I am not dead wrong. Permanent magnets with their weird compositions are not required to construct generators. Granted copper or some other conductor is required for a conductor.
Other types of generators, such as the asynchronous or induction singly-fed generator, the doubly-fed generator, or the brushless wound-rotor doubly-fed generator, do not incorporate permanent magnets or field windings (i.e, electromagnets) that establish a constant magnetic field, and as a result, are seeing success in variable speed constant frequency applications, such as wind turbines or other renewable energy technologies.
Wind, waves and water can be harnessed for renewable enegy without exotic metals.
The premis of the title is wrong as it makes the assumption that the only way to get good energy is through current solar cell technologies.

I know a lot of people who are afraid of updates because of the genuine advantage validation. They got student priced versions of the software 5 years ago and are no longer students. They don't want to risk losing Visio/Word/PowerPoint or having some other software disabled on their computer.

The TCP window scale option is an option to increase the TCP receive window size above its maximum value of 65,536 bytes. This TCP option, along with several others, is defined in IETF RFC 1323 which deals with Long-Fat networks, or LFN.

They need to be angled for the best sun during the time the power need is greatest. Ideally they would be adjustable semi-annually/quarterly/monthly for the best angle. And if fixed would be biased toward the point of worst number of sun days and power need.
Doing a suboptimal installation and not accounting for sun angle is not a good installation and should be perform at a fraction of potential output.
- to say there is no UNIX IP shows your lack of imagination.
IP is not imaginary.
A) there really is not such thing as "UNIX IP". Unix is an open standard specification administered by the OpenGroup.
B) SCO uses the term "UNIX IP" to mean something they own. They own squat.
C) In the IBM case SCO was required during discovery to produce any claims over Linux that SCO had. SCO at that time claimed to own the core "UNIX IP" without any definition of that. What SCO produced is essentially nothing.
D) The BSD settlement came to the conclusion that there is pretty much no such thing as any private rights in any code from the original seed Unix through SysV. Basically AT&T had handed it around to many people without copyright notices (when the notice was required).
> because no sane board would authorize the liquidation of the bulk of a company's assets so an obsessed executive can go tilting at windmills
The decision was made by Ralph J. Yarro III back in 2003 to tilt at the windmill. Darl was hired to lead the charge. Back at the beginning Darl said SCO would pursue this to their "utter destruction" if need be. Well it looks like they are.
History: SCO, then called Caldera, was Novell's proxy in the DRDOS lawsuit against Microsoft. This lead Yarro, then managing the Canopy investment company that effectively had full control of SCO/Caldera to look for new lawsuit opportunities to cash in on. The decided to attack Linux using their "UNIX IP". To bad there is no UNIX IP in Linux.
The court system that allows civil cases of this nature is really to blame for the whole thing. SCO's lawyers are now heavily "invested" in the case (at one point they were literally going to be investors in SCO, but then changed their minds to cash up front) and are not really working for justice, but for their piece of the litigation reward pie.
While ABS offers improved vehicle control in some circumstances, it can also present disadvantages including increased braking distance on slippery surfaces such as ice, packed snow, gravel, steel plates and bridges, or anything other than dry pavement.
You answered your own question: "a new bureaucracy that simply funds the big record"
If you were a big record company that is the greatest solution ever. They have to do nothing and roll in the cash at the government and end users expense. Straight to step 4) profit.
Why our governments are even considering it is a question we should ask every law maker out there.
Why the nation of the Boston Tea Party is even considering it? Is an even greater question.
So for discovery I would like a complete inventory of all material the RIAA claims domain. This inventory is to include the original recording information, who, where, and contracts. All assignments and associations since the original recording that have resulted in the present rights claims. Also this list is to be updated quarterly during the proceedings of the trial.
In addition a complete copy of the material is also requested. They can make it available directly to my iPod id.

Anyone serious enough can hide the data. As usual we all get hassled and only the stupid get caught.
1) install a game with huge data files
- Example World of Warcraft 2) make a dummy side directory off the game install 3) drop in a huge binary file with the same extension as the game data or patch 4) mount dummy file as encrypted file system 5) delete mount line before crossing the border
"No idea what that file is. Looks like part of the game to me."
No way they can have a database of all possible good binary files to ignore.
Most don't care about anything until it affects them personally.
So there will be no big deal about windows authentication until someone hijacks the Microsoft DNS record and invalidates a whole bunch of machines.
People will not care about DRM on music files until the DRM servers disappear and the music stops.
In general while it works most people will ignore it. When it fails people will start to pay attention. We are still in the "happy" time for DRM where most people have not had a failure. That will eventually change.
I expect federal legislation within 10 years to disallow DRM of any sort. This will be brought about due to a number of large and significant failures of the system.
A boil and condense system might be another solution given that it could get away without he need to replace filters. And could also double as a stove.
Permanent magnets and metal coils are all that is needed to generate the heat. It could also have a stationary mode where the back wheels are off the ground so it could serve as a stove and avoid the need to collect/burn wood as well.
I grant that a boil and condense system would be a lot slower and require a heat sink. But then the entire water path could be cleaned by scrubbing and there would be no requirement for filters.

Ah but if the sale fails to raise sufficient cash the company directors will take a 10% cut in their salaries.
Is $280k a year a good salary for a CEO of a company that is in bankruptcy and has so far burned through $0.25B of investor capital.
Oh and there are only 66 employees. I would bet your nearest grocery store is larger than that.
So what are these people going to do? And how are they going to get jobs. Right away the market will be saturated and they will be sitting around.
Short term, work on free and open source software (FOSS) from home for free. This keeps their hands warm and gets their skills up to the new market.
Long term get employed to implement FOSS solutions for companies looking to avoid Microsoft costs.
Well that is what I see the better ones doing.

How many copyright porn movies/images get copied over the internet.
How much of this money would be funneled directly to the porn industry compared to other copying.
Make that number public it will quickly be pushed under the table.

The price per node is $450 commercial.
The #10 place was achieved with 30720 cores.
That is $13,840,000 for the HPC Server licenses. I presume each comes with the stanadard 50 or 100 CAL's.
Beyond that you are licensing 30720 cal's per each new user that gets access to the system.
So how many CALs are required to access the system?
And if I want to make the system available to a different researcher every 2 hours how much is it going to cost them to be license compliant?
How much cpu power am I going to need to compute the licensing costs?

If I were a Microsoft investor I might be a little bit annoyed by high ranking employees contributing valuable IP to another company.
Microsoft is not doing its job as looking after its investors interests if it does not pursue the employees involved for this.

World of Warcraft Release date 2004-11-23
JLR was convicted of fraud in 2004 and incarcerated.
I can't find a date on it but unlikely he was caught and convicted between Nov 23 and the end of the year.
His release date is 2012-03-23. And he was sentenced to 8 years.
Given his history when would he have been not in jail and playing the game in the last 4 years?
He gets out in 2012. I could not find the date he was committed.
"Riches has court cases in Pennsylvania dating back to 1996. In 1996 he was arrested for a bomb threat to Conestoga High School."
