With posting something on the internet, the "shooting from mexico" analogy may be more correct. This is talking about your action having a direct impact on someone in another country. For instance pornography is illegal in some countries. By posting pornography on a web page, this is comparable to providing it to the citizens of the country where it is illegal.
A more applicable analogy would be your dealer in Amsterdam FedExing the dope to your house. Or a drug lord in South America sending cocaine to the USA (assuming that cocaine is legal in the originating country, and not just that the drug lord is so powerful that he is above the law, probably a false assumption.)
The lights cost $3000 apiece. According to the article, there is a lot of theft of headlights. My guess is it's more of a theft deterrent measure than pure greed.
Actually, saying that we are in the middle of "the greatest extinction since the dinosaurs" is a bit optimistic. Look into the "sixth extinction" theory, notably work by Richard Leakey. The numbers seem to show that current extinction rates are vastly greater than those during the K-T mass extinction (You know... the one that ended the reign of the dinosaurs.)
Oh well, I'm an optimist. There will be an environment left when humans are done with it. Life will adapt to take advantage of the new conditions. Only problem is that we won't be there to see it.
Mostly because a volcano releases the magma, rather than it making it's way back to the mantle. A more likely dumping location would be subduction zones, where a techtonic plate basically slides under another. The problem lies in that these are also unstable areas, under the ocean. The results of an accident could cause quite a lot of damage.
I've got an idea. How about we give all buildings an identifying mark, like say a number. We then Name all streets. Then you just have to enter that mark, possibly with a street name into a simple GIS program (such as mapquest.) I should patent this idea. I think I will call it "addressing."
Hey, if nothing else the act of repeating what you want to do over and over in the microphone might help you learn what you're trying to learn, or convince yourself of... whatever it was that you were trying to convince yourself of...
..."I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like me."

Beliefs? This one is Tricky. I'll leave it up to someone else to tackle this for now. Although animals showing signs of mourning (evidence shown under institutions) forms a good basis for beliefs.
Institutions? Such as social hierarchy. That is found all over in nature... wolf packs, bee/termite hives... And the "human" institution of mourning the dead? Let's see... koko again. And Elephants mourning their dead is a well documented phenomenon.
Of course this means that the TV execs want to deliver the best possible product. Now, the best possible product is the kind of person who is actually swayed by advertising. Producing intelligent, captivating, mind stimulating shows would actually be an IRRESPONSIBLE move for execs looking out for the company's best interests.
Just something I've been thinking about for a bit...
I feel that most of this is water weight. Even if you don't get up to go to the bathroom, you are still sweating and losing water through your breathing. Scientists usually measure carbon dioxide production to determine energy use, and have probably already done this.
The word "Open" does not have to mean "open source." Simply publishing the interface with which to write plugins could be construed as open. This would mean that you (in theory) would have more flexibility in applying plugins.
I have experienced beer allowing me to concentrate more fully on something. For instance, I play pool/darts far better after a couple of drinks, as long as I don't have so much that my coordination is impaired. It seems that I become able to focus on the one task at hand, and more able to tune out distractions.
I also hear this about driving drunk. When drunk, people are usually able to maintain their speed, or follow a straight line. Not both. Considering that driving requires juggling so many different inputs, it makes sense to not drive intoxicated. Especially considering that the ability to hyperatenuate one particular thing will give the driver a false sense of confidence.
I prefer to think of it in terms of charge. REDUCING the atom will REDUCE the charge, IE lower it. Since electrons are negative, this means adding an electrion.
The reason that the light does not flicker is that there is a phosphorescent coating on the inside of the glass, which gives the light a die down time. Sorta like glow in the dark objects, but a much shorter time frame. So in essence, there is a flicker, just less noticeable to the eye (assuming the bulb is in good repair.)
Have considered something like abuse@fbi.gov, but then again I know someone who's gotten in trouble for sending the president a death threat from someone elses account...
One of my biology TAs put it the best. "Here. Have a plant's reproductive organs... on a stick." I mean, what better way of showing why you really love her?
Makes sense. It really isn't the beans that give a person gas, but eating unfamiliar food. If you eat a new food, chances are you will not have the correct set of bacteria to help digest it.
And one thing that seems to help is to just drink enough water when you are eating. A tall glass or two helps in digestion, as well as most other body processes.
Come on, the government isn't doing this to get taxes. The heads of big business were finally shown something by their tech department that they understood: spam costs money. Then the heads of big business just reach into their pocket and pull out their assortment of representatives, and we finally have action!
In the great lakes:
Zebra Mussels
Sea Lamprey
Alewives (Now under control due to human introduction of salmon)
Are all breeding out of control, decimating local populations of animals. Rats and pigs brought to islands by seagoing vessels have devastated local habitats. The Brown Tree Snake Has devastated many indeigenous populations of birds in guam. The list goes on and on.
Remember that at one time people had predation pressure on them, but we just found ways around those pressures. Often times this happens in the animal kingdom when some small element changes. Small, rapidly reproducing organisms (IE. Virii, Bacteria, etc) are just in a better stance to quickly take advantage of new opportunities than most larger, slowly reproducing animals.

And for a second I thought you meant that the ELECTRONS were a pain to dispose of. D'oh.
Easy. Aluminum is hard to bend back to the original shape. Often times cheaper to replace than repair.

Yep. And it's the same idea as a regular electric motor.
"Free radicals are also the reason pre-burned wood can be restarted burning again so easily"
I've always wondered why charcoal is used instead of wood in a grill.

"we knew that we had one moon"
Okay, this is about a "quasi moon" and not an actual second moon. And we didn't have this particular one 100 years ago either. Just... interesting.

Amen to that last statement.

And then there's the infamous Tetris dream.
But if it the average throughput goes up, then so do the ISP's rates.
