Which, btw, is awesome. If you can poll via an API the current cost of storage at various providers, and transfer costs are cheap, you can move your data across the world between providers effortlessly (same API and all that Jazz).
You're aware biodiesel is a closed loop system, correct? You're putting CO2 back into the air that was pulled from it with crops, switchgrass, etc. Regular petroleum is shoving CO2 into the atmosphere that has been sequestered underground for millions of years. Big difference.
The solution is for people to start paying for what previously has been an unaccounted-for externality: the damage their energy sources cause. Feel free to whine that it's not fair. I'm sure that'll help things along.
26 year old with a company's worth based on expectations alone? No, I doubt he's diversified a huge amount. And if he doesn't get lucky and sell like Myspace, he'll end up with something worthless when the next social whathaveyou comes around.
Also, let me add this quote from Bill Asher, co-chairman at Vivid Entertainment (one of the large adult film producers in the industry):
"We always said that once the Internet took off, we'd be OK," he added. "It never crossed our minds that we'd be competing with people who just give it away for free."
However, it doesn't mean it's completely patent free. Google still owns all the patents and gives a patent license to use it. They're promising it's royalty-free.
Which is brilliant. If you're a small open-source group, you're a huge target for patent lawsuits due to your lack of resources. Someone is going to think twice before suing Google (or, if not think twice, have an uphill battle against their significant legal department).
According to tests by Boeing and the FAA, CDA at a single airport can save millions of pounds of fuel, and reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions by millions of pounds
Please explain to me what needs to be communicated via lecture that can't be communicated via written word (off or online). Ideas are ideas. While a lecture *may* be a better medium for the communication of an idea, I disagree that written word can't replace it.
Bonus: Why are students going to history lectures when they could be collaborating with fellow students in engineering. Learn some history, but build the future.
My wife went back to finish her associates degree at a community college. Total cost per semester was roughly $1600 (including books, fees, etc). She was taking 4 classes at a time.
A history degree doesn't provide anything past what you could get from an online, verified information source (I dare not say Wikipedia of course). If you're intelligent, you'll be able to comprehend whatever historical issue interests you, and have no need to spend 4 years on it.
I completely agree. If you're an employer and demanding a degree for a job, you should be required to contribute to a national education fund. Clearly, you wouldn't want to pay into this fund if you didn't need the employee to have the skill set, so you wouldn't require it if you didn't need it. This fixes the problem of the employer shoving non-essential education costs on employees (inflating the cost of education due to supply/demand, taking money that would've been spent on other things and put into an "education", and so forth).
I say this as a business owner with no education over a GED (tech solutions consulting firm). My job postings always ask for experience or demonstrated knowledge, never a degree.
Usually, TV stations (that get fined for being off the air for not using their spectrum) and hospitals (which, you know, you can die at if the power goes out depending on your circumstances) have an easier time getting money for redundancy because the bad results are more expensive than if LOLcats is down.
So you're saying whatever government entity is doing this work is going to run out of diseases and ailments to cure? Doesn't sound too bad to me. As long as people suffer from disease, or die due to their bodies failing, there will always be work to be done.

If the API is identical, Google could create significant pricing pressure on S3, as I'm sure GOOG has *a lot* more spare disk space lying around.

He's a billionaire *on paper*. That *worth* could be wiped away in seconds.

Give me answers and solutions. Not whining.

Agreed. I trust Google a lot more to do the right thing and destroy the data than the German government. Who's track record is better?

No, those who do it for profit would quit. Those who enjoy doing it would continue to do so.
I agree with your post. I'm saying you don't need a 4-year degree in history to have the understanding you describe.
