All of which avoids the point that there is no peak oil theory. Supply and demand, new technology, new exploration (mostly outside the US really) all play a part in bringing commodities downward.

Oh, and those graphs are a 15 year timescale for whale oil--we're talking a longer time period.

StarControl really had a great storyline--this honestly could be rebooted in a variety of ways:

Classic Reboot: Making it another space-adventure game
RPG/MMORPG Reboot: Playing as a character race for any of the main offshoots
Single player Reboot: You fighting as the humans to free other races in a single person (or dual-player) mystery/adventure

You may be thankful that twenty years from now when you are sitting by the fireplace with your grandson on your knee and he asks you what you did in the great Office War, you won't have to cough, shift him to the other knee and say, "Well, your Granddaddy sent a fax in the copy room."

Harvard Faculty Adopts Open-Access Requirement 147

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday February 13, 2008 @12:44PM from the step-in-the-up-direction dept.

Vooch writes "Harvard University's Faculty of Arts and Sciences adopted a policy this evening that requires faculty members to allow the university to make their scholarly articles available free online." I may not be smart enough to go to college, but at least I can pretend to have a Harvard eduction. I don't think that will be enough to get a gig as a Simpsons writer.

Outer Space has a Smell 274

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday February 13, 2008 @11:16AM from the anosmia-sucks-in-space-too dept.

repapetilto writes "ISS Science Officer Don Pettit reports in his journal that outer space gives off a smell best described as "a rather pleasant sweet metallic sensation." Kind of odd considering smell is supposed to be due to volatilized chemical compounds."
