When you want to run a DOS program, you use DOSBOX -- you don't install a FreeDOS partition. Likewise, it'll be much more practical to run Win32 in WINE.
And in Iran the religious leaders are appointed to the guardian council, which isn't technically the government, the government being the elected leadership of the parliament.
We have different sleeping hours from each other, and you can't personalize your electrical hours. Plus I'd certainly notice my computer having crashed and having to reset my clocks.
Exxon holds the record for highest profits ever by a US company. and profits over a hundred million dollars a day. You're seriously calling that smaller profit margins than most industries?
A few seconds of searching brings up this article saying "prehistoric small-scale agricultural societies had already caused widespread ecological change" and "Prehistoric people practiced deforestation to reorient their settlements and intensify corn production". The theory of it causing the little ice age is probably wrong, but Native American impact on the environment was significant and shouldn't be dismissed out of hand. Remember the arrival of Native Americans was a major extinction event as well.
Even the largest earthquakes damage only a small area, so it's very possible to be in the pacific northwest and still be nowhere near a fault line -- much like I live in California but there's never been a damaging earthquake in recorded history here.
Even if 100% of citizens bought self-driving cars it'd take quite a while for them to be 25% of cars on the road. A quick search says the average age of cars on the road in the USA is 11 years.
Your miles per year do matter quite a lot, because no car is going to last 70 years just because you don't drive it much. For example my car is under 60K miles, but it's a 1998 with rust issues and I doubt it'll live to 100K since I've been driving about 3K/yr lately. To get 200K miles out of a car before it dies of old age you have to do a ton of driving.
Unfortunately most people do believe in rewarding politicians who get us killed. If there's an existential threat to a country, people rally around their leaders and re-elect them in a fit of patriotism while denouncing anyone who criticizes the war as a traitor. When threatened, people want to unite instead of be smart and that's easy for a politician to exploit.
Many, many people commit crimes of passion in a moment of anger that involve no planning. Expecting a fuming mad person to pause to file markings off their gun before shooting is like expecting a wife beater to put on a mask and gloves so his wife won't know it's him beating her -- sure it'd be his best strategy to get away with it but people don't work that way.
We don't have to catch 100% of criminals in order for catching some criminals to be a good thing.
Actually, we have the world's largest economy and a populace that is by and large so affluent that *obesity* is our epidemic instead of starvation, and people think the sky is falling when they have to choose between netflix and starbucks. I'd rather see this money going to Mars science than to somebody's second SUV, and while it'd be nice to provide for the poor that money could more appropriately be taxed out of your home theater system or the like.

That's because they're usually making stupid changes to cut costs without understanding needs.
Iranians tried a revolution a couple years ago. It was violently suppressed. Let's see the USA try a revolt against modern military and police might.

All you have to do is cover everything in your home with tinfoil.

Well, it'd help if konqueror were actually maintained and didn't crash all the time.
Picasa and Google Earth weren't created by google (just acquired later), so can't blame them for those decisions.
There's no algebra in that, it's a simple arithmetic word problem.
Actually, tourism is a huge industry in Uganda: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism_in_Uganda
Some of us don't live in a constant state of paranoia.

When someone says "American Indian" how do you know they're not talking about an American who moved to India?

Yeah, it's clearly the aliens teaming up with the Illuminati to suppress linux graphics drivers.
Ever seen Los Angeles?
As soon as terrorists announce their plans to hijack the moon, America will return.
Oops, forgot to read the summary to see that it was in Finland. I've become too much of a typical /.er.
I think you mean Soviet Portland, Oregon.
