Well, if any of this data supports the theory of "humans causing global warming," shouldn't you suppose that the target should not be limited to the United States? How about developing countries that are not under any regulations?
Which "developing countries? As far as I can tell, the only developing countries that have not signed the Kyoto Protocol are the US and Australia.
Look at the map and list of List of Kyoto Protocol signatories. China, Russia, the EU, all of South America, Canada, Asia (inc both N. & S. Korea) have all signed and ratified the treaty. That means that those countries will be reducing their emissions to 55% of their 1990 levels.
They don't actually use KHTML. Instead, they use a codebase called WebKit, a forked derivitive of KHTML.
Apple doesn't use much new code from KTHML anymore, but does contribute some back, although merging it into the KHTML tree is hard, because of the way the WebKit team makes patches. See the Wikipedia article on KHTML for more info.
If you want stuff fixed in Safari, report bugs to the WebKit team.
Windows are able to make cross-version binary compatible apps, why not linux?
First, see the Autopackage project. We (the Autopackage devs) are trying to make it so that one binary runs on as many Linux distros as possible. And believe me, it is hard. Much harder than on Windows.
1. Partially because "Linux" is a bunch of software being developed by a bunch of different people with a bunch of a different opinions on how to do stuff. This leads to zillions of different conventions.
2. Distros, The FSF, and (most) software maintainers don't care about binaries that work everywhere. Distros want people to use apt-get/yum/emerge/whatever-your-distro-uses, and the FSF and most developers just want you to build from the source. For example, we had to write a wrapper around GCC/G++ to fix the GCC developers problems. Take G++, the compiler for C++ software. With the release of g++-3.4, there were 2 different ABIs that are widespread. The ABI used by g++-3.2/3.3 and the ABI used by g++-3.4/4.0. The G++ developers thought that they could make everything work by providing a "abi-version" switch to g++ which would force g++ to compiled the software with the proper ABI, but it doesn't work. It was reported as a bug, and closed as "INVALID". So, we had to fix it by double-compiling the software with g++-3.2 and g++-3.4/4.0, packaging both up, and then installing the proper one at install time.
Developers just say "I upload the tarball. You build it."
3. There is no such thing as the Linux Desktop Platform. See the FAQ for more on this.
4. Tons of other reasons, but distros are the main show-stopper.
So, if you want to see universal binaries, ask distro about getting the Autopackage support code installed.

Google Secure Access (Beta): Frequently Asked Questions
What is Google Secure Access?
Google Secure Access is a downloadable client application that allows users to establish a more secure WiFi connection.
Why would I want to download and install Google Secure Access?
Google Secure Access allows you to establish a more secure connection while using Google WiFi. By using Google Secure Access, your internet traffic will be encrypted, preventing others from viewing the information you transmit.
Does Google Secure Access connect to a VPN server?
Yes, Google Secure Access connects to Google's VPN ("Virtual Private Network") server provided for this service.
Why did Google develop Google Secure Access?
One of our engineers recognized that secure WiFi was virtually non-existent at most locations. As a result, he used his 20% project time to begin an initiative to offer users more secure WiFi access. Google Secure Access is the result of this endeavor.
What sort of information does Google have access to?
If you choose to use Google Secure Access, your internet traffic will be encrypted and sent through Google's servers to the Internet. The data that is received will then be encrypted and sent back through our servers to your computer. Your privacy is important to us, we strongly encourage you to read our Privacy Policy to be fully informed about how your privacy is protected.
Is there a fee for using Google Secure Access?
No, Google Secure Access is free.
Where can I go to download Google Secure Access?
The program can currently be downloaded at certain Google WiFi locations in the San Francisco Bay Area.
When I install Google Secure Access, why does it ask if I also want to install the Google Toolbar?
We've included the option to install the Google Toolbar because it improves your browsing experience.
Can I uninstall Google Secure Access?
Yes. You can uninstall Google Secure Access by simply running the Uninstall program. This can be found by clicking on Start Menu, Programs, Google Secure Access, and then choosing Uninstall.
How do I make my connection even more secure?
You can make your connection even more secure by using a software firewall. Windows XP users with Service Pack 2 can find it by clicking on Start, Control Panel, and then choosing Windows Firewall.
Will my corporate VPN still work?
Yes. You can connect to your corporate VPN while running Google Secure Access.
I have configured Google Secure Access to connect automatically, but it's not working. What's going on?
Certain wireless LAN management utilities and older wireless LAN adapter drivers prevent Google Secure Access from detecting that you're connected to the Google WiFi network. In this case it will not connect automatically, and you should connect manually to ensure the privacy and security of your network traffic.
Will Google Secure Access work at other locations?
While Google Secure Access should work, we have not tested it at other locations.
Why is Google Secure Access a beta product?
Google Secure Access is a new product that is only available at certain locations in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are constantly working to improve this product.
the 10,000 year mandatory storage requirement: not driven by science, fact

If we really wanted to get rid of waste, we could - the oceanic subduction zones are perfect.
Is there really anywhere in the ocean where we can just "drop the waste into a hole?" It seems it would have to be very shallow, and very stable (e.g., what happens when an earthquake occurrs and knocks all the crap out of the zone and into the water? How long does it really take for the waste to "dissappear" so it is no longer a threat to anything living in the water?
Really, this isn't a flame--I'm asking these questions because I'm curious.
Socialism is nothing of the sort. The co-operative movement predates communism and has always been considered socialist. Trade Unions are also socialist.
Possibles...but that wasn't my point. My point was that in communism the government does not control all means of production. Original poster was confusing socialism with communism (which is easy to do with the media calling many countries "communist states" as opposed to totalitarian-socialist).
CO-OPs are designed to be businesses by the people, for the people, without engaging in the
communist-like practice of merging everything under the government's umbrella.
Hate to nitpick, but that's actually a socialist-like practice, instead of a communist. In socialism, the government controls all means of production, in communism, the community controls means of production (and the government is abolished).

Umm...huh? Credit card's aren't stored in the DB (they're handeled by PayPal). Also, how is PostreSQL or whatever more secure than MySQL? I mean, osCommerce uses MySQL, as well as many other shopping cart systems. How would you like your order processing information stored? Flat-file? Also, often ecommerce orders are sent to various email addresses (ever received an order confirmation?). That email was sent unencrypted, in plain-text! That means that anyone listening on your network could in theory intercept your email and get your mailing/billing address.
So, answer me: Why does MySQL suck for storing order information, and what do you suggest storeing the info in instead?
I hate to feed trolls, but comments are cheap. First, where is this $100m tax figure for NPR?
Also, they employ hundreds of reporters across the globe. They need to feed, house, and pay these reporters (if you haven't noticed, they have stared using more reports from the BBC--much cheaper). Also, in 2001-2002, the BBC cost £2620m to run, that's about $5,020m (http://www.bbc.co.uk/info/report2001/review/value.shtml)
What's this "ceaseless socialist blather"?
We will never rent, sell or share information that personally identifies you for marketing purposes without your express permission.
We serve highly relevant ads and other information as part of the service using our unique content-targeting technology. No human reads your email to target ads or related information to you without your consent.

That tells you substitute b with ?p, a with E9, etc etc.
So, b (?p) a (E9) n (4$) k (vw) equals a password of ?pE94$vw. Make sense?

Right, and were do we bury all the "nuculer" waste for 10,000 years? How about in your yard? Would that be a good start?
Don't answer that with another question, or an excuse (e.g., coal plants generate more waste than nuclear plants). Really, where? How?
