what are you all doing to make the world a better place?
Ummm - I'm sitting here, reading slashdot... doing that prevents me from being on the streets, which I think we can all agree makes the world a better place.
3) This is a free service, and it's theirs. You have absolutely NO right to complain about their business practices. If it bothers you, don't use AIM or their servers.
Well, I've never used AIM. The last instant messaging/chat thing I used was either VMS PHONE or one of the UNIX "talk" programs probably a decade ago. (Likely less than that, but...) Since I am not benefiting (if indeed others are) from this business practice, I don't owe AOL any allegiance.
In that case, may I have your permission to complain and whine about AOL and their instant messaging?:-)
Seriously, people can still whine and winge about any damn thing they want to. You have to right to not read it, or to complain in return.
Well, I didn't make the claim, but it apparently depends on whose figures you use.
The DOE show that the prewar production levels were on the order of 2.5 m bbl/day (peak) and 2.0 m bbl/day now.
CIA World Factbook shows Iraqi production as currently
2.25 million bbl/day (2004 est.); note - prewar production (in 2002) was 2.03 million bbl/day (2004 est.)
And the Iraqi gov't says they can return to prewar levels sometime in 2006.

GPP: would you grant [Neanderthals] Civil Liberties/Human Rights or treat them like apes?
PP: Yes, they had larger brains.
The random sampling of copy protected CDs I just did on amazon shows a large number of similar messages. The word is getting out.
I wonder if the backlash will be enough for all artists to do what the Flecktones did:
"Frustrated when he bought a copy-protected Dave Matthews release and couldn't copy it to his Apple iPod, Fleck insisted that Sony not release his new album with such restrictions"
"With the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, there would not be an Itanium today," [an analyst at Illuminata] said.

In 1918, we didnt have antibiotics.
In 1918, the virus triggered a massive systemic reaction in the immune system, and the violence of the response ws what killed many people. There are several diseases which do this, and it usually happens to healthy people (with strong immune systems).
I understand that you don't believe in the article, but this is pointed out in it.
And, please, for the sake of the kids, buy an apostrophe.
More information appears in a PDF linked off of
Fink's bio page. Apparently they use tin in the coating as the conductor. When that melts, the circuit breaks.
I agree that the situation is a serious ethical breech, and I do understand the situation. However, the submitter indicates that there are allegations of direct coercion of the employee by this Hwang fellow.
I'm just looking for a source for the reports of this allegation.
Something's happening - I'm fairly certain that Opera stories are being rejected out-of-hand, while anything with a link to Firefox gets passed on immediately.
Thank you for passing this information along to the community.
For what it is worth, the MacroMedia Flash Player has a security hole that has been fixed in version 8. This is mislisted by Secunia as a hole in Opera?! (But not Firefox. If my tin foil hat still worked, I'd be using it 24x7.)
Why not consider a smaller launch to lunar landing and then scoop up 20 tonnes of lunar debris? This could even be done with a "beowulf cluster" of small launch / tugboat craft.
This is just to get around the cost of launching from the "deeper" gravity well of Earth - see "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress".
Whether this is actually feasible or not is an interesting thought experiment - I'm not sure I buy into it. We could get the asteroid towing the tug-craft in for a crash as well;-)
It rather looks like the artists involved (the Van Zants) are somewhat concerned about the kurfuffle.. they are "continuing to gather more facts concerning this".
you probably put time and money towards buying coffee, playing games, having a better computer than you absolutely need for work, eating twinkies, watching TV,
Now that you have revealed my research program for the ultimate cancer cure, I will have to sue you. My lawyers will be contacting yours.
Fortunately he didn't say anything about the beer part...

What? fucking too much will kill you?

The nickname of the device is a bit off though. It's a paving machine for the Moon. Why not call it something more appropriate?

Do you mean yes to the first part? Or another way: Which one was yes, go ahead and destroy Russia ... or number 2?
The real queston might be: "Would Neanderthals give Civil Liberties/Neanderthal Rights to Homo Sap's?"

I don't see anything in TFA about coercion ... where did that part come from?
At one time you could be this smart and work at the patent office. (It was not the US patent office, but still.)
If this guy had only used an alternate browser, he would have gotten away with it. :-)
Nifty tip - thanks.

Apparently it uses Formic acid. "Things" would get rather itchy if the battery were to leak ;-)
Of course it begs the question on how the formic acid is produced, and whether it is a "green" process or not.
Argh! The proof of the pudding is in the eating (of it).
It rather looks like the artists involved (the Van Zants) are somewhat concerned about the kurfuffle .. they are "continuing to gather more facts concerning this".
Okay, this is likely a dupe, but what the heck ...
Let's put this even more offtopic ... retail outfits should not make their employees smile so much. It just gets either tiresome or creepy ... or both.
Of course not, you moron, how TF would I see it if it's on my forehead?
It's tatooed on my forearm. Sheeze.

Umm, yeah. The same reaction does happen for fuel cells as well. (Of course it depends on your fuel in the cell, just assume hydrogen.)
Howver, no-one ever mentions that water is a green house gas ;-) Ban the hybrids!
