Not necessarily. Based on the bandwidth required by towers, I'd wager the phone companies have their cell towers' out stream multiplexed and hooked up to fiber optic. In the event a power outage occurs, it's conceivable that redundant power systems kick in at the tower and continue to process communications. I can't be certain of this but that's how I'd design it.

Why introduce it at any concentration if it's bad for you?

Irony doesn't begin to paint this media giant whining about search engines being extremely biased when they're known for being extremely biased. Is this the pot calling the kettle black?

30% reduction in anything is not consolation, it's settling for mediocrity. It's not working people. It never did.

Or not. Developers have a right to eat and pay their rent. There has to be a give and take when it comes to technology.

Agreed. We're all human and can't expect to be perfect. A pessimist would view this as wreckless where as an alternative approach view is to acknowledge this a constructive step toward an alternative energy source.

Marxism and Christianity are very different in their philosophies. One is more sustainable than the other. I'll leave it to the reader, based on their own beliefs, to conclude which is which. ;)

Agreed. My back hair has gone grey from fighting to get SOAP environments working correctly in Eclipse (they need to fix this!). Despite that, it's a decent product.

I'd suggest you ask Alexander Fraser Tytler who was quoted as saying the above but he's been dead for about 200 years. Maybe he wasn't as concerned for the poor as for everyone.

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years.

Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage."

Ahhhhhh SNAP son!

"If time be of all things the most precious, wasting time must be the greatest prodigality." --Benjamin Franklin

"So on behalf of the British government, and all those who live freely..."

I love how Britain tries to represent free people.

The liver contains larger amounts of iron (a ferrous metal). I wonder if it hurts the mice to be lifted by their livers. I wonder if the liver warms and cooks while they're still alive.

Good thought. I'll take it a step further. Assuming you're right, one application in my mind would be a way of creating a volume of space despite forces pushing in. For example, lets say you put a bunch of positive monopoles in a balloon. The monopoles would repel each other thus keeping the balloon inflated regardless of pressure exerted on the outside of the balloon.

Now here's the part I'm going to take a thought to the n'th degree. Suppose you had enough of these monopoles in a balloon exerting enough force against the pressure from the outside of the balloon. Say our balloon is analogous to the universe and space/time. Now suppose the exertion outward is so great space/time is warped thus creating a white hole.

Not sure that would work but I'd be interested to hear form someone why that's crazy talk.
