I know I may be accused of wearing a Tin Foil Hat like my cat did, but perhaps the reason there are electricity shortages in Caleeforneea is that it's being used by Arnold to teraform Mars?
Yeah, a plateau is NOTHING like a "peak" - it's just "an area of highland, usually consisting of relatively flat open country". Do they expect oil production to never again INCREASE after 24 years? If so, while populations rise and oil production doesn't, that sounds like brain dead simple economics - Demand will out pace Supply, which results in extremely high prices for an essential commodity we base our daily survival upon. I don't know about you but "relatively flat" isn't a comfort if I suddenly had to pay [for example] four times what I do for gasoline, or my power is cut off for a month while supplies recover.
About IHS Inc. Corporate Profile IHS is one of the leading global providers of critical technical information, decision-support tools, and related services to customers in the energy, defense, aerospace, construction, electronics, and automotive industries. We have developed a comprehensive collection of technical information that is highly relevant to the industries we serve.
That's a fancy way of saying IHS Inc. is a global lobby and action group for big oil, automotive, and defence industries. They provide "highly relevant" [incorrect] technical information that supports the resource exploitation they make money from.
More going on my blog in a few hours, debunking their claims.
I like how they accuse Peak Oil theorists of delusion, and then they pretend that demand for oil isn't increasing in order to make their unlikely target realistic.
"world oil production will continue to increase for the next 24 years, and then only level into a plateau."
Yeah, a plateau is NOTHING like a "peak". Oh, they expect it to ever again INCREASE after 24 years? It sounds like the wonks that pegged the peak as far off as 24 years, [which seems unlikely due to their constant demand criteria which we know is wrong] can't even twist the numbers into something that means my kids will live to the age I am now before their world is shattered by transportation and energy crisis.
It's interesting that so many people who support open source software, and security through peer review, would obscure their email address for security.
What bugs me most about "Climate change debunkers" is that they are obviously doing so out of greed and have lost sight of the objective we should all have - long term survival. What is obvious is that the sources of CO2 we have the power to limit, also produce other pollutants for the air which we KNOW are health hazardous to humans in other ways than flooding and drying our land. Even IF Climate Change isn't something we can stop, we should be changing our consumption and pollution pattern to correct other emissions problems.
Hey, why did this get ranked Overrated? The guy/gal/spacemonster? knows how to make a FUNNY pro-Bush joke. Or at the very least a funny anti-Bush-basher joke. I do believe that George Bush using The Google, and hearing rumours on the Internets, has helped companies to realize they need to improve their Tubes to better accommodate all Slashdotters and Internets users. The Internet is composed of a significant level of Bush jokes, so without him, Porn might otherwise still be the driving force behind the non-truck Internets.

Touche. But I'd bet a MySpacer would reply with, "Oh yeah, what do you know? I've got like eleventy billions more friends than yous got. You have only 20 and I have 120, so I have like 100 times more friends than you do!"
It's interesting to note that there's a LOT of overlap in the porn 1%, and erotica 49%, and MySpace.

Yesterday the Corus radio network across Canada had a guest on with a study that's presumably scientific but I missed the details, and he found that cell phone radiation poses a 2 to 3 times risk of giving the user tumours. He said the problems with initial studies was the assumption that microwaves at so low an intensity as to not HEAT the subject, could not do damage. But in fact, even low intensity waves cause damage according to his study.
It's fine to demonstrate to government officials why they are being defrauded by companies into accepting electronic voting and tabulation. It's a bit of a red herring though, because the issue would be moot if we demonstrated to electors and elections officials how insane it is to rely on invisible bits to decide elections when the pencil and paper method is extremely hard to corrupt in a First World country like the USA.
I commend Slashdot's earlier efforts on defeating Diebold. Now we have to take this information to the people who have the power to just say no to elecronic voting. And those people don't appear to be the millions of minority-race, elderly, and average electors who are disenfranchised by them.
I agree that humans roasted smell like pork. Don't ask me how I know.
OK, you can ask me, because I don't really know, I was just trying to scare you a little. I'd guess there are some firefighters or hospital staff out there that could confirm or deny your smell sense.
Yeah, because when your democracy absolutely has to work, you want to trust it to college students, when the professionals couldn't design the machines well enough so a 70 year old could use it. And give them the task on the last day before the machines are due for production. Perfect, students are used to pressure.
We all know Microsoft isn't going to deliver a product that doesn't push DRM onto us, so who can we turn to as a device maker, that will give consumers MP3 devices that do what we expect and want (ie. DRM free)?
As the Senior Lead Programming Network Systems Assistant Junior Administrator, I take exception to the fact that titles are out of control. If I didn't have such a long title, how else would I look important in my emails?
Thanks for clarifying. I guess I should have mentioned I have a CS degree but don't currently program in my job. The programmers I know, who I finished school with, ended up going back to school for more, one in software engineering instead. They are both gifted programmers, but couldn't find a job they wanted where they wanted a couple years ago.
And we'd have a lot fewer crappy websites out there [I'd guess] if more programmers had CS degrees. Not that we should regulate something like that...

It's a bit like trying to bring Star Trek Original Series back.
The doctors are both dead, and the funny sounding guys you'd least like to meet in a bar fight are too (Scotty, and G'Kar).

It's too bad they didn't think to just set the clocks back a couple months ;-)
But then when they surf to a website on the shuttle, it might tell them that the cookie has expired.
It's a problem they should fix, so that they can actually launch in an "emergency" situation.
I introduced a kid today to the world of Linux by giving him an Edubuntu CD.
I think you're right about Linux winning only the battle.
And companies would have to be crazy to not exploit Linux for its strengths, since it is free after all.

No offense, but if you drive a HumVee, you really are a bastard.
Kidding. (sorta) I've been there, done that, with most of your life story, even with the SUV rental [because it was the only one in the city].
I couchsurfed in 2002, with a person I met on eBay. I had an excellent time, the couch was comfy, and they smoked outside so my nose wasn't bothered.
They even had 0 feedback, but they were just using a posting ID, and had more than 1000 positives on their main ID if I remember correctly.

I'm just guessing too because I also didn't RTFA, but wouldn't showing them a picture of a predator scare them away from it?
