Wow, that WOULD be great, is that some new kind of republican physics?. Fusion works by using "heavy water" (deuterium and tritium). The result is helium and neutrons (Two neutrons for the helium, one for energy transmission). The neutrons provide the enery. Do you know what happens if you have a massive neutron bombardement of the reaction chamber? RIGHT... you get radioactive waste. The stuctural integrity of all shieldings goes down (Like what happens with the sarkophag at tschernobyl). Sooner or later you have to rebuild it and dump the now radioactive waste somewhere. So please stop bullshitting. A better alternative would be regenerative energy. For $300 billion you could create a lot of regenerative energy. Sun, wind, sea and biomatter. Combine that with energy saving (No SUV for you!) and you could have 100% regenerative energy. Leve fission to the sun, where it belongs.
"organic goo" as a whole tends towards disorder. But if you pick out local areas there can be a trend towards order. The statistics don't count for small quantities. For example, you can say in a lottery there is a trend towards losing your money because all money invested is less than you can win. But some lucky guy will win.
It works with GAIM too, not with the global away settings, but on the away settings of your yahoo account.

Also, you fail to include the people that switch from GNOME to KDE once the distro is installed
Also you fail to include the people that switch from KDE to GNOME on KDE-default distros. And Kubuntu is not Ubuntu. Ubuntu is Ubuntu. Kubuntu is Kubuntu. In other news, A is not B. And Ubuntu is Gnome based.
The Entire Vienna University is an example but i could give you examples which go the other way.
Typically KDE is not preferred for some "solid" look&feel but because of Qt which makes development easy for Visual Studio Programmers. On the other hand, Gnome is preferred because of the LGPL.
Yeah because disabled people are the same as murderers.
I never said that. YOU said that the death sentence would be more humane. And THAT was a definition of humane i never encountered before. But i think there is nothing more to discuss. You are in favour of death sentences. You are willing to kill a specific percentage of innocent people in return for "revenge". I am not.
Explain to me why life in prison is more humane than a lethal injection that makes you die in a peaceful sleep?
That decision would be up to the person which gets executed. Explain to me why living YOUR life is more humane than a lethal injection that makes you die in a peaceful sleep? Next thing you know you think it is more humane to kill all disabled people. And all Democrats. And....
I am in favor of the death penalty as insurance against a justice system that commutes sentences on a routine basis. Dead men commit no crimes.
Well, try some crime prevention and just kill yourself, would you? If you are innocent you can appeal later....
If you want it to have any moral authority create the UDN (United Democratic Nations) and invite nations that respect the sanctity of human life.
Are you sure you want to exclude the US? Respecting the sanctity of human life is not shown by death sentences. On second thought, maybe that idea isn't that bad.
Because Hydrogen by itself is no powersource (if not using fission). The recombination with oxygen is what gives us the energy. If you get big amounts of hydogen from space and use it, you will have trouble breathing for all oxygen will be used up. Good for plants, bad for all oxygen breathing organisms (and even plants use oxygen at night).
An embodiment of the present invention provides a method and system for ordering an item from a client system. The client system is provided with an identifier that identifies a customer. The client system displays information that identifies the item and displays an indication of an action (e.g., a single action such as clicking a mouse button) that a purchaser is to perform to order the identified item. In response to the indicated action being performed, the client system sends to a server system the provided identifier and a request to order the identified item. The server system uses the identifier to identify additional information needed to generate an order for the item and then generates the order.
The server system receives and stores the additional information for customers using various computer systems so that the server system can generate such orders. The server system stores the received additional information in association with an identifier of the customer and provides the identifier to the client system. When requested by the client system, the server system provides information describing the item to the requesting client system. When the server system receives a request from a client system, the server system combines the additional information stored in association with the identifier included in the request to effect the ordering of the item.
An embodiment of the present invention also provides a hierarchical technique for displaying information in a form. Also, an embodiment provides an editing mode in which the contents of a form are displayed and when selected an editing window is presented so that the contents of the field can be edited. After editing, a form is displayed with the edited contents of the field.
A method and system for placing an order to purchase an item via the Internet. The order is placed by a purchaser at a client system and received by a server system. The server system receives purchaser information including identification of the purchaser, payment information, and shipment information from the client system. The server system then assigns a client identifier to the client system and associates the assigned client identifier with the received purchaser information. The server system sends to the client system the assigned client identifier and an HTML document identifying the item and including an order button. The client system receives and stores the assigned client identifier and receives and displays the HTML document. In response to the selection of the order button, the client system sends to the server system a request to purchase the identified item. The server system receives the request and combines the purchaser information associated with the client identifier of the client system to generate an order to purchase the item in accordance with the billing and shipment information whereby the purchaser effects the ordering of the product by selection of the order button.
Ripping the tracks from a copied CD to MP3s and then burning them back on to a CD...
... is probably the most stupid thing i ever heard. If you rip the music from the CD why would you save it as MP3 instead of a lossless codec before burning it back to CD. BTW, Sony's New Copy Protection is nothing special. It even adheres to RedBook standards. The only thing preventing copy is a program running from the CD when using a certain Redmond OS.

Hogshead, not hog's head ..
HogsheadOf course it's not from Google Earth. They are conveniently pulling the information right out of their asses.
There is NOTHING on the website or in the document which says you need Adobe reader. (The Open Office XML). How did you get your information?
Yeah because disabled people are the same as murderers.
I never said that. YOU said that the death sentence would be more humane. And THAT was a definition of humane i never encountered before. But i think there is nothing more to discuss.

So from being against death penalty you conclude i'm just "anti-american"? I am against death penalty no matter where in the world.
but please don't play games of moral equivalency between the United States and the truly barbaric nations of the world.
So the US are "good" because others are "worse"? That kind of argumentation is kindergarden level.
And maybe just maybe there is a REASON why "anti-American [...] is pretty common in the world today". Time to think about that.
Almost all of the death sentences in the U.S. are due to some sort of (often multiple) murder conviction.
And which percentage was innocent? Death sentence shows no effectiveness in preventing crimes such as murder. It is pure revenge.
If you want to criticize the U.S. on moral grounds you really just need to take a hop south of Florida to a certain Marine base...
Now THAT is obvious to anybody with at least half a brain (thus excluding dubja).
If you want it to have any moral authority create the UDN (United Democratic Nations) and invite nations that respect the sanctity of human life.
Are you sure you want to exclude the US? Respecting the sanctity of human life is not shown by death sentences.

These are not the costs you are looking for...
