Which is typically one of the first groups to target when you try to limit free speech. If your journalists only report what you want, the masses will know what you want them to know, think how you want them to think and will express nothing you don't want them to express. Noone will speak out in public if they don't know what's happening and the oddball that does manage to find out what happens is very easily contained. The fact that you so easily dismiss this is quite troublesome. You have been so brainwashed by the idea that the USA if the protector of freedom of speech that you cannot even see the obvious fact that if the US of A was anything like a bastion of free speech it claims to be it would be on the #1 spot in that list.
Nope, it stands for National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The atmospheric research is handled by NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration).
At least 2 have occured but have gone unnoticed at the time: The Cas A supernova remnant is about 350 years old, discovered as a radio source in 1947 and supernova remnant G1.9+0.3 which is less than 150 years old but only discovered using radio telescopes in 1984.
Read the article before you link to it. Inciting riots there would get you arrested just as fast. "Contrary to popular belief, there is no immunity from the law, nor are any subjects proscribed, but in practice the police tend to be tolerant and therefore intervene only when they receive a complaint or if they hear profanity."
The set back is indeed limited: The field is not completly lost and the scientists involved have stated the trial will continue. In addition the Flemish goverment committed another 250.000 Euro to further fund the project. The reason this is a bad day for science is that a very small group tried and almost succeeded in destroying scientific research. The immediate consequence is that it just became a lot more expensive to carry out this kind of research (now added security must be budgeted as well) and money is diverted away from research and future projects may be canceled entirely because of this. A small group of fundamentalists destroying the ability to do research is a very bad day for science indeed.
The irony is that this research was publicly funded and carried out by the University of Ghent especially to keep this kind of knowledge from being monopolized and patented by Monsanto & co.
One of the activists claimed during an interview that GMO's are bad because there are no field tests. So they tried to destroy this field test. That's how fucked up they are...
For visual observing there's little point in going above 2000m a.s.l. unless you are properly adapted to working at high altitude (or live there). The drop in oxygen saturation reduces your visual acuity. Some 'hard core' observers do take oxygen with them on observing trips at high altitude. For (professional) photographic work (CCD), especially IR, the higher the better... The challenge then becomes building the observatory and getting your staff there.
It would make more sense if IE6 is the smallpox infected blanket in the analogy... Like: this gate can automatically destroy smallpox infected blankets which malicious people try to carry into your village, but it is not enabled by default.
Your pricing is way outdated. Pricing here in Belgium runs from 3 to 5 Euros per Watt peak installed including inverter. The pricing is mostly depending on the type of panels (cheap Chinese or high efficiency panels) and contractor. I just looked into it, these are actual values of offerings for household installations of 3 kW. This price is actually inflated by heavy subsidies (tax benefits and green power certificates for 20 years of 330 euros per MWh produced) driving up demand massively.
So was the Bell X-1 designed to through the sound barrier, the Vostok 1 to enter Earth orbit, Apollo 11 designed to land on the Moon,... and all were celebrated as achievements when they actually did it. Until now the LHC was the most powerful accelerator on paper, now it is the most powerful accelerator. It is news (for nerds), live with it.
Or you could go for the more interesting stuff... The microscope, telescope, submarine and airplane were invented in the last 500 years and they all allow you to see worlds noone could imagine 500 years ago. Travelling beyond your own county and the local market was pretty rare as well (unless you were either important or unlucky).
At the time the earthquakes hit Alaska (9.2, 1964) was basicly empty and it still is (the biggest hit town, Anchorage, had a whopping +-45k population), Chile (9.5, 1960) was not much better (the more recent quakes was a 8.8 and thus not bigger), Kamchatka (9.0, 1952) was also empty and still is and Sumatra (9.1, 2004) is not empty but not heavily industrialised, you didn't see any skyscrapers, high speed railways or nuclear plants in the hit area there. Indonesia may have been developed quite a bit, but Jakarta is a long way from the West coast of Sumatra. You really cannot compare any of these area to Japan.
The plant is protected by a 6m tsunami wall, which was obviously not high enough to stop this one. This wall is probably still standing, the water simply washed over it. The tsunami that occured there was a once in a thousand year event. Aftershocks are unlikely to produce large tsunamis and a second large 'primary' shock is very unlikely. An adjacent segment of the plate boundary might rupture, which would mean bad news for Tokio but would probably not cause a direct hit to the Fukushima area.
Japanese engineers are not idiots. If they expected tsunamis like this to hit that area every 50 years they would have either protected the plant better or not built it there at all.
It's just a habit. I live in Europe but I use the yyyy/mm/dd for my photography collection exactly because it is always sorted correctly. As a result I read yyyy/mm/dd just as easily as dd/mm/yyyy, I only get confused with people use the irritating mm/dd/yyyy or some other variant.
Just because you're not used to it doesn't mean it isn't "human readable".
One step in magnitude means a factor 10 increase in ground displacement. In energy this is about a factor 30 per magnitude. A 7.0 packs about 900 times less energy than a 9.0. The new earthquake has already been revised to 7.1.
It has been April 1st for quite a while in Russia by now. All of it is in GMT +x time zones... Fiji as well. You're looking for Alaska, Hawaii, the Aleutian Islands, Samoa or so.
And the irony is that while taxis are a 'public place' (according to SABAM), cities like Brussels forbid taxi drivers to turn on the radio when a customer is present.
Indeed, I bought my motherboard 6 months ago and USB3 seemed to be on a fair chare of the boards, but by no means all of them. I picked one with USB3, but it was only a minor factor. I just bought 2 USB3 HD enclosures and am very happy with the boost in speed.

No, that's what the TSA agent does when you opt for the 'pat down'.

Those workers probably didn't decide to put the snowflakes there. Please aim your death wishes at the people responsible.

So you move the embryos/foetuses to another uterus every month? I don't think you grasped either pregancy or pipelines completly...

Not 7.5 kg/s on every square meter of the planet but 7.5 kg/s spread out over the entire planet.

Make a car-trip to some of the rather impressive open pit mines for brown coal you have in Germany and see where the electricity is coming from.

I can't believe I had to read this far down before anyone mentioned this. It made go all alarm bells go off the moment I read it.

That'll teach them to wait until 'Backup Day' to make them...
If you need to restore the world, you would probably need an off-site back-up... Time to get the Moon or Mars settling started.
