Alternatively, another way to decrease oil consumption would be for Google to buy a refinery and then dismantle it. I'm just sayin', there are plenty of options.
Utilities are looking at compressing air into underground caverns as a battery reserve for non-constant output renewables (think hydro, but with air instead). Storage is estimated in the weeks/months due to the amount of air that can be compressed and released on demand.
If you buy jumbo jets to prevent their utilization, you still exhaust large amounts of carbon in the production of said jets. The best way to prevent CO2 emissions would be to buy up gates at major airports to restrict the amount of traffic they can accommodate. Airlines would need to adjust accordingly.
Suspense of disbelief. I don't watch Fantastic Four and yell at the TV that it's completely realistic that a Silver Surfer is going to grab me, take me 200 miles above Earth to render me unconscious, and then release me.

BTW, I think we should move to electric cars and hydrogen aircraft. Hydrogen could potentially have the energy density required for long flights once storage is pinned down, and fuel could be generated on site at airports (using electricity and water).
Mind you though, some carriers will unlock the phone for you. I called T-Mobile and had an unlock code for my newly purchased Blackberry Curve in under 15 minutes.
The promotional period was $10/month. It's now $20/month for individuals and $30/month for family plans. Still a deal for unlimited calling anywhere there is WiFi available (including Starbucks and FedexKinkos).
Try using their HotSpot@Home service, which is just a consumer-friendly way of saying they tunnel your calls over IP. I've been a T-Mobile customer for almost 5 years in Chicago (back when they bought Voicestream) and I absolutely love them (seriously, they've been nothing but good to me). I bought a Blackberry Curve, and when I'm near a Wi-fi access point, the phone tunnels the calls over IP instead of over the GSM network. This has helped me a lot, as my office is in a basement (i.e. no reception), so we now have great reception by setting up some 802.11G access points. Also, in our datacenter locations, we simply put some 802.11G access points on an isolated VLAN, and we now have blanket coverage.
Are you arguing that small business threat you well just because they have to face you? I've built a boutique hosting business based on providing excellent value for a fair price. My partner and I started the company because we wanted to compete on service. Not every business is out to screw the customer.
Yep, saw that. Now that it's been acknowledged that the waves do indeed exist (up until that point, they were believed to be extremely rare, which isn't the case), the safety infrastructure to detect and avoid these waves just needs to be put into place.
As a pilot, I can get extremely timely weather data in the cockpit using XM weather (delivered, of course, my XM satellites). I foresee a day coming soon where radar satellites look for rouge waves (100ft+ high) and send alerts down via XM (or perhaps Immarsat, depending on the latitude you're at).
If the police can compromise a computer, then anyone else with the right tools can. Therefore, anything found on the computer should not be admissible as there's no way to verify who (myself, the police, or a remote malicious user) has manipulated the contents of the PC.
As both a pilot, and having a career in IT, I agree with most of your post. But I don't see business travel going away. I know quite a few people that commute weekly (one lives in Chicago on the weekends and works in Boston during the week).
What type of cellphone technology in use doesn't matter. It's simply an issue of geography. IIT is just colocating equipment at the cell tower location. They could put each communications hub on the top of every Mcdonalds for all they care.

Not much environment in space to protect guvn'ar. Call me when we have warp drives and we're worried about tearing up space-time.
I don't go anywhere without my Hasselhoff flanges. I wouldn't think of using anything else on my sub-lightspeed cruiser.
Don't taze me bro!

It's very difficult to process, leaves the land looking like hell, and requires large amounts of natural gas for processing.

Sorry, it's been a long day ;)
You're solution sounds excellent. Can you provide any details on the WebDav part of it?
I've tested Mozy and MozyPro. All in all, my experience has been so so. I'd definitely use it for small clients, but not in an enterprise situation.
If Google has your data, they have enough horsepower to break everything but the toughest ciphers. Aren't distributed systems what they do best?

You're correct, the author of said article is on crack. Just hooking up your wind farm into the power grid somewhere should be sufficient.
Ah, but the police can't guarantee that the "patch" they install, nor their initial malware install isn't open to vulnerabilities.
