According to Figure 1 of the CERA report, a huge part of the "increse" in sales are from "Uncoventional Oil." The Peak Oil theory does address this classification of oil. It is hard to locate, expensive, and very damaging to the environment to extract (just look up tar sands in google or wikipedia). The peak oil theory states that most of the "Conventional" oil has been found, and production will decrease over time. CERA's report simply claims it will happen later, but even their data shows a peak in oil production. Ther key is that there is a limited supply of oil, but no one can agree to when we will reach peak production. That is because no one really knows how much oil is left in the ground, and oil consumption is only going up.
Most of the "scientists" that are comming foreward debunking global warming are funded by special interst groups. These groups consist of oil companies, car manufacturers, and other large corporations. Hmm, connection? Nah.
Hopefully someone has already posted this, but just in case I will cover this subject. The ISPs are not lying about their connection speed. They are just advertising their speeds it megabits per second, not megabytes per second. Most speed tests will give you a result in kilobytes. So be very careful not to get MBps confused with Mbps. Just do a search in google (or whatever engine you prefer) for bits vs bytes for more information.

Yes, obviously. Why else would I be posting on slashdot?
I am tempted to sue Creative for sucking. If they made a better product than the iPod, they would not have to sue Apple to get market dominance.
HaahahahHahahahahahahahahahhaahahah! (Dies from laughter)

Sounds like it would be cool. The best application I can think of is a really fun shaddow puppet stage.
