    eBay - PowerBook G4 667 MHz or more 12 Apple Laptops Finder

    Wanted: used apple powerbook, 867mhz or higher. Airport a must, bluetooth would rock.

    As much as I’d like to have one brand new, with apple switching away from ppc I figure I get a cheaper used one to hold me out a few years until something really sweet comes around. And I’m dirt poor, so the price of a used powerbook should be around half of a new one.

    Guardian Unlimited | Life | Two-thirds of world's resources 'used up'

    Goddammit… A UN report tells us how much we’ve really fucked up mother earth over the centuries, and the answer is – she’s mother fucked. They say that we’ve used two thirds of our natural resources. A group of 95 elite scientists participated in the study, and its our entire enviroment that is being destroyed – wetlands, fisheries, savannas – all the interesting geological features that do things like turn carbon dioxide into the air we need to breathe.

    The wetlands, forests, savannahs, estuaries, coastal fisheries and other habitats that recycle air, water and nutrients for all living creatures are being irretrievably damaged. In effect, one species is now a hazard to the other 10 million or so on the planet, and to itself.

    At least a quarter of all fish stocks are overharvested. In some areas, the catch is now less than a hundredth of that before industrial fishing.

    !!!

    Since 1980, about 35% of mangroves have been lost, 20% of the world’s coral reefs have been destroyed and another 20% badly degraded.

    An estimated 90% of the total weight of the ocean’s large predators – tuna, swordfish and sharks – has disappeared in recent years. An estimated 12% of bird species, 25% of mammals and more than 30% of all amphibians are threatened with extinction within the next century. Some of them are threatened by invaders.
