Most of the energy losses at ~200 mph, are aerodynamic, not friction. Rail does not help there.
Even here Rail helps. If you have a 1600 passenger train half full, you have only one front with air friction per 800 passengers. With cars seated two each you need already 400 fronts where each one creates its own air friction. So even the most aerodynamically perfect cars wont come close to a single train even with no consideration going into air friction.
And of course there isn't much rail traffic currently between europe and russia, the rail stock uses different gauges.
Not exactly. In fact the rolling stock exchanges the wheels at the borders. The whole waggon gets liftet from the bogies, the bogies are rolled away, new bogies of the right gauge are rolled in, and the waggon gets eased down on the new bogies.
The TALGO train which is used between Spain and France has adjustable wheels to adapt to the different gauges.
Both are actually correct. The slawish languages are very inventive when it comes to diminuitives. Matj means mother, matka is the first diminuitive, and you can add as much syllables as you want to create further diminuitives: matryoshka, matrushenka, matryoshenshitchka...
Ask your insurance company if they will cover you if you left your front door unlocked. From their point of view, you are at fault. You can try to recover your damage from the actual thieves, but for everyone else (execpt law enforcement), it's solely your problem.

If my wireless is open to everyone, and someone used my wireless to commit any non-sanctioned action, I can easily say: It hasn't to be me, someone else might have used it.
If my wireless is closed, and someone breaks my WEP key to use my wireless to commit any non-sanctioned action, it's much more difficult for me to prove myself innocent, because I'm the only one who could have known the right WEP phrase to use it.
So as long as I have a flat rate and don't need to care about the amount of traffic, it's better for me to not lock my wireless.
No, voting with my wallet only works for corporations who are selling to me personally. And only for corporations for which a viable alternative exists. That's one of the reasons why I don't like the idea of utilities being privately held. I can't vote with my wallet against them, because I have to be their customer. So the only way to control them is if they are controlled by a government I can actually vote for or against. And that's also a reason why I am very vary against private health insurance - whenever I actually need them I am not in the situation where I can make concious decisions and freely compare options. For a health insurance company it's very easy to plunder my wallet - my emergeny situation is their business case. (It has to be for a reason that the U.S. health system is by far the most expensive of the world. U.S. citizens pay about twice the money for health care than Europeans without really getting better care, with one exception. The cancer survival rate is actually higher in the U.S. than in Europa. The total life expectancy is not.)
No. We Europeans understand that there is only one reason for a government to exist: to serve us. And if the government doesn't serve us right, we fire it and elect a new one. We are very vary against institutions we can't fire and elect anew, this is one of the reasons why the EU is often frowned upon - most europeans fear they can't change the EU enough to serve them. But once we had agreed that the government is our servant, we are ready to trust it with lots of stuff to do for us - because if it doesn't work out as advertised, we will just fire the government and hire another.
You can vote politicians out of power. You can't vote corporations out of power. You know the old sayings: Politicians are like diapers. You should change them often and for the same reason. Be careful to hand power only to people and institutions you can change within a reasonable time frame and without too much of a bloodshed.

The Bible does not contain a single word about the structure of the Universe. It just assumes that the Universe is there, and we will find out how it works by looking at it.
The times when a witness (official or not) was considered reliable are long gone. We know for a fact that witnesses are not reliable at all - only if their task was to monitor something, they are quite reliable to report what they have monitored.. But this can be done better by a simple recording of continues or repeated measurements.
Most genetic diseases are recessive, so just advising people developing those diseases not to breed would not eliminate them at all - they still will be inherited, and only come to light when two people having the disease interbreed. To actually eliminate them you have to test all people for those diseases and then recommend to all the people carrying the right allele not to breed - but because everyone of us carries some defective alleles, no one would allowed to breed at all.
I don't have an HDTV either - my old cathode ray tube is still going strong, and I don't plan to buy a new TV set in the near future.

Is Sugar Toxic?

MSG appears whenever you put salt to a natural glutamin source.
The main glutaminsource for us is veal (35% of the amino acids in veal is glutamic acid), followed by cured mackerel (30%) and chicken (20%). That's why one uses veal, cured fish or chicken to make a broth. Pork for instance with only about 10% glutamic acid just doesn't make a good broth. Of course you can use cheaper ways to get glutamic acid, you can extract it from wheat, seaweed or yeast. So if you consider MSG to be a risk to your health, avoid veal, mackerel and chicken at all cost!
(Glutamic acid is not toxic per se, the problem is that glutamate is a neurotransmitter.)

The difference of them is just the amount of fructose. HFCS has 42% fructose, HFCS 55 has 55% fructose and HFCS 90 has 90% fructose. Those combinations resemble different types of honey (although in honey, you have about 20% water and up to 10% other sugar types like maltose and saccharose).

Some anti-virus solutions target native viruses (virii?), but most are quickly obsoleted via updates anyways.
There is no latin plural of virus (it's a singularitantum meaning slime or poison), so you can make up your own.
