Of course, that only works if you turn "track changes" off in word... :)

Most isp's don't give out ip6 addresses

Most home routers don't handle ip6 (apple is a notable exception here)

This is going to be a bit ugly for a while.

Yeah but you need a massive amount of fuel to accelerate to C and then slow down again. About 40,000 times the size of the shuttle's boosters.

Perhaps this is why, despite our best efforts, no other civilization has contacted us. It's simply too hard to bridge the huuuuge gap between the stars.

Yes, if I was going to build a universe with all sorts of playthings in it, I'd probably separate the experiments with enough spacetime that when the odd experiment blows up it doesn't really affect any others around it.

Not that I think that the universe was actually designed, but if it was, that would be how I would do it.

If it was so easy to make cars twice as efficient, don't you think we would have done that already?

That line was put in for the SUV drivers out there. We have already made cars that are twice as efficient as a SUV.

However, there are whole new classes of hybrids out there that get good fuel efficiency. And some very efficient conventional engines. They just don't make it into many current vehicles. However, if we adopted these vehicles in a wide spread manner then the overall efficiency of the car fleet would probably nearly double.

Responding to an AC - I should feed the trolls....

- Until 9/30 most all of the CDs are $7 which includes a physical CD and 192K MP3 files loaded nicely and permanently into your locker.

- One poster complained you can't download the MP3 file without installing an application. That's inaccurate. You can download all the tracks individually directly from the locker - no application install required. Just click on the triangle in the flash UI and select "download".

- We do provide several different applications for your convenience all of which work on Linux as well as the other PC OSes. There's an Album Downloader which will with one click download any new purchases and load into iTunes or your fave media player. There's also Locker Sync 3.0 which will sync your entire music library from locker to PC. So lots of different options.

- Slashdotters might be interested in our API (see: http://mp3tunes.com/api). My vision is all your music goes into your personal locker and then with a click can be streamed or synced to ANY device in the world. It's a very open view of the world and of your media. We have 100,000 lockers and a great list of devices coming by this holiday season all of which talk directly to a locker. We're even having a contest to spur developers for $10,000 to come up with new music devices/interfaces: See http://mp3tunes.com/contest
