I could google all those terms and try to make sense of the story, but the first page is filled with entries related to TFS or TFA. I'd rather complain about it in the comments!:)
"Safe and effective". Not quite. I'm much less against nukes than against coal power plants, but we don't solve problems by ignoring them. Areva (French nuke company) sends shitloads of waste to Russia, supposedly for "recycling". Russia doesn't do anything except dumping 90% to open fields and sending 10% back. One independent scientist from CRIIRAD (http://www.criirad.org/) went there to investigate. His words as he drove into the region and looked at his sensors : "Let's get the fuck outta here, NOW".
I totally agree that nuclear power kills far less than conventional nukes, but it's just wrong to consider that every nuke-related problem has been solved.
In Germany, I have to pay 210€/year (270USD) for way too many channels and way too much advertising. I don't own a TV set, I don't want one, but I still have to pay. From the few shows that I've seen, the quality is nowhere near BBC's. The GEZ gets billions of € per year, and they're not even required to explain what they do with it. For 210€/year, I could support many websites or newspapers.
It all depends on how you define "#1". Given that the atmosphere doesn't really care if it's still 2012 or already 2013 or how many people it took to release those GTons of CO2, I'm pretty sure the US is the #1 greenhouse gas emitter. Not per capita, not per year, just overall : http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2011/apr/21/countries-responsible-climate-change USA : 28.8% China: 9% Russia: 8%
By natively, I meant "where I feel at home".:) I realize it's a totally subjective thing to say, and that some apps really are native.
cmd+Putty+WinVIM+TortoiseGIT+Pageant+Ruby work pretty well on WinXP/Win7 but they just feel like late add-ons to me, and don't integrate very well with the environment. On the contrary, yakuake-like terminal+console tabs+vim+zsh+ruby+git+ssh just feel right at home on my Linux/MAC OS X setup.
Well, the number of particles in the observable universe is finite. So everything that is included in this universe is also finite, and everything I know and can imagine in our universe is pretty much finite.
I've got no problem with the "hard to learn, easy and fast to use" philosophy of Blender. It's basically the same with Emacs/Vim. You want an "easy to learn, not so powerful and not so easy to do advanced stuff"? Use Sketchup and Notepad.
I totally agree, and I loved my customized KDE 3.5. But right now, with a job and a kid, I'm just not going to invest countless hours (days?) trying to make sense of every menu entry in KDE 4.x.
Whatever Shuttleworth does now, however shitty Unity is right now, I'll always remember my amazement in winter 2005 when I first tried Hoary Live CD. That was the first Linux i tried where sound/network worked out of the box. This guy invested millions in this cool project, and I had a blast using Ubuntu Desktop/Server/JeOS during many years. Linux Mint wouldn't be exist without Ubuntu.
I agree with your numbers. But factor 4 would be the lowest bound of unfairness. It's probably much bigger, since votes in swing-states account for something while votes in other states are basically nil.

No, finite resources do.

1. Get $1.3 billion for TMT
2. Deliver Two Meter Telescope
3. Profit!
How does it compare to PirateBay?

"Whom" sounds cool, let's use it everywhere! :D
It might be a good idea to use a consistent vocabulary to describe uncertainty in the title and the summary.
Fingers and chopsticks that "go where no device has gone before.". :D
No, thank you

PROTIP: It isn't a "very special case" to get 3 coplanar bodies.

What exactly isn't downright creepy in those Google Glasses?

GP was totally correct.
Thanks for your explanation.

Wow, instinctively, I'd never have though that 7! is already > 5000.
I just had 4!=24 in mind, and forgot the power of !.
I bought a Mac in 2009 because it was (and still is) the only platform where I can use Photoshop/Lightroom/Steam/vim/ssh/git/ruby natively.

THAT.
As with meat, buying quality stuff is expensive, so just eat less of it!
We already eat way too much sugar and meat anyway.
