You get the same problem in the UK with heavy fog. Sensible people know to switch their lights to dips. Stupid people seem to think turning the high beam on helps. But then they also drive with those on when there's oncoming traffic as well.
They've never been terribly high, from what I can tell. They're probably even lower now. It has a very small population too - the entire country fits in one phone book, iirc.
That being the magma they use to generate around 25% of their power requirements via geothermal energy. The majority of the other 75% comes from hydroelectric. Less than 1% of their power comes from fossil fuels. They also use the geothermal energy for heating the vast majority of buildings in Iceland.
The average temperature is also bellow 15C, afaicr, which makes cooling things a doddle.
All things considered, I wouldn't mind living there. If their economy wasn't fucked.
Except it doesn't change the fact that your Issue #1 is a first edition Issue #1 and theirs isn't, it should still hold value to other collectors. And collectors are the only people it had special value to anyway.
Leaving Tom Bombadil out wasn't really a problem; even Tolkien accepted that he added nothing to the story and didn't really fit with the rest of the setting, iirc. He's the character most frequently dropped in adaptations.
Dropping the Scourging of the Shire was a piss poor move though. It's not like they can claim it would make the film too long, given how long it was already.
They're talking about companies who run things like box carriers and the like, not couriers. A lot of ships have internet connections, via things like FleetBroadband from Inmarsat, so having an awareness of internet security, I would suggest, is actually pretty important.
They regularly take data sent to them via e-mail or direct internet connection and load it on to their ECDIS units (mostly that would be ENC updates or permit files). As to whether that's in some way exploitable, I couldn't say.
I still use my 5 year old PC; I just don't use it for gaming, I use my 3 year old one for that (although it's getting to the point where I start upgrading - I just upgraded the graphics card).
Because we join one of the IT and related fields unions, or at least that's what I did. Single area unions are getting rarer in the UK, the largest unions cover more than one field of work. Unite will cover pretty much anything (which is what I belong to).
Most of my friends' hanging out is organized via Facebook. Our job hours tend to mean online is organization is the most practical way of communicating. Especially when we're organizing Christmas get togethers involving friends who now live in other bits of the country, but are heading back to spend Christmas with parents.
Alas true. I only signed up for Facebook because my friends kept using it to organize events and generally getting together. E-Mail was apparently too complicated for them.
Which would mean users have to enter their details every time they buy something; whereas what a lot of people like is the fact that they can do it once and not have to do it again until they change. The fact that I can just go to Amazon, hit 1-Click on the item I want, and it then turns up tomorrow is why I tend to buy stuff from Amazon if I can.
They look at various sources of "news of the day" and produce an overall picture based on it. Historians are acutely aware of reporting bias in their primary, secondary, and tertiary sources. That's why you look for different perspectives and look for the common threads in them, in order to try and produce a balanced view. It's not always possible, but it's the goal.
There are very few professional historians around, because it's a very small market - you're basically limited to people who write books and people who teach history.
Like any degree you have to look at what transferable skills it demonstrates - in the case of history it generally shows an aptitude for analysing copious amounts of source data and making inferences, drawing conclusions, and being able to see how A leads to B leads to C. Off the top of my head I suspect intelligence analysts have a similar skill set.
I don't hate ours anyway. I love the fact that in this job, unlike my previous one, it's not my problem. I'm a developer - I don't want to have to care about networks not working properly, servers falling over or the phone system not functioning correctly. I love just being able to throw the problem at IT and someone there fixing it. I like just being able to do more core job.
The fact that our IT department are quite nice and don't actually go out of their way to stop us doing anything. There are IT policies, but they're quite sensible and not exactly tortuous.
One of my friends lived in Japan for over 15 years, is married to a Japanese woman and has two kids born in Japan. The chances of him getting Japanese citizenship are ~0.
It actually takes a while for them to take away your voting rights, or at least it used to. Some people have lived abroad for 15 years before it happened.
Clocks also use a specific frequency for doing so, it's 60 kHz for the UK ones and I think the German one is 77 kHz (it's called DCF77 anyway). They're not exactly local transmissions - you can pick them up nearly 2000km away, afaicr.
Unlike the 2.4 GHz band, those frequencies are reserved and licenced. 2.4 GHz is a free for all.

I can't imagine that linking Iceland to Canada would be hard, especially if it already has a link to Greenland.
Awesome. I'm happy to be wrong about that, partly because I wouldn't mind working there.

He did get appointed...

They were, in fact, written as children's books, afaicr.

The MST3K DVD boxsets used to come with flip discs, with the un-MST3K'd version on one side and the MST3K version on the other...
I remember that radio show. ;-)
I'm wondernig if that's better or worse than remembering the comic.

Well, it can demonstrate that a PM no longer has the support of the house, which comes to the same thing. Eventually.

Energy firms in the UK already report unusually high power usage to the police, as it's often a sign of someone running a canabis factory.
