Greenhouse gas to be stored under sea

Now here is a really brilliant idea. How much energy is going to be expended by doing the seperation and then pumping it into the oil and gas wells?

And no I haven’t done the math but I suspect that some system of reducing the emissions instead of finding a short term bandaide would be the better way to go. Of course the time to do this was in the 50’s or 60’s…

Was reading through The Huffington Post RSS feed and saw the headline Exxon Denies Fossil Fuels Cause Global Warming.

Then a few lines down I get to another bit of Big Gov/Big Oil Biz goodness.

Guess where Philip Cooney is going to work?

Yep that’s right folks, he’s going to work for Exxon… Guess they needed a new science writer that is current with the state of lies about Global Warming.

Can’t help but thinking that it would be interesting to know if he has been getting a pay check from Exxon all along, or if Bush’s handlers were paying him to make all that shit up.

Download

“PCLinuxOS Preview 9 (pclinuxos-p9.iso)
is now available on the
following Mirrors for FTP download.”

Use the http://ftp2.be.freesbie.org/packages/pclinuxos/live-cd/english/preview/ link. I tried all last night to get the one off the first link but kept getting a few meg and then quitting. Could start the dl again but would do the same thing. Tried the other one about an hour ago and already got the iso and am burning it now.

GROKLAW
New Zealand’s government is pointing out that if documents are written in DRM format, particularly in proprietary DRM formats, there are privacy and accessibility issues, particularly in the future.

Interesting point(s) made in this article and in the comments. I have run into this before with apple (IIe and IIc and then again with mac. Fortunately by the time I got to using windows I had gotten into the habit of using plain text for the archival properties if nothing else. no way to preserve the formatting but tis a small price to pay for being able to read the document 10 years later. Also other than price the main reason I moved to gimp as soon as I could on all platforms instead of using photoshop and paint and the other propritary graphics programs was the open format(s) the data could be stored in.

Good read. And one to bookmark to show your boss when the open source vs microsloth argument comes up again.

Just found a new word – urbanite which means old broken up concrete. I am a big fan of urbanite!
