And what if some competitor of Wikipedia comes in. What if they believe that Wikipedia has some huge bias and are spreading propaganda, and all they want to do is set teh record straight.
There is one, but fortunately it has not spread beyond the USA yet.
No - it's not even a question. Bury the lines and you will remove a large number of causes for power outages.
Even more important - realize that each outage costs money for the community. In the long run buried lines will save money - even if you are in an area where the ground is filled with rocks.
And what if the place you live in has a lot of trees? There are some talks in my city about burying the electric grid in the expanded city center; one of the reasons for that is that we have lots of trees whose branches intertwine with the cables. However, most trees have as extensive roots as branches, so I think burying the grid would make things worse.
I second you, but think he needs a grammar book, too. I could spot so many mistakes I couldn't keep reading, and English is not even my first language!
In laymen's terms, dark matter is a value that scientists infer from some calculations that albeit all of them correct cannot fit together. Then some scientists calculated the difference and called it dark matter, where 'dark' is a fancy word for 'nobody knows what it is'.
To understand the things in the Case Western theory, which is not dark matter, consider that atoms are more than 99% vacuum, while the objects in that theory are mostly matter, not atoms. As such, they account for a large amount of matter, while not being big enough to be detectable by our astronomical instruments.
They may react to photons, but most of the objects we are capable of observe in far space are really, relly huge and they are not.
I don't think that this may fool the health workers, many of whom may remember the polio vaccine as "dead poliovirus that is proved to make you immune to live polio".
Among those who are not in the health industry, "hopefully dead Ebola virus that we think might make you immune to live Ebola" is almost indistinguishable from "we think that dead Ebola virus might hopefully make you immune to live Ebola," which will be enough to make people feel deceived if they believe to have had the real shot, while having got only a placebo
Having procreative sex is one of the most carbon expensive things we can do.
I think the OP was talking about recreative sex. B-)
Another conclusion you can draw from this article is that everyone could live very well if we would pare down the population to 2 billion.
I have to take some research to be sure, but I think that is roughly the population with access to a shelter, clean water, sanitation, health care, internet, social security...
...
Instead, we'll probably breed right up to the edge of capacity and then die in billions when something unexpected happens.
Tragic.
Perhaps, it will be a very expected thing that will happen, I mean, if that is not already happening. The main cause of conflicts in Middle East is environmental resources, like land, water, oil.
Still, I also think they are ignoring fusion and solar.
Of course, they are ignoring fusion!:P
But... adding heat energy to the planet at the rate it's been growing since the 1600's will also result in a planet with a temperature equal to boiling water in 500 years. I'm not talking about global warming- just the amount of energy used and released that has to be radiated off into space.
(This latter part I'm just quoting because it's too insightful to be left out.)
Too big muscles slow your moves. Compare Bruce Lee with Schwarzenegger. The latter is pure muscle, while Lee is... kung fu. Was Bruce alive, you would less likely survive a punch from him than a punch from Arnold.
Without encryption, PEDOPHILES will be able to access CHILDREN'S DATA!
Remember, also those bast**ds will be able to USE the same BACKDOORS the law enforcement agencies intend to use.
Doesn't he know that the imperial measures are defined in metric? Like 1 *F=5/9 k?
By the way, I suggest that/. should require all temp measurements to be stated in kelvin, since it doesn't accept the 'degree' symbol.
It's interesting that the politicians that *I* would describe as "liberal Democrats" are now the authoritarians.
It's happening everywhere, unfortunately. In my country there are even Social Democrats who stand for the night-watch state rather than the well-fare state.
Tibet is strategically important to China, and I don't foresee them just giving it up because some hippies are holding protests. Tibet holds a huge supply of freshwater that flows into China.
Natural resources and freshwater, y'say? Thank you, I didn't know about that.
[William Kamela] later explained that about 60% of Microsoft's workforce is in the U.S., yet it makes 68% of its profits overseas
Those figures don't compare well, at least not to justify moving Microsoft out of US. The US is one country versus about 200 others; the latters' population is more than 200 times that of the US.
The only conclusion I can make from that figures is that it is very likely that the US is the single country Microsoft makes more profit from.

He must be virgin yet, that's why.
I must've heard some thing to that effect. I will consult my pineal gland and come straight back.
I would join the crowd funding, but the tablet won't ship to Brazil! :(
...aim for the turban and beard.
... or for the pale face.
It's not benign to the research.

Is sounds like Haselton is missing the point, which is why people oppose to see women breastfeeding to begin with.

Head-mounted lasers are for sharks. There is, however specific equipment intended to dolphins.

Sounds un-American.
(Full disclosure: I am not American.)
But in Nineteen-Eighty-Four, the measurements were in metric system!

Arnold Schwarznegger's chequered history with women
It looks like he have not needed much of steroids, as he started bodybuilding at an early age.
I guess they would be better off with the "Sperminator".
Any further development to increase longevity, efficiency, affordability will be bashed by The Great Lightbulb Conspiracy.
