I live in Phoenix. I'll have costal property to retire on without moving to Florida! The glass is way better than half full! Come on, baby needs a new beach!!!!!!
The point is electric cars are far more efficent. Something like 5X more efficent than a gas engine. Even if you had to use petroleum for the power plants and allowed for line loss there's still going to be a drastic reduction in CO2 released. When you consider you need a 1/5 of the power then alternative methods get interesting.
Nuclear isn't a magic bullet and we all end up paying for the clean up since power companies would prefer the government deal with the mess. Just because nuclear doesn't release CO2 doesn't mean it's clean. It's not just the fuel rods there's contaminanted water and other wastes that need to be stored. Remember you don't have to bury a coal fired plant when it's decommissioned. I don't like coal either. If the CO2 could be stored it is safer although there are bigger threats that also need to be removed like mercury. Coal plants are the primary source of mercury in the environment.
I find it interesting that these are the very reports the anti fetal stem cell people always quote. Seems like a consistent theme of anti global warming and anti fetal stem cell factions, psuedoscience.
Wouldn't it make more sense to send up a female mudwrestler greased rather than covered in protein? Seems like more power would be generated and selling the videos could generate much needed cash.
Why is it only thieft if they stole a physical disk or tape? The information is the same. It's more symantics than law. If he brought his own disk it isn't thieft but if stole one of theirs it's thieft? Well here's a brain bender, what if he did steal one of their disks? How the information was removed isn't known. People don't have the rights to everything, that isn't the law. If I make a video you don't have the rights to it the moment it's shot. In the case of 24 no one is asking you to buy anything. Put yourself out and actually flip on the TV. If it doesn't match your precious schedule buy a TiVo. There are options other than midnight raids on TV networks.
This is an obvious case of thieft and they have every right to plug the leak at their end. Posting episodes before they air has to be coming from their end so they have the right to locate and fire/prosecute the source. It has nothing to do with fair use it has to do with protecting their work. Advertisers can potentially cut funding and kill the series if they don't defend it. Youtube really has no choice since they'd be protecting the thief. Supporting the people involved harms those supporting fair use since it appears they are supporting outright thieft. A line has to be drawn and they crossed it in this case.
On the brightside there's a virus floating around that takes advantage of this to install Linux over Vista thus solving all the security and issues and slowdowns.
A friend was curious and checked it out. Marvel never trademarked the term "superhero". That was ten years ago so it might have changed since. Each of their characters are trademarked but not the term in any fashion. It's debateable if the term can be in of itself be trademarked at this point. He was trademarking some things at the time and I know he was tempted to establish a "Superhero" trademark but it would mostly be a logo trademark.
He's pointing out another possible contributing factor. There are lots of them including volcanic activity. The one thing none of it adequately accounts for is the spike in CO2. No one is disputing the CO2 spike is manmade. All the other factors are within normal levels and would not account for an unpresidented spike in CO2. If he was working for corporate america he'd claim Spotted Owls were causing the CO2 and cutting down the forests would reduce the number of the little CO2 machines. No reputible sources are disputing global warming and that humans are the cause. The only issues are how bad it'll be and if it can be stopped. If you notice our flipflopping President quitely acknowledged global warming and that we are the cause. Amazing the press gave him a pass on this since he went from saying global warming wasn't proven to accepted science overnight with zero fanfare. If CO2 levels are any indication we are in for a rough ride. I hate to break it to the flat earthers but there is a well established correlation between CO2 levels and temperature. If CO2 levels are even close Florida may be the first state in the union to give fish the right to vote.
It's going to cost thousands of corporate jobs and eliminate whole departments. What do they expect companies to do? Depend on actual positive feedback from customers?
It's because OSX is the new watermark instead of the other way around. Everyone has admitted Vista is mostly security and has few new features. Both Tiger and Leopard have new features many of which don't exist in the Windows world. It's debateable how many new features will be added in the next Windows release and yet there's little doubt there will be new features in the follow up OSs out of Mac. Windows really isn't trying to compete on features they are largely trying to play security catch up. It's not a troll it's a simple fact. Mac still won't replace Windows but they are starting to get like apples and oranges comparing them. The primary benefit to Windows is software and hardware availibility selection. If you want lots of user oriented features Mac wins hands down.
It would also remove a substantial amount of atmospheric heat that is released with the CO2. Might I suggest adding a second cork to prevent the release of methane which is even a worse greenhouse gas than CO2.
What are the limits on the cost of the system? There are plenty of ways of removing CO2 but most are expensive. If he wants a plant that can reduce that much that could be built for say 25 mill then that's a tough one. Also can it be either removing that much or a method to prevent that much CO2 from being released? Effectively the same thing.

He might still be around. If Keith Richards can live this long Willis could still be alive. He maybe a head in a fish bowl but there's still hope.

Sorry I'm not from that camp......God I'm going to Hell for that punt aren't I?

At least we know what happened to the Indonesian Hobbits. They didn't die out the evloved into physicists.

I hear they are optimizing Duke for service pack 4 but I'm not holding my breath, they didn't say service pack 4 of which OS.
The President might have a used sign he could loan them. Seems he won a war a few years back.
I prefer to wait for the movie to come out. I'd like to have Stephen Speilberg's opinion as well.

"Just because Mac did it first doesn't mean we are ripping them off." "Windows, second place in innovation. First place in market penitration!"

Burning Down the House may have been a poor choice for a new a theme song.
Wire up the chair and every time they look away give them a shock.
The courts are only allowed to consider letter of the law and not intent. Given how poorly most laws are written it leads to this kind of abuse.
That's just silly. Kids still know what a vinyl record and 8 track tapes are....Second thought strike that.
If they started based on economic value I'm assuming the first seeds included were Hemp. It's the biggest cash crop in the US.
