Plants consume CO2 during the day, and release CO2 at night, in a process called respiration.
They are truly carbon neutral : )
A better idea would be to find something that consumes massive amounts of methane, as not only is it significantly worse as far as "global warming" is concerned, its also not used by as many things around the world (and thus safer to play around with.)
I mean, he DID say, "Look at how close to the engine we are, isn't that convenient?"
"Now no one will hear the explosion over the sound of the engine!"
The idea alone that you can remove from a plane for making conversation about a plane. There where even two air marshals on the plane - if it was that big of a concern, i'm sure the marshalls could have handled it.
In any case, what's it like being an idiot? They didn't shout about how convienient it is that they where so close to the engine - it was a discussion about "if the plane crashes, would we be better or worse off near the engine?"
If the government is operating it, then I bet itll happen.
This truly sounds like it could be a terrible idea - I was really hoping for something along the lines of ensuring competition in areas, and ensuring that those companies actually try to reach most people.
"Oh, its the cool, the government's here to handle this" is a phrase i've never heard anyone say.
And anyone who thinks the government is capable of handling anything with any sort of aptitude, never mind something technical, you should seek professional help.
Not only can you not trust everyone to not waste 25K, not only is 25K unable to really get you anywhere, but if you let every industry self-destruct, what is everyone going to buy?
The only point I'm going to make here, regardless of my own personal opinion (being a Canadian especially), is that the right to bear arms represents first and foremost the right to overthrow the government. Wether or not its worth it, blah blah blah, I dont know - But I do know that it makes me a tiny bit nervous not being protected by the Canadian constitution in the event a revolution takes place here.
In related news, this is silly. Paid for my medicaid?
Please. Disabled people should have to pay for their guns just like everyone else.
Stop treating people differently in the name of treating people the same. It makes me sick.
I had a problem with Dell with my laptop, and made a post about it in my Livejournal.
The next morning, I had an email from a Dell rep in my mailbox, and then got a call from a high-ranker in Dell Toronto, and then had my problem fixed in a day or two.
So, assuming its their issue, and not some corrupt employee (no idea how APO's work), Dell will act fast to fix their mistake.
You can install Ubuntu from Windows, but if you really are a newbie, then you may find the KDE interface a little easier to navigate. I still use the KDE interface, and its great.
If that's the case, then Kubuntu (with a K, for KDE) may be the distro from you. You can actually install (K)Ubuntu from inside of windows, but I've heard of some drawbacks (other than if things go wrong) being Ubuntu runs alittle slower. You are running Ubuntu natively in that case, though. Im not sure what causes the slowdown.
In any case, Ubuntu is an excellent Linux distro, and IMHO, the best out there. Of course, everyone has their own for their own reasons - don't let anyone tell you which to get.
I'm not sure anymore, but I don't think "double your ram" is really necessary anymore. The size of programs is not increasing at the same rate as our RAM - now we could easily house most programs entirely in RAM (including most of the OS), so I doubt its REALLY necessary.
For what its worth, I've noticed a lot of databases (Oracle especially) insists on insane levels of swap space on the swap partition.
So, yeah. I'd go with = your ram, and if you experience problems, run gparted and grow the partition a bit. But, I can't imagine any real problems from a 4gig partition.
Im not so sure... The oil companies know better than everyone that we're running out of oil.
I can see how they would prefer to bleed the world dry of its money, but I cant imagine ending civilization as we know it would really be that good an idea, profit-wize.
But, really, how much thinking are they really doing?
While some of that does happen, real child porn is a real problem, and I do think something should be done about it.
I don't think throwing money at it is a particularily awesome idea - i think it would be better to set up an anonymous, safe, secure way to report child porn websites to authorities. I'm sure everyone here has looked at porn, and sometimes you wind up on a website you did not intend to be. But rather than yelling "Oh shit!" and closing the window, you could submit the website, and have it closed down.
Its cheap, its effective, and it has the accuracy of having a lot of people working for it.
Of course, the problems stem from there - can you REALLY trust that itll be safe? That you won't be arrested or at least investigated?
Bottom line - its a tough issue, and the only thing a government can do in a situation like this, is throw money at it.

Certainly Vista runs just about everything better than Wine does anyways - but it has certainly come incredibly far.
Final answer:
It is wildly inaccurate, and obviously there just to say something bad about Vista.
It was pretty late : )
I do believe, at this point, that I "get it".

Copyrights stifle imagination and innovation!
No, just me?
Its really annoying that the background noise for anything Global Warming related is the Imperial March.
I think we may end up struggling - but we'll make it.
Otherwise - why dont you start taking out some loans and maxing out credit cards?
I could really use a new car...
I would do it.
The one major issue with thi... RIM is a foreign company.
So? Its not like Americans don't buy products from foreign companies.
Positive press and attention is good, and can you imagine the positive press that "We made Obama a custom cell phone" would generate?
I cant believe that got 5, Insightful.
I've been doing that a few weeks now, and nothings happened y(NO CARRIER)
Theres some weird concerns with who-owns-what apparantly.
They can realease whatever file system they want - I can still format it to NTFS or XFS.

Its a loaded statement, jedi mind trick style.

Don't forget rule 34, and of course, simply human nature.
Kinks are everywhere, about everything, and there is nothing wrong with the exceptional majority of them.
This truly sounds like it could be a terrible idea - I was really hoping for something along the lines of ensuring competition in areas, and ensuring that those companies actually try to reach most people.

But, just like ICBC for our car insurance in BC, everyone either doesn't care or does actually like them.
I pay over 2500/year for my car insurance - my friend from Toronto pays 150 a year.
Yes. One hundred and fifty dollars a year.
Abolish government agencies!

Unless you ask me. In which case, get Ubuntu.

I can't imagine how well this could possibly go over, but does this remind anyone else of Atlas Shrugged?
I can see how they would prefer to bleed the world dry of its money, but I cant imagine ending civilization as we know it would really be that good an idea, profit-wize.
But, really, how much thinking are they really doing?
I would think that after a tragedy, it would better to OPEN the internet as much as possible.
I'm really starting to hate China.
