Come on, there's 300 thousand of us now, as of sometime earlier this year. This was a huge national event that was celebrated, well, not by drinking beer, since you're right about that - beer is more expensive than energy here. Gas prices are also about three times higher than in America, so as you'd imagine the cost of living is quite high - I mean, you have to pay through your nose to fuel your car, AND to fuel yourself. *Rim shot*
But seriously, most of our energy comes from dams, which are getting bigger and more numerous, much to the dismay of many environmentalists here. As you point out, a lot of the energy goes into aluminum processing - in fact, all of the energy from the dam at Kárahnjúkar will be used for yet another aluminum smelter. Now that the Americans are closing down their Navy Base at Keflavík, there is discussion over planting a new smelter there or expanding the one that's there already to generate jobs instead of the ones that will be lost in that area. This seems to be the goverment's standard solution for any employment problems, anywhere - just build an aluminum smelter. But now I risk sounding overly political, so I'll stop. Regional politics in Iceland are probably not something that interest a lot of people.
affectionate (adj)- Having or showing fond feelings or affection; loving and tender
Affectionate is not a verb.
Tell that to the author of TFA:
I agree that Firefox has literally changed the way we browse the Internet, but that doesn't mean that we have to affectionate the browser uncontrollably and recklessly.
The widespread use of laptop technology will leverage the power of mobile computing to provide campuswide access through the university's extensive wireless network, said Susan Powers, professor of curriculum, instruction and media technology and chairwoman of ISU's notebook implementation committee.
"The notebook initiative gives us an opportunity to use technology to support learner-centered, knowledge-centered, assessment-centered and community-centered learning environments. It is a window of opportunity for true innovation. Lenovo ThinkPad will be an excellent partner in our strategies to expand the learning environment of ISU," Powers said.

Larry Seltzer has a concise column about this exploit, where he doesn't exactly pull the punches on Microsoft. The most interesting piece of information there is this:
The problem with the WMF (Windows Metafile) file format turns out to be one of those careless things Microsoft did years ago with little or no consideration for the security consequences.
Almost all exploits you read about are buffer overflows of some kind, but not this one. WMF files are allowed to register a callback function, meaning that they are allowed to execute code, and this is what is being exploited in the WMF bug.
I find this mind-boggling to the point of absurdity. Regardless of any supposed benefit gained by this, allowing a data file to execute arbitrary code upon it being viewed is simply begging for an exploit like this. No matter whan spin Microsoft will try to put on this one, it makes them look bad. Extremely bad.

9. No one says no to the marketers: After redefining "Project Green" as a strategy rather than an end-point, Microsoft marketers couldn't stop themselves. Now almost all the Microsoft business applications are being rechristened as "Dynamics." And most of the MSN applications and services are being switched to "Live" (as in Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Search, etc.). That's an awful lot of rebranding to pull off all at once. Just ask Microsoft's confused partners, customers and press corps.
And the number one point of confusion?
'So, the old stuff was Dead, right?'
No, seriously - what the heck is 'Live' supposed to mean? Any ideas?
It would be a naive point of view to think that it hasn't already started. It would be equally naive to assume that the U.S. is not at the forefront of such a war.
Seriously, it makes no sense to think that the U.S. government is not involved in digital warfare and espionage. The U.S. is the greatest military power in the world, especially when it comes to technology. The Internet was created there - by the military orginally.
If the U.S. government didn't take digital warfare seriously, this will without a doubt at least have changed after 9/11. The current administration is extremely militant, party with cause, and party without cause. Their ideology is based on 'first strike' principles - on elimiting potential threads as they surface. It is only logical to assume that this ideology extends to all possible fronts.
Now, who wants to bet big bucks that the United States military is not deeply involved in aggressive digital warfare at this very moment?
I'm not sure if this is a joke, but on the risk of sounding silly, I will assume that it is not, and point out that this Google search provides many hits to this information.

Oh really? Would YOU believe that someone who you thought was a robot beforehand, and who replies to your question with a generic response that seems to be only a way to wriggle out of the question, was a human? Preconceptions go a really long way you know... and the guy's response looks perfectly generic.
Convincing someone you're human might just be harder than one might think - at least a bit more trouble than just answering a few questions.
Will the data be made publicly available? Yes. First, the data first must be recovered, validated, documented, and preliminary analyses must be done. After those tasks are completed (probably taking months to a year), the data will be made publicly available, including second-order data products when the raw data is processed by JPL orbit software.
The Bush administration announced that the U.S. government will not hand over control of the Internet to any other organisation, a surprise move that could presage an international flap.
Wow... this means that talking about 'the Internets' might actually become an accurate expression. This is what we pay politicians big bucks for - they're visionaries who shape the future. My support for the administration has risen to new heights.

NO!
You're going to need some virus protection from your virus protection from your virus protection to be absolutely safe.
Thankfully, I am offering those at very reasonable prices. Buy one now and receive a free fragment from the Eiffel tower as a value-added gift.
Right?
The post your are replying to is intended as what is commonly referred to as 'sarcasm'. Sorry if that was unclear.
Now get on that train! Looks like you need some indoctrining too!

You are obviously not empowered to actualize your full reading comprehensive potential.
It's off to the indoctrinative camps with you!

True enough. Unless, of course, you consider Windows itself to be The Root of All Evil ...

It would, except odds can never have a negative value.

Just wait 'til PETA hears about this! Catfish have feelings too, you know.
