We use old newspapers to make new paper. Have been doing so for years. The fibers in paper are quite strong and will withstand multiple uses. I daresay probably 80% of the Dutch paper is made from recycled paper. The collecting is usually done by sports clubs (like soccer clubs. Most villages have soccer clubs here) and they make some of their income off from it.
I had the fortune of calling an Asian tech support center for my work (dunno where the center actually is). Apart from a very heavy accent there were no big hurdles. He knew what he was doing and fixed it fast. The next question was solved over MS Communicator (the official chat program here) and thus the accent problem disappeared. These were some IT related requests.
I do not want to replace a laptop often. Each time you replace it you smack the environment in the face (the cost of building those things is quite huge. Ad to that the damage if you simply throw it away in the trash (which you should never do in any developed country, except for the USA)). Now I don't mind doing that a couple of times, but I try to minimize it. An old laptop is good enough for a lot of things.
Laptops you buy now will be good enough to browse, listen to music and edit some documents for years to come. Now if you wish to game on the laptop that's a different story, but I do not.
In that case I'd want to increase the diameter of the sphere, since that's a bit to hot. You can assume it's big enough for the ideal temperature for the species that constructed it. Thus it can have almost any temperature that species desires.

Got a sleepphase alarm clock. This thing wakes me up at a moment that I'm next to awake, for a good start each morning. It works with an armband (much like a sweatband). The band checks your movement and when you move a little (as you do in the "good to wake up phase") and if that happens withing 30 mins before the set time it wakes you up. It's very pricy (at EUR180), but worth it.
I may be a fool, but on Sourceforge I am always stumped by the lack of the installer download. (or I am such I fool that I can't find it while it's in my face). I do not want the sourcecode, I want an installer! There are some beautiful projects there that I did not try because I had to compile the shit before I could use it.
If you haven't had a credit card number "borrowed" at least once a year, you're not shopping online. And not going to restaurants either.
I shop online quite frequently. Even before I had a credit card. I started when this meant paying an "acceptgiro" before the goods were send. When online shopping picked up they started using Ideal for convenience (because most people don't have a credit card in the Netherlands). It just buggered me I couldn't pay abroad. I had a paypal account for those a while back (but deleted it because they nuked the inherent safety of that system). Then I got me a credit card for work related travel. But that was after about a decade of buying stuff online. In the Netherlands I still pay online without credit card, because I don't want people to have my credit card number. I know I will be reimbursed when fraudulent charges are made, but I don't want criminals to have the chance.
While I can accept your believe in a God, I must say NO.
Magnets do not work through science. We know how they work through science. They work through generating an magnetic field.
Gravity doesn't work through science. Science will one day figure out how it works (at least, that's my belief). There are some theories, but science requires proof.
The sun doesn't work through science. We know it's gives light because of fusion because of science.
Scientists have admitted the previous calculations of the age of the moon were incorrect. They have given a new number which can be contested and disputed, if you provide some evidence. The conclusion you draw is (most probably on purpose) the wrongest one possible. Science is about admitting you could be wrong, but believing you are right (based on evidence or searching for that evidence). That's the difference between science and religion: science can be proven wrong. Now, that doesn't prove religion to be wrong. It may be there is a God, that he created everything and that he created "proofs" of other explanations to lead men astray. But I believe that isn't the explanation. I believe science can find the explanation. In that science can be viewed as a religion, but the fundamental difference is that science can be proven wrong. Ah, but the world is far to complex to explain in a couple of paragraphs.
No. Read up on LCD's They replaced the polarization layers (which absorb wrong-polarized photons and convert them into heat) with energy generating polarization layers (which absorb wrong-polarized photons and convert them into electricity). To do this they had to create an energy generating polarization layer, which is a great feat.
If you can't control how much dimming these provide by capturing photons, on an individual basis, then your point is moot.
You can control that. This is a polarizing filter, just like the one that's there now. The polarizing filter is there to filter out the light that has had it's polarization rotated by the LCD layer. LCD layers themselves are very transparent, they do not block light themselves. They get polarized light, rotate the polarization and send it through another polarization layer. If the polarization of the light is rotated (the LCD layer is "on") the light is absorbed by the filter (or just a part of it. Depending on how much it's rotated). The difference between this new polarization layer and the old one is that the old one absorbs the light and converts it to heat. The new one converts some of it to electricity.

Belgians have real fries, they don't need those far-to-thin french "fries".
Hmm, Vlaamse frieten! Delicious! Especially with the sour mayo they have!

A fully sealed phone (bluetooth data transfer and inductive charging) that's really watertight (and not prohibitively expensive) would be cool.
True.
Good torture takes time.

That's in the 80%.

For that the urban dictionary would be more useful, although some definitions may be shocking.
Playing Kingdom of Loathing has about the same effect.

Hmm, I should have previewed that. It's a bit of an abstract matter, but my explanation is clear as mud. Read the wikipedia, it's much better.

With the Classic Discussion on (and Noscript) I can read everything, although I can't mod nor vote in the Firehose.
xxx.exe sounds like a porn executable. I wouldn't trust that!
I got modpoints, but can't mod. Some change killed modding without scripts.
