As a Canadian, I know that there's no way that they would be let in the country. We are not like that other country with its corrupt politicians that pass laws like the DMCA.
I see all sorts of games that are ported to Mac from Windows, yet it's almost never done for Linux. AFAICT, most games are written using DirectX, and then in order to move it over to Mac, the game studio will do what?
Port it to OpenGL + other toolkits? Why not just use OpenGL in the first place?
Once that's done, is 90% of the work done to port it to Linux? Just curious.
What do you mean by industry fallacy? I assume you mean Peak Oil as a whole, and not the report.
I say there's been so much doom-and-gloom about oil, every prediction I can remember about oil running out has been proven wrong time and time again. As our technology increases, we will find ways to get more oil out of existing locations and find new ones
Let's talk about the North Sea production, then: First discovered around 1978, it was the largest oil find in 10 years. We had the 10 largest oil companies drilling there, using the latest technology and latest drilling techniques. The estimate was that it would peak in 2010. They were wrong. It was 1999.
How sure can we be of the experts predicting the peak to be 30 years from now? Also note that all the discoveries found nowadays pale in comparison to the ones found in the 60s.
It's not that oil is running out, it's that the cheap oil is running out. Peak Oil is definitely a phenomenon. Look at Texas in 1972. The price of oil was going up up up, so the logical thing to do was drill more wells -- which is what they did. Unfortunately for them, production went down.
That's the same thing happening to Saudi Arabia now, by the way. They call it "voluntary," but let's wait and see a couple of years. "Falih added that by 2006, Saudi Arabia would have 90 drilling rigs in the Kingdom, more than double the number of rigs operating in 2004." from http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cabs/saudi.html
We're currently burning 6 barrels of oil for every 1 that we find.
Considering that 95% of our current infrastructure is dependent on cheap oil, we'd better do something about this quickly.
I thought I'd take a look at Zip out of curiosity, since it's the same business model too. I think they used the same models on the front page as Intelliflix. lol.

Hah! I fart in your general direction!

Oh wait a sec...

Made me think of this: http://www.thinkgeek.com/tshirts/frustrations/374d/
Very neat. This is the first I've heard of it. I'll definitely check it out, thanks.
If that user is in the sudoers file, you still need the password in order to access root.
Use 7-zip instead.
... has enough time and energy to photocopy a book page by page?
You're confusing Imperial gallons with US gallons. $1.94/L would actually be about $7.33 per US gallon.
Ok, I finally broke down and Googled. It's the Consumer Electronics Association. No surprise then for him to agree with Sling Media.
Despite the posts above, I'm still waiting for the explanation for what CEA is.
where they BOUGHT a whole bunch of French wine and poured it down the sewers. This book burning seems about as smart to me as that.
I use artillery.
No, I'm not joking.
Why oh why would anyone want a backward OS that requires console commands?

There's technically no reason why it couldn't be done, it's just MS needs a way to force an upgrade.
Crap... you got to that before I could. :P
How would someone Window$ free for 10+ years know to do something like that?

If we were smart we would pull a brazil and start producing more corn to use as ethanol.
That's what the mainstream media would like you to think.

This is not my blog, btw. It's by an engineer who has done the math
Constant: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
The first release was Warty Warthog. So much for that theory. :|
