Canopy's combats are fine and idiot-safe IMO since you give us these marvellous scry devices. I played it at level 30. The only fight I had to reload several times was the dark idol. -------------------- Slartucker: * facepalm facepalm facepalm * Dikiyoba: Are you unconscious yet?

| Biomass Future-- Will It Replace Oil in General | |

:) What an interesting topic! I find it grand that Americans have started to ponder on renewable energies (no sarcasm intended). Biomass is the future. Bio fuels will form a profitable, integrated and international market which can be taken seriously. Look at Brazil: It has become the world's most advanced country in the field of bioethanol fuel - with petrol there containing 40% ethanol. They currently produce 12'000 million litres, they are independent from foreign oil and they'll export their ethanol pretty soon. Since the price of mineral oil is going up daily, the production of biofuels is an undeniable advantage. Mr. Bush would do well by learning from Lula ^_^ Europe too goes for biofuel: Spain and Germany have launched into the production of biofuels (bioethanol and biodiesel), with Germany having introduced total tax exemption on biofuels since January 2004. Also in France it's currently tax-exempt. Sweden has likewise chosen biofuel by supporting mixtures with even 85% ethanol (E 85), in particular by subsidising vehicles adapted to these high levels. The European Union is promoting biofuels, which should cover 5.75% of its fuel needs by 2010. -_- Not very much, IMHO. It's known since ten years that normal cars could use fuel with 10% of ethanol (E10). There is no technical obstacle from the motor's perspective. Even until 25% of ethanol in the petrol would be possible. Well ... the oil was always too cheap. It is to be hoped the barrel price will increase further. quote:This sounds impressive but I doubt that they all use the 85% mix. I've read somewhere that U.S.A. has only 130 gas stations to supply E85. The much smaller Sweden has 140 already (and wants to have 600 until end of 2006). Needs policy. to imho: Water is a big problem in certain parts of the world. A fifth of the world population - approximately 1.3 billion people - has no access to clean drinking water. 80% of all diseases in third world countries are to be led back on dirty water; four million children die annually. You can see three companies from France and Germany who divided already the global water market: Suez Lyonnaise, Vivendi and RWE Aqua GmbH possess the water supplying of metropolises such as Manila, Karachi, Jakarta, Buenos Aires or Santiago de Chile and decide who there receives good water and at which price. But this is another story. As Andrew mentioned: water is no big issue in America. It might become bigger though. -------------------- ^ö^ vegetarians are sexy.

If you would replace "the entire world" with "the world I live in" several world-savers came in mind: - Orlando Furioso from Ludovico Ariost (1516) - Don Quichotte de la Mancha from Cervantes (1605) - St. George who defeated the dragon (1275) - the Bible of course (didn't Jesus want to save the world?) - all the greek mythology (e.g. the Odyssey from Homer) - the Epic of Gilgamesh (2500 BCE) - a lot of fairy-tales (keltic mythology) - 1001 nights with its islamic heroes - the Bhagavadghita ... well, all kind of religious myths. I think the theme of saving the world is as old as human kind. -------------------- ^ö^ vegetarians are sexy. Posts: 1420 | Registered: Wednesday, October 2 2002 07:00 |

I am surprised how many people assume that the first of May is a holiday in U.S.A., Canada and U.K. Well, how could they know if they never go to Worker's Day procession? ^_^ to Alec: Whom do you call Mensheviks in the U.S.? to fuiz: I think that the muguet-tradition had rather to do with spring and was mixed later with the Worker's Day (that was introduced 1889 in France at the Second International, AFAIK). We associate red cloves with May Day, but it's not common anymore. They sell red May ribbons instead. to ef: I don't think so since I had to organize it v_v But I might go to the procession: there will be a speech from Elena Featherston. She will be witch-craft enough I suppose. -------------------- ^ö^ vegetarians are sexy. Posts: 1420 | Registered: Wednesday, October 2 2002 07:00 |

In Crescent Valley you never need food: You gain your SPs by riding miles and miles through emptiness and wasteland (well, green wasteland). Some few towns - but mostly empty ... seems that the she-devil cleared a lot of the scenario already ^_^ I liked the "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls"-style for the hot, female NPCs - especially General Moerder who is providing now her services as Georgia. But a nice idea does not replace a intresting story. The ladies are promising, but the rest is fast food. Riding through the void and meeting some sexy ladies remain. -_- This huge scenario-space should be filled with life... -------------------- Slartucker: * facepalm facepalm facepalm * Dikiyoba: Are you unconscious yet?

Sad? Hell, it was 90 years ago! Men play war, men die in war - so what? Nothing but male stupidness. You better would worry about the climatic change and the quick destruction of Australia's ecologic system, about the unlimited spreading of imported animals like aga-toads and rabbits. These are real sad things. Also: Australia even didn't sign the Kyoto protocol ... -------------------- ^ö^ vegetarians are sexy. Posts: 1420 | Registered: Wednesday, October 2 2002 07:00 |
