Yes, we are heading toward cleaner energy options and at the same time helping to destroy the Earth by adding more carbon. 1) The building of these plants is great, but will add carbon to the atmosphere without any offset.2) The Mining of the necessary minerals is still being done by fossil fuels, so there is no offset there either.

Tor Books Is Giving Away E-Books 172

stoolpigeon writes "Tor Books is launching a new site and running a campaign in which they are giving away e-books (free as in beer) until the site goes live. To get in on the deal, fill out the form at their site, and each week you will receive a newsletter containing links to download a new book. The first two books are Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson followed by Old Man's War by John Scalzi. Scalzi's site says: 'My understanding is that they don't have DRM on them. Or at least, mine isn't supposed to have, and I don't think they're planning mine to be special in that regard.'"

END SNIP

I assume he's talkign about the kernel number (i've never seen redhat 2.2.3). That said, when did it become redhat's kernel? Horrible use of words IMHO
