Geothermal == Nuclear (decay produces heat)
Hydroelectric == Tidal (when oceans were bigger)
He did forget about the energy massed during the accretion of the material that makes up earth though
Erm... good idea, but I would refrain from using terminology such as "griefer". In my 8+ years of online gaming, the only place I have seen that used until now was a Microsoft site defining (or making up) online gaming terms.
dont i recall some senator or something who was advocating the right of a corporation to "mess up" the computer of anyone who has "stolen" their intellectual property
It's too late. I own the moon. And no one can take it from me. You don't believe me? Then come and try.
Seriously though, it's in a way like the American old west. You can claim all you want. But it will be the guy with the bigger (legal in this case?) guns that has his cake and eats it.
Personally, I think that these would have little use in countries where there aren't even attempts to have an education system. What would be good is to have them sold to developing nations (Present day Iraq... sorta) to use for their education. Then their children will grow up knowing at least something useful.
I have read said book (Snow Crash is a classic). Don't get the reference though.
And, sigh, all because people want to steal songs instead of pay for them. Maybe the real solution is a large increase in the quality of character of the average citizen.
I would hate to turn another discussion to this, but it really depends on said average citizen's definition of theft. For example, let's take the old "You wouldn't steal a car/DVD/whatever" thing. Of course you wouldn't. These things take time, energy and resources to build, and these things cost money. So-called "Piracy" as it were requires no resources, just a little time and energy on the part of the "thief". Remember: making a copy of a song requires a few mouse clicks. "Theft" defined in this case would be the fact that instead of paying them for a service, which is what music basically is, you get it somewhere else.
Another conjecture is the quality of the "stolen items". I distinctly remember most record companies not having a huge problems with bootleg cassetes of either concerts or album tracks, because they were always of inferior quality. So... have you listened to an mp3 file lately
As for those with CD stamps making fake albums, then selling them for a reduced price; that is just wrong.
Oh yeah, and does anyone know weather or not this would allow Microsoft to continue their Linux vs Windows TCO analysis?
I have seen said video. I have also seen the "extended cut" in which one of the "farmers" carries an RPG into the field and deposits it. Do a little more that to go by the name of the file.

No Daikatana?
Panzer Dragoon Saga for the Sega Saturn
Right forgot about the water cycle (below post)

I think the grandparent implies that it is such corruption that had such laws brought forth in the first place.
The library of congress would take about 10 terabytes
And just who does it hurt to be paranoid? Paranoia is what it is until fears come true. At that point, paranoia becomes preparedness.
Prior art. After all, women have used vibrations to heighten a sensation since at least the early 1900's
Hence selling Chinese adapters. Since when is China subject to our DMCA?
What part of "virtual" do you not understand?
I gotta agree with rufus up there. Wake me up when they have red-eyes to the moon.
They forgot about dt/dx, with the function being:
lim[t->88(mph)] t / x * v
where v causes the limit to assume a superstate of
both positive and negative infinity.

Don't knock the Brown Ale
Ah thanks Though i know this probably doesnt have anything to do with that

What's wrong with vinegar? The heartburn...

~Yawn~ Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't listening.
Jeez Somebody remembers!

What about tape loop drives?
I thought the first killer app was email?
