Ok Thinking like the fish I would choose neither hydro-electric turbines nor "osmotic reactors" but guess what I am not a fish and would choose either over using hydro carbons to produce energy at least once that are set up and functional there are only localized ecological impacts as compared to the global impacts we are seeing from the combustion of hydrocarbons, but as to think like a fish again I would take the turbines over the "slow" death hyper/hypo salinization

Forgive me if this has been stated already in this discussion but the "claim that extradition would make the 43-year-old's death 'virtually certain.'" is on the same line of thought that breathing makes death virtually certain, the only way that I am aware of to make death uncertainty inevitable is already being dead, his death is no more certain state side than it is across the pond, this is the kind of logic that gets Drug lords who have robbed us billions of our "hard" earned dollars of on parole and the single mom who five finger discounts a can of baby formula to feed her infant child because she is to malnourished to produce her own breast milk because not only did her HMO cancel her coverage but she lost her job because she could not afford a babysitter, 20 to life in a supper max! God Bless America where Crime doesn't pay, that is unless you do it to the 'n' th degree

How much is this Swedish(Taiwanese) Made Pen15 enlarger gonna Cost?? It maybe "desktop" sized but I doubt desktop prices!

this would have been a more Valid comparison if Gates still ran the show, though it is still Valid, I think Ballmer is doing the best with the hand he was dealt hes trying to turn around ~35 years of monopolistic behavior!

"Kann man Herzen brechen
kÃnnen Herzen sprechen
kann man Herzen quÃlen
kann man Herzen stehlen

Sie wollen mein Herz am rechten Fleck
doch seh ich dann nach unten weg
da schlaegt es links

KÃnnen Herzen singen
kann ein Herz zerspringen
kÃnnen Herzen rein sein
kann ein Herz aus Stein sein

Sie wollen mein Herz am rechten Fleck
doch seh ich dann nach unten weg
da schlÃgt es links
links zwo drei vier

Kann man Herzen fragen
ein Kind darunter tragen
kann man es verschenken
mit dem Herzen denken

Sie wollen mein Herz am rechten Fleck
doch seh ich dann nach unten weg
da schlÃgt es in der linken Brust
der Neider hat es schlecht gewusst"

Ich mÃchte zu Rammstein danken sagen.

See EVEN Rammstein saw this coming years ago...

Well Part of the reason there is "no" or very little research funding is due to the fact that the US is the last remaining super power so there is no competition! Then to top it off the US is to busy War mongering to be able to afford much else. They're too busy bailing out GM because with out GM who the hell is gonna build our Tanks and armored vehicles? With out war toys the US has nothing! I say let GM fall, instead of giving money to a company whose sole product is based of the internal combustion engine which will in a few short years be obsolete, that is if we don't figure out how to burn some thing apart from hydro-carbons in which case were all eFFed any how so let the floundering company die and get some new industry in instead. Spend some money on research and development for Hydrogen cells or solar energy or better yet develop a car which charges it own battery with a wind turbine turned by the moving air which it creates while moving. now that would be something worth spending my money on! let the people choose what our billions in taxes are spent on!

I am not so sure they are listening to anything or everything Slashdoters say, I know I sure don't and if they were listening they would open up their source and stop hiding behind "trade secrets" its not a secret the Windows operating systems are FAULTY, holey pieces of horse SH*T. if they really listened there product wouldn't need to be closed source because there wouldn't be much to fear. They just do NOT wish to lose a near perfect monopoly which apparently is legal to have in the US and is even supported by it after Billy set up his monopoly of Office it was deemed illegal to give it away with his OS making him more money because people "need" to have office and are now forced to buy it!

so maybe it should be called birding, rather than fishing and a big flake a swallows wing rather than a "shark's Tooth". Seeing as wings are scaly, as good coke is considered "fish Scales" ;)

I second Goldberg's Opinion, is he hurting you sammydee? is the rent money still there every month? then why/how does his addiction hurt you? Sure this is your "friend" maybe this is just telling you that you are maturing faster than your supposed "friend" not that there is anything wrong with this but he is from the sound of things harming no-one but himself unless one were to count a GPA as a second entity! My suggestion to you is not to sign the lease with him next year wish him luck and find a new roommate(s) if the rest of the house wants to keep him if there is any other house mates, find a new place to residence. If all else fails get the hell out so you can wory about your own problems instead of HIS, they are his NO-ONE Elses so what do you care?

So Much for a "government by the people for the people" If my cellphone, portable phone, WiFi Radio, BT-Radio are physically harming you, or in some other way interfering with your life drastically, go ahead and search my house and EVERYONE else's who has any wireless/or wired broadcasting device starting with the Radio station at on the corner that makes half the AM band on the radio come in like sh*t, or not at all. Until I am interfering with any one else more than the next guy stay the eff out of my life FCC(Government) and I won't get into your "business." Thank you and have a nice day.

Swine flu, an "African" American in the OVAL office what's next?? Guess what there are Swine Flu out breaks every so often and people die, Obama has only just begun his tenure as President and is all ready doing more for this country than Bush as much as it pains me to say that a Democrat is helping do something besides cut taxes, maybe anything gan happen!! Next you are going to tell me god is real, and maybe just maybe I will believe you.

Are they sure it wasn't shoddy programming that cause over a million crashes?
