Oh, no, I'm quoting my own sig!
I assume you mean we're saved from having to run all that cruft...
Wild plants start growing all by themselves.
But that's too late... The question is when do you sow, not when will the plants come up...
Eh...I dont see any plan.

They used to be, as you described, "a group trying to develop a plan". Then, in July last year, they completed their plan, and released it.
(And if all that reading is too much, here's the 6 page executive summary of the plan which was released in February 2010.)
All this move by ICANN would do is to chop the last four characters off every
Yeah... Although a variation on it is a good idea: de-emphasize the
The arguments why the suggestion in TFA is bad were outlined a decade ago by Brad Templeton in his essays "Problems, Goals and a Fix for Domain Names". His proposed fix (allow [almost] anyone to create a TLD, but you can't get one solely for your own business) prevents the problems of vanity TLDs while removing the problems of trademark squatting/fighting in
What the hell are they going to replace it with? More fossil fuels?
Sunshine and wind aren't going to meet any nation's energy demands with current technology.
http://www.beyondzeroemissions.org/ has a plan for 100% renewable zero-carbon energy for Australia by 2020 using only current, commercially available technology, and no nuclear (because a new nuclear power station wouldn't be ready in time, not for any ideological reason).
I'm surprised no one has circumvented CAPTCHA by examining the audio.
I assume you're being sarcastic, but for those playing along at home: http://search.theregister.co.uk/?q=audio+captchas and http://slashdot.org/tag/captcha list several successful attacks on audio CAPTCHAs...
In the United States, where the hospital bills for a procedure of this kind are likely to run into thousands of dollars, "disposable" has a pretty broad definition.
Yes, because the billable time for the techs, the cost of certification of the equipment and various other overhead costs nothing.
I think the point is that if the various overheads you mention are on the order of $5000, an extra $500 "disposable" camera is reasonable, even if in other contexts the idea of throwing away $500 worth of equipment seems unreasonable...
my first job out of high school was installing windows 95 on refurbed computers.

I used to work in downtown Los Angeles, and it's a decent place to walk... I'll admit to some dilapidation, but I never worried about being shot.
I visited the US for the first time several years ago, and my biggest disappointment was that I drove on several freeways in LA and didn't get shot at once!
I think there is some confusion here. Red Hat is no longer providing separate patches in the Red Hat kernel package. I am pretty sure Red Hat will continue to provide patches back to the kernel development community. I don't think the kernel developer community are downloading the Red Hat source RPM for the kernel and extracting the patches to include in the tree.
I'm confused too. Red Hat says they still submit their patches upstream first, but then some kernel developers suggest that they poke around in the release kernel instead. I'm not sure which is which, whether RH is playing dirty, or whether there are specific incidents which are causing problems in an otherwise supportive relationship...
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
