Good to hear that the email is read to you. It's bad enough when people drive using their cell-phones, I can't imagine someone reading their email while driving.
It's interesting that this was mentioned today; On my way to work this morning, I saw someone reading a book while they were driving!! Kid in the backseat too... These people will only learn when it's too late.
I don't think you see the whole picture. It's pretty obvious there will always been pollution with whatever source you derive your power from, but it's all relative. The process for using Coal for power has a far greater pollution factor than preparing some electrodes and extracting heavy water. I mean, heavy water extraction pollution is minimal, requiring distillation and electrolysis (which can be done with Solar). Obviously, somewhere along the line there needs to be pollution (creating solar panels, as an example) but you're comparing two uneven pollution levels to each other. From discovery, to extraction to consumption, Fossil Fuels (Coal, Oil, Gas) contribute more pollution than any other power source, current and future concept sources.
This is great news to hear more research and interest into Cold Fusion. We need to remove dependancy on polluting / expensive resources, and we all know gas and oil is a double culprit.
What worries me is the military interest. It's all a push to build bigger and better ways to kill people, now powered with more efficient means! Don't get me wrong, historically we have many great things coming from military driven technology (space program, wireless comm., nuclear power, etc.) but at what cost?
Similar, but this game seems to allow complete control over your character. One thing about KOTOR I didn't like is you couldn't go around and be a badass whenever you pleased: you had to do a quest/mission in order to gain Dark side points. With Fable it's different:

I can't wait to try this game... finally I can be evil and get away with it >:]
I don't think gaming is much different than servers and OS's.
It all comes down to what will make a product more stable, user-friendly, enjoyable and replayable/upgradable. Open source does exactly this, so why not start open-sourcing popular games?
Oh... right... money grubbing CEO's.. One can only dream!

Alex Trebek was seen torching the SFGate offices, screaming obsenities and cursing their poor reporting ethics!
If he truly had a brain in his head, he would accept the million and donate it to some organization/charity that needs it!

I just hope in 10 years from now we don't find Philidelphia with the highest cancer rates / sq mile...
