IIRC, Chernobyl happened because they were using graphite rods instead of water to cool the reactor core. One of the rods failed, leading to a meltdown. US plants use the ocean to channel in water which keeps the reactor cool.
At how those against nuclear power like to cite the Chernobyl accident, as apparently they feel it is proper to equate a plant that was a zillion miles from a water source to the San Onofre plant which is cooled by the Pacific Ocean.
Burning coal in the midwest has caused horrible acid rain in Canada. People really need to rethink how "unclean" nuclear byproducts are.
Have quite a bit less power than their gas-only counterparts (like the hybrid Civic). I've seen people trying to drive these things like they're race cars, and that certainly isn't going to help.
MPG estimates are easy to reach when drive like a responsible person, and according to the cars manual. This is often a bit slower than you are comfortable with, hence the problem. It just happens to be that the rift between gas waste with the two driving styles is quite larger with the hybrid engine.
Drive nicely, you're mileage will be a lot better.
Yes, and in all of his deep insight, he was right.
If you really think about it, you're paying an artist to perform for you. And just like with the albums they release, you're allowed to listen to them as many times as you want.
Being the concerts are very memorable for most people, you should definitely be allowed to record them.
You're the second person to just assume that I'm some victim of a frustrated attempt at using Linux. Linux doesn't do what I need to be happy with the computing aspect of my life.
A big part of that is it's learning curve. Your grandma doesn't want to edit text files to set app preferences.
See, this is exactly the type of thinking that's STOPPING Linux from becoming a popular desktop OS. The old elitist "you're not smart enough to understand it" is absolutely ridiculous.
Wake up Ziviyr, most people aren't computer geniuses.
Setting up, using, and all other aspects of Linux need to be made easier for the home user (read: children, old people, and those without a lot of computer experience).
Ease of use definitely needs to be made more of a priority if we're going to see Linux succeed as a desktop platform.
But if they're stuck near the top of the mountain, dying, there isn't much anybody can do.
I don't think it's possible to get helicopters up that high (they use those to get the base camp which I believe it at around 18k feet).
it's as much a matter of providing legal defense as monetary re-imbursment for defending yourself against baseless allegations.
This is clever. So now we have a company that is going to both protect Linux from being murdered by a company like SCO, and at the same time turn a profit. Everybody (innocent) wins!
But isn't it said we've come to this in the US, where you can come up with a lawsuit for just about anything inconvenience you can think of, and then waste both the taxpayers money, and that of the company you're attacking.

It's a little character that looks like an envelope.
Or, you can do what I did for Safari, and use a .css that blocks out ads featuring the typical properties of ads.
It also adds a little unicode email character next to email links, and colors java or javascript links green.
If people would stop using proprietary formats like MSReader's .lit when importing books.
I want to read a few books I have, but cannot on my Mac.

you mean Richer is going to get SERVED, then I agree, it's on!
So essentially, they have been trolled, they have lost.
I do with those lovely people have a nice day though.

When you sue the whole market because you failed, is that anti-trust, or just jealousy out of failure?
Apple DOES help the open source community. Both Konqueror and FreeBSD are much improved thanks to Apple's contributions.
It was $10 off of any $50 or more purchase.
Of course Nike's do cost $1.50 to manufacture (this is not an exaggeration), but still 20% off ain't none too bad.

As well as distributing them for free?
Of course this does realize sneaking in your DAT recorder, but it isn't illegal to record concerts right?

Plenty of phones already have "Airplane Mode".
The stewardess will still attempt to behead you should she see any light emitting from your mobile.
I don't use Linux, I use OS X.

They often seem to ignore their waning health. The kind of people that attempt a feat like this are often willing to accept the consequences of death.
It's interesting to note that quite a few people have made it to the peak of Everest, and then died on the way down.
What's all this talk about sin boy?
Ah, I see.

And TV does NOT rot your brain. Watching Nova on PBS makes me smarter (perish the thought!)
A sort of "malpractice" insurance, where instead of a doctor's malpractice, it's that of the code-plagiarizer?
;) )
Or is it for protecting the Linux distributer that was unaware of said plagiarism.
(By the way, I'm not saying Linux contains plagiarized code
Don't you find it somewhat ironic that the idea of "free" and "open" software gets hurt like this, due to legal issues?
It's just like M$ getting into legal trouble over their practices.
We need to stop with all of this licensing silliness if you really want to see OSS take off!
