by having a bunch of individuals DDoS'ing the 419 sites they are not having to use their own bandwidth... a bunch of slow connections can do much more damage than a few faster connections.
There's actually a company here in Australia that's already doing this (or at least claiming to be able to!). I play basketball with one of the guys who works there. I'm trying to find a website right now.
It's called deorbiting, and they basically hit LEO junk with a laser, slowing it down enough so that it's orbit deteriorates sufficiently to burn up in the atmosphere.

Actually, it would be enzed, not enzy. But then again, enzed is already taken.

How dare you complain about paying $2.01 for your gallon of gasoline. Down here it's $1.08 for a litre of petrol. Let's do some math...
.wook
1 US gal. = 3.79 litres
1 USD ~ 1.40 AUD
$2.01 USD = $2.81 AUD != $4.09 AUD
So I'm paying almost 50% more than you, and that's adjusted for currency exchange... more than 100% more than you if you take it $ for $.
I agree with the post about riding bikes. I try to ride to work at least once a week.
Polymer electrolyte fuel cells are planned for release as early as 2007, while Li-S is still 3-5 years away.
.wook
errr.... 2004 + (3-5 years) = 2007-2009.
So polymer electrolyte fuel cells and Li-S will be out at around the same time?
