While an 8.9 earth quake might have been one of the strongest ever measured, I'd think that this would be something to design for in a country like Japan, where it was likely to happen at some time. As far as I know, the reactors were designed to a maximum force of 7.9, and in the high risk areas to 8.2. One has to remember that 8.9 releases about 30 times more energy than a 7.9 earth quake though.
So if you look at coal and include the numbers for mining and radiation induced cancer around the coal plants, from where exactly do you think all the uranium comes? So the number on the nuclear side is definitely not zero, and Chernobyl was not the only accident (I am thinking Majak, with unknown numbers of people harmed, small spilages all over the world etc.). Still, coal is probably worse in deaths/MWh or whatever measurement you want to use, but your numbers for nuclear are not correct, although the US is pretty good in outsourcing the negative effects of it to Niger or other countries.
I have much more trouble (and have been burnt by) the reply-to munging on some e-mail lists. What it does is rewrite the Reply-to to the mailing list address instead of the original sender, so that people with semi-broken clients without reply-to-list feature can just hit reply-to instead of having to type in the address of the mailing list on a reply.
Please stop doing this. Hitting reply-all on old emails destroys threading on pretty much all clients that support it. Your email client might have an address book and groups as an alternative.
And suspending them for a few days is all good and well, although a parent-teacher conference was really intimidating for me back then, and frightened me enough. Point is: When you are 12, do you really necessarily know what a pedophile is and that is not just another name you can call someone to piss him off?
Even more so for infiltrating a group, which at worst seems to have done some non-violent direct action. I do not really see this as a threat at all, more akin to civil disobedience.
The Atrix looked exactly like what I needed, especially with the netbook like dock. But if they are so intent on not getting my money, then they won't. I was already doubting my decision, because I would like the Android version after the current one, and now the risk is just too great for not getting it.
Problem with this is that it only holds true for herbivores. Carnivores take a much worse ratio of weight gained to food. I think salmon and tuna are both worse than 7 to 1. Sadly, those are the fish people like most. But it will most likely make up a part of future diets. We will have to balance it somehow anyway.
Twitter has known about this for >3 weeks, but they were forbidden to tell the affected persons about it. It seems like to they had to go to court just to give them this information. News like this just makes me sad about the state of liberties in the USA.
Your summary seems correct. But he defeated another security measure through the zip file.
Normally, only updates with a specific signature are installed. But as the updates are.msi-files packed in a zip, and the zip is unpacked without verification, one can use the zip with relative paths to install other software in the AusweisApp's context.
So with current die-sizes of about 146mm^2, assuming it's really square, we have a maximum length of about 1.7cm. Sounds like we can go up to 9Ghz, at least if we are just using the speed of light in vacuum.
You can certainly argue the other way, too. Having cheap transportation causes lots of goods to be transported over way too long distances, because it is somewhat cheaper to transport than manufacture in the vicinity. As soon as the transportation costs go up, this will no longer be the case and locally made goods will be preferable, so the transportation cost only makes up a smaller part of the picture. Prices will go up anyway, but not in the order of 50%. And all you are really doing anyway is exposing costs normally just being loaded on everyone through pollution etc.
As to learning languages, I would go about it as I go about learning any new language. I read the first few pages of some manual for it (which you really can just read if it's not your first language), and then start some kind of project. Also, try to read code by renowned programmers, as they oven write great code and you can pick up one or two things from them.
The problem is that usually people who earn above a certain sum, DON'T spend all the money they earn. They just start accumulating, because they have so much they don't need to spend it all (as opposed to low wage workers). Therefore, no circulation of the saved money, and the whole theory goes down the drain.
Ok, not having RTFA, I really don't see the point in taking down a working website, which I didn't even know how to reach without typing in the URL directly, because you are working on a new version?
And wasn't Dell once all about configurability? Now they try to dumb down the configuration options. Seems to be like they are messing with their original core business model.
I have to correct you on this. A team of research divers managed to go to about 500m. 300m is the record for private divers, who fund the efforts themselves or through sponsors.
You would not be crushed. Your body largely consists of fluids, which are hardly compressible. All your gas-filled orifices and holes are connected to your breathing tract, so that, using some form of compressed air, you can counter balance the pressure. What is more of a problem is the narcosis all gases cause. With normal compressed air, the effects start at about 30m of water column. At about 65m, you get to a depth where compressed air contains so much oxygen that it gets lethal. So deep divers use different mixes for going down, when they are at depth and for decompression. Very deep dives have only limited amounts of oxygen, which would kill one at normal pressure due to hypoxy. There were experiments in pressure chambers, where all nitrogen was replaced by hydrogen, and one "diver" managed to go to 700m (>2000ft), but because of the decompression phase, the whole dive took >45 days to complete. This depth is also assumed the theoretical limit for current gases, although the deepest water dive was (only) to about 500m.
Well, after a school day lasting from the morning after breakfast till 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the some homework, there really is not much space for doing something else. That was my experience in my one year high school in the US, at least. And then, if you are doing some kind of school sport, it's 2 - 3 hours more at school, Monday through Friday...

Wow, don't know how one, in this day and age can ask such a question about wind power. Usually energy payback time is about half a year, normally much less than one year.
Google for "life cycle assessment" and "payback time".

Maybe I need sarcasm-tags, but seriously? Please look at the age of the children and think again about your comment.

Hey, nothing against Ryan Air. At least they are thinking about offering free blow jobs on long haul flights. :P

(Even funnier when the German translator admits that there is no German word/noun for blow job)

Except, you know, never, because by default you can also use ctrl+c to enter command mode. Although this is not widely known
There are somewhat more recent graphs at arewefastyet.com, although only up to Nov 4th.

As sad as it is, recent tech does do something like this. Just check out this chair (I think it was discussed on slashdot, too).

As some have already suggested, the languages you know are still in use today. Just remember the news about California's COBOL-system http://www.infoworld.com/d/developer-world/californias-cobol-conundrum-067
As to learning languages, I would go about it as I go about learning any new language. I read the first few pages of some manual for it (which you really can just read if it's not your first language), and then start some kind of project.

And in DIR terminology (DIR= Doing it right = a very strict diving system), "noobs" are refered to as strokes.
