Another key feature is the capability to use human blood or sweat to help power the battery. Just a minute, I've got to cut open a vein, my cell phone just went dead.
So... what are you trying to say, there is no hope for the human race? I personally don't think the future has to be doom and gloom. We decide our own fate and I believe that with a little imagination and a lot of drive, we humans can overcome anything.
I'm sure you're right about solar power being a big part of the future - but maybe not in Scotland;) I couldn't agree with you more. Scotland does not have a lot of sunny days, but with all its coastline, it has plenty of waves. I think each country is going to use what works best for them. Solar power will definitely dominate in the sun belt countries but wind and wave power is a must for countries with more inclimate weather.
don't force your Marxist views on others I don't know, the idea of giving an individual or group what amounts to be a government sanctioned monopoly doesn't sound very capitalist to me.
I think of Slashdot's moderation system more like movie/game critics' ratings. They are just opinions that you can choose to listen to or not. Slashdot just makes it easier to ignore comments that rank low in the opinions of the majority. That is hardly censorship.
I am very surprised that some free speech or Internet advocacy group isn't stepping up to offer her free legal help. One would think that if this was truly a miscarriage of justice, somebody would volunteer to help this woman fight it.
Of course the human race will survive the next 100 years. Short of an extinction event like an astoroid strike, full scale nuclear war etc, human beings can weather pretty much anything thrown at us. The real question is whether or not our civilization can survive. Disease, famine, war, the greenhouse effect, these could kill millions or even billions of people. Governments would be thrown into shambles and anarchy would reign as people reverted to animals, cannibalism would become a necessity in many parts of the world, but as long as there is at least a handful of people, the human race will live on. However, it will be completely different society than what we have now and as the population grew they would create their own civilizations.

It Multipath TCP ever comes to the U.S., I'm sure AT&T will call it 5G.
Great, more fodder for the racist trolls to 'prove' that there are actual differences in the races.
I'm glad they are starting this now so hopefully by the time we run out of IPv6 addresses, we'll be ready!
And it was SCIENTISTS not creationists that discovered and exposed the hoaxes.
I thought Windows was a botnet!
Actually, there is are earthquakes in Alaska. In fact, three of the the top 10 most powerful quakes in the world were located in Alaska. Just take a look here: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/world/10_large st_world.php
