Now, to stop this nonsense about the public not trusting the government, we can just put every politician and public servant who makes a decision we disagree with under this test.
You have my sympathy. Nothing can excuse what you did to the girls. You will have to live with the guilt for the whole of your life, but I hope you come to manage it. Not many people I have met have recovered from sexual abuse. I do know two people who have come to terms with it and live happily although it took years. This would be my wish for the girls, and from the sound of it yours as well. Best wishes for your future.
Short answer is yes, using the thin layer technology. The energy to produce a solar panel is less than the energy gained with it by about forty to fifty times. We have used a two panel array (ten batteries though) in our house for six years now and although we have to be a little more careful buying things, it doesn't really affect us although we have the washing machine hooked to a petrol motor but thats more because we haven't got around to buying another one.
Brother just walked in a told me that copper isn't largely used in the grid anyway (Aluminum is), so using a PV array isn't really going to help anyway in cutting copper use down. I still think the non essential portions of the grid should be converted to solar. It seems to me large amounts of power, time, and money are used badly by suppling power to people outside the main power usage areas (eg; rural).
Reclamation of copper from house wiring by working on solutions to aluminum expansion and corrosion would seem to be a better idea.
(Ahh, ya gotta hate that. Short answer may be yes but looking back up the paragraphs makes the long answer was no)

A Look at Google DRM

Why can't they just time limit the stuff for say two years with a separate encrypted key for each song and then un-DRM it when when the two years is up by getting the user to access a server controlled by the media company? Is that such a bad idea?
1) Originality, you must be new here. 2) No, that would mean being wrong. 3) We/I quite like the French. Even if they did Nuke an atoll and blow up a Greenpeace boat in our waters. Americans should like the French because if they hadn't gone to war with Britain, America would probably never have been around for more than a decade. 4) Fark = Forces Armées Royales Khmères? 5) nasty loop that one.
No, you can't keep playing this game. The problem is (as far as I can see) free markets. In a totally free economy you have to balance up between countries. Which in actual terms seems to mean that the rates of pay in richer countries have to fall until you can bring the poorer countries rates up. Then both countries business's go somewhere else with lower rates and both coutries rates drop until they can compete there, etc, etc....
But then I'm not an economist. I'm just old enough to remember my countries 40 hour week with good pay rates that became the 50 hour week. Then the other spouse had to work. Now its both people in a relationship working 50 hours. Looks good on paper I suppose. But where the hell are the kids?
If you are losing kenetic energy that you paid to create (eg:car, fuel) then isn't this just another tax? Sure its a small amount, but in the end you are paying for it. Of course, if they drop taxes because of no longer having to pay power on those traffic lights, I'm all for it.
America -- where most press and all TV-stations are state-controlled. (You really need to see your coverage from outside the U.S.. C.N.N., Fox and V.O.A. are so blatently pro America its laughable)
America -- where politicians are in the corporations pockets.
America -- which uses air-bombers and heavy artillery against the other people. (Who probably wouldn't have a problem with them if they hadn't interfered with their goverments all their lives.)
America -- where the regional governors are all the same. (Insert face, destroy ideas.)
America -- where the Business Party is among the strongest. ( it doesn't need to get elected, it already runs the show)
You complain about random searches in Russia? In France, and New Zealand (that I am sure of) you are obligated to carry identification with you at all times and present it to any law enforcer upon request.
Unhappy about racial profiling there? If you are dark-skinned (thus looking like a non white), you will be harassed and periodically searched on the streets in America. And not in some red-neck backwater, but anywhere.
If you are non-white looking -- don't go out at night. American police have been attacking non-whites (Black primarily) , with the population looking the other way.
Maybe a little bit overboard, after all I haven't been to Russia and most of what I get on America is from the media which is inherently unreliable. Same as you probably. America seems to spend its time seeking more and more control over the world to keep its own citizens quiet, and its leaders rich. Of course I'm from New Zealand, possibly the only country in the world to be sticking to a treaty (Treaty of Waitangi) by ignoring what it says.
I'm all for the principles that I hear represent America, but I think its a little like the Christian Heritage party leader we had over here. He turned out to be a kid f$#^&r.
If you are on windows, have a look at media monkey. Searchs amazon for the cd and, if you approve, it tags the file and downloads the album cover. With the bought version you can also auto-rename the filenames (eg; artist - album - # - track.ogg). Saved me a lot of time anyway.

So, really the E.U. is creating a large datamining store for business that the consumers pay for.
According to the forums, DnD Online will be quest completion and group based(it will probably be near impossible to complete as a loner).
For instance, if you can get the giant gaurding the door to chase your thief down the corridor so the rest of the party can get through then at the end of the quest you won't lose xp because you didn't kill the giant.
Planeshift is in development if you want a Windows Linux MMORPG, its a little rough but looks to be getting better. http://www.planeshift.it/main_01.html
And the U.S.A. is the only country in the world to veto countries being compelled to follow international law. On top of invading countries that weren't attacking them, and funding the overthrow of other governments...err, what was your point?
I always thought burning very fast ( with expanding gases, etc..) was an explosion although according to Answers.com it is;
A release of mechanical, chemical, or nuclear energy in a sudden and often violent manner with the generation of high temperature and usually with the release of gases. A violent bursting as a result of internal pressure. The loud, sharp sound made as a result of either of these actions.
If I was going to be pickier then I probably should have taken into account that the main rockets are a form of controlled explosion and differentiated that from the catastrophic blow to national pride type. I think I'll just leave it with having learned where pickiness gets me.
"Hey Frank"
"Yeah?"
"I need to be towed, my cars broken down"
"I can't man. I've taken to much time off work lately anyway. You'll have to wait."
"Ahh, shit. Ok then, I'll just sit here and play games on my laptop shall I?"
"You'll have to, I really can't come. I'll tow you after work."
"Cheers man. Hey, out of it"
"What is it?"
"My laptop is going off. Some novice tech must have left their wireless open. Hell, its got good bandwidth, bitorrent is maxing out"
"Sweet. Oh well. I gotta get back to work. I'll see you after."
He cleaned his computer? WTF! "Wow, I just downloaded an illegal movie, now I'm going to wipe all the evidence that said movie exists."
So let me get this right, instead of going up to the movie store and renting the movie, watching it and then taking it back, this guy downloads them and then overwrites his discs a couple of times and reinstalls his operating system?
