You jest, but the solution to keeping the ice open is simple: just keep the traffic flowing. Right now there's hardly any traffic going all the way around Siberia. But if they build it, they will come, particularly if the temperatures are a little warmer and there's a team of powerful ice breaker ready for when currents push the ice to close again (which is how it happens, not simply by refreezing overnight).

What do you mean. If it's in a restaurant, you are paying the chef for the food. Otherwise where do you see recipes ? In cooking books or magazines. Which you pay for. It's not a case of something for nothing.
There are some high profile chefs who have complained about having their recipes 'stolen' and are pushing for copyright on recipes. Never mind that they wouldn't be allowed to boil an egg if that was the case as the recipe would belong to some copyright troll...
I'm in the same situation, and have had a donation box on my site since 1996. People used to give regularly at the begining, but I think the last donation was 3 years ago. I think one of the reasons is that there's no easy way to do that. It's paypal, but then you need to create an account, give a lot of info, your bank account, etc. Or use the Amazon box which required a customer account and no longer even exist.
I think the web missed a crucial step: integrating standardized micropayments in the browsers themselves. It was debated in the 90s, but nothing came of it. If you had mp3s distributed with a tag that showed up in your music player as a 'donate to this artist' button and then went away once its done, or movies with the same, or even websites, I think the web and music industry would have a different way, maybe not better for the web, but certainly for music.
What are you, a shill for pharma corps ? How do you want the average Joe to know if he should take drug X or drug Y for his problem ? It's a medical choice, not something that gets decided by whom has the best PR team. Not every limit to capitalism is censorship. And there are many countries where advertisement of medical drugs is illegal.
Advertisement is not communication. It it blatant attempt at manipulation. And it is expensive. A drug should be chosen for its ability to cure said medical problem. Not because of the pretty lady in the video.
they can't even *speak* about their products without government permission
And it is a VERY good thing that advertisement of medical products is illegal in my countries (yes, more than one): this way no money is wasted on advertisement, that needs to be repaid in the sale price of the product.
That phenomena says nothing about how the universe exists or possibly came about.
That wasn't your question. Any anyway, yes, it does. Random fluctuation in the base state of the vacuum are suspected in the birth of the universe. Well, a bit more complicated than that. The rest of your post is troll level 5.
The uncertainty principle is a very base of quantum theory and you cannot pretend it's not valid. It introduces random chance into every chemical process, hence into biology at every step. A direct consequence is that you have random mutations in DNA during meiosis. Hence individuals are slightly different from one generation to the next (your sons are not all identical, right?). Add to this natural selection which is just a fancy way to say only cells / organisms which do not have deleterious mutations survive. Lather rinse and repeat every 20 minutes for 2 billion years and you get dinosaurs, influenza, us and more. All the rest are just details. Enough evidence for you ?
Exercise for the Christians. When Pilate asks Jesus "QUID est veritas?", what does Jesus answer? He doesn't. The answer is correct.
Amusing, but a perfect example of why the people who actually 'do' things lump theology, philosophy and a few other activities under the umbrella of 'bullshit'.
Yeah, I've used Calibre in the past for other things. But if you can't download Amazon books, then what use is it ? And can it put a pdf/ePub onto a Kindle ? How ? Not having a Kindle, I'm curious.
I've heard theologians claim that scientists are arrogant because they want to know the world. But I find somthing a lot more arrogant: people who absolutely want a reason for their existence. You just happened by chance, get over it.
We have problems with electronics not evacuating their heat well enough through convective transfer at 3000m altitude already, and the pressure is only 2/3 of sea level.
I've been wanting to buy an ereader for a long time but was wondering about all the things you just wrote. Kindle doesn't read pdf/ebook and other formats for free files (from Project Gutemberg for instance). Other e-readers can't purchase books that are licenced for the Kindle only. I don't want to read on my phone or a bright tablet with the kindle software. What is the solution ? It shouldn't be that hard !
Read the other comments: that's highly inefficient. Compare the file sizes, then diff the files until the 1st differing byte. No need to checksum two Tb files if the 1st bytes are different !
...hope that's the classic correlation is not causation...

Which is why drug tests for athletes are incredibly intrusive: someone is watching them pee. I I don't mean watching them sit on the loo or turn their back, no, they have to stand one meter or so away and watch the graphic details the whole time. Because there's been several stories of cyclists putting a condom with somebody else's urine in their ass (!!!) and using a tube to get it out at the right time. No shit, drugs will make you do the crasiest shit.

One of the very first argument I had with my then girlfriend (and now wife) was that she'd never heard of The Clash. I was "that's not possible" and she got pissed at me for claiming that I could tell what she knew better than her. The argument ended when I put their most famous songs on the player: "Oh! But I've heard that before..."

To be honest, they've only been at war with Turkey since about the time Homer wrote about it.
In free countries, the laws that do get passed make sense and the punishments fit

Or happened on purpose as the case may be. Without evidence one way or another, there's no point to taking a stand on the issue.
What do you mean ? The uncertainty principle of quantum theory is not enough for you ? That's the root of all 'chance'.
