photo: Julian Last month British newspaper The Guardian started a greenwashing column to turn the spotlight on the dubious claims of environmental benefits that some companies put forth. In the latest of these columns, Fred Pearce takes on BP, showing how that company hasn’t really gotten ‘beyond petroleum’ at all.

Chuva torrencial às seis da tarde, várias pessoas no ponto de ônibus, já com os pés molhados, tomavam um "banho" de água da chuva acumulada da sarjeta graças às outras tantas pessoas que estavam em seus carros e motos se esquecendo de quando andavam à pé e passando com toda velocidade em cima dos praticamente lagos que se formavam nas ruas. O respeito por quem estava à pé passou longe... Na mesma velocidade que passou ...

photo: Mathias Degen Some preliminary data was recently released on how well the 39 nations which ratified the Kyoto Protocol are doing in reducing carbon emissions and the result for the group overall is, well, a mixed bag. Sixteen nations are on track to meet their obligations, while 20 are not. Part of the reason: Between 1990-2006 emissions from the countries of the former Soviet Union declined by 36% as those nation’s economies crashed on ...

photo: Doc Searles Though Congress let the offshore drilling and oil shale development ban lapse back in the end of September, few expected that new rules to develop US oil shale would be proposed before the end of the year. Well, the Bureau of Land Management apparently couldn’t wait. In a move which the BLM says “could result in the addition [to US supplies] of up to 800 billion barrels of recoverable oil from lands ...

Oh no, it begins! Fox is officially moving forward with an X-Men spin-off titled X-Men: First Class. Here's where it gets bad - "Gossip Girl" creator Josh Schwartz is writing the screenplay. He was also offered the chance to direct, but (thankfully) declined. Not only did Schwartz create "Gossip Girl", but he also created "The O.C." and "Chuck". Fox won't reveal any more details about the spin-off, but we can be sure it'll focus on ...

Type-Checking Zero Knowledge This paper presents the first type system for statically analyzing security protocols that are based on zero-knowledge proofs. We show how certain properties offered by zero-knowledge proofs can be characterized in terms of authorization policies and statically enforced by a type system. The analysis is modular and compositional, and provides security proofs for an unbounded number of protocol executions. We develop a new type-checker that conducts the analysis in a fully automated ...

Yesterday's post about taking 4% of principal as retirement income from the portfolio elicited a couple of opposing views which makes for a good debate.It is possible that this decade ends up being breakeven (or worse) for equities. While a ten year hitch with little to show is not unprecedented you figure most people have three to three and half decades to accumulate money. It seems like most people don't save much in their 20s ...

There may be some abiguity about the future time of the wind power portion of the Pickens Plan—is Pickens selling turbines, delaying the project indefinitely, or will there only be a slight delay?—but there’s no doubt about Pickens continuing his push for natural gas for transport. In this clip from the Daily S...
