The nuclear waste disposal issue is politics, not science. France has no issue reprocessing their waste, and what is left over can be buried like in Yucca Mountain.
The area needed to power all of Europe, Africa and the Middle East could easily come from the Sahara, North America could be powered by covering some of the deserts, and South America by using their deserts. It is possible to do, but the storage is an absolute non starter. We have no way to store the kind of power we would need to store with all solar, and it is a pipe dream right now to do it without nuclear.
They weren't even 100% renewable energy but 100% renewable electricity. They aren't counting the coal used in the concrete plants, and anything else that is thermal energy, just electricity production.
Any aliens capable of crossing interstellar distances would have no reason to exterminate us. It would be just as easy to "terra"form Mars or Venus, or even one of the watery moons.
For Mars to be temporarily (on the millions of years time scale) terraformed, you just need to drop some icy comets/asteroids on the planet to increase the level of water available. For Venus, use those amazing atmospheric scrubbers from the ship to process the atmosphere into usable components and remove the Carbon from the atmosphere into carbonates, or other carbon based forms (diamonds? graphite/ene?).
If they have the technology to travel the distances, settling another planet would be easier than exterminating the life, and dealing with any pathogens that might actually be able to take you out.
26 years is short term? That is most of my life. I wasn't exactly involved in politics when I was 10 years old.
So, because something didn't work 26 years ago, let's just destroy the world instead of working towards that goal? Do you really think there would be so much outcry about the civil unions (that are legal in many places) if the effort was to equalize rights between the two?
I had my cell phone with a barometric sensor on during a flight (after being allowed to turn it on), and found something interesting. It turns out, the sensor maxxed out at 8k ft altitude. This must be the altitude equivilent that the cabin is pressurized at.
I also think that removing the audio jack was stupid, but when exercising, I prefer wireless in ear headphones, as they don't get in the way of the exercising.
It is not a legal requirement placed on Facebook. You expect them to create a system that complex out of the goodness of their hearts? Oh, and if they do it, they lose safe harbor, so they can be sued for any video the miss.
But, once it did, there is nothing stopping her from registering the copyrights and trademarks cayenne8 mentions. In fact, the publishing establishes prior ownership.
The internet has been around longer than this woman was alive. Yes, it has been around a long time.
She chose to send out the video to make her ex jealous, she was a terrible person, and got publicly shamed for her activity. Do you think she should have the "right" to rub her ex's nose in her sex life to make him jealous?
But what about if you send a copy of your front door key to someone you know has reason to be mad at you? Is it not in the least bit her fault when she intentionally sent the video of her having a revenge sex spree to her ex boyfriend to get him jealous? At some point you have to ask what the person was thinking. Yes, putting the video online is in bad taste, but sending a video of yourself having sex with someone to an ex isn't in your world?

Do they? When will they fix the design defect called bendgate?
Since bendgate led to touch disease, I guess never?
NASA and the NSA, as well as Bletchley Park.
Both private inventions that were used by the space program, but not a result of it:

Yes, efficiency has been climbing. Since 2006 multijunction panels (the highest efficiency) went from 36% to 46%. Other forms moved up as well.

I don't disagree with your premise, but no, we would not need to pave over the southwest:

Sugar?
Solar is fusion power though!
They are not our ancestors. This is not how genetics/evolution works.
They are our siblings, they are as advanced genetically (for their niche) as we are.

I've also used a combination temperature / pressure sensor to measure altitude in model rockets.
I'll bet that graph was...interesting. The overpressure from the engine igniting would likely make it look like it flew underground.

Perhaps you need to relearn some basic physics? Yes, moving air has a lower pressure than still air.

No. There is an exemption for cell phones.

Well, they made a recommendation, but left it open for Apple to counter offer with another method of getting the data.
Except no, the court order included reasonable fees, which would have been paid by the FBI.

Section 5 and 7. Did you honestly think no one could look up the court order and call you out on that?

DeviantArt?
It is an art site, there are likely some nude pictures on it, but it is where you go to find cool backgrounds.
Now you know why they are so eager to marry Americans.
