I don't know if this thread is interested in something like this but it is an amazing charity concept, the XO notebook. They have a great offer going on now, buy one and they send one to a poor kid in the Third World, all for $400. This notebook does stuff mine won't do. Ok, it runs on Linux but is has 3 sources of power..hand crank, solar, A/C, and lots of other bells and whistles that a hacker could have fun with. Plus,..you might help prevent some poor Islamic kid from becoming a terrorist.

Colorado Law & Induced Seismicity

Copyright 1996 Darlene A. Cypser
Abstract
Earthquakes can be induced by reservoir impoundment, fluid injection, mining, or oil and gas extraction. These induced quakes create a risk of personal injury or damage to property. The quakes induced at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal near Denver in the 1960's caused significant property damage.
