None of the governments at this point give a crap about global warming. The real concern is peak oil. Soon enough, nobody will have a choice but to cut-back on co2 output because they won't have enough oil. Any call to curb oil use is to help position the governments for the pending oil crunch.
Future standards could very easily make my issues a dead issue, as could using 5Ghz instead of 2.4, but as is, in the areas where short range wireless would be of use, the chances of interference is the highest, and 802.11b isn't really up to snuff for such situations. The problem is the saturation of 802.11b vs. other standards.
You mention a Linksys, which happens to be what I have at the moment, but I've used Cisco and other brand equipment with several brands of wifi adapters with the same results. I can TOUCH my laptop to the AP, and not get a clear signal when I'm having a problem with other devices interfering. One of my neighbors has a cordless phone (not sure which one, but this is my guess) that when they use, the signal drowns out the wifi signal, and I had the same issue at my last apt. I've talked with many people about this problem, and it's nearly a universal thing that I can tell--at times wifi simply drops out due to someone's poorly shielded microwave, their phone, etc. I'm glad you happen to be lucky with your service, but I don't think this is the rule, it is the exception.
Convicted drunk drivers often already are required to have a device they have to blow into to turn on their car. Should be more accurate than measuring it off the skin.
802.11b is a very poor means of delivering bandwidth to anybody. Because of interference from cordless phones, even inches away from my AP, I can't get a clean connection through many times. This type of interference I've experienced on several brands of AP's with several different wifi adapters, and they all experience the problems at the same time. Attempting to make use of 2.4Ghz for utility style bandwidth deployment is a waste of government money and time, better suited to other projects.
On the other hand, I don't believe that state governments should be telling the local governments what to do like this, as it is clear that this is a move by the commercial companies to keep a niche market where they can keep money. ON the other hand, why CAN'T they make money deploying this stuff.
Uh... Maybe because not everybody HAS credit cards. If you have ever had issues with credit as a result of say... a tech stock downturn, or divorce, you would realize that credit cards are not given to everybody instantly. Many of use are forced to use debit cards. Just like many people will want to use CASH (you know that old paper stuff) for their transactions, don't assume everybody uses credit cards or even checks.
If they really think they had a problem...

They are giving a 250k prize to find an easy solution to this. If they can find one, they know it is easier than trasporting O2 to the moon for the mars missions. Otherwise, I am guessing they believe it is easier to just send it to orbit. This is a shot at a dart-board. Chances, there IS now answer, but worth putting some money on in case someone can figure it out.
Maybe if they look at the history behind BSG on SciFi, they would find that BECAUSE of BT, they got more people going to the opening showing then otherwise. Maybe they should be complimenting it instead of trashing it.

I have a phone like that too. I HATE the thing, as it has a cradle to wear it on your belt, you try to pull it from the cradle and you don't have a call any more. It's a blackberry phone though, it must have been designed by a monkey for phone use. Still, cool for dealing with mail.
Congress NEEDS to be bogged down. If by law they have to read and vote on each law at least once very 20 years, then the bad laws will be thrown out so they don't have to read them. The system of laws in this country is now so complex, nobody knows them all, so forcing them to simplify would be of value.
You don't get it. If the car can be bought by anybody for $5 (no matter what it's real cost is to the seller), then the jail time is significantly less and if it was $50000. By lowering the market value of what was stolen, it changes the nature of how the prosecute. Will the RIAA go after people if the most they can say is that it was a $5 loss? No. It's not worth it. Will more people pay $5 a month for the service instead of stealing? Yes. It changes the dynamic.
If you read up, Xen is it's own "base" OS itself, setup to run virtual machines on top of it. It doesn't run on anything it IS itself. That's it. You then run a modified OS that has been compiled to make calls to it instead of the hardware, and then anything that OS supports on it's own. As it isn't truly "virtualizing" anything in the sense that vmware is, it can run much faster.
If you assume that any "public" PC is infected with a key logger, then you can NOT guarantee any level of protection, as they can always find the names of sites you type in, etc. You must have some level of trust on the PC before you can consider any solution. Beyond that, you would want to make use of an encrypted connection to a proxy or vpn outside the control of the regime, then access the content from there.
Of all things I've seen posted, this is about as least interesting. A scanned in article that looks like it came from some kids mag, several years old, on a game that doesn't even run on Linux (without a rom emulator). A dup post of something better would have been a better choice to fill this slot.
Also remember that with peak oil coming into play, the rate CO2 will be dumped into the atmosphere will probably level off, although you can also have factors such as the saturation of CO2 sinks, which could cause sudden surges in atmospheric CO2 even if the rate of CO2 generation levels off. Nobody really knows what will happen in the next 140 years, it could quadruple, or it could stop increasing at all. Who knows?
He didn't buy it from Walmart. Guaranteed they got their orders on time, anybody that ordered direct would be placed behind the bad boy of consumer sales for order fulfillment.
1. They only used HTTP 1.0 requests, which isn't normal for high-end performance testing 2. They completed testing on April 30th, 2003, a year before the report was published, and a year has since passed 3. They used the 2.4 kernel instead of the 2.6 now available 4. They used an early Apache 2.0 configuration which I believe was known to be somewhat slower than the apache 1.3 code at that time.
This reminds me of the famous McDonalds name incident from some years back, where McDonalds tried to force a restaurant named McMunchies to change it's name. That's when Lord MacDonald of the Clan Donald got into the act. Quoting from a press release at http://www.mcspotlight.org/media/press/clandonald_ jan97.html:
Lord Macdonald of Macdonald, premier clan chief of Clan Donald, has appointed Ronald W McDonald to be Sergeant-Major at Arms of the Guardians of Clan Donald: the linear descendant of the chief's bodyguard. It will be open to all Macdonalds and their septs, dependents, and descendants, who are in good standing in the community. Successful applicants will be enlisted as Sergeants at Arms and issued with a Warrant in the form of a Certificate which is suitable for framing. The cost of membership is £1 (postal orders please) or £2 sterling for overseas applicants.
Needless to say, history was on their side even more than it was with the Tiger name here. If you don't use an original name, don't expect to be protected like an original name.
Yep. One answer is technically available today for actual energy generation (vs. just storage): Nuclear. Until they really push nuclear again, it's all going downhill.

Read the article, it was the flash memory business that caused the loss, not the cpu business.
