I have missed the fracking fluids. I am sorry. The article only mentioned the methane. I do not think the methane is a direct health risk (although it could pose a fire hazard). I would assume the fracking fluids would be unhealthy.
My guess would be: locally grown produce can be sprayed with methane water without problems. In such small droplets methane will dissipate fast enough to prevent most of the contamination of the produce. Next the produce is left on the field to grow for a wile, giving it ample time to dissipate the rest of the methane. Drinking the water directly may be a problem, but I would guess it isn't, since methane is a natural expel gas for humans (in some farts). The fire hazard is another problem. IANAEOTS, and this is mainly guesswork.
If humanity survives for 500 million years we can assume we can control the sun. Maybe we can peel it with a giant magnetic field. Smaller stars live longer. By that time the only natural resource we will be needing is mass (we don't care what elements. We will be able to fuse what we need and different machines will use that energy to force the atoms together after iron). This mass can be stolen from the sun (assuming we have disassembled all the planets.). This mining of the sun will also cause it to live longer.
If you play the Brian Fox commentary (he was the advisor on the scientific valididity) you would have noticed him saying something like "I told them Boyle wouldn't freeze, because one of the problems in space is losing the heat you generate. You have nothing to lose it to. I also told them to keep it in the film, because it looks good. Combined with the burning at the moment he leaves the safety of the shield it displays the hostility of the environment outside of the ship perfectly".
I found it a conundrum: Do I start with installing a decent virus scanner or do I start with downloading Firefox? Whether it is nobler in the mind to be able to detect viruses and remove the resource hog that was installed or to prevent most of the viruses altogether? To install, to sandbox and by sandboxing to say we contained the hooks and the thousands of dangerous file edits that viruses are heir to.
Incandescent lightbulbs are far to slow to flicker at that frequency (I can't believe they'd cool more than 10 degrees in the zero passing. It's just way to short) and CFL's have a electronic ballast which requires them to have a high frequency (about 5 KHz I believe). Large scale modern TL arrays (office) usually have an electronic ballast too (and thus are at a high frequency). Old small scale TL's do flicker at 50 Hz and can cause headaches.
I have been hearing people complain about the stability of outlet voltage in CFL topics for as long as these bulbs exists. One comment said something like: "These CFL lights don't reach their long life in real world applications. Maybe with the perfect outlets in test labs but not with the varying voltage in real life." I have never seen the voltage on my outlets vary, except for an occasional complete fail (due to a tripped fuse or something). My CFL bulbs seem to have the expected lifetime. I live in the Netherlands. This is where I get the idea that the US power grid sucks donkey balls. Here in Nijmegen is a company called Smit Transformatoren. I had a job interview there a while back, they told me most of the large transformers in the US were outdated, under powered and poorly maintained.
The reason it won't work is stated a bit above: The soundwaves change to heat (slowly, but they do) in the air and at each bounce. The box would start heating up as you "fill" it and this heat would leak away.
During the Nijmeegse 4daagse a team of researches attempted to grab internal temperatures by means of a pill and send the data to a phone. I believe it succeded, but I can't find it now.
For long term monitoring the problem is the power supply: batteries are way to big. Now people are solving that by developing blood powered fuel cells, but I have a clue some people may not like the ideas of teaching machines to use our blood for their fuel.
Threadbare pallet? You were lucky to have a threadbare pallet! We had concrete blocks to sleep on and a 2 inch steel plate for blanket. Although the steel plate was useful as a heat sink for our transistor.
Your data is off. IPv6 means it is the 6th version of IP. We are now using IPv4. One of the differences is the amount of adresses. IPv6 has a 128 bit adress space. This means it has 3.40 x 10^38 adresses. We now have a 32 bit adress space: 4,294,967,296 adresses (but there are a lot of reserved adresses. 192.168.x.y can't be used for the internet for example. That's 256x256=65,536 adresses lost to the internet).
On the wiki page for IPv6 the other differences are explained.
No, it starts with the dragon stealing the princess. You, the good king, send a merry band of adventurers to the dragon to get back your beloved daughter. After a couple of years the adventurers return, but the princess has been spoiled and now weighs 250 Kg. The adventurers have a cartload of gold they got from slaying the dragon and a cartload of gold they got from you for returning the princess.
Why would you sue NVIDIA? If I buy a HP laptop I use HP's warranty and sue HP if they avoid paying up. They can claim money from Nvidia if they want, but the sale is between me and HP. Not Nvidia. It doesn't matter what Nvidia finds of similar value. IANAL
Holding (or scanning) thermal paper over tea is a bad plan: the hot vapours might damage it. I would advise to hold them at an appropriate horizontal distance.
And a foot is about as far as an old English motorbike will run after it stops leaking oil (they always leak, unless they have leaked the engine dry.) if I remember my uncles words correctly (he has a fair few pre-WW2 bikes).

Vacuum-seal the books and clean the library with a high pressure water cleaner. Or turn on the sprinklers.

Not if people have it shut off.

We don't use it because of the unacceptable price, due to high fuel costs.

They will run out of addresses anyway

They probably lost the first gen because someone sneezed.

That isn't as clear cut as it seems. A male friend of mine talks far more than the female friends I have and says far less.
I am very sorry. It was a joke. I personally know a couple of girl-nerds and the percentage even seems a bit low on /.
The internet, where the guys are guys, the girls are guys and the 10 year-olds are FBI agents!

If you use an aluminium heat sink without fan you don't even have to replace the fan!
