George Lucas will need to re-edit again his movies with up-to-date CGI.
Volume, hence mass if density is similar, hence gravity, is proportional with the cube of the radius. But gravity is also proportional with the inverse square of the distance from the center. Therefore gravity on a planet surface is proportional with its radius: R^3/R^2 = R.
What is the use in increasing the percentage of a free energy source converted into electricity?
The factor that matters is the panel production price, in watts per dollar. Along with life duration, total pollution during production, etc. But not watts per candela!
Do you take into account deaths caused by uranium extraction in Africa, where little caution is taken regarding nearby population? Do you take into account deaths that may be caused by nuclear waste during the next 100,000 years?
As an European, let me say that the president of a democracy should not have a list of people he wants dead. Arrested, maybe, although such a list should better be established by Justice, but not dead.
some criminalize belief (like the French law preventing people from saying
No belief is criminalized (how could this be enforced?), neither simply "saying" anything. What is forbidden in many European countries is hate speech using mass media (newspapers, radio, TV, internet) because they are essentially one-way : you could say to many people any horror based on false facts or twisted reasoning without anyone being alowed to contradict you.
Protests started in Greece earlier than in Spain. Not to mention Iceland. In fact the US are just the last ones joining this global movement. But be welcome, fellows!
THERE IS a nuclear reactor on the site, along with a storage facility for highly radioactive wastes from others reactors, research facilities and plants producing nuclear fuel for civilian and military applications. The part of the site concerned is dealing with low radioactive waste, but THERE IS a risk of leak. Probably not really dangerous, nothing compared with Chernobyl or Fukushima, but hey. The site is known for recent radioactive leaks, of small quantities, that the authority first DENIED.
You know the difference between *selection* and *insertion of genes from another species*, don't you? For example, selecting at each generation of a given cereal the seeds from the individual plants that performed best with less water IS NOT THE SAME THING as inserting in said cereals some genes from catus or camel.
The problem with children is that they still have to train their brain to match eyes convergence and focus, while with 3D displays the focus is always on the screen, whatever the technology. So no, auto-stereoscopic displays such as the coming Nintendo 3DS should not be used by children below the age of 2 or 3. And for adults, it is a cause of eyes fatigue.
Actually he used social engineering to get the Yahoo address and the answer to the linked "secret question" (date and place of birth) of an employee of twitter, so he got access to his e-mails. There he discovered that this employee used the same type of password for all his accounts (gmXXX for gmail, twXXX for twitter etc.), then he could log into twitter as an admin...
The security hole is therefore in Yahoo's system for forgotten password (too easy question), and in Twitter's policy for employee's passwords (which, since that, has changed).

In space no one can hear you boom.

By definition, a planet has cleared its orbit of other bodies of similar or larger size other than its own satellites.
With your definition Earth would not be a planet, because there are more than 8000 near-Earth asteroids.

How do we justify the cost of putting a person on the moon?
If I remember well it was justified by a political competition, which is not very far from religion.

4% of a free energy is still infinite efficiency.
The true question is the same as for other solar cells : what are the production price and the total power output during the life span of these cells?
Linux is the West's OS? Where is it stated in the GPL?
And secure it against who?
What's wrong with you, USA?
Ours?
Is Linux yours?

Venezuela is not a dictatorship.
No it can't -- excepted in bombs.
And it remains dangerous for hundreds of thousands years.
The ruling is on "abus de position dominante" in french. Thus yes, you're perfectly correct.

We have some serious historical reasons for that.

I have always been told that the same stands for cars. And I guess it is also the case for every energy consuming device.

The last time I checked, Mexico was in America. Northern America, to be more precise.

I guess he meant that he doesn't want his GPS linked with anything that could send his position to someone.
