Eh, there are really two things about this story that stink.
1. Cervical Cancer
It's the second most prevalent cancer in women worldwide, and the 8th most common in the USA.
2. How expensive this vaccine is.
$400 is a lot of money to most people.
What would be interesting to see is if it would be less expensive for insurance companies (or medicare/medicaid) to pay for all covered women without current HPV infections to have the vaccine or to treat cancer as it happens. I would imagine that it is cheaper to do the vaccine now than to treat the cancer later. If the vaccine were $100-$200 I think it would be a no brainer.
I mean, a formal proof. You're making a pretty broad statement, after all. I have a truly marvelous demonstration of this proposition which this margin is too small to contain.

It seems that they were trying to institute dl/ul speed caps on only certain types of traffic (probably BT, servers, and other P2P), but they ended up capping all the traffic instead due to an error.
Electrolysis requires a hell of a lot of electricity.
Zn/HCl is acceptable for extremely small quantities of H2, not for any sort of medium/large scale.
Steam reforming requires CH4, high temperatures (lots of electricity), catalysts, and separation of the products (1CO2 and 4H2 as products from CH4 and 2H2O)
Chlor-alkali requires a lot of heat (again from electricity), and mercury catalysts.
Thermochemical hydrolysis requires heat (from electricity) and FeCl2 in non-catalytic amounts.
Generation of H2 requires a lot of electricity or heat at some point. It is pretty damn inefficient. The whole "hydrogen economy" which Bush proposed a few years back was honestly little more than an attempt to get more nuclear plants built, since it is the cleanest way of generating the power to make H2. Frankly, methane is one of the cleaner ways to feasibly generate energy right now. It may make some CO2, but it can be used almost anywhere, and is cleaner than oil or coal.
Hydro: Not feasible for most of the world, also ecologically disastrous due to destruction of wetlands.
Wind: Not feasible for most of the world, expensive to maintain.
Solar: Not yet feasible for most of the world, unpredictable energy output, initially expensive, solar panel efficiency is getting better though.
Nuclear (fusion): Still at least a decade from being able to actually produce energy.
Nuclear (fission): Probably the cleanest method of electricity generation. Cleanup from accidents and disposal of waste is a bitch. Subject to NIMBY syndrome.
Geothermal: Might work for the VERY few places which could use it.
Coal: Even dirtier than natural gas, less efficient and more, NOx/SOx.
Biomass: Carbon neutral if you have a good method of rapid biomass production. Doesn't cut it on its own for power production yet. Algae farming may change that in a few years.
Methane: Rather efficient combustion (more so than biomass or coal), relatively low production of nitrogen and sulfur oxides.
The "hydrogen economy" is a good idea, but any method of large scale H2 production requires energy from one of the above sources.
it's natural gas idiot - it's as clean burning as it gets.
No, idiot. It's as dirty as it gets. It releases CO2. You didn't do well at comprehension at school, did you? Well, "clean burning" generally refers to having low amount of sulfur and nitrogen oxide products as a result. Nitrogen and sulfur oxides are smog and acid rain respectively. Methane is pretty good about not producing much of either. You didn't do well in chemistry at school, did you?
Don't be an idiot. Apple doesn't make toasters or cars or washing machines. They do, however, make electronics. My toaster, car, and washing machine all have significant electrical components. In fact, the toaster and washing machine are entirely electronic.
The big time multi-disciplinary journals such as Science and Nature really are some of the most well respected journals in many fields. These are journals we're talking about here, not newsstand rags. They have very high standards for submissions and target an audience of scientists, even though they tend to gravitate toward more popular topics.
ultrafast high-density nonvolatile memory Apparently it will be a series of tubes which you will be able to just dump something on, because the tubes will be able to store an enormous amount of material, enormous amount of material.
I don't know. They've sold 222 so far for about $100,000. That's nearly $500 per person. I guess people who are getting this done are willing to pay out the nose for it.
"Remember kids, even your parents can't be trusted. If you suspect your mom or dad to be illegally using music or software, call 911 and report them." You mean, like what DARE teaches kids in the United States.

How do you cleanly make H2?

Okay, what other power source do you advocate?
Hydro: Not feasible for most of the world, also ecologically disastrous due to destruction of wetlands.
Wind: Not feasible for most of the world, expensive to maintain.
Solar: Not yet feasible for most of the world, unpredictable energy output, initially expensive, solar panel efficiency is getting better though.

I think whoever had the bright idea to make an online election must have been a little bit Estoned.

What you should have said:
Be was pretty neat
But when compared to Nextstep
It wasn't that great
And strangely enough
once I log in to the site
warnings go away
Be was pretty good
It was ahead of its time
Back in the nineties.
