I find it hard to believe that people don't just pick up the bike and throw it in the back of a truck and salvage it for parts. Does anyone think this would fly in North America?
There's been a lot in the news about climate change lately and I hear a lot of people dismissing it as junk science. I think anyone would easily agree that our current lifestyle must have an effect on the world as we know it. If you want further proof, try biking behind a truck and tell me how that feels. Sure, it's possible that scientists might exagerate their results so that they get more funding, but that shouldn't take away from the fact that we are seriously changing the world as we know it (probably not for the better) and that there is no way to properly predict what the consequences of our actions will be. So maybe we should start actually doing something about it...Kyoto anyone?
If their conversion rates are anything to go by, then they obviously can't measure. 1 petabyte = 1 048 576 gigabytes. Not the 10 million the article cited.
Also, call me crazy, but wouldn't bit torrent sharing also drop when students are on Vacation? Maybe by the exact same percentage?
What you may not know is that the real purpose of the CAPS lock key (on Windows systems) is to make noises each time you press it. It is configurable through the accesibility options and at the very least the PC speaker will tell if you accidentally press it.
