Also, it is possible to desalinate salt water, making it into fresh water.
We hardly need to. Nature does that for us. All we need to do is to collect the fresh water that falls from the sky and transport it to where it's needed most. But if we start "greening" the deserts, you're going to see some climate changes you never dreamed of. And they could be very disastrous.
The oceans also provide rainwater, which just happens to be fresh water. I also believe that the plant life in the oceans turn the gases coming out from the planet's core into breathable air. Much more so than the rain forests, which cover a relatively small area of the planet's surface.
Why are corporations allowed to control and destroy things like legislative process and public political awareness?
Can you believe the Simpsons have been on for almost 19 years? That Bart, he's so funny... And the Cubs are still in first place! And that guy...what's his name? He might win 8 gold medals...
Gosh darn it. You're almost funny. Not quite, but I did smile for an instant. You just don't have what it takes. Or you're all of 7 or 8 years old. Besos. Don't step in the horse poop.
I'm not sure what makes them think this is a good business choice.
For control of what you hear. This will also keep you from listening to independent music. It maintains their gatekeeper status. That's what it's all about.
It's not just about his "ignorance", he's playing dumb. It's about his corruption, which everybody continues to give him the free pass he's enjoyed over the last 25 years. And about to do again while lobbying for the banks and more war. He carries every bit as much baggage as Bush. Why is this happening??
I really wish there were a viable third party to vote for.
I guess it's up to you and a hundred million other folks to make it happen. It sure won't come by itself. I think you will find that people who don't vote as you(editorial) do to be the bigger problem than than the politicians themselves. Most usually vote their own personal self interest, and the politicians reflect that to the tee. There will be no "change" until the people change their own ways. A corrupt population will breed corrupt authority and vice versa. It doesn't matter if one is just a little less corrupt than the other. It helps nobody but the corrupt if you keep voting for them. It is a disservice. You must turn your back on them, and hope your neighbors do the same.
Well, I would say that voting for the Party is throwing your vote away. You should always vote for what you believe in and let the chips fall where they may. We will see no change until that becomes the general attitude. I can tell you this, a vote for McCain or Obama is a vote for Nixon. We have been ruled by his sensibilities for the last 40 years. And furthermore, not voting is nottreason.
Nobody wants to "rip off" the musicians. But nobody wants to be ripped off by the publishers, with their corrupt, purchased legislation. Their privileges are supposed to be of a limited time. And we have to remember, copyright is a government granted privilege. And I, for one don't care how a business operates its network. I only want proper labeling, stated in plain English(or language of your choice). At the same time, it's the customer, or more specifically the end user who should dictate the terms of service. And that's fairly difficult to do when dealing with state protected monopolies, who also buy legislation to protect their interests. In an open, fair market, where even the government is allowed to compete(not monopolize), chances are we will have net neutrality.
Here, and most everywhere, we have an economy that treats labor as a commodity, but it is seen as an expense, not an asset, or investment. More available workers means higher unemployment, or lower wages. And the labor force has to play the same game as the companies. Create an artificial shortage to keep their prices up. And our economy in 2008 also depends on low worldwide wages to sustain itself. Hence all the colonization. It makes everything look all rosy inside the walled garden, while outside the story is quite different.
how an increased labor supply could result in wage depression"
Yeah, And I fail to see how increasing the oil supply will result in lower prices per barrel. In fact, I fail to see how increasing the supply of anything will reduce prices. (Sarcasm off). Let's get these guys into a union to make sure wages at least remain stable.
I challenge anybody with a calculator to come up with net assets at the end of the month faster than the guy who really knows an abacus. The calculator (and the spreadsheet) only makes it easier to come up with more useless information needing more boxes of fanfold(paperless society anyone?).
And McCain is a big loser on all those fronts also. The economy is not his bag, man. Said so himself. Be ready to bail out another Lincoln Savings and Loan or three. And He's a warmonger. Not that the other guy is actually any better. Time to vote the party out.

Little does he know that monkey spittle cures cancer, and it's an aphrodisiac. I can hardly wait for DaveV1.1

The disk is stationary and we spin the case for better cooling.

Does that answer your question?
To me, this doesn't quite make the level necessary to be called "conspiracy."
If it involves more than one person, it's a conspiracy.
The Terms of Service is set by the service...
Doesn't matter, still not law. They can go screw
Go die in a fire...
I'm thinking of making that my new sig. Should I go for it? I'll give you full attribution...

Settle down, Beavis.

Pure hyperbole!
You can just see one of the Mars rovers about two thirds up near the right hand side.

Heh, you're right. We are dealing with some fat egos with these guys. They want their names in big bright lights. Gives them a feeling of power.
Troll
Ooops. My bad for not limiting the discussion to the tabloid angle. Number rule about the truth. We don't dare speak the truth.
Shall we?
A TOS is not law. It is not a sworn oath. And we should never allow it to be. We the customer shall dictate the terms of service.

I don't think the GOP really wants the average citizen to have that kind of power.
And don't believe for a New York second that the democrats are any better. Both are authoritarians who think that ignorance is strength.
And McCain is a big loser on all those fronts also. The economy is not his bag, man. Said so himself. Be ready to bail out another Lincoln Savings and Loan or three. And He's a warmonger. Not that the other guy is actually any better. Time to vote the party out.
