Nah, according to the UK research the amount of energy and pressure is no where near enough to create a black hole. it may be a few factors hotter than the sun but the pressure is _alot_ less as can be expected from earth based fuision reactors.
I'd be more worried about sudden aurora springing up on the Texas equator.
We must learn to factor the human need for boolians instead of more variable states.
I say this time now is unlike anything before, so it took 20-30 years instead of one night, nothing will take one day apart from a vogon constructor fleet.
When hydrogen burns there is only one emission, water.
H2 + O -> H2O, practicably high school science. If you store your energy in batteries it's just going to leak like crazy.
which is why getting hydrogen is so useful, this article in the el reg http://www.theregister.com/2004/08/13/green_fuel/ shows how a uk company is creating devices that use solar energy to create hydrogen, enabling a better way to store the energy as well as a method of 'filling up' should you run out. they are also thinking about putting these things in the desert (although I'm not sure about the logic since you need water).
This issue isn't about changing the world, it's about creating technologies that fit into the market.
I know gentoo has an etc versioning system that means it's portage doesn't scribble over your config files.
although it would be rather good to have etc constancy or at least files that have most of the options in them, or man pages that are verbose as well as the short and sweet.
Ah Linux, you may be a Cutie, but your still just a cobbled together Frankensteins monster.
In most cases you can get replacement keyboards for laptops, granted it's an extra cost (espialy if your not a tech person) but it would solve your key problem.
Unit PCs are a diferent matter.
what I found interesting is that I have only ever bought software online once in which it charged me VAT, alot of US online shops that sell downloadables are breaking export and import laws.
I remeber trying to get samba, cups, printers, networks, any kind of hardware what so ever, (keybs even), exim, firewall, apache, cron... Linux my friend your just not there yet, learning Linux was like learning how to breath under water, I kept having to reincarnate.
I'm sick of Linux GUI problems, Webmin is the only thing that comes close and thats web based. the very first module I did back a college all those years ago was GUI design and userability, why did no one else take that module and become linux developers?
p.s. gui developer avaialble.

Yea yea, rip off briton, I still say the math is wrong as it's normaly the worth of a product not what you can get away with selling it for.
Dosn't stop any of us having Cable though, but it does say alot about why capatilism in the UK dosn't work as well as in the US.
With Mac OSX being now so close to Linux then ever before someone just needs to give Adobe a prod in the right direction and close source Photoshop for Linux would be there.
Now if only my tablet would work with either Mac or Linux... back to USB Drivers Email List me thinks.
you should see the problem we have with imigration, we don't have a writen constituation, no oath of aligence, people go missing in our country and we never seem to find them again until they claim dole or use our health service under new names.
I for one would not like to be in the USA, I'd miss Yorkshire puddings and gravy, good chocolate, custard, bbc comedy and not being prone to natural disasters. (Oh yea and the best health service in the world), we just have this problem of not being a very strong market place, so companies hike prices and we get ripped off. God Bless The Queen.;-)
What I find tragic is the loss of morality in almost everything to do with money, people put the worth of things, tickets and even time much higher than is sustainable.
I'm getting sick of greedy artists, if they don't enjoy creating art then why do it? money? ha then it is not art and they have no right calling it so. it is a product, one which is over priced.
then you get all the greedy lazy people who don't have to do anything at all to get money, by logic that _is_ stealing and blaintly points out that some one is getting used. but thats just logic, very hard to apply to reality.
I'm reminded of Douglad Adams Removing 1/3 of a planets population, all the middle men. sounds about right to me.
It's funny, I have always said that programming is an art, reason being that if it was such a hard matalic science, there would be programs that could program better or as good as people.
But this distracts from the artical, I find misinformed people like this that have a hold in some form of trust with the general public to be scary in some respects, but in others I find that a loud mouth bigot shouting his head off does more to promote our cause then 10 hackers with good software solutions.

Yes they might decide to nuke all cities in the world were all the computers that they exists on are... Erm,

Do people count the internet as a singlarity?

shame they can't be stored at atmospheric pressure, be interesting to see how much the cars would float.

Thats not flying it's falling with style.
I'm an open source Rock Star, where do I sigh up?
A monopoly in UK law is defined as 25% or more.

well maybe over exadrating the exchange rate http://www.telewest.co.uk/html/internet/internet.h tm
Telewest say 53 ($90) for 2Mbs from April.
In the UK you need a phone line with any ISP, even cable since the cabler operators expect you to have the phone line with them too.
although compared to the USA, the UK is a sick and twisted joke of pricing and speed, 2MBs for $120 anyone?
What I want to do is get a bot to put McBridies Visa number in every one. Mwhahaha.
How many ./ers can read morse code (or decipher) considering we'er all geeks.
It took me a whole afternoon to learn.
