Even if they are not tidally locked, the day night cycle will be the composition of its orbital period and rotational period. For small orbits, that could dramatically affect the duration of the day.

Digital movies are filmed in "super high def".
The fact that display technology has regressed since the advent of 1080p LCD TV's is not lost on me. 10 years ago I had a CRT monitor that could handle twice that resolution.
You started with a legitimate question and then followed with bullshit.
What do women want in games? The answer is the same as what men want in games. Different things for different women and satisfying one can often mean offending another.
That isn't an issue of being white. It is about being male. Expectations and sexual discrimination cuts both ways at the bottom of society. Men are expected to succeed and work their way out of anything and will most often be turned down for assistance without regard to their actual circumstance. Women may get assistance, but they will be actively discouraged from getting out of poverty on their own.
I have experience with some of that. After my parents divorced, my mother got on welfare. They illegally counted student loans and tuition assistance as income, denying us food stamps, medical care, and rental subsidies. When she used those student loans to feed the family anyway, they tried to take away us kids for abandonment because she dared to seek an education instead of finding a new husband to support her.
Nuclear is perfectly safe in the same way that drain cleaner is perfectly safe. Follow the directions and keep it out of reach of children. You probably don't want to store it in your fridge in a koolaid jug.
These old plants were meant to be retired and replaced with newer ones. If we had been building new nuclear plants, these aging and decaying plants could have been put offline and shut down safely decades ago.
Japan does have a nuclear weapons program. It is just sleeping. If/when the US withdraws its naval forces from the defense of Japan, perhaps due to pressure from China, japan can be mass producing nuclear weapons in just a few months.
The big advancements in personal computing these last few years have been mostly been in graphics cards. Though density has improved, the benefits have been going more towards power efficiency than towards raw speed.
A lot of people will argue that the byte code was then interpreted rather than compiled. Some people still insist that even JIT isn't really compiling.
I am an expert with javascript at this point, and I can do amazing things with it. But that does not mean that it does not suck. No good IDE's, debugging and validation are a pain. The worst part of all is that its GUI is tied the crapfest that is the modern web browser running any one of a number of almost but not quite entirely unalike implementations of the HTML DOM.
"Sixty mutations may sound like a lot, but according to the international team of geneticists behind the new research, it is actually fewer than expected. 'We had previously estimated that parents would contribute an average of 100 to 200 mistakes to their child"
Don't worry, most parents are going out of their way to make up the difference and then surpass it.
Amazing how completely forbidding all research into a technology because it contains the word "nuclear" tends to result in making it economically infeasible.
I do have that book. It is more of a murder mystery that takes place 3 thousand years in the future. I don't remember much of an energy crisis in the book, only overpopulation and urban distopia.
Nuclear power only shifts the energy crisis 50 years down the road if you use reactors that toss out 98% of their fuel and you ignore the most common nuclear fission fuel on earth (thorium). Use a feeder/breeder reactor and the uranium will last for hundreds of years. Utilize thorium and we are looking at a thousand years or more. Utilize a fair amount of solar power, and you can easily double or triple that (and that won't run out for a couple billion years).
It isn't an eternal solution, but anyone planning for more than a couple thousand years of societal and technical advancement is looking way to far ahead.
Road wear is relative to the weight of the vehicle, so your 12 MPG SUV causes more damage per mile than the 40 MPG compact. That makes the gas taxes used for road maintenance more fair (at least in that respect).
If we use responsible nuclear power*, we have plenty of power to uplift the entire worlds standard of living for the foreseeable future. There is more than enough energy there.
*Responsible nuclear power includes thorium and feeder/breeder reactors that produce manageable waste as well as utilizing that giant nuclear furnace in the sky.

Really? At 28, non-smoker, non-drinker, not over weight, they wanted $1100 a month for personal insurance when got laid off.

Obama and the democrats are slightly less in favor of serfdom than the republicans.

Peta has two meanings. 1 is a very large number prefix, the other is a bunch of animal "loving" hippies.

In the mid 1990's, more or less.
Same for Java, but the JVM happens to be a lot more mature than the CLR and generally runs faster.

Also consider that a lot of fun activities like drinking and getting laid are highly illegal in bum fuck nowhere middle east.

More importantly, why the hell is IMMIGRATION CONTROL doing trying to bring a "criminal" INTO the country?
Because he used the past tense phrase, and they still say linux (Android) is insecure.
This power wheel toy is a lot closer to a Sword than an aerial drone.

No but he was elected governor of Florida last year.

If they want to do mileage based taxation, just do an odometer check when you get your tag renewed.
