Ideally, larger homes, certainly 2 stories, should have wind genrators built into the structure. Less of an eyesore in my opinion (actually would increase the aesthetic value of a home in my eyes), and more difficult for neighbors to complain about anyway. More to the point, if office buildings/commercial spaces were required to have these built in, the environment would be instantly much better off.
It makes me sad that the WTO replacement candidate design that incorporated wind generators was rejected eventually. think about the statementme that would have made to America's critics.
are your friend. the one time I was tempted by low advertised prices to buy from a seller I didn't completely trust and ran into serious trouble, I simply sent two very clear emails of my intention to the seller, left one message, and then called my credit card company to report fraud. I forwared them my correspondence to their lawyers. They instantly refunded the charge ($600) and never bugged me about it again. I have no idea what they did to the seller ow how they collected, but I had the sweet satisfaction of leaving a brief report of the incident on their profile.
Often jus the threat of involving the credit card companies will convince a fraudulent seller to start cooperating.
Whatever the new pricing model is going to be, it's not going to flexible enough. I'm going to buy everything that's good--oops, i mean "lesser known"-- where it's still cheapest and most rewarding: Straight from the musician's themselves, at shows.
Much more relevant than the battery is the fact that electricity is only cleaner if you use clean resources to produce it. In the United States, where something like 50 percent of all electricity consumed is generated by burning coal (a substantially dirtier energy source that gas, although gas itself accounts for 10 percent), hybrid cars are still more experiemtn/novelty than solution.
Environmental standards are rarely/never so stringent as to impede engineering--they just represent higher input costs for the producer. And as an engineer, he gets the satisfaction of making a product that makes more sense.
I've found that the best way to use technology in notetaking is to write them down in a notebook and later read them into a digital recorder, and then plug that into a program like dragon naturally speaking to get searchable results. Or, just record the lecture directly and use that, although occassionally there are quality problems. Voice recognition software is much more reliable than ocr for handwriting. On the other hand, this was for philosophy class notes; I suppose that business notes might not trasnlate to audible formats quite as easily...
I think that while there have been some clever preventative measures described here, computer-based logic will always already be just slightly behind human users. Sorting and value-labeling requires human attention to the particular that computers (and many of their fanatical devotees) simply lack. This doesn't mean things like PageRank have to be continually abandoned, just supplemented by human input.

The cars in the movies now may be faster, but real life is still the place to get good music and free sex.
Excuse me if that was too obvious.
