ALOT of people sharing email etc. inbox.dbx and whatnot on the Direct Connect network.
On Direct Connect it is a requirement to share alot to gain access to the good sites, and some people just share their entire harddrives.
As a member of a raceteam which is about to enter the formula SAE competition. (A global university based competition aimed at building the fastest racecar)
I find that 68 parameters are not nearly enough.
Modern racecars have that many in the suspension alone. And all those phony calculation with determination of how many seconds are spared cannot be used for anything concrete.
Have you ever been to prison?
Rewarding rapists and child molesters with a lifetim og gangraping, everyday beating and general hell is what they get.
That statement is just SO stupid, no matter how you look at it, prison will never be like a hotel.
Freedom is the thing taken away, is that not what America is all about? Take that away and you have punishment, killing poeple is so low, and utterly stupid.
A wind generator (Windmill) gets the "environment cost" of itself back within 3 months. After 3 months its all profit in that sense.
You are right about the weather though, it would be silly not to think that setting up 1 billion windmills would alter the weather, but thats a sideeffect we will have to wait for.
Well hurray, once you get Uranium out of the rock, its clean and easy.
But the amount of rock that needs to be processed in order to get 1kg of Uranium is immense!
They are there now!
They just need a little more focus from the various governments. Half of my country's (Denmark) power in 2012 is supposed to be coming from winds, and we are close to getting there.
Check out www.vestas.com, the world's biggest supplier og windmills.
Let's harness the nature's powers instead of raping it's resources.
Does this guy know how much energy that goes into mining the Uranium? (Clue: Quite alot)
We have to forget all the nonsense in mining our energy from the ground, and start putting some research into renewable stuff like plant-oils, wave and wind energy.
That movie is expected to draw furhter focus on the environment and specifically global warming.
This is both good and bad, as too much focus on the environment can draw focus from other points of interesets.
Danish Scientist "Bjorn Lomborg" (one of Time Magazines top 100 important persons) has been warning politicians to not forget other points of importance, such as healthcare and clean water.
I hope this does not distort the vision of politicians around the globe, lets not forget how er priotitize.
" fascist, totalitarian state score a propoganda win by landing humans on Mars first"
I wont let George W land there first either, or have I missed your point.
While the submitter might be right in hinting that the New York Times, does not know jack about the internet, they do have a point.
IRC _IS_ the breeding ground for all sorts of weird stuff, be that legal or illegal, and although many people use it for strictly legal purposes, it could do with some cleanup.
The question remains though, should IRC be censored along with everything else (little by little, our precious internet is going mainstream), or should it remain as it is?
Personally I am for the staying of IRC, yet I also share the concerns of the Times.
"We, the USA, and the rest of the world spend far too much money on military affairs"
No, you the USA spends too much, the rest of the world just spends much.
The military budget for the USA tops all the other countries in the top 10 spending category COMBINED!
As far as I recall not even 10% of the military budget is equal to what is used on the schooling system.
Well sure, but thats not how it works in every country. In America you might be able to sign up for a taking-away-of-rights, but thats not how it works everywhere.
Whats up with this France bashing?
Seriously, is this all because France and Germany (unlike Denmark, where I am from) wouldn't fall for baby-boy Bush's nagging and crying?
I did not really get the whole "french toast" and "freedom toast" stuff, whats your (and here I mean Americans) problem with the French?
I agree with you all, there is something to use the power for, no doubt.
The thing I am missing is some KILLER app, like the time when Doom came it, that really revolutionized the industry. Now all it takes is pushing the graphics from no AA to 2xAA or from 1280x1024 to 1600x1200.
While all that processor speed is mighty good, who needs top-of-the-line equipment anymore?
The new games all rely on the GFX card rather than the CPU.
Any suggestions, other than the fact that Intel is keeping up to Moore's law?
...to taking peoples licence away from them, or basing fines on a percentage of the yearly income, like they do in Finland, people would think twice then.
Recently a man was fined about 200.000 Dollars for speeding, he was a CEO, he will definately think twice.
How long before someone constructs a hack for this breath analyzer?

Media mobster (and president) Silvio Berlusconi supported this? After all he owns most of Italy's tv stations.....

All that might be so, but you have one hell of a cool tank in that CV90: http://members.surfeu.fi/stefan.allen/cv90120.html

Now phonesex will actually be an option, so there is NO[slashdot] reason to leave the house.
He lists his occupation as professional soldier, does that mean that he wardrives for a living? ;)

I'll give my view: Suppose the code is actually good and without backdoors/whatever. Alot of conspiracy theroies will be broken then.
And sadly, that will make slashdot redundant.
The heads of all caught spammers on a sticks in the town square!
I, for one, welcome our new breath analyzing overlords!
