I'm not even sure where to start with this one. I... guess I'd probably recommend working on your sense of humour before you worry about brushing up on your English comprehension skills.
I'm guessing that you're either being silly or haven't taken your medication, but since there are no stupid questions and lots of other people are probably wondering about this, the second link points out that the increase in gravity isn't all that much: "For example, a planet with 5 times Earth’s mass but twice the radius would have a surface gravity only 20% higher than Earth; if you weighed 150 pounds here you’d weigh 180 pounds there."
That being said, there's always the anthropic principle to consider. It's possible there's something about planets with gravity that differs more than a few percent from ours screws up chemical evolution. Not likely, but not yet possible to rule out.
This is all in ignorance of any knowledge of whether or not these planets are in the habitable zone (hey; I've got classes tomorrow, I don't have that much time to RTFA.)
That's probably because everyone else on the entire internet has already proposed. I think it's bad luck to try the same pickup line twice on the same woman.
...while it's flattering, I don't think my girlfriend would be too happy.
The server hits you with its internal schema!
You cast SELECT * FROM ut_f81 INNER JOIN ut_f81 alt_ut_f81 ON alt_ut_f81.globalid = ut_f81.rrn / 2 WHERE (SELECT * FROM ut_f81 INNER JOIN ut_f81 alt_ut_f812 ON alt_ut_f812.globalid = alt_ut_f81.rrn / 2 WHERE (SELECT * FROM ut_f81 INNER JOIN ut_f81 alt_ut_f813 ON alt_ut_f813.globalid = ut_f81.rrn / 2 WHERE (SELECT 1 FROM ut_f81) = 1) = 1) = 1

Of course, what you're talking about, unfortunately, is purchasing dozens of huge, expensive arcade cabinets for the purpose of copying their data into a single arcade cabinet. At which point you might as well keep the original, authentic cabinets.
Fortunately, the hardware hacking community has worked toward making the name its own again, ensuring that the concept of a hacker as a knowledgeable, creative person who works with complex computer technology at least somewhat lurks in the minds of the educated public.
Just a pedant's note: looking in SysWOW64 shouldn't occur to you at all. Despite the name, it's the 32-bit version of the 64-bit files, which actually live in the awkwardly-named system32. When a 32-bit program runs, SysWOW64 is mapped onto system32, just like Program Files (x86) is mapped onto Program Files, and parts of the registry are remapped (although I don't have the exact key name on hand, it's something like [HKCU|HKLM]\software\wow64node).
My name is Inigo Montoya von Totengrammatik. You said "irregardless." Prepare to die.
But besides that, there's something more than the cost of the infrastructure that needs to be considered: the fact that the infrastructure is already in place. Governments tend to like hiding the list of censored sites, and invariably it seems they are prone to overstepping, secretly using the blacklist to a remarkable range of corrupt ends. At least Korea had this free speech advocate standing in the way.
I would doubt that, honestly. Cancer research gets a staggering amount of money compared to other areas of biological and medical research, and when cancer-derived study-samples are used, they're typically identified by a more specific name, such as "HeLa". Those cell lines are so well-established that researchers don't need to mention more specific names.
Incidentally, modified HIV is often used in human genetic engineering, and you don't hear much about that, either, because the paper authors refer to the modified culture and assume it'll be recognizable (or researchable) to the target audience.
I think it comes down to this: your position is that "we're harming the life and destroying something precious, and that's bad for us," and my position is that "yes, we're harming ourselves in the process, but the effects on the planet are more important." Like many biologists, I'll sleep better at night once we can pull ourselves off the planet and leave it to its business, and the thought of the human species going away is not quite as heartbreaking.
Biology and medical research use the same tools these days, but Crichton went to medical school in the sixties, when our knowledge of both genetics and our impact on the environment was extremely limited. I don't disagree with the sentiment of the quote itself, but it's a little like quoting Bill Gates on child-rearing.
They come in all measures of quality. I've got a Kindle, too, but I've played with some others. Many you'd rather forget; basically, anything cheaper than a Kindle is destined for tragedy, excepting perhaps the Kobo. The fancier Nooks, however, tend to get a lot of love.
But think of how much, um... shelf space it sav–no, I guess not. Um... hmm.
Yup. Good use of time, this. Maybe it was for the schadenfreude of forcing the consoles, well-established mortal enemies, to share the same body? I'm pretty sure that's a staple of vaguely sciency/magical Saturday morning cartoons.
On the plus side, most of the research into prolonging erections has already been done. Apparently there's a sweet spot for ideal duration. So at least we don't have to worry about that.

Well... that depends. Do you consider either of those cases to be "life"?
I wouldn't recommend it. The GP uses logical punctuation, which is considered heresy in some circles.
No. For the reality TV. Do you know how many intergalactic civilizations it's decimated? Terrae delenda est.

Do you want your possessions identified?

As will your children. And possibly your grandchildren.
What are you, some kind of hippie RTFAing weirdo?
I'm not sure if that counts as a scene by most standards.

Nebraska Man was debunked in 1927. What was the name of the museum, so we can avoid it or its de facto successor?
Turn the first "of" into an "is". Don't they have Markov chain bots where you're from?
Time comes where a loop be.
Agreed. Continuing this adventure into off-topicness, it really should just be black and white.

Oh yes. And cancer gets 2,546,172 hits. Still not the greatest use of our civilisation's resources. Third world, space travel, et cetera.

That's a negative, Red Leader. While you get more adipocytes when you gain weight, you keep them after you lose it. Get back on the treadmill!
