Firefox 64bit - now capable of completely glooping 2 exbibytes! At current rate of leaking, this means you now only need to restart one a day! (Warning, depending on speed of swap device, Firefox 64bit may take more than a day to restart.)
30km exclusion zone. 30,000m=98425ft So the area is 30434239700ft^2 The plant's on the coast, so call half as land, and say average coverage of 75ft^2 for a gallon. So 202894931 gallons. At $160 dollars a pop, with no discount for bulk purchase, that's about $32.5billion.
I've got a LeafLabs Maple. And a Cortino. And an ARMimte Pro. They're all ARM processors on an Arduino footprint board.(There's also Xduino, but I haven't tried one.)
The Maple aims to be as Arduino-like as possible; even to the extent that you should eventually be able to copy running code from the Arduino IDE, paste into the very similar Maple IDE, hit compile and upload and you're good. It's not quite there yet, but if you're just developing for the Maple it's nice now.
The Cortino is a much more traditional embedded system. It's got an uploader. (Windows executable only.) And, well, that's it. Find your own compiler and runtime. I think I remember finding that the upload protocol was something standard, but I ended up using OpenOCD and soldering in the JTAG header. One brick wall of a learning curve, but I was so pleased at getting it to blink morse!
The ARMite PRO is the Arduino-footprint offering in a range of boards. They are preloaded with a BASIC interpreter, but solder on a jumper and you can upload via a FTDI USB serial cable. I think it's just the same as the Arduino lilypads.
Fun to play with; I need to get an Xduino now!
The original scale was related to the log_10 of the vibration amplitude. So a mag 3 shakes 10 times as far as a mag 2. But to shake 10 times as far takes more than 10 times the energy, 31 times from a post further up the thread. Also, pure measure of the amplitude saturates. (1km vibrations? Er...)
There is a system to cope with this. For many issues the voters are only marginally impacted, and have little motivation to become expert on the many ins and outs the situations. So the voters have historically banded together and hired one guy to do this for them. This representative is selected democratically; and, at least nowadays, is then given massive amounts of cash by lobbyists to ignore the voters completely.

The Gates Foundation is pushing AMCs, which have come in for a wary reception.
Bullets may not be effective against ideas, but swords did quite a number on the idea of Catharism.
MySQL has been faster that PostgreSQL for years, it doesn't have as many features, but it is **fast** !!
/dev/null is even faster, but I wouldn't use that for data storage, either.
NB, whilst there is no February 31st, there may well need to be a February 30th, 4000. (Wednesday, fwiw).
Yep, that's on my Macbook.
Don't forget the 10 minute battery life and knee-searing temperature if you tried to use Firefox on a laptop. Went to Chrome and won't be going back.
Maybe this will put a stop to the rare steak nonsense.

What private, wireless, encrypted mesh networking is available that can do anything approaching the internet (say, 1200 baud)? Links, please!

Also small-scale solar+wind power systems and parts.
As to the cost, try octave - mostly matlab-ish, but GPL.

We're a market economy. Money is the grease in that engine.
Yes, but we've got an engine that's all grease and no metal...
Dunno about GoDaddy, but I'll second what he said about 1&1.
OK, it's got a way to go, but OpenSCAD is a start.
Honey's not a classic antibiotic; it doesn't have chemical or biochemical effects, but physically works by osmotic crenelation of the bacteria.
Both code and building things: I'm getting into CNC.
Only when constipated.
Yep, being edible and even tasty worked really well for the passenger pigeon and the dodo.

Right on the money. Here's the detail.
