However, we, as Americans, appreciate to mobility and convenience that we get from automobiles, and I do not feel that public transportation is as flexible or as convenient as automobiles are.
That would hardly be an "american thing" or a measure of convenience that would apply differently elsewhere. trouble is when there is just not enough space for all the cars (parked or in motion) and people still refuse to share public transportation. That way, you pay for the road, maybe for the public transportation in your taxes, optionally for parking space, for your fuel, your car and you are still stuck. So much for feeling free in your own car, heh? In other words: compact cities can be efficient, suburban sprawl cannot.
And at US$600 a pop, in this case there is a chance that there are more tables than holders. That should be interesting when a late-coming eater walks past the smelly crowd, picks a box and leaves.
Obviously it's a bit deeper than that. There is a lot of things that cannot be properly simulated or extrapolated from the current climate models, but one thing is clear: those who take care of their surroundings will live more comfortably than others who do not, at least until that point where the global damage will affect everyone.
Knowing this and knowing that a global effort of 2 billion people is not that feasible, it makes sense to me that action towards a healthier Earth is required and has to start locally, instead of whining that "we won't do anything until China/USA do their bit".
Launching solar shades will obviously affect more people (and ecosystems) than those who can vote for or against such enterprise - be it voting with dollars or voting in some international summit. There is plenty of vacant territory where the populations affected by climate change should be able to move if necessary - that should be well thought at the same time that technological solutions of remedies are put in place as time goes by and as the sea level rises.
To raise such fish, the farmers harvest other fish from the oceans in order to feed the fish on the farms. The end result is still the depletion of the wildlife in the oceans.
Fish lay a lot of eggs. When they do that in the wild, a large percentage of them gets eaten or destroyed. Eggs being hatched in tanks have a higher success ratio, meaning that less harvesting from the wild is required.
Resolution matters a lot for Microsoft vs. Sony pissing contest. Besides that, Sony gains from pushing Bravia screens, while MS gains from getting their DirectX toolkit to work nicely for companies developing for both console and PC games. Resolution matters less for Nintendo as they prefer to make money now with the Wii and live to fight another day when it is really convenient for them to make a HD console.
so are a lot of other attacks once you're already in the LAN. This one just happens to nuke a software-based firewall from the inside. Big deal.Exactly what I thought.. when I'm already in the LAN I want to attack I use a sledgehammer not these computer thingies.
yes, but in that case people need to pay every time the clip is forwarded, instead of visiting webpage that hosts the video clip. It's a kind of a MMS to youtube thing. The question is how to upload webcam footage into it?
Alcohol, and all drugs, should be treated as the health issue they are, not a criminal issue which is fine by me, as long as all treatment related to these recreational drinks/drugs is paid by the consumers instead of diverting resources needed in public health services.
This washing machine/tv example is pure myth... As if it were possible to have the a computer controlling several devices and show its output on a TV screen... pfft.
Either that or all people could genetically modified to be 1/10th their size.
The issues you mentioned can be, in a simplistic way, rooted in excessive population; in reality the problems lie mainly on the distribution of the population.
Part of the solution to global warming/pollution will come from large cities being more efficient, especially on how people can use less resources for transportation. Such improvement can hardly be put into practice if instead of having large cities, people live scattered in a large area. In that sense, having higher population density is probably a better solution than being bitter about how large the total population is.
In the end anyone who puts up TV shows on one of these services is going well beyond fair use I don't know about that... Over here in Portugal we all pay a tax to support the public TV/Radio network. As the tax is charged along with the electricity bill, it's kind of hard not to pay it.
Using this network that is paid by the public, there are a few TV stations that broadcast 24h/7 with open signal, so it's obvious that the TV shows are not secret, or meant not to be distributed. So, why exactly would it be unfair if I would use the computer (or VCR) to record and show to my friends something that was already made public?

Eyes on the code, hands off :)

Wouldn't it make more sense to configure a comparable Asus barebones? it's where they're all coming from, right?

At some point there should be plenty of old people's houses vacant, but that just doesn't show on their price tags right now.
