It is possible to ban a company from selling it's products in your country. If the US and the EU threaten with that the company will gladly pay a very high fine. As for throwing the CEO and the council in jail: it's a bad plan due to fall guys. See some enlightening posts further up in the thread.
In Europe: Yes, the Pirate bay. Dunno about the US, but here the source of the bits are not important (unless you beat up an old lady to get them). The key is what matters.
If my sources are correct you are at 290 days and counting. As far as I know Cambodja is the recordholder at the moment, with 353 days (I guess they didn't want to go for a full year). There have been some comments like: "The partners of the politicians should withhold sex (as done in Kenia) until a new government is formed."
The modulation frequency is not what defines the skin depth. The 217 Hz modulation frequency is irrelevant. The lowest relevant frequency is the 850 MHz (in US and Canada) signal frequency. Read Microwaves101 on skin depth. Or read the wiki page which is a bit simpler but not as complete. The fact that the signal frequency and the modulation frequency is what counts isn't directly told here, but if you read it you may find it appear as bright as daylight.
First some constraints. I don't think this would work well for a laptop; typing on a surface without tactile feedback sucks compared to a real keyboard. So it is limited to tablet-type applications.
I'd say a decent tactile keyboard is very possible. This guy just loves touchscreens. Look at a modern laptop keyboard. The keys are not high, and arranged in rows. You could place hinges in between the rows and have the keyboard roll up with your screen. Since the keys themselves would touch the back of the screen there is no denting in the delicate and flexible screen. But then you couldn't use it the way he did: completely flat with as a drawing screen.
The fact that humans are normally not geeks doesn't change the fact that Apple buyers are normally not geeks. It is more of a confirmation, although it does lower the usability of the statement.
Renting the IPv4 addresses will spur the switch to v6. If an ISP has to pay for each IP address they will make sure all new equipment is v6 compatible. The releasing of v4 addresses will create a bit of breathing room until the real switch.
Nonetheless I think it's somewhat evil and it'll never work.
That is a (probably educated) guess at the internals of the next Xbox. The CPU of the current Xbox is an 733 MHz BGA Mobile Celeron. Simple i386. If I would guess I'd say the CPU listed in the link you provided was a wish by the author. Since a PowerPC isn't i386 compatible Microsoft would have a lot of rewriting to do and a lot of risk of bugs. I would guess they'd insert an Atom or AMD's answer Conesus (or what the thing is called nowadays) and a decent GPU.
The Loremo EV uses 6 kWh per 100 km. Of course this is a factory estimate, so you should double that for real world, but you'd have to mishandle it a lot to get to 80. 6 kWh in 5 minutes is 72 kW. My power outlets (three phase) are 480 V, so that would mean 150 A. Still a lot, not something my home could handle, but you wouldn't charge it high speed at home. You'd go to a "gas" station, conveniently positioned at a crossing between power lines and highways, with a large capacitor bank. At home you'd use a slow system: There is no reason I couldn't draw 3x 25A at 480V at night (when electricity is cheaper). This would charge the banks in 2 hours. Most houses in NL have 3x 16A readily available. This would charge it in 3.125 hours.
Slightly offtopic: Has anyone a clue as to what happened to Loremo? Their site seems offline and the last I heard was they needed investors. Is it a (long running) scam?
There is a youtube file I have not seen here: The Origin of Life - Abiogenesis - Dr. Jack Szostak. I am not a biologist, nether a chemist and not good in statistics, so I am not the person to evaluate this, but it seems to answer some of your questions.
Assume there were 2 equal size tribes: one with conscience (and revulsion against killing in the tribe) and one without. Both have a default form of otherisation (the tribe over the hills are subhumans and must bow to our superiority). The "with" tribe will have some trouble at the beginning, in a small fight a person may be killed. They react by kicking him out of the tribe in disgust. The "without" tribe will have the same trouble, but doesn't kick the person out. There is no reason not to kill someone over food/shelter/because they look at you wrong, so they weaken themselves. The "with" tribe detects the presence of the "without" tribe (those subhumans) and claim their land. Most likely they get into a fight. The "with" tribe is larger, and since the "without" tribe are subhumans there are no troubles in killing them. Thus the tribe with conscience and revulsion wins and gets to repopulate the area. Note that most of the killings are done
because the victim has done serous harm in the eyes of the murderer
The victim is the subject of "otherisation" and thus a subhuman in the eyes of the killer. Think Amerikan soldiers in Iraq/Afghanistan
The murderer is a psychopath and thus does not react with revulsion to things like the Holocaust and the Tsunami (although they may fake it). Think Saddam Hussein. For a more interior perspective watch Dexter (I have no certainty as to the accuracy of that TV series. It seems to fit with my limited knowledge of psychopaths)
Radiation mainly damages cells by "shooting" out part of the DNA. There are systems in place to repair this and they only fail in a small percentage of cases (think 99% gets repaired). Of those cases the majority of the damages is relatively inconsequential (junk DNA or telomeres) (about 99%). In the other cases something important gets shot of. Usually this causes the cells to die (no problem, you have enough cells left) (around 90% of the cases the cell dies), but in a small fraction of cases it transforms the cells to cancer cells or other very important problems. All other ways radiation damages cells has a lesser chance of happening. If you want to repair all the DNA damage with nanomachines, you'd have to repair probably thousands of problems a day at default background radiation (for you can't figure out which ones will become cancer cells. You could increase efficiency by a factor 100 by only repairing what the present systems miss but you'd still have a lot of things to repair). We do know the main way radiation damages cells. The technology isn't there yet.
An important question is: could current systems be upgraded to an extra cooling system based on sterling engines that can produce energy from the waste heat. Building new nuclear plants is way to expensive to do overnight.
For a moment ignoring the fact that the batteries worked and the diesels failed. Next step is: Put them as high as possible, so no water can reach them. A storm blows them off the roof into the outer containment shell... People shout: We should put them in the basement where no storm can blow them off. A new tsunami, etc.

My bank password and signing code are different each time. A keylogger wouldn't help to get useful passwords

Just download the NIC drivers from the internet. It's what Windows tries so it's bound to work!

Copper or aluminum lined with heat-conductive paste to get the heat out is just to messy.

That's probably why the article shows the XKCD radiation chart.
ARIN has no say over these. They are legacy blocks (allocated before 1997, the founding of ARIN). See http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.xml
Since these blocks are legacy ARIN doesn't have any say over them. They were not allocated by ARIN, but were claimed before that http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.xml

woosh
I am sorry. I seem to have messed up.
That's impossible. Imagine two people saying "I want these diamond mines all for myself". Do you really believe this doesn't happen?

2+2=5, for sufficiently large values of 2: 2.4 (rounded to 2) + 2.4 (rounded to 2) = 4.8 (rounded to 5)
