According to Sealand's official website, the platform sustained heavy damage by fire last summer. From the desperate tone of the account, I gather that Sealand might be very close to uninhabitable by now. That might explain the decision to sell it off, more than the old age of the founder.
remember : you hear mosquitoes buzzing before you even see them. Unless these guys design a totally silent drone, it will be quickly found and got rid of.
... Not to RUN Duke Nukem Forever, of course, just to run the development environment at a decent speed, so that we may have a chance to actually play the finished game (or at least a decent beta, or even a playable pre-alpha, for christ's sake) before we die.
Well, the ozone layer is not "recovering" because it was never damaged in the first place. Like they say in TFA, the stratospheric ozone status is influenced by large scale factors such as sun light, atmosphere temperature and chemicals introduced by volcanoes.
Ozone is chiefly created in the hot and well lit tropical atmosphere, from where it conveyed natural up to the poles. Ozone is a very unstable chemical which is rapidly eliminated.
The place where the famous "ozone hole" is observed is on top of Antartica, during the winter, when the atmosphere, cold (it's basically night during 6 months), is isolated from the rest of the world by the Antartica vortex. The ozone is then naturally depleted until spring breaks, which will open atmospheric circulation again and fill the "hole" in a few weeks at most.
The "ozone hole" is therefore a perfectly natural phenomenon, and no amount of Montreal-like measures will change that. No wonder those predictions show completely wrong, which is in essence the really important message of the article.
Maybe we can go back to using CFCs now than the hysteria is over, for CFCs are really a chemical wonder, stable and with unmatched thermodynamic properties.
Is there any mention of the shutting down of web sites in US for "supporting terrorism", or the impossibility from coutries like France (though the country of RSF) to access websites with revisionist content, due to court rulings forcing ISPs to ban these websites from their customers reach?
RSF seems very eager to point at censorship in "dictatorships" (though RSF's own list of such countries is in itself subject to dispute) but at the same time seems to forget about that very same kind of censorship is occuring in "democratic" countries as well.
That attitude has a name, it is called double standard. Or hypocrisy, if you prefer.
... If by any chance my appartment electricity counter does not explode, it's going to cost me more in electricity just to keep the damn' ting running than I can afford.
So, what would be the highest AFFORDABLE capacity storage ?
(I'm currently using a Buffalo TeraStation, a bit slow but not full yet)
There is a slight problem : Hubble is a reflector (mirror), not a refractor (lenses), so if you turn it around, you will see Hubble's butt, not Xena's. It might be huge as well, but probably not as exciting.

Well, Unless DVD can contain more that 40 GB of data (BluRay ?), there is a possibility of overflow in submitter's calculations.
My guess is that it's more like the quivalent of 600 DVD per second which has been transmitted.

Millions of years ? Don't know about the medieval warm period and the vicking colonization of Groenland ?
'nuff said.
I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit.
It's the only way to be sure.
Can't it start doing the laundry all by itself?

Why are there so many codecs in the first place ?
Most people are not "artist" enough to appreciate that "innovative" brown...
Back then, it was called Murray and me, Mom and me, and the generic name was "Biotoon". Impressive it was.

Their DNA? They want to clone them? How absurd! That would be a copyright violation!

So, are you implying that Sony's gender is female?
Yes, but there is no spoon...

Actually one of the other articles on that same page, The Real Spiderman deals with that topic.

Time for a regime change in space, let's liberate aliens and bring them democracy.
Oh yessssss, come and sue Linux, Ballmer. The chair you're going to be thrown back at the face is not going to be a "micro", nor a "soft" one !

To make matters more humiliating for "freedom fries" american chauvinists, the metric system originated in... france.
Now they live in Lawyer offices.
If it hadn't US troops would not be all over the pipeline areas.
If I set up a proxy accessible through SSL, with user authentication, isn't it equivalent ?
