...here in Germany and Austria, where a lot of larger farms invested into a biogas plant; they sell the electric power they generate to the national grid, at slightly preferential rates. One large farm, my last client, runs a 500 kW plant, without anyone making a fuss or being amazed about it.
Beep. You're tinier than small, you are minute -
second in bravery to no single other.
Time is your ally. Beep. You do not bother
with our days and works, you small salute
from earth to deepest black. How resolute
you Beep from way beyond the planets, brother
benjamin of all our ships ! You smother
with your billions Beep of miles any repute
of cowardice and failure. We did never
think you big when you were built and shot
Beep on a Titan rocket. You were clever,
later only showing us you got
titanic stamina. Beep. Had we ever
more hope an escapee does not get caught ?
I remember my first steps on the Web, and being fascinated by Gopher. I am certainly going to download this stuff, there's history here, for anyone to be kept.
Although a meat-eater, I once followed - by circumstances - a vegan-eating-only diet, for more than a year, while doing physically hard work. I never felt as healthy as during that period: my muscle volume increased, heart beat went down, my skin became better.
You are correct on the presses & publishing operations. Here in Central Europe, many large monasteries also do that, which is a Good Thing. Some of them are, alas, fledgling.
I am just fascinated by the idea of a couple of monks, sometimes a single one, spending years and years upon a single evangeliary - and that in the 21st century !
Father Marco in Vallombrosa, in Tuscany, is making one. By hand. It is hoped to be ready around 2015. Isn't that great ?
It actually is. I know of more than one Italian monastery that has taken up, once more, the ancient ( medieval ) art of creating so-called evangeliaries: one-copy masterworks, written and painted in by hand.
"Wouldn't a lossy format make more sense" ? No, timothy, not if and when the images are of priceless and centuries old works of art. The last days, slashdot's quality of reporting has taken a steep plunge. Sheesh.
Your post should be modded down to flamebait. Moral relativism is the philosophical tenet that there is no universal, absolute standard by which all humans and their actions can be judged. Period.
Misters or Madams tcd004 and kdawson,
you are wrong. RTFA. The Pope was NOT "railing against the internet and transparency". This, by the way, is not the first time that kdawson, on this website, seems to publish, on the front page, links to articles he seems not to have read.

Sounds like a pretty minor Godhead as compared to nowaday's machines. More of a demigod, a satyr or so....

Do you have any facts or figures underpinning your statements ?

From a geek's / nerd's point of view, the price is too high. Palms are worth near to nothing to geeks.
...will it blend ??
Yep. And when you have thousands of priceless artifacts sitting in your library, doing what they do is a very reasonable choice.

So, is the Vatican Library the new metric equivalent of a Library of Congress?
Amen, brother, amen...

The whole hype about the fucking iPad. And about Flash. And about Facebook. C'mon. Get a life, cmdrTaco !
...that each of those 13 people are game addicts. I also suspect this to be true for a significant percentage of the posters here.
Yes. Same thing here in the Netherlands. It is called a police state, and it is towards what many western countries are gliding off.
