I run Portable Firefox and Portable OpenOffice on my dumb-ass corporate machine. That works like a charm and the awfulbar can be modded to be less awful by setting its history lines to zero in about:config.
One reason I use FF is 'cause it works better with many of the corporate applications than the required IE6!
Today, we stopped 4 lanes of traffic to let a mama duck and her 10 chicks cross.
I noticed a puff of smoke from the tires of the car in front and stopped next to him. A guy in the opposite lane noticed the commotion and stopped as well and flagged the other lane to a stop. The only problem is that this was a good 10km and many roads from the river.
Actually, the car companies have tried everything already at least once. Electric cars were popular for a period of more than 30 years, 100 years ago. So as far as GM and Ford are concerned, there isn't anything new, it is just a matter of warming over the same old shit every few decades and if they are lucky, it may end up a little better than the previous time.
Most(?) people completely miss the point. The main motivation behind both GPL and BSD licenses is to avoid paying tax.
For example, SW Company develops a useful program. SW Company donates said program to a charity controlled by said SW Company, and write itself a tax receipt for umpteen gazillion dollars. SW Company can now avoid paying tax for umpteen years.
When something doesn't make sense, follow the money.
Well, I always thought that the second language of the USA is Spanish, so maybe you should learn that so that you can speak to the other half of your fellow citizens.
They will kill all natural plant life, absorb all available sunlight, douse the planet with darkness, freeze up the North Pole, stop the North Atlantic Conveyor, interfere with the mating rituals of rhesus monkeys and cause the whales to change their tunes. It is the end of the world as we know it!
The oil price didn't move much in other currencies. The USD has devalued. Effectively all Americans have lost about 30% of their worth and are now being paid two thirds of what they used to be paid. That is what is making it possible to bring jobs back to the USA, not just transport costs. Once the USD has devalued by another 20% or so, the balance will be restored.
A couple years ago, I thought that the USD is worth about 4x more than it should be. It has since halved in value and once it is down to about 3 USD for a Euro, the US economy should pick up nicely.
Stone Henge has interlocking blocks - ditto for Egyptian monuments. Most Lego patents are pure bull and expired already anyway. Anyone who wants to make interlocking blocks can do so.
There could be, if there are bacteria living in the crust that can hydrolyze methane. Methane, which is not normally considered to be oil, is a hydrocarbon and is the source of our oil and it seems to be everywhere in our solar system. So, yes, there could be oil on the moon too.
Hmm, one more person who clued in to what is really happening. Even Saudi Arabia cannot increase production at a whim anymore, so the US is rapidly getting the oil stick back.

One sensible comment in a sea of drivel. Aluminium skinned Airstream campers last forever, but they still need the occasional overhaul.
"Silver bullet" Sounds like an Airstream trailer and not a bad idea. Why would they not just buy a bunch of Airstreams? Too cheap I guess.

Some providers use LEO satellites. The latency is of course worse with stationary satellites.
"A reasonable time" in a legal sense is usually held to be 14 days.

Hitler started his run in a beer house in Bavaria. What goes around, comes around.
Play them country music 24/7/365 - or maybe that is too cruel, even for a thief...
I had a calculator like that once - it didn't last long.

The subject says it all. You could get $60k to $120k depending on experience and the scope of the job.
I guess the deserts are populated with rock-huggers, so we have to ensure that these solar projects don't damage the rocks in Arizona...
A Chinese company called Addintools has a little utility that will put the menus back and make Office 2007 usable again. http://www.addintools.com/

Isn't despair de old router in de closet?
Sounds like a piece from The Onion.

You know, even a ship does better than that I think, that is about 10 feet per gallon.
Unless that is how long it takes to build it. If you don't start now, when do you think it will be done?
