincide with the Sumarian Epic of Gilgamesh. Many historians believe that Noah's story is actually basded on Gilgamesh. This would not be surprising considering that religions tend to "inherit" items from other religions. Examples, such as Angels that are similar to Roman gods and Greek christian church's which were once used as Greek pagan churhces before the rise of christianity.

The fact that there is a scientific explanation for these things does not disprove the existence of God.
You must provide proof that god exists before anyone should feel the need to disprove the existence of a god.

Or the more simple explanation is that most societies depend on a nearby water wource and are thus built dangerously close to water. Take modern day examples such as New Orleans or the Netherlands. New York even lost a resort island called in 1893. Archeologists are finding scores of sunken cities from different time periods all over the world.
