ummah? If you mean infrastructure, then you should consider the communist influence on the third world. Those boys didn't understand money. There obsession with violent overthrow of government, has hobbled much of the third world. Third world is gullible, and they buy inferior jets too.

Obviously, don't get that stuff on yourself.  There is also the waste material produced (but all energy production involves waste which is the inefficient use of material in the production of energy).  Finally, remember that no one died at Three Mile Island.

Revise your question. I think there is a mistake in the information you are giving.

Bad distribution of wealth from the beginning.  Too much corporate, colonial, and land-baron greed.\nThe United States was built by pioneers who owned what they built.\nNot so in South America.

I think they waste more than they save. There are alot of other needs in this world that is being over looked. I think we have poor leadership, and someone needs to do something about it.

The way I see it is: as a society we are mass consumers. We buy, use a little, then throw away. Very wasteful. If you can reuse something, it puts a smaller demand on resources and your own pocketbook, not to mention the impact that recycling has on the environment that we live in. It's too bad that we are trained to just be consumers and not to see ahead enough to recognize the problems associated with this consumerism. Good Luck! That's my two bits.

You have it backward.  The temperature is dependent on some function of time not the other way around.

I think that would just cause more problems because of over population and sparse natural resources.\n\nI guess that's a no.

Oil profits are part of the reason for the wars AND the limited capacity of refineries. I wonder what progress could have been made in the development of alternative energy supplies with the billions that have gone down the drain in those wars.

The United States uses 30 times the natural resources per person than most of the rest of the world.  These all use up energy which we buy from the mid-east and from Bush's friends.  They control our lives because of this.  Use less and we gain more control.  Consumption feeds business but ultimately leads to loss of real power and control.

The reason the US consumes a disproportionate share of the world's resources is not because we're wasteful, but simply because we have the biggest economy in the world.  Consider the fact that economies of scale also make the US economy one of the most EFFICIENT in the world, in terms of resource input per unit of economic output.\nThe fact that the American economy is so large and so efficient also has beneficial effects on other countries; in other words, we tend to spread the wealth.  Chances are that whatever is manufactured, grown, mined, or designed in the country where you live is exported to the US.\nFeel free to disparage the US and Americans all you please - we don't issue fatwas against everyone who hurts our feelings - but you cannot ignore the facts.\nIf you were to postulate that Americans are living beyond their means by running up incredible, unsustainable amounts of personal, corporate, and government debt, then I would completely agree with you.

Why the reversal of roles to begin with?\n\nAir would naturally be cleaner in a country setting with less industry and traffic... if out of the path of smog coming from any nearby city.\n\nNot a lot worthy of debate here.

What we have here is a false dichotomy. There is no reason why we can't do BOTH. I see both those next door and those in the next continent as my neighbors. I care for both equally. Too often we value the lives of our own countrymen more than those who are not. I think that's wrong. There is absolutely no reason why anyone on this planet need go hungry. The earth produces FOUR TIMES the amount of food necessary to feed every individual on this planet. The fact that there are starving people anywhere can mostly be blamed on greed and misplaced priorities on the part of world governments. If we work to solve the problems of the poorest among the human population, we will simultaneously improve conditions for those in more affluent places like the USA, Britain, UAE, etc. The average person in these affluent countries throws away more nutritious food than the average person in a third world country receives as food. It's this sort of thing that we need to change in order to feed the hungry here and elsewhere.

The bottom line is it is about the all mighty dollar.  Maintaining access to foreign goods means that our government feels a need to exhaust our resources to "make nice" with other countries to help them with their strife--at the sacrifice of our own needs.  Sure there are some of the richest people on the planet here, but not all.  There are also a lot of severely impoverished as well.  We need to get our priorities straight as a nation.

Because some people don't actually believe in material culture. Money is the root of all evil. When you have less, you are more happy.

First of all Anirudh, Really got to appreciate the parents of yours who bore such a genius.\n\nYour research paper of Non Redundant Compression, was my life time ambition, but I am glad that you already solved it. I would like to read it. If you have a copy of the paper for educational purposes you can send it to spkranthisagar@yahoo.co.in\n\nComing to your question.\nI might be a novice to answer such a question from you. I would only try to comment. Yeah big companie's policies are always not clear. Some obvious things seem to be difficult.\n\nIt may be because of the big organizations employ ordinary people like me along with smart folks like you....\n\nEvery one should be given right positions. Even if it means most of the workers in a company not even logging and programming in your main server of the organization. Big companies always tradeoff quality with productivity/money. What good of a dollar is if it does not serve a purpose.\n\nEspecially in the technology driven days...\n\nHave good day.
