I would say that speeding isn't the true cause of accidents that are labeled as such - but that the ROOT cause is that people do not pay attention appropriately to their surroundings. Either to the condition of their automobile, they road conditions, other drivers, etc. So, selling the privilege to speed....ehh. I'd rather states look at how to streamline their budgets rather than discover rudimentary attempts at raising income by some sublime method.
Modern mainframes can run not just z/OS but many other operating systems (like Linux or AIX for example). One of the benefits to mainframe architecture is that it is extremely easy to scale vertically. So, if you want to add more processor to an instance, but add more MIPS. I know, it isn't THAT easy, but depending on the licensing that oyu have from IBM it equates to much easier expansion.
I'll take that you really mean that 'world vision' != 'Bush' and I am on board with that. But, pursuing missions to other celestial bodies is a tremendous forward vision that I am 100% sure didn't originate from anywhere in the current administration.
As far as American in a worldly viewpoint, the way I see it is [] review news from multiple countries/websites [] except from FoxNews:)
I understand and appreciate your point of view (and I have absolutely not forgotten that Slashdot is view by more than just my small section of the universe), but please keep in mind that although economics and politics play a great part in all of this, throughout the history of the world, the word 'sharing' is not normally on any list of priorities for most leaders. Or, perhaps 'sharing' means conqueor first, then share. Romans anyone? Chinese? Not only that, there are quite a few joint ventures with other space organizations (ESA/NASA jointly with Hubble, Cassini-Huygens, etc). Scientists may share in the spirit that school children do, but when you mix economics and politics then care must be take.
I'd ask what steps have you taken to attempt to advance the cause of space exploration - to [attempt to] have open discussion with your leaders and others.
I was about to put a rhetorical question to you, but I'd risk a flamewar and I am not going there...
I have sent letters to my congresspeople on this very issue. Funding for, support for, and most importantly belief in space travel and the benefit to mankind is of tantamount importance. But, it is greatly important to be the 'first' in this endeavor. In the past, the United States has had its share of 'firsts' and 'not firsts' (re: Soviet Space Program and Yuri Gagarin). This wouyld put American in the lead again with a tremendous milestone and achievement for mankind.
Gravity is an amazing thing. On Earth we feel the pull of gravity constantly from the moon (tides). When the moon was more viscous it only goes to show that the Earth or other celestial bodies had some influence on the final shape of the moon.
...is that U.S. politicians bow too easily and too readily to lobbyist' pressure. Sugar ethanol is certainly a reasonable way to go. The technology is there, the science is sound.
I would like to hope that the spread of cost for a gallon of "fuel" would radically shift. Right now we see the breakdown of cost for a gallon of gas [fuel] here. This shows that
what I think is truly the case for our average state:
13% =.384
4% =.12
28% =.84
55% = 1.63
Although I can't find from brief searching for specific refinery/profit breakdowns, I am sure they are out there. I bet realistically profit per gallon has increased by 75% and refinery cost is held at unreasonably high levels because oil companies are not maintaining their resources. I am *so sure* that any investigation will smoke that out.
Now, will the new "Energy" companies be more realistic with this? I highly doubt it.
I do think this is related to the Bush Administration's call for tax free incentives on broadband. When all telecommunications are over a wired network and can be more easily tracked (tv, phone, internet) with CALEA and [certainly] other secret operations that do similar tracking, the push for reasonable encryption over all [or as many] services as possible will be of dire importance.
First off, seeing as how hardly (less than 1%) of recorded music sales goes to the artist, a pure economist might think that if the market can bear it, then it is a valid price. Well, the prices of all goods and services have sharply increased because the cost of energy has increased sharply. I mean, it takes at LEAST 2 to 3 TIMES (if not more!) the amount of money to travel.
The next thing that will be blamed is that iTunes caused this price increase. As an aside, if a $13 cd costs roughly the same as a song on iTunes, where does all of the *extra* money go? I mean, if the price of a cd is wrapped up in transportation, storage, design, and packaging then I'd think the price would be much less.

I don't see how that would help - how many people in Kentucky are named 'Bubba'?

I would like to hope that the spread of cost for a gallon of "fuel" would radically shift. Right now we see the breakdown of cost for a gallon of gas [fuel] here. This shows that
19% taxes
4% dist & marketing
22% refining & profit
55% crude oil
Federal tax is 18.4 cents a gallon. Let's say the average state tax is 20 cents. Assume the average gas price(avg) is $2.97 a gallon:
2.97 =
19% =
4% =
22% =
55% = 1.63
= 2.96
what I think is truly the case for our average state:
13% =
4% =
28% =
55% = 1.63
Although I can't find from brief searching for specific refinery/profit breakdowns, I am sure they are out there.

Wait, that is what http://allofmp3.com/ is for.
