Solutions exist. You might not like them, but they exist : http://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar5/...

Why would that be? Because you're a diva, you think you're the best coder ever and don't have anything to learn anymore? It might hurt your ego? Grow a pair and accept constructive criticism. I'd take harsh but constructive feedback from Linus anyday, he's one of the most succesful coders on Earth right now. Why wouldn't you want to get some input from him?
I think it's more of a love-hate relationship. I used to love Ubuntu, and was very impressed in 2005 by the live CD. It was the first time ever I didn't have any driver problem with internet, graphic card or sound card on Linux. Everything worked out of the box. I spent 3 years actively translating packages, helping noobies on the forum and spreading the stoke. I stopped using it after they tried to force Unity/Gnome 3 down our throat. Linux Mint has replaced it since then, and has done a very good job. It's kinda frustrating to see that a once great distro has become unusable, at least for an old fart like me who cannot invest too much time trying to do simple tasks with a new interface. That said, Linux Mint wouldn't exist without Ubuntu, Ubuntu wouldn't exist without Debian, and it's very impressive to see Ubuntu in the ISS or on Mars. Congrats!
Somebody has to make more humans for the species' survival.
Darwinism is so 20th century (see http://www.imdb.com/title/tt03...). With climate change and peak oil, you might actually want to make less humans for the species' survival.
Thanks a lot for all the interesting points. My analysis was based on 2009 figures, and Denmark has shut down coal power plants since then and installed even more wind turbines. Good point for common heat & power comparison to the UK. Final thought : "half that of Singapore" is like saying that you're only "half as fat as Michael Moore". You're still fat;)
Denmark has a really good PR department. They can only afford to have so many wind turbines because they also have a lot of dirty coal power plants, and when they produce too much electricity, they sell it at a loss to Sweden and Norway (who have many hydro power plants). Denmark has a pretty bad CO2/kWh electricity footprint.
Interesting, thanks. Here's my modified version. I save my master password in ~/.master The advantage is that I get the same password everytime, only depending on the domain name.
If your password is "+cvcy9oTt", just send "-dt7vQprg" to the online password strength checker. PS: Talking about online password security : I used my usual password generator (pwdhash) with slashdot.org at first, without realising it would generate my account password. It's amazing how stupid I can be:D
My anti-GMO stance comes from the same experiment that has been repeated hundreds of time over more than 50 years : "Let Monsanto decide if they can help people and be the good guys, or screw people and the environment, and generally be huge assholes."
A friend of mine worked as a trader assistant at Société Générale before the shit hit the fan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Soci%C3%A9t%C3%A9_G%C3%A9n%C3%A9rale_trading_loss). Ten years ago, I was considering buying a small flat, and I asked him about the big nice flat he bought in Paris a few months before. I knew he had a much better salary than mine, but I just wanted to know which mortgage rate he got, and how long it would take him to pay the mortgage. He was kinda evasive. It took him a few beers to admit that he didn't need a mortgage, and that he just used a bit more than 2 years worth of bonuses to pay the flat with cash. He was 25, had been working for 2 years and had already paid a flat that would usually be paid in 15-20 years by a couple with decent salaries. Still, he complained that his both earned 10 times as much as he did.

Dear lazy web, any higher quality video out there?
Congrats SpaceX, this looks really impressive.
Shouldn't it be UK OR US law? Since no person is going to be under both jurisdictions at the same time?
Then it should be UK XOR US law.

Very informative, thanks.

For the most part? I'm 100% certain they all ended up dead. After all, it happened more than 200 years ago ;)

Thanks a lot for the answer. Sure, you can use HTML code.
I didn't succeed in writing "superscript two" for square meter, though.

Just a very small white-listed subset of UTF-8 would be fine. accents, USD, Euro, degree, square would cover 99% of my UTF-8 needs on slashdot.
I totally agree wi....
Oh!!!! Germany's next top model is on!
Sorry, what were you saying?
First : why do you need a wall clock to be *that* accurate?
Yup, I got 4.00171 for "HT" and 5.999467 for "HH" after a million iteration.
Fun stuff!
Numbers are numbers, they exist and have properties independently of their representation.
