Biodiesel has reduced emissions (warning: PDF) compared to dino-diesel for every category of pollutant except NOx (oxides of nitrogen).
So... cleaner than the current standard. But certainly not cleaner than, say, hydro-electricity.
Folks... if you're burning a hydrocarbon, no matter where you get it from it ain't clean unless you manage to sequester ALL THE EMISSIONS. (Let me know when you pull that off.)
Disclosure: I drive a standard vehicle and heat with natural gas. I just get tired of people repeating tired old nonsense. Burning hydro-carbons is NOT CLEAN.
Blatant misrepresentation. By 2000 the Taliban had banned opium production and by 2001,
No, that's a blatant misrepresentation. Read this story:
I found it a little odd that I'd never heard of the METimes... until I looked here. I'm sure that a publication called the Middle East Time based in Washington D.C. is not at all biased...;-)

Should I suck it up and learn to do all my programming in C++/Java?
Yes.
In my 10 years of professional development I've covered many languages, but the last three doing nothing but Java have been the happiest. The second happiest was doing nothing but C++. There's a wonderful economy of scale to focusing on a single technology, you don't waste time on the glue.

one of the first towns you drive through is named Dumas and smells like manure.
That isn't nearly as funny if you're fluent in french and read that as Doo-maas as in Alexandre Dumas.
No pun intended...

You do know what people do with that stick after they are done removing the poo don'tcha?
Appoint it VP of Marketing?
What exactly does this tell us?
The vast majority of all statistics are made up on the spot?
It's no longer abandonware lurking at the heart of gnome but it's still a nightmare.
Surely that's a gnightmare?
The weak-willed and fearful are those who come to (or stay with) religion, therefore they are the most likely to fear dying.
Yup... In other news, the emperor has no clothes.
I find the big blue room so much nicer when there's a sun in it. Don't you?
I wouldn't know, I only wear my sunglasses at night.

When was that carbon last in the atmosphere? If the answer is "within the past two years" then it doesn't make things worse.
If the answer is "fifty-seven million years ago" then there may be a problem.
Carbon neutral and clean are not the same thing.
Aren't they burning a hydrocarbon? How does this qualify as clean?
Given that Sun design their boxes around their own custom hardware (Niagra, Sparc etc) who exactly are you buying the same specification from?
You are correct, but incomplete. Sun also sells servers based on Intel and AMD as well as Intel based Workstations.
No, that's a blatant misrepresentation. Read this story:

So how is it exactly you can equate Limbaugh and Dawkins?
Ah... finally a question I can answer. This is simple, they're both homo-sapiens and therefore likely decendants of apes.
Well at least Dawkins is...
You kidding me? I've never seen a blurry photograph of God running through the woods.
" ... and that's when it struck me ... sasquatch IS GOD! "
... where I live. So the Cook County Sheriff can lump it if he doesn't like it.
And this has exactly what to do with him going after crime in his jurisdiction?
This is Slashdot man! Don't go bringing reality into this. What the hell were you thinking?
Furthermore... they seem to be trying to patent what TopLink was already doing prior to 1996.
For those who care, TopLink has now been opensourced as EclipseLink
"exchanging data and commands between an object oriented system and a relational system."
This sounds familiar... hmmm.... ah.
Business Objects' United States patent number 5,555,403 entitled "Relational Database Access System Using Semantically Dynamic Objects."
Fight fire with fire...

The market for Star Trek memorabilia may never recover, though.
*raises eyebrow* Fascinating...
And does it have storage room for coconuts?
Judging from the photos a roll of duct tape will work here...
"Aren't you going to make me an offer I can't refuse?"
No mod points today, but my hat is off to you sir. Well done. And give my regards to Mr. Cairo...
How do they survey the people they can't reach or only speak something like Vietnamese?
Isn't Adobe American? In that case THEY YELL IN ALL CAPS TO GET THE POINT ACROSS!
Our kids want to play at being Communists? Or worse Canadians?
Nous sommes plutot mauve que rouge voyons.
Vancouver to DC is a little different than say Poughkeepsie, NY to Bangalore.
Not from a Canadian perspective...
Or it would be, if you had a girlfriend.
