AFAIK, the eruption of Mount Pinatubo(sp?) made it quite a bit harder to build the case for warming. What about the effects of that big kaboom in the Pacific a year or two ago ?

What's the secret sauce for transferring one's own annotations and notes among all these apps ?

Yes, and Organic Maps and Maps.Me do the same - download entire countries or regions. It is SO tremendously useful when traveling. Have not tried CoMaps yet.

This really matters in map apps when you're on the road. Apple Maps is all very nice with transit planning but without a solid net connection it lies there mutely. Organic Maps (and others) that use downloaded OSM data work well with n

Of course! It charges my personal taser (which I wisely left at home on this trip out of the country).

It has to be a once-only effect tho. If it's repeatable, they've got you for some string of felonies.

In Finland in summer you can have around 20 hours of sunlight per day, so there's a lot of energy free for the taking. But could this tech work affordably at the level of individual properties (homes, apartment blocks) ? Could it be sc

I'd try hanging long sheets of aluminum foil in too-large windows. I imagine someone in academia has studied this.

But then perhaps your photocopiers would need constant updates - to do the usual banknote detection and refusal to copy ?

> Work and hobbies kinda blend. That's the ruling economic ideology - that it's the employee's responsibility to find fun and self-actualisation in the workplace. "Nice work if you can find it."

Didn't a lot of people come to the internet proper after first using outfits like AOL and Compuserve ? I wonder if those outfits served as "training grounds" or "boot camps", and what kind of culture shock their cus

I can see a hedger working - even with a klunky battery making it a bit unwieldy. But chainsaws and mowers need serious torque - don't so don't they need to stay plugged in while you work ?

Player Piano is great. The ending is kind of upbeat and hopeful: If there's no "work" as such, there's always "hobbies" (or whatever you could call it) - ways to feel AND BE useful and to better the world and t

If electric lawnmowers offered the same value, operational convenience, and maintainability (compared to gas-powered mowers) as electric cars do, they'd sell like hotcakes. Two-stroke engines are a PITA.
