The power from old Russian nukes we use today does not offset the loss of energy we still suffer from as a result of the Cold War-era tapping of our precious bodily fluids!
It's a bad practice, but encyclopedias and dictionaries have been doing for years. See Lillian Virginia Mountweasel, the fountain designer/photographer who overcame non-existence to be featured in the 1975 New Columbia Encyclopedia as an anti-piracy measure.
This is an attempt by sociologists to build up their status by sabotaging the real sciences.
Seriously, if a country doesn't value a sector monetarily, it will suffer. The United States has long underpaid its academics and is now reaping the rewards, or lack thereof.
NASA designed one of those, too. It was called Orion; it never got built. It might be interesting if the Russians actually DO something with this design.
I recently had the opportunity to speak to the vice-president of a major academic institution. He told me that, in his opinion, paper in general was on the way out.
I hope not. Paper content, despite its faults, can be trusted not to disappear with the flick of a digital switch. It is relatively durable, lasting for hundreds of years. And it is accessible; if it's on paper, you don't have to unencrypt it or have the right software or hardware to access it. If print newspapers die, it will be a disservice not only to us in the present, but for our descendants who might wish to study the way we were.
We're starting to see the benefits of global warming. Warmer winters, better trade routes, less polar bears to eat our children; things can only get better the warmer it gets!
Before the watch-futures market collapses, remember that time won't actually end. We'll get half-way to the cut-off date in September, then half-way from there, and so on, and so on . . .
But it does mean that Norway was at least willing to let foreign intelligence organizations regularly use its facilities without any sort of explanation; criminal negligence at the least.
Don't forget that Europe is complicit in many of the crimes of the current American regime. According to intelligence reports commission by the European Parliament, European countries cooperated fully in the American practice of extraordinary rendition and the maintenance of CIA secret prisons. And even if Europe wasn't in lockstep with the United States, European individuals have no grounds to look up their noses at individual Americans, any more than one is justified in attempting to discount the arguments of an Iranian individual based on his nationality!

90% of nuclear bomb material that's been converted comes from Russian bombs. Read PAST the first sentence. :-)

Oh, no! No if my uncle gets in a car accident, I get my rates upped by my insurance. Thanks a lot, UC Irvine!

Not offtopic! The safety of voting machines from viruses has everything to do with virus suffrage.
Someday soon, viruses will become intelligent enough to have their own voter suffrage movement. This is how modern democracy will end.
Do they call it 'three strikes' in Britain? They don't play baseball, and cricket has different rules in this respect.

In this Der Spiegel article, Norway is mentioned as a regular stopover point for rendition flights. http://www.spiegel.de/international/0,1518,388805, 00.html
You're just helping us torture innocents, violate privacy rights, etc. I can see the distinction, but I'm not impressed.
