The idea of turning people into fuel isn't that far-fetched at all. It was only last week that Syntroleum Corp and Tyson Foods announced a multi-million dollar deal to build a plant to turn animal fats into biodiesel ( CNN , WSJ). There were not specific about the source of the "animal fats"...
As the lavadome and spike grows, small rock-falls happen quite regularly. When they happen at night, the hot rock glows in the near-IR and is captured by the US Forest Service Volcanocam http://www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/volcanocams/msh/. There's also a website that collects the individual images and generates daily animations of outbursts of the volcano http://www.luscombe-carter.com/mount_st_helens/ind ex.html.
I'm an egotistical bastard, so I name all my projects after myself. First Linux, now git - Linus Torvalds
Using this logic, I wonder what the next Windoze should really be called?
Bill? Nah, thats just boring. Gates? Nah, same deal. BillGates? Doesn't work. Maybe compress it into a funky sounding B-Gates? Perhaps a slight tweak and we have Bates. Of course Bill would be pondering this as he is being worshipped by the admiring VP's - yes Master, of course Master, whatever you wish Master...
Okay, I remember lugging a tty terminal home over the weekends to play zork back in 1979. Not an ideal arrangement, a significant waste of paper, but it did make it easier to generate a map of the game! Oh, and the telephone kept popping out of the acoustic coupled modem (running at 2400 baud) all the time... Portable?

Another free and previously/.'d program is Worldwind. Which not only gives you the USGS 1m b&w images, but high res ortho 30cm resolution images in the US and worldwide Landsat imagery in 3D! Oh, and version 1.2e has just been released!
Well the debate on whether Mars is alive or dead isn't exactly settled yet and even if it just "microbes", they deserve to be protected. Don't you think?
The only answer to this question is that all of Mars should be declared a Extra-terrestrial Park. No mining, no exploitation, no contamination. Otherwise its just death by a thousand cuts, just like good 'ol Earth.
A good checklist of cars fitted with blackboxes

If you want to know which cars are currently fitted with "black boxes" there's a reasonably comprehensive looking list on the Harris Technical Services website: http://www.harristechnical.com/cdr.htm.
Of course the real question is who is working on a hack to enable us to turn these babies off?

So maybe Master Bates would be appropriate?

Has the religous looney right become so powerful that they really have this sort of influence in the US? Thank god I live in Canada...
... in Japan, China, and possibly openings soon in the European Union and India...

Not now :-)
The first look at a moon with its own atmosphere that may resemble the atmosphere of the early Earth?
You are right! Doh!!!!
