An added benefit of using light rather than electricity is that it can be routed through a circuit with almost no interference in signal, and it eliminates the need to lay down large numbers of electrical wires.
There's no interference from electrical signals, but there is interference from light. And rather than needing a large number of electrical wires, this requires large numbers of light waveguides.
A product of the taxpayer? Or a product of the Queen? Who, indeed, paid for it?
In the discussion on Wikipedia there is mention that the museum said they didn't want to give the images to Wikipedia because they wanted the money from selling them. The museum wanting money is not relevant to the public domain status of the paintings. I don't know what UK law is regarding originality of copies of PD works.
You have it backwards. He wants to reduce nuclear weapons, not missiles.
So put all your satellites in one pile, use an Orion drive to launch them, and the number of nuclear bombs will be reduced during a cheap launch. (Well, the per-satellite launch figure will be cheap...)
Google cache doesn't include images, so of course you're still left waiting for the images from the original site. Fortunately, the original site's slashdotting ends instantly in astronomical time.
Oh, so checking the "no" box and clicking on the big "Save my preferences" button on the page which appears during IE7 startup isn't enough to save preferences? That's an odd user interface.
I'm hardly surprised. For months, each (occasional) time that I start IE7 it asks me if I want to change my default search engine, and refuses to store my negative answer.
already a thriving industry mining bat shit (guano) for fertilizer and explosives
OK. Maybe trying to use that for storing hydrogen isn't a good idea.
(And what's up with the awful horizontal bars within comments and other recent clutter?)

But the stegasaurus Twitter comments about this are very insightful!

This will be helpful the next time I have a COBOL package which I want tracked.
You're right, they will never guess them.
They will look them up.
Worlds of Warcraft.
Does it now need a soft pillow? I'll fetch the Spanish Inquisitors...

I'm a pilot and had to fly around your 105,600-foot cliff, you insensitive clod!
People are killing them because they can't escape? If only there were a way to find a route to safety.
Bartender, I need two gallons of beer for the road!
What, now we have to read the article?
Well, just put the missiles under the Orion drive. Problem solved.
Just play the role of someone who is skilled and of high level.

But then they can afford a bigger car. Then there will be another idiot on the road in a big car, and it will matter to the rest of us.

It's useful for dodging trolls.

If only there were a way to watch some pirate movies quickly.

Cow catchers have been accepted by our civilization for a long time, so just put a cow catcher on the front of your electric SUV.
No, the piratical application involves ship-sized receptacles, cutlasses, and ropes to fetch fuel.
Nah, leave the clock component on it. Digesting a cow will power the clock for quite a long time.
Did RTFM.
Good book.
Yeah, really old. I've been hearing of closing Pandora's box for decades.
