There have been a few small quakes attributed to geothermal, but I don't think there were reported deaths in the quakes. If Yellowstone exploded due to geothermal power generation, that would be a few deaths...
Eventually, as has always happened in the past (though I dearly hope it doesn't); Steam will go out of business. What happens at that point? 90% of the time, you lose all access to the games you paid for. If that is just fine in your book, that is your choice, but many people have been burned too many times by this problem with DRM.
PS: yes I am aware of Valve's promise to unlock the DRM if they ever stop offering the Steam service, but that promise has been broken in the past by other companies we trusted.
CIQ is not part of Android. It is installed by the phone manufacturers as part of their load at the request of the Cell carriers, but it is not a standard part of Android. Root Kit is a valid description.
The reason the troops didn't come home right away is that the country needed help becoming stable again. If we had immediately left, it would have guaranteed another dictator rising to power.
Another problem is that it seems people in power on our side keep making the same mistakes in that region because they don't understand it. The things being fought over are the differences between Shia and Sunni. It is roughly equivalent to the old fights between Catholic and Protestant, and it is a very difficult problem to solve.
Nook Tablet, not Nook Color 2. Just FYI, B&N doesn't call it Color 2 as far as I have seen; I think they are trying to make it out to be more than a book reader to appeal to a wider audience.
So your position is that people protesting the arrest of a nonviolent protest in a non violent way should be peppersprayed?
The people were protesting the arrest of the Occupy people by sitting. The police officer then proceeded to pepper spray them at close range, causing chemical burns requiring hospitalization in at least one case. The officer misused pepper spray, and used it in a situation where it wasn't warranted. I am surprised he isn't up on charges for assault yet.
No matter if you agree with the protesters or not, there was an assault committed by an officer of the law. If you are okay with that, I wonder what kind of human you are.
Oh, and also, my Verizon Android plan included unlimited texting, it isn't an addon like normal plans, but I also pay extra for the unlimited data plan that doesn't exist anymore.
He isn't in the US. In Europe people use SMS much more often than calling, in the US it is reversed (unless it is a teenage girl, in which case they text constantly).
There are some new carriers popping up that offer free SMS with the plans, but they are small fries like Cricket.
The Stop Online Piracy Act was introduced by Representative Lamar Smith [R-TX] and was initially co-sponsored by Howard Berman [D-CA], Marsha Blackburn [R-TN], Mary Bono Mack [R-CA], Steve Chabot [R-OH], John Conyers [D-MI], Ted Deutch [D-FL], Elton Gallegly [R-CA], Bob Goodlatte [R-VA], Timothy Griffin [R-AR], Dennis A.

Though this section I find heartening:
Opponents of the bill include Google, Yahoo!, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, AOL, LinkedIn, eBay, Mozilla Corporation, and Wikimedia Foundation, the Brookings Institution and human rights organizations such as Reporters Without Borders,[71] the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the ACLU and Human Rights Watch.[72][73][74] The Library Copyright Alliance (including the American Library Association) objects to the broadened definition of "willful infringement" and the introduction of felony penalties for noncommercial streaming infringement, stating that these changes could encourage criminal prosecution of libraries.[75] On November 16, Tumblr, Mozilla, Reddit, Techdirt, and the Center for Democracy and Technology were among many other Internet companies that protested the Stop Online Piracy Act by participating in a so-called "American Censorship Day". They displayed black banners over their site logos with the words "STOP CENSORSHIP".[76] House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has expressed opposition to the bill, as well as Representatives Darrell Issa (R-CA) and presidential candidate Ron Paul (R-TX), who joined nine Democrats to sign a letter to other House members warning that the bill would cause "an explosion of innovation-killing lawsuits and litigation."[77] "Issa said the legislation is beyond repair and must be rewritten from scratch," reported The Hill.

Anyone unwilling to accept that needs to stop using cars and electricity.

What is your timeline on exhaustion to be considered renewable?
Check out how long the supply of Thorium would last when used for nuclear power and tell me it isn't "renewable"
Open mouth, insert foot. I assumed salt, and got the salt wrong. Apparently it is Sodium Nitrate and Potassium Nitrate used.

Sodium Chloride. Table salt. The worst reaction is the instant incineration at those temperatures.

I missed you Bob! Thanks for the laughs.

Hell, Starcraft 1 was still played heavily all over the world until 2 came out, and that is from 1998.

You don't consider Symantec to be a root kit? I consider it an insidious virus that is damn near impossible to eradicate...yep, a root kit :)
Burr or blade grinder?
(In case anyone doesn't know, only burr, only EVER burr...)
I sell drills specifically designed to drill into bank vaults. I can't be held responsible for its use... /sarcasm
Some people might find it kinky to have their bedroom moments video taped by a stranger....

Because clearly Stephen Hawking is much too stupid to keep up with your intellect.
What about the extended character set? Insert Russian, Arabic, whatever into your password and make it really hard :)

LoJack gives no discount with Nationwide. I wasn't aware of this when I got it with my car, but peace of mind is there at least.

They forgot all the fiber, routers, modems, computers, servers. What, those aren't part of the internet?
