Right, because when someone invades your country you want to be able to nuke them on your own soil? Oh wait, I know.... It's because the best way to keep from being attacked is to do the biggest thing you can to provoke, and in some peoples minds justify an attack right?

None of US really WANT to use them?

Block FF, IE, and Chrome from accessing your site.

If your relying on television programing of any kind to teach your kids a positive child / parent relationship, Disney is probably the least of your problems. Imagine the difference if you didn't just plug the kids into the TV for 2 hours a day in the first place.

Read the summary much? It clearly explains that the 230MPG is the result of a new method of calculating/converting the electrical consumption to fuel consumption. If your going to bitch about something, at least bitch about something real instead of something you imagined due to being too lazy to even read the summary.

Perhaps the Internet can just ban the Government instead...

It would be a WIN - WIN Situation

Not only female, but Adult Females who have already given birth to 1-2 Calves (depending on region).

No, if they REALLY wanted to rip off Apple they would cut the price of Win 7 down to almost nothing, but then force you to run it on hardware that would have been cutting edge last year that you can only buy from them at nearly twice it's value.

Then they can offer all kinds of accessories to their zombies... I mean customers... Like a 1TB SATA ""Cable-free"" drive for $299.00 USD

Let me get this right...

You don't think it's funny, so I am the one who doesn't have a sense of humor?

"The reason the sun never sets on the British Empire is because God doesn't trust the British in the dark." is at the least a 150 year old saying, and damn if it doesn't get funnier every time I hear it. Of course it was funnier as a reply to the first post (by someone else), that seems to be gone now.

""The reason the sun never sets on the British Empire is because God doesn't trust the British in the dark.""

Awwww come on.....

This is a VERY useful tool

Yes, My ancestors were from one of those areas the British campaigned in

Dependent on the total size of the data you want to store local copies of...

.

Buy a good flash drive and keep it on your key chain. Preferably an Ironkey ( www.ironkey.com ) or something similar that offers some serious hardware encryption along with other anti-theft features.

.

Use something like XMarks for Firefox so you can access all of your bookmarks, and even stored passwords if desired, without storing any of it on the netbook. Now simply treat the netbook as a public access PC. If it gets lost or stolen there isn't anything on it to worry about in the first place.

Bonus for international travel is that you don't have anything on the PC for customs to nose around in, and no software making you look ""Suspicious"" just because you value privacy. Or better yet, you can just leave the netbook at home and use your flash drive on a PC at your destination.

.

Potential deal breakers - 1. If you need to carry around more than 8 or 16GB you'll have trouble finding a really good secure drive. Sure more than one drive would work but at some point multiple drives become silly. 2. If your one of those people who can never find their keys or is constantly losing flash drives this is probably a really bad idea.

You can be sure it will be structured so that only X% of the transfer given to them is returned to the people giving it, that is the whole point. That way they get to sell all the leftover capacity.

The thing is, do you really want to set up a web site to use "Cloud Storage" when most of the computers in the cloud are run by 14 year old kids who in addition to hosting that image or stylesheet are also downloading a couple of new movies at the same time they are trying to seed back enough to keep a positive ratio on that private tracker while burning a few new CDs for a friend and getting in some PvP time in WoW?

Seriously, Cloud anything is a great idea but the only time you PAY for it is when it is a mission critical service... and how likely is it that a cloud of PUBLIC Tracker users that don't have the sense to go private, or the couple of bucks to not have to share are going to be able to provide a quality service?

Except which projects they will continue to support or not every time their budget is cut.

Russia already said a couple of months ago they would detach their module(s) and keep them in orbit, but if NASA decides to "De-Orbit" everything they have control over there isn't much anyone else can do about it.

And even if NASA just left it up there, who really wants to try and support old warn out tech designed by someone else?

If only there were a way we could find out...

Oh wait... I know...

Maybe check the single link to the very short article where it mentions twice an "estimated" 100 Billion (US$) combined from all involved countries.
