Or genetically modify your fuel source to do this by it self. Or maybe alfalfa grass is a good fuel crop. It already has Rhizobia nodules in it's roots, so it can use nitrogen in the air.
Wow, that's an even bigger waste of taxpayers money than I originally thought. Can't they use the money to educate the farmers how to grow something useful and which foodstuff will grow on their land?
That kind of drilling seems hard and expensive. A well like this can be made, and if this can be made then probably the well could end on the surface again. The stainless steel tubing would be difficult. Pushing steel tubing through a curve in the well may even be impossible, steel isn't extremely flexible without a bellow structure and a bellow would lower the throughput of your well. It's also expensive.
The age-statistic is even less usefull:
Many infant deaths have been solved. This bumps up the average age a lot, without raising the maximum age. Aging problems are a result from the maximum age, not simply the average. Better would be to use the average age of people who get older than 50 (for example). BTW: The maximum age is higher than it was 100 years ago, but not as much as the average age.
Even without knowing the modulus:
[pseudocode coz I'm not a programmer]
X is the input
x/3=y
round y down = z (or cast it into an integer and ignore overflows)
if z*3=x then X is a multiple of three.
It was already that big. The only thing that happened was that it was measured better and turned out to be bigger than we previously thought.

The Trouble With 4K TV

Here in the Netherlands they are laying fiber to most homes. At the moment they are only doing cities and towns, so I'm not getting any yet (I live 1km from the closest town. This is quite far by Dutch standards), but in cities and towns people are getting fiber. Once the fiber is there the 4K shouldn't be a problem. Replace the old neighborhood boxes with streaming servers and harddisks and just pull the 4K data from there. Then the connection between the main switches and the neighborhood boxes isn't as heavily taxed and the real internet can still be fast.
Mellowing it down: the bulbs themselves are not that obnoxious, just when used with a conventional reflector. They are more bright so they require a more precise reflector to keep that light out of the eyes of the other road users.
What is water? Pure H2O is a myth. You always have H3O+ and OH- in there. Unless they have exactly the same density as H2O then you'll have a slightly varying fault there. By the way: water is a universal dissolver. It dissolves literally everything (albeit slowly). So what are you going to make the container out of? As soon as you put the water in there it'll start contaminating the water. Now your dm3 of water is a bit more dense. 1 dm3 of water is good enough for 99.99% of all cases (guess), but not for some sciences.
You'd also need bottles with a tube and a ball valve because otherwise the pressure would probably force a great deal of beer into the cabin. No gravity to keep it in the bottle, and free flowing liquids amongst that number of life-preserving computers is not something that I'd like to test.
For the beer itself: it seems you'd want a strong tasting beer. Taste buds down in space (well, actually it's smell), so I'd advise a very malty brown beer. No pils malt (3-5 EBC), replace that with munich malt (15 EBC) or even Amber malt (up to 50 EBC). The medium-roasted malts should be a bit darker than usual to: some caramel malt of 350 EBC. Throw in 2% or so of the chocolate malt (900 EBC) or black malt (1200 EBC). FYI: EBC is a measure for the amount of roasting of the malt. Higher is darker and tastier. Low is the basis, medium the body of the taste and high is the dark color and roasted taste. Chocolate malt is still sweet, dark malt is a bit charred to my taste.
Dead pigs are expensive, smell, leave stains on the seats, have a limited acceptable usage time and some people don't like for you to use them. Now the mythbusters are usually testing other things than dielectric strength. I an certain a spud doesn't have similar ballistic properties to a human.
That's not quite it: the market doesn't want them to innovate. The reason these simple calculators are so widely used in classes (despite their cost) is that they are simple calculators. On my school they didn't like the TI83. It could be programmed and they didn't like that. We were legally required to use it during our exams so they couldn't refuse it to us, but they would have if they could. The lower levels of education, which weren't required to use a TI83 (or equivalent) weren't allowed to use them.
And rightfully so. I spend some time learning to program on the thing, and programmed some math stuff (a pythagoras program amongst others. It showed every step the teacher wanted to see on the paper) I then found out how I could send it to connected TI 83s. I didn't need the program anymore, I worked enough with it to know the way by heart, but my classmates didn't. They just punched in the numbers and wrote down what the calculator said.
The second year someone built a parallel port cable, so we had games on the things. I programmed a simple scrolling space shooter myself (with ascii art), but most of us were playing penguin (a simpe sidescroller) during boring classes.
Not by much. Rock isn't gass: it's not compressible. This planet isn't heavy enough to form a different type of matter (electron degenerant matter, neutronic matter, black hole stuff like that) so the compression force may be bigger, the volume it takes isn't that much smaller.
While I agree with you that solar can't be the only part of the solution: doesn't Japan have roofs? Don't they have roads? "Land set aside for solar" can still be used for housing, roads and industry.
Besides: they have a quite large area near to Fukushima that's too irradiated to live in. The least irradiated parts could be used to build some solar plants. Radiation isn't absolute so the edges of the area could have building projects. As the radiation lessens or cleanup crews progress (or even if the area is covered with a 2m thick layer of dirt, stones and sand) projects can advance to areas closer to the stronger irradiated area. Some work could be done with robots (such as laying the thick layer of dirt, stones and sand). The Fukushima powerplant was 246 km from Tokyo and on the same island so a HVDC cable without mountain ridge crossings would probably be no big problem. Note: I am not an engineer in any of these things. I have no intimate knowledge of the area and the land.
You can hear while having Spinal Tap on a suitable volume. True, you can only hear Spinal Tap and a quite loud buzzing, but everything has it's downsides.
Beh, just define the starting conditions of the universe, a time offset, identification data on which part you need (the squirrel) and the vector of the camera. Then you can calculate the outline perfectly, assuming your codec knows the laws of physics perfectly (and can predict quantum uncertainty factors).
With only the DNA you don't know the pose the squirrel has, so the outline is uncertain.
I do not know how it is in Australia, but here in the Netherlands the money BREIN used to get from empty cassettes and CD's (and nowadays probably MP3 players and harddrives) is not going to the artists. The money goes to BREIN. They have some cooked up fucked up official reason why they didn't send the money to the artists (I believe they said they couldn't figure out how to do that) but the real reason is clear as day: they are crooks and don't want to hand over money to the ones who have a right to it. By the way: downloading is legal here in the Netherlands. Uploading isn't.

Out of the top of my head: 2 layers with rigid foam in between helps against the loss of stability when a crack does form. This guide is for a bike, but the same technique should be usable on a boat, with ballistic grade Kevlar instead of fiberglass.Also use more layers. If you plan on getting shot at a lot I'd advise a pump in the boat, because bailing is not the thing I'd want to do while getting shot at.

That won't help you, unless you learn how to filter better.
I would give more for an OS that understands something is wrong and misdesigned when I am cussing loudly to it.

There are plenty of those obnoxious metal halide lamps on cars. They are just called xenon lamps.

You can generate lead if you want, I prefer to generate gold.

A Spinal Tap CD at repeat and a suitable volume would solve that.

Then you can calculate the outline perfectly, assuming your codec knows the laws of physics perfectly (and can predict quantum uncertainty factors).

Seeing what people who create such options for themselves usually do I say probably option 2, although I have no proof of that.
