While they may destroy your house, you can typically evacuate ahead of a tornado, flood, hurricane, fire or even a tsunami and survive. If your house/cave collapses in a few seconds of an earthquake, however, you're dead.
No doubt saves time on renting an apartment or getting a loan too -- they can verify your income without a pile of bank statement and tax form printouts.
According to a quick check the martian atmosphere is about 95% CO2 while Earth's atmosphere is about 0.039% CO2, so despite the much thinner atmosphere on Mars it seems you could expect to find more CO2 in absolute terms.
If that were allowed, every sick person in history would've immediately had a monthly bill larger than their care costs... at which point it's not insurance anymore, it's just bills for your care plus extra useless bills when you're well. But that's not how it works, they can't arbitrarily personalize your price.
The only person whose positions I consider 100% non-evil is myself, and most people think the same way. Should I write in my own name for every office on the ballot every year, or should I make reasonable compromises to vote for people I agree with on more issues than I agree with the other candidates on?
According to American intelligence, Iran hasn't even decided yet if they're trying to build nukes. Given that they're being punished widely already for not yet building them, it makes far more sense to go ahead and build them and then use them to extract concessions for disarming in the same way North Korea continually does.

When Are You Dead?

There may always be the occasional error in anything. Is it acceptable to let ten thousand people die from lack of organ transplants in order to avoid each one case where someone not quite brain dead is accidentally killed? How about a million? Where do we draw that line?
The ability of the wealthy to afford large hard drives does not mean file sizes aren't an issue for other less fortunate people. My hard drive is 75 GB and most of that is taken with important stuff, as is my external drive, so there's not much room for music and compression matters quite a lot.
Reminds me of my first web host back in the 90s, crosswinds.net. Free unlimited storage and unlimited data transfer -- the only catch being you had to upload through a browser interface that required files to be less than a couple megabytes, took forever, crashed half the time... and then the site would be down for power outages every weekend. "Unlimited" is something I try to avoid.
Companies don't turn around that fast? What about all the banks (e.g. Goldman Sachs) that are posting record profits not long after being baled out? Do you think they're faked too?
2,857 gallons of gas in my '98 Ford that gets about 30 MPG is about 86,000 miles. If I continue driving as much as in the past, making no effort to conserve by driving less, then that should last me 28 years.
So, it appears that extreme drivers who do 10-20K per year and refuse to reduce that might benefit eventually benefit from electric when gas is $7/gallon. Unfortunately, those same drivers are the ones by far most likely to be doing the kind of long trips that electric isn't good for. As well, any of them who aren't wealthy will still have to cut back on driving and stay with gas instead. It looks like electric won't be economical for the average person for a long time to come. Hopefully there's enough money in selling it as toys for the rich to develop some breakthrough that'll make it practical for the masses.
Are you really any more likely to benefit from patches with a GPL project? There's no requirement that users contribute their patches back to you even if they're using their derivative publicly. In theory if you track them down you'll be able to download their project and run file comparisons to copy their patches back into your version, but what are the odds you'll be aware of every product which is based on your product? All they have to do is make their product available under the GPL, not publicize whose GPL code they're using.
Your honest opinion is as good as genocide. Without food, the people will starve to death and the regime will not change anyway. That's an established fact based on previous famines. Perhaps after the majority of the country has died in famine the regime would collapse, but killing tens of millions of innocent people in order to bring down a regime you don't like is not acceptable to any decent human being. North Korea may kill a few people from time to time, but that doesn't justify wholesale slaughter of their people via sanctions combined with the withholding of food aid (remember that our sanctions and international pressure help create the famine, it's not as if we're uninvolved).
As long as you don't mind a 50% failure rate and being dead when you land even if you're one of the successes, the current aerobreaking+airbags is fine. Humans just don't bounce that well.
Yahoo was simply easily extorted. They knew the guy had hacked them, they knew he could do it again and do real damage the next time if they angered him, so they bought him off. Asking for money from a company *after* you've hacked them is extortion plain and simple, there's an implied threat as you've demonstrated your power over them even if you've selected not to abuse it this time.

Google can always change your password and provide the FBI with the new one. No need to store plaintext.
Google pulled out of China and redirected to Hong Kong because of said Chinese censorship requests.
Unfortunately Mississippi lacks the educated skilled labor of even China.
Let's just touch the left ear, and call it tactile aura-reading which can pick up the ill-intent of terrorists.

$25 is more than enough reason for me.

Ah, so you're the guy this is about. Stop whining and get back to your luxuries while the rest of us make a tiny fraction of your salary.

Nobody's making you sign a contract. I pay around $3 a month and enjoy my smartphone, only using wifi for data. Still quite useful.

Difference is, 60+ people know their reaction time is worse and drive slow. Drunk people are idiots who'll just drive faster.
What keeps them from doing it again is the fact that their evidence isn't admissible in court when they do.
You apparently opted to live nowhere near your work. Gas is cheap if you're not driving an unreasonable amount.
