Ironically I actually do remember seeing this on the news.

You shouldn't believe everything you see on the internet either... FAKE.... http://www.snopes.com/rumors/freezing.asp

Yay..now that we're unlocked lol... "You know who" as in who? They didn't end the joker story, and im sure they had every intention of bringing him back for the 3rd. I jus felt sad at the end of it. It was an excellent picture though.

We don't have the battery technology to create and affordable electric car. Nor do we have the electrical capacity for plug-in cars. And the transtion straight to solar power wouldn't work, because we don't have the battery power to store it. One way or another, we will need a transitional fuel. Hydrogen is not a gimmic, and you don't synthesize it. They can pull it right out of the ocean water. There are 3 main concerns with hydrogen. 1. It produces a lot more power than gasoline, but it is consumed a lot faster than gasoline. So we need to work on fuel efficiency. 2. Storage: Hydrogen is NOT highly flammable like gasoline, but it IS highly explosive. So safety is the issue there. 3. Infrastructure: Hydrogen needs to be stored cold. We would need to build fueling infrastructure at the same time we transitioned. It would cost a lot of money, and take a long time. The same can be said of any new fuel though.

How has US oil usage dipped to almost null? If that was the case, then demand would be lower, and our price would be lower. Show me a link about how long it would take to build the oil platform for drilling, and then refining said oil. It will be more than 2 years. http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/jul2008/db20080718_965702.htm?campaign_id=rss_daily The "fact" is, nobody knows how much oil we actually have offshore. It could be enough to make us energy independant, or it could be just enough to make our prices go up from all the infrastructure they wasted money on.

I don't think its fair to really compare the two, considering they where completely different versions of the character, and batman story all together. If Heath hadn't died, it would have made the movie better. Now its just weird because you know that they can't continue the story the way they had intended. I don't think any other actor can pull off the subtleties of the character the way that Ledger did. Like the deliberate pauses in speach, and the random lip licking.

I highly doubt it would only take 2 years to get oil from the Florida coast, not to mention the fact that all it would take is one hurricane to wipe it out. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9f/EIA_petroleum_consumption_of_selected_nations_1960-2005.png Considering the fact that petroleum is used in much more than just fuel, you are dead wrong about our oil consumption since the 70s. The clothes you have on right now have petrolum in them. Plastics are made from petroleum. Almost everything we use has petroleum in it. It isn't just fuel. That what people don't freakin understand! Food fuel is dumb, and it sure as hell isn't clean. Hydrogen is the way to go in cars, and solar, wind, hydro, and nuclear are the way to go everywhere else.

The funny thing about that is the fact that Bush lifting the ban didn't change the amount of oil we have one bit, so in my eyes this just proves they're gauging us for every penny we have, knowing their days are numbered.... The amount of time it would take to find oil offshore, and then build the infrastructure to get it, would not help us any time soon, and the fact is, we really should be pumping more money into alternative fuels. It doesn't matter whether you believe in global warming, or oil shortages, or whatever. We are still going to fit the bill for future energy sources, not the energy companies, who I might add, are still making huge profits despite the "shortage".

I still prefer Opera over Firefox...

He means making changes to web pages for IE6 and 7, not making changes to IE6/7.

Computerworld always seems to make a big deal out of nothing when it comes to M$.

Thats because we should be in Afghanistan.

Beta 1 was terrible. I hated it. It was slower than IE7, and couldn't display pages correctly at all. Then again, it was a beta....

To be blunt, most of the general public in the country are too stupid to think for themselves.

If I was at home, and I had those speeds, then maybe, but certainly not at work, which is where I have this great connection.

On a side note, 6 svchosts isn't unusual, I have 6 now, and I'm clean as a whistle. The random freezes could be caused but a lot things..

You are Amiga OS. Ahead of your time. You keep a lot of balls in the air. If only your parents had given you more opportunities to suceed. I'm actually not surprised lol.....

While that is true, we're talking 8 monitors, with 8 different videos, running in High Def.

We'd be phasing out coldfusion, if our content management system didn't use it. PHP FTW. Not sure about AIR....

Adding exchange support is nice, but what they need are administration tools, and better active directory support (cause its terrible in Leopard). Things as simple as creating a default user template, are a bigger pain in the ass than they were in Tiger. I hope they fix some of these things in snow leopard.

Web development is huge in the education field. Getting a job at a university in web dev might now pay as good, but you have much better benefits, and job security. Get on the PHP and MySQL bandwagon and you're set. ColdFusion is used a lot too.

I was under the impression that VISTA is multithreaded. My gripe is with 64bit support. Windows 7 should be 64bit only. All processors made in the last 4 years support 64bit, and the next windows should be 64bit only. Apple is not pushing enterprise, if they were, remote desktop would be built in to OSX, and they'd push OSX server a lot more. Apple knows what it's niche is, and they are sticking to it for now. The iphone is there to compete with the BlackBerry and other multi-capable cell phones, not MS. Multicast imaging is extremely important, especially in the Higher Education market. I enjoy the fact that I can image 40 machines at a time, remotely, sometimes without even touching the computer afterwords.

So they hate windows because they make money off of it? Anyways, I love my MAC, but I'm a realist. As a pure multi-media OS, it beats Windows hands down. I love hitting one buttom on my apple remote to pull up my photos, music, video, or watch a DVD with full 5.1 surround sound, all with a modest Mac Book Pro. But from a network administrator's point of view, I hate having to deal with them. Simple things such as multicast imaging, made simple with Windows, or Linux for that matter, aren't easily accomplished on the MAC platform. I mean, what other laptop has a headphone jack that duals as an mini-optical audio jack?

I don't know where you're getting this from. I buy several servers, workstations, and laptops from Dell every year, and I mean by the hundreds, and not once have they tried to get me to look at a Linux box. If they were pushing them "pretty hard", then they'd be suggesting people buy them.
