You said: It would be much better to have a good computer controlled power plant which closely produces only as much power as necessary to keep the grid up to nominal voltage levels.
So how do you keep a hydroelectric barrage from producing its typical output? Block the water flow and flood some more native lands?
Wasted power has been a problem since the very beginning and still is now for most energy generation plants.
The point is, you can make ethanol anywhere you want, say from the leftover electricity that is not needed at the time by the power plants (this happens a lot when your locals don't need heating or air conditioning).
Use the leftover power to make ethanol. Sell ethanol as gas, usable anywhere.
Of course there are those who'd prever we waste leftover electricity and buy regular gas, and unfortunately they can afford to bribe a politician or two (or even get elected themselves - think Bush family).
My question would be, is it better than other ways to use/store leftover power from power plants?
I'm seeing immense utility with frozen trained animals.
Say you need trained rats to sniff out mines on the battlefield. You don't have to keep them fed when not in use and retrain more when they die of old age; you just unfreeze them when you need them!
Countless possibilities. Not to mention really long space travel things. But the article fails to mention......How long can you make the frozen state last anyways?
The unethical truth-dodging of the vaccine industry and the numerous conflicts of interests running in the 10000 times the typical researcher's salary are NOT proof that vaccines causes autism....only proof that the industry doesn't know for sure that it is safe, so they don't take chances. It could be safe; they just don't know.
And by the way. The vaccine-strain smallpox found in the gut of some autistics could be just that autistics have porous gut. Could be related to autism but not the cause at all! Same goes for any peculiarity of mercury metabolism including the famous metallothionen study.
Do not see "proof of cause" where there could be only statistical correlation!!...but be weary anyway; it is afterall a non-watchdogged monopoly who attaches liability immunity paragraphs to Homeland security type bills at the last minute without telling the politicians before the vote.
Just don't be surprised if mercury is proven non-cause of autism someday (but still causes mercury poisoning).
So the bottom line Microsoft created a front document to disinform people about bittorrrent.
Any academic advances are accidental. This is black marketing. This isn't much different from the front organisations that say linux servers cost a lot and are dying anyways.
After much testing and thought, here is my results:
-It helps get a list of malware fast. It actually pops up before you click on a dialer warning you it's bad! This is in my opinion a *greeeeat* feature.
-It can actually put down google search result of bad/dangerous pages by a number of positions you choose!!!
-Lacking a category system within each expert, it's much more useful to avoid bad stuff than to find good stuff. If your super-expert in avoiding spyware trusts some guy that likes golf (which you couldn't care about), it poisons the searching for good pages except for the google rank increases.
Very complementary with stumbleupon. Just wondering what he'll do when it starts to cost him too much money!!

So coyote is trying to catch road runner - failing in most painful ways - to catch the road runner because of its godlike speed and the total failure to use high-tech deathtraps correctly.
Just add some some witty replies, make road runner wear a crown, and it would be the ideal show!
Unfortunately when it reaches 900 they censor it for being awfully cruel to the megalomanic schemers underclass who can't use their high-tech arsenal correctly.
It's very important to censor that. We don't want to piss off viewers who have delusions of grandeur, have a deadly high-tech arsenal, and are angry at the insinuation they don't know how to use it properly!!!
I can maintain the illusion - or the lack of illusion - as long as I want.
So am I a zen master yet? (-;
Now seriously, try this kind of test as part of a videogame and see how good gaming geeks do. Especially if they don't know which part of the game is testing them!
License pull. Like it's gonna make any kind of difference!!!
I've been trying to have java in mozilla for browsing for weeks, but freeBSD 5.2 and linuxbase 7 won't cooperate and sun's instructions are a mess.
Who needs to use a license to pull in order to sterilize innovation when you can poison the "make install clean" process instead?
Anyone who knows better than me should visit the FreeBSD wiki and leave documentation proving mozilla CAN run java at all.
Or linux-mozilla. Or thunderbird. Whatever. I'm getting less picky every week about which browser to run java on. I may even downgrade my FreeBSD to run java if I can't find a solution in the next two weeks. *shudder*
I'm putting Sun on my no-buy list, next to Microsoft and Ron Hubbard's fiction books!
P.S.: The FreeBSD wiki won't pull license on the documentation or be hard to use. This proves Sun is not involved. (-;
1- Get new user agreement to users. Let them sign now or be booted off.
2- Triple the connection fee for those who won't sign. This always gets people once they figure #1 is a con. Call those who still don't sign as malware friends or axis of evil.
3- Claim in the new user agreement is about suing the spyware makers on the user's behalf.
4- Sell soul of users to spyware-makers as the loophole allows. Think of becoming a malware's wet dream by getting all kinds of info on users centralized where single employees can steal it and make years of salary in less time than it takes for a new windows install to be infected (just like the AOL case)
5- Profit!
P.S.: does that mean Service Pack 3 (aka spyware pack 3) for windows can be sued for? And all those checkboxes that I unchecked so Windows won't send anonymous feedback info??
Yes, Mr. President Bush sir. We just have to make our shuttle not work so we'll have the russians pick up the bill and get a bad rep for asking payment. All you have to do is underfund NASA. Then we'll have more money to fight the axis of evil!
Bush, hands together Mr. Burns style: eeeeexcellent!
Bush, thinking: Daddy, you shall be avenged!! And by the way why fund the space program since the earth is flat?
Considering the original terms of services meant Microsoft could see your private information if it wanted to (not as an illegal action, just as a "but it's in the small print!") how could we trust it with anything at all?
And doesn't it make it a little TOO easy for the script kiddies to hack ALL of you at once complete with list of sites you are registred to?
Of course once EFF and others got the constumers all upset about privacy concerns it was pretty much dead. The hype and market dominance couldn't save it. And microsoft wouldn't finish the product to make it work because the prime motivation (weakening privacy and presenting that as a feature) was gone.
So in the end it was yet another product that would jail people in Windows because Unixes didn't do it, didn't actually work, was scream-full of elephant-sized security holes, and was adopted in a hurry because of Microsoft's market dominance and then died by lack of actual innovation.
Microsoft has yet again failed to look like something else than the monopolist's cookbook! http://www.vcnet.com/bms/departments/co okbook.html
P.S.: kudos to anyone who can teach me how to put a link in a comment. I've been trying that for weeks and slashdot itself doesn't seem to have a 'help' section.
Oh, sorry, Bush is in power and has antimeteoric domes to sell.
Just remember to fix the voting system and it won't happen again.

"In China, the radiation effect is always positive."
Well in all of their scientific documentation, things get bigger, meaner, have more teeth, breath radioactive fire, do neat kung-fu moves, and have a tendency to level Tokyo, New York, and Kyoto.
But as documented in an obscure scientific journal, this effects disappears after 2 hours. So eat quick before the martial arts hero (who did it because he was in search of his long-lost father) kills the killer tomatoes!
I was thinking more of heating the home and powering the home computer with solar panels on the roof of the house (plenty of place there).
In states where it rarely snows, and with an auxiliary power source for when there is a one-in-a-decade problem like record snow fall related or something. Batteries for solar panels can keep 1 month of power handy so problems are rare.
But you're right; it's not industrial scale. But the industry would get so much more power available if homes were solar powered...
Mixed power solutions rock more than any single-power solution. That's the bottom line.
A dozen stray cats can do more damage than that, and they're not in their primes yet. And all that wind-power thingy would need would be a cage to keep birds out so they don't damage the blades - geezus it looks so simple from my non-informed perspective.
Where is the anti-stray cat lobby when you need them? (-;
And oh coal and nuclear kill a few wildlife too (perhaps more, perhaps less). It's just harder to calculate! The main difference being it doesn't kill only birds - it can slowly kill off humans too as Mr. Burns knows all too well.
I'm still wondering why they don't mention solar panels. Even in Montreal, Quebec where hydro power rules solar panels are still an investment worth having as soon as you paid your student loan.

The routine life, as well as ideology and possibly lesser trust in doctors, all play roles in possibly making the Amish diagnosis less likely.
Not to mention genetics.

Meaning microsoft will be about 8 years late on unix, IF they meet their developpement deadline. And that's a big IF!!

Java is now listed in "about plugins" in mozilla, but no java applet whatsoever will load.
Error: "Applet app noninited".
What to do? Demand a refund from Sun?? (-;
In any case I need java to work in order to get a job, I can't just let go due to the hellish nature of java configuration like a gamer would!
More like they know where the unlisted security flaws who were never fixed in service packs are.
Now they have a financial incentive to let holes in service packs - that we pay for to get rid of the spyware vulnerabilities in the first place!
