Wow, this idea is almost as brilliant as bing. Why do people want to punish success? And why help m$? Google may dominate search, but m$ is still bigger, richer, & more powerful, right? Or not?

Does anyone care to comment on reports that Falun Gong practitioners have been imprisoned and used as organ sources? A summary can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reports_of_organ_harvesting_from_Falun_Gong_practitioners_in_China Personally, I believe it is happening. And obviously should be stopped, somehow.

Giant corporations declare bankruptcy, keep on operating, shed all their debt, and emerge from bankruptcy freed of all their debt, and just keeping doing business as usual. Sure, they may have the "bad credit" that a bankruptcy brings, but how does that really hurt them? Not like bad credit seems to hurt an individual. How would you know if you didn't get a job because of your credit? They don't have to give a reason why they didn't hire someone, do they?

Stop using pesticides, not just in the UK but all around the world, and stop creating genetically modified organisms, and maybe the bees will do better all on their own.

The killer app comes from the fact that there *should* be competition on desktops. Apple doesn't represent that. Google Linux will be the base of another n distros that all promise to do what you need for much much cheaper. Siemens NX runs on linux. That does 3d modeling. Linux doesn't need photoshop. Maybe Adobe will fall behind if they don't port to Linux. Ditto for D'Asssault Systemes and Quicken.

I still say "Google Linux" will give linux name brand credibility. Corporations will start to look at it. Other IT vendors, both big and small, will be able to add to it, and market it as being however thin or fat as you need. m$ took proprietary hardware out of the picture, and gave us a proprietary OS on commodity hardware. Isn't the next logical step a commodity OS on commodity hardware?

French company Dassault Systemes has announced that Catia V6 will only be available for Windows, whereas their chief competitor Siemens NX has released it for linux, MacOS, and (still) some unix flavors. Did m$ pay off D'assault Systemes (as well)?

restore points, temporary internet files, old user profiles full of the above crud, software that nobody uses.

Your employer, as part of your compensation, could offer to let you charge while you're at the office. Or you could pay to charge at the office, maybe. Society could change to have recharging "spots" every 70 miles where you can get a meal, get on the internet, take a nap, do your laundry, whatever you do at home (almost). Just being hung up for 8 hours doesn't mean you absolutely cannot do it. I would buy one. I live 6.5 miles from work. I bike everywhere else, weather permitting. Some places where I socialize are further, but this car would let me get around to them as well, and home again, wherever home turned out to be that day. For gypsies or telecommuters, a car like this could be all you would ever want or need. We have to do something.

The best way to keep your cholestorol low is to go vegan and of course be a healthy vegan. My cholestorol is 146. I am not even close to at risk for any of the well-understood health issue. Better yet, in addition to going vegan, go raw and get really healthy.
