No, the wild west was open carry. Open carry seems provocative. The primary point of most states' concealed carry laws is that your gun must remain concealed at all times. Flashing or suggesting you carry can cost your license, and is assault if it can be construed as a threat - which is an automatic 10 year sentence in some states.
The best part of concealed carry is herd immunity - you can benefit from other's carrying and the deterrent effect that has. It's no coincidence that all but one mass shooting in the past few decades happened in a "gun free zone" of some sort (and the one exception was likely a political assassination with collateral damage, not a random shooting).
Gravity is very weak, and plays no part in the interaction between individual particles. The electric force is roughly 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times as strong as the force of gravity. On the scale of the mass of a star, sure, dust begins to clump, with most of it settling to the center, but two motes of dust? Unless they are charged, or actually collide, they'll have no effect on one another if they pass nearby.
It may be easier to think in terms of the dust (or dark matter) near a forming star, so you already have a big lump in the middle. Each mote of dust or particle of dark matter will independently orbit that center unless something happens to cause it to lose energy - an inelastic collision.
If by "those armed groups" you mean "the new government", then no, I'm not forgetting. The largest, most organized group wins fights. If that group isn't lead by the old government (and it most likely would be), then it would swiftly become the new government, as no one likes being shot back at. That's where most governments come from, after all.
The gravitational force between them acts as a perfect friction.... The gravitational force of the earth will still be tugging on it, effectively slowing it down.
For a cloud of particles moving in arbitrary directions around a common center of mass to become a disk rotating with the net angular momentum of the system, something inelastic must happen. If there are no collisions, or perfectly elastic collisions, you'll continue to have a cloud of particles moving in arbitrary directions forever - the system isn't going to spontaneously self-organize.
With normal matter, collisions between particles change the kinetic energy of the particles into light, so over time the total kinetic energy of the system keeps falling until everything's moving more-or-less together in a single plane, and collisions become rare and low-energy.
The only thing we really know about dark matter is: it doesn't do that. "Flat" galaxies are flat only for normal matter, but still have a spherical distribution of dark matter. That's how we knew early on that there wasn't just more normal matter than expected in these galaxies - the distribution would be wrong for the observed rotation.
No, really, that's not your mission in life (or does the AGW church have actual missionaries now, pledged to spread the Good Word in Fern Parts for a year?). The wise man knows wisdom when he hears it, and there's no persuading the fool.
Airflow is still important. Everyone to the S and E will be covered in a multi-foot layer of ash. I believe it would be hundreds of meters deep near Yellowstone, and still meters deep along the coast. That's a long-term problem.
California and the far NE are the best bets for immediate survival, and Cali probably has more experience with hydroponics, as growing plants indoors is a somewhat common hobby there compared to Maine.
We'd certainly survive as a species, but not very many of us - the combination of hydroponics and nuclear power plants that survived the initial event would ensure a technological base, plus I suspect some subsistence farming would still be possible in a few parts of the world, if we lived long enough to find the right low-light crops.
No, that only happens with friction, or some other inelastic collision mechanism. If dark matter particles are free to pass through one another, or have perfectly elastic collisions, then there is no mechanism to force them into the same plane of rotation as happens with normal matter.
The energy and momentum of particles' motion orthogonal to the plane has to go somewhere to get a disk or ring. For normal matter, the energy gets radiated away as heat (or shorter wavelengths for particularly energetic collisions), but radiating away energy is precisely what dark matter doesn't do!

I only programmed in Python for about 6 months professionally, but I want to echo the experience. Python blows goats for large projects, for all the reasons mentioned above. Python is awesome for writing small projects (say, a programmer-year or smaller) in a way that's real, maintainable code and not a throw-away script.
Ultimately, I don't think you can have a language that good for both small and large projects. Large projects need structure that just gets in the way for smaller efforts.
Also, I have to agree with the:list comprehension" thing - all modern languages eliminate boilerplate for-loops for list processing (except Java - man I hate Java - but maybe it's better in Java 8?). Even C++11 now has good enough lambda support to get rid of the for loops for containers. Heck, I think even VB got the LINQ extensions that C# did to allow proper list processing.
C'mon, don't reinvent the wheel here. The theory of Intelligent Falling is the go-to parody, and is well-known enough to have a Wikipedia page. You might also find last-Thursdayism amusing.
A ring doesn't make any sense at all given existing ideas about dark matter. Rings and disks form as a result of friction gradually eliminating all rotation except along a single, common axis. Friction is exactly the sort of thing that makes matter non-dark. Where would a ring come from?
Wow you hit so many checkboxes on the "crank science" checklist in such a short post. Are universities suppressing this truth because it threatens the establishment? Did it spring from areas of Einstein's research that he feared to publish once he understood the implications? C'mon, with a bit more effort you can get a perfect score.
Well, humans can't really evolve anyhow - that's not how it works. Some new species, somewhat close to humans, may oneday replace us. But I don't think that's relevant going forward.
Humans must progress now via "spiritual" or cultural evolution. We're so good at adapting our environment to us that any need to adapt as a species has gone, but we have a long way to go in terms of cultural values and personal ways of thinking.
The simple reason is that the people who fund the research feel there is more profit in treating cancer than there ever would be in curing it.
People will believe anything as long as they can blame The Man. There's likely more profit in the ability to extend the life of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett than in any other single product - especially since it wouldn't just be for them.
Well, it all comes down to: are your trying to stop it from happening in the first place (in which case it's a broad spectrum of causes), or to cure it after the fact (in which case they all have the same mechanism). Which way you see it likely depends on which part of the problem you're concerned with.
Oh, and "fan death" - no discussion of "wacky shit people really believe" is complete without fan death.
Electric fans sold in South Korea are equipped with a "timer knob" switch that turns them off after a set number of minutes. This is perceived as a life-saving function, particularly essential for bedtime use.
The are "many people" who believe in every kind of magical-thinking anti-science BS, from "EM waves bad" to "GMO bad" to "creation science". The fact that many people will believe any kind of stupid nonsense you can spout doesn't exactly give it credibility.
To what? People are a resource, not a cost. What problem are you trying to solve? Do you actually believe there's anywhere on Earth that starvation is the result of overpopulation, not local politics?
I agree, but I'm pretty sure that slave labor is the point of the system. Being forced by the government to work below market wage for the benefit of well-connected business owners goes hand-in-hand with totalitarian government.

Oh, it's the modern religion, have no doubt. Doesn't mean they're wrong about everything though - the answers in life are never so easy.

Only in the video game does "halo" mean "ring". :)
