The real beast isn't the labor and cost of laying the line, its the legal nightmare of researching and purchasing the right-of-way. First, you have to run title to determine who owns the right of way, then you negotiate with each property owner, and any one of these property owners can object, causing you to reroute your line.
What you're actually looking for are right-of-way easements, which should be on record on a county by county basis in the county clerk's office. Or at least they are in my state, Oklahoma. This is not a task for a weekend hobby though. Be prepared to wade through miles of legaleze and title law, depending on who owns the underlying property and how the right-of-way was granted. Another place to start would be the state agency that regulates utilities in your state(ex: Oklahoma Corporation Commission).
You do realize that the price of crude oil (and therefore gasoline) is determined by the spot market, and therefore the oil companies have (almost) nothing to do with the price of gasoline you pay at the pump?
The part about the differences in loyalties of the Symantec researchers was telling, though.

You're looking at this the wrong way; fighting computer viruses is akin to fighting biological viruses, it benefits everyone. Even if stuxnet was being used in some sort of covert fashion, you don't go around using viruses as weapons without having an effective vaccination/cure in place.
Yeah, I picked up Linux when I was about 13 or 14. I was trying to set up a web server for a forum my friends and I ran. While my server never really got off the ground, I used what I learned to set up web servers and websites for business and student organizations at school.
Have them set up a basic LAMP server. That's how I learned Linux. Or for something somewhat more practical for them, how about a seedbox or a mythtv-box. Frankly, the best way to learn linux is to just get your hands dirty.
Today we have massive amounts of both relatively easily obtained oil from oil shale.
Actually, shales are predominantly a source of Natural Gas. The permeability (measurement of ability to transport) of shales is so small due to the tight pore space, that very few liquids actually make it to the wellbore. Its much easier for the gas molecules to make it to the wellbore.
Speaking of natural gas, I believe that's what we'll be running our vehicles on in the upcoming years. Combustion engines only require a few modifications to burn it and we have abundant sources in all the new shale plays being produced right now. Reservoir estimates indicate we have a 200 year supply of natural gas.

As stupid as it is, its the law. He has an obligation to follow the law, not a moral technical compass. If there is a problem with the law then it needs to be changed not broken. You are your technical vigilantes need to be stopped from taking technology into your own hands.
How exactly was he breaking the law? As I understand it, the whole issue wasn't that he tampered with anything. Instead, he refused to disclose the passwords when the person requesting them did not follow proper protocols.
The problem with comparing this to movies is that MPAA Rating system isn't law, merely a voluntary policy (Source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_Picture_Association_of_America_film_rating_system) Stores that refuse to sell/rent R-Rated Movies/M-Rated games to minors are well within their rights; stores are free to conduct their business as they wish. However, on that same note, stores can also choose to sell these movies/games to whoever they want.
With the quality of some professors, you could learn more my specifically not going to class.
I totally agree with this statement. I'm a engineering sophomore right now and there are just some teachers who are just plain horrible. I specifically recall one physics lecture where my grade IMPROVED when I stopped going to lecture. This semester, there are some other classes with the same "quality" teaching, which I'd really like to skip, but the professor has an attendance policy. So, my laptop has become my saving grace. Mind, I dont do anything too distracting, usually just surfing the web or working on other assignments. I've come to find that the classes with attendance policies either mean either the class or the professor is worthless.
What does Nintendo do to help protect the environment?
Nintendo is very concerned with doing our part to help preserve the environment. We're always researching new products and procedures to make our products and operations as environmental-friendly as possible.
Some things Nintendo is already doing:
In Nintendo of America offices:
We recycle the paper we use company-wide.
We limit our use of colored paper, since it's not easily recycled.
We purchase recycled paper towels, report covers, message pads, and writing pads.
We currently recycle more than 70% of the waste that is generated at our headquarters.
We actively promote the recycling of aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and glass in our corporate cafeterias.
We re-use or recycle over 99% of any returned product that we receive from retailers and customers
In our products:
We use at least 80% recycled paper in all of our shipping packaging.
We don't use Styrofoam in any of our packaging.
Many of our instruction manuals are printed on recycled paper.
Our clamshell packaging is recyclable and most recycling centers accept it.
As is stated in the manuals of the Wii console and DS Lite, neither product contains latex, lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB), or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). Additionally, we have been phasing out the use of PVC in our packaging, using a safer, recyclable plastic instead.
We take great care to comply with all relevant regulations on avoiding the use of dangerous materials. All Nintendo products supplied worldwide are designed to comply with relevant global standards. In order to certify that Nintendo products comply with standards for hazardous chemical substances, Nintendo has established the Green Procurement Standards, which require our component suppliers to certify that any parts they deliver do not include hazardous chemical substances, and ensure that Nintendo fully controls its products internally.
The reason Comcast wants it is because they want it for all the reason that the original Bill of Rights was considered dangerous: it will be an exclusive enumeration of all the rights you have. All other "rights" will exist at the good will of Comcast. Not to mention that I expect all kinds of weasel words in it that mean that Comcast's Bill of Rights will be nothing more than "You're allowed to use P2P for as long as we say you can, and we're allowed to change our mind at any time and without warning".
I hope this goes down in flames.
You're forgetting the 9th and 10th Amendments. From the Ninth, "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
FYI, That woman was a 79 year old woman who suffered third degree burns, and was only originally suing to cover her medical costs. Keep it in perspective.
Would you want a plumber to come over to fix your toilet if he didn't know what he was doing?
How about an electrician who doesn't know the difference between AC and DC?
How about a "doctor" who is going to give you an operation, say a vasectomy? You surely wouldn't want that operation to be in question.
What about a lawyer who hadn't the first inkling of judicial procedure?
Even, we the general public must obtain licenses for certain things such as driving or flying a plane or fishing.
The point of a license isn't to prohibit us from doing what we do, its a statement saying that we are capable of performing said ability to a certain standard.
[I]llegally copied music usually sounds 'atrocious.' Instead, they encourage watchers to buy ringtones for Christmas. What kind of double speak is this?

I sense a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly driven back to piracy.
So its not just me? Does anyone have a solution to this? -Chubbz
Hell, feed me enough and I'll show you an "excrement that tests extremes."

You have to pay for people to work. What a novel concept.
