Okay but compare business class NY to Europe. Concorde was still more expensive but on that route there are a lot of people who charge out more than they would spend to be on Concorde.
About five years ago my employer introduced a web app for time sheets which would only work in IE. The new version works fine in generic web browsers and our thinking on this is that enough users wanted it on the mac that they were forced to fix their application.
A lot of development is now happening for iPhone and Android platforms which are sort of BSD and Linux respectively so I think Microsoft is losing slowly, but there is no one winner, which is probably good too.
A woman walking past me in a park: No you are not listening to me. Its over, get it? Don't call me. Throw away this number, got it?. Ends call. I think he got the picture.
My home state of Victoria, Australia is one of the worst offenders world wide in coal burning for power generation. But I wonder why we can't use the gas from the power stations directly.
Build multiple chains of greenhouses adjacent to the power station. Feed CO2 rich gas directly into the greenhouses. Use some warm cooling water from the power station for irrigation. From that you get CO2 depleted air and food. Sell the food.
You mean CO2 doesn't get distributed through he atmosphere already, reaching all kinds of plants, helping them grow better? You need special greenhouses near the CO2 sources for that to work?
Well, if I understood that wrong - why do CO2 levels still go up despite all this extra growth? It looks like the extra CO2 doesn't generate enough extra biomass to neutralize it being extra.
You get better growth when the plants are exposed to concentrated CO2, which is easiest to do near to the power plant. Globally CO2 levels may not have risen far enough to promote much plant growth.
Due to the health risks associated with carbon dioxide exposure, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration says that average exposure for healthy adults during an eight-hour work day should not exceed 5,000 ppm (0.5%). The maximum safe level for infants, children, the elderly and individuals with cardio-pulmonary health issues is significantly less. For short-term (under ten minutes) exposure, the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and American Conference of Government Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) limit is 30,000 ppm (3%). NIOSH also states that carbon dioxide concentrations exceeding 4% are immediately dangerous to life and health[48] although physiological experiments show that such levels can be tolerated for some time [49].
...and so on. Have a read. Its very interesting. Or give Jim Lovell a call. He will tell you all about it.
How about a device which directly filters bacteria out of the blood stream? Or a remotely controlled robot which can eat out the interior of an otherwise inoperable tumor?
Duno, I reckon it would be touch and go between too much CO2 and not enough O. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercapnia. I know from reading that apollo astronauts would lose abut 10% of the oxygen in their suits from breathe down over two minutes, but that is with CO2 scrubbers running. My guess (based on ad-hoc reading, not The Abyss) is that you will die a lot faster in that suit with the CO2 scrubbers off and the excess CO2 is the likely cause.

Its weird that I am not allowed to drop rubbish in the street but disposing of some types of effluent in the atmosphere which we all need to breathe is perfectly okay.
Access to source code and specifications would help though. As would access to simulators. IIRC the British used to fly helicopters behind their ships. The idea is that the helo attracts the missile, then ascends at the last minute and the missile flys past below the aircraft. Designing a countermeasure like that would be easier if you know in advance how the missile is going to behave.
I've got a couple openBSD boxes myself. One is on httpd duty, the other doesn't do much, just sort of general purpose - I'm planning on making this one into some sort of automatics control for the house (turn the lights on, report temperature, I don't know, a bunch of lame stuff like this).
For that I would use a microcontroller. An atmel atmage8 draws 5mA running at 20MHz. It has better low level IO capabilities than a PC and it can talk to a PC through a serial port. The idea would be to use the microcontroller for day to day control and start the expensive (in power) PC when you have new instructions for it.
With respect, a name server is about the easiest thing to secure. It runs one application plus (maybe) ssh. The only vulnerabilities will be in BIND and they are not considered OS issues by OpenBSD anyway. Try securing a system with 100 untrusted interactive users. Or running a dodgy webhosting control panel, then see how you go.

Without training, the average human can withstand 15-20 Gs for a few minutes without experiencing any ill effects
I doubt my mother in law could. Now there's a thought...
Also they shouldn't be wearing jeans. At least the people in the Lasers know what they are doing and would be on hand to carry out a rescue.

It took a few seconds for me to realise why their design had a human pilot.
No. 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 and 4.5 are all Profit!
How do they do that? I thought a retailer cannot store your credit card number past a reasonable processing period.
Say apple retains an sha1 hash of your credit card information...

Reading up it would seem that tolerance to 5000ppm varies between in individuals and would create OHS concerns.

I was replying to this.
Obviously I will have breathing apparatus on when I do that.
the fact is CO2 is not toxic, it only becomes a problem if it displaces enough O2 for the O2 level to drop below 21%.

Coupled to internal LED safety lights? I hate bumping into naked people in dark alleys.

More likely an insulin pump and eventually an artificial heart.
because despite what you've had shoved down your throat for years now, CO2 is NOT toxic or dangerous.
Stick your head in a plastic bag and get back to me with your observations.
