Sorting trash is standard. Here in the Netherlands most houses have 6 bins:
1. Kitchen waste (left over food, bones from meat and other stuff that biodegrades)
2. Plastic.
3. Drink cartons, tin cans and other stuff with thin metallic layers.
4. Paper.
5. Glass.
6. A small bin for the rest.
7....
8. Profit
This is feasible because we have to pay for the rest waste. All others, if properly separated, are collected free.
Kitchen waste and paper could probably be used to feed such a thing, although our biodiesel producers, compost producers and paper mills wouldn't like it.
I had an aneurysm (brain hemorrhage) a couple of years back. I can't remember anything about the operation, but they did such a procedure to install a platinum wire in the ruptured blood vessel. I must say, the alternative (sawing a part of my skull open and having a scar there for the rest of my life) seems way worse. If there had been an alternative, because the center of the brain is difficult if not impossible to operate on from the out side. From the inside it's relatively easy and you don't have to cut your way through healthy brain tissue in order to get to the problem. During checkups they used a similar procedure to get contrast fluid in the proper place (so they didn't have to use as much). That time I was awake. It didn't feel invasive at all.
Everything should be as customizable as possible. That doesn't mean that the config menu needs to be complicated, it only means there needs to be a normal settings menu (sufficient for 90% of the users) and a "pro" menu with all the other settings. Firefox (among some others probably) has this worked out perfectly. The settings in the normal options are sufficient for most users. Power users can use about:config to change other stuff. That it's not usable for 90% of the users doesn't matter. They don't need it. And for those things that are to complex for about:config there is a plethora of plugins. Joe blow does not need them, but the 10% advanced users are very happy with them. My opinion: If I can't switch it off it's a bug. Not a feature.
Because the temperature in the core of the sun is "only" approximately 15 MK and the temperature of the plasma in the ITER will be 150 MK. And the sun does most of it's power generation in the middle of the core. Not on the outer edge of the core. And the sun is not actively controlled, while the ITER will have microwaves emitters to stabilise the plasma to get the best fusion rates possible at the size.
In a car analogy: If a 16 wheeler can't do 200 miles an hour, how on earth would a bullet ever be able to do faster than that?
Bah, you can have a flying car now. In fact, trebuchets have been possible since the middle ages. Oh, you want it to land comfortably? That wasn't in the specs.
A Polywell is a nice toy. It doesn't scale well. It's not feasible for power generation. If you scale it up the power requirements for the field grow faster than the power output.
The Tokamak design however does something interesting when you increase it's size. The power draw for maintaining the field increases, but the power output by fusion increases much faster. If memory serves well the power draw scales with the square of the size and the power output scales with the fourth power of the size. Ergo, it's possible to make an effective powerplant by simply making the Tokamak big enough. However, to prevent expensive failures they had to start small. To learn. The ITER could be the last learning step. If it works properly then the next step will be to make a fusion reactor to actually generate electricity (or maybe add generators to the ITER). If it doesn't work as expected the first time it's started (more likely. It's research after all) then the ITER will give information on what to change in order to get it working.
Especially in bearings porous can be a feature, not a bug. In ball bearings I'd guess it's always a bug though. Slide bearings are customary made sintered, since you can push oil through the bearing bush itself to lubricate the works. One of the disadvantages is that you can't widen them with a simple lathe because that closes the pores.
That may be true, but with careful wording they can explain your rights to be next to nothing. There is no such thing as a law without loopholes, even if the law in question is the constitution.

Removing them is the wrong reaction. A better reaction would be to make a setting "Include erotica cateory in search results" (default off). And put the bible in that category, where it belongs.
Long delays. Sound travels at the speed of sound, which is a lot slower than light causing large delays. In space things are simply so far away that the light speed delays are similar. If you have a 3 hour delay you do not wish to use the default TCP/IP, because the syn/ack phase would take hours. My best guess is that you have a quite long sync phase and then just send the data and wait for confirmation that it's received correctly after sending everything. If it isn't received correctly you send the parts that went wrong again.
We need a long rope, a couple of buckets, a Newtsuit and a rocket to get there. A couple of thousands dollar of investment probably. And the return: Buckets full of diamonds.
Not everything that's posted on the Internet is the truth. I couldn't find whether the comments were lies or truths. Neither could I find whether they were relevant to the topic.
Google does this the best way I can imagine. The walled garden keeps malware out, but hands the user the key to the gate. The gate has a sign that tells the user it's dangerous to open the door. This means that power users who want to program their own stuff can do so without controll from Google but non-power users can have their walled garden. To bad there are people who ignore the warning and just open the gate to let something in from an unknown source.
Not necessarily. If King Louis had a son that married a girl who was impregnated by a guard then there is no genetic connection between King Louis and the child, since neither the father nor the mother were related to him. By the way this is difficult research. Aside from all the factors that cause someone to have a name without the genetic connection it's only 1/256 th of the identifiable dna that matches.
While the core of your post is probably correct, "whore" is not the word I'd choose. Those marriages were often purely political, with no love involved. And that is beside the point offered by my sibling posters: one of the lineage was not interested in women. He may have had an understanding with his wife where they both got to do as they wished. In both cases "whore" is not a correct term IMHO, although she violated the terms of her marriage.
My S4 Active would be cumbersome if I wore tight pants. I don't so it doesn't bother me. The S4 Active has a 5" screen. The Round would, seemingly, have a 5.7" screen. If it were flat and someone who wears tight pants would have it in a pant pocket then that someone would probably have to be overweight because that makes for a larger curvature. Not what I like to see in tight pants.
Matter-antimatter reactions give off a lot of gamma radiation and gamma is hard to shield against. Besides, matter antimatter reactions are not a source of energy. It is a potential energy storage, although the efficiency is horrible (far below 1% currently).
Boron is a potential source of energy.
Doesn't that depend on conditions? I assume that it's far more difficult when there is sidewind or something like that. I'd really like to have someone talking me through it when I would need to do that.

Wow. I am glad that Amber Alerts are opt-in in the Netherlands. Granted: I opted in, but to have no choice would suck.
The "cheap" is their relevant expenses part. Not what they charge.

That has nothing to do with spam. The NSA headquarters has needed a drone strike for a while now.
People with their dignity intact spend to little on comfort food. This can not be allowed.

Or Samsung does that to Apple. Don't think Samsung is nicer just because they use a better OS.
