The reason Helium 3 is not being produced from Tritium is that storage and generation of tritium has been made politically impossible after a few accidents involving releases near the public. Oddly this doesn't seem to be mentioned on the wikipedia page. But google finds some of the coverage like this from LBL.
There is some rather damning (IMO) evidence of insider trading on this deal. Seems like a very short sighted move on HPs part since the market price for 3COM was 5.30/share.
If you are on a Mac 1Password is a wonderful app. It provides very similar functionality to the already mentioned Keepass but was much more stable and has an iPhone app. I also found it very frustrating that the various incarnations of Keepass kept changing formats and the like. 1Password, while not free, is well worth the money although you may want to wait for the new version to come out which has some interesting features.

The variations that are being discussed in the article are not all all outside the variations already observed in humans over that period of time. While our DNA has been reasonably set for ten thousand generations, as you say, the dominance of certain phenotypes varies with time and location. For instance many humans have dramatically different skin tones and facial structures. Variations similar to what is discussed in the article have occurred in a variety of places of the past 60 years (although mostly attributable to dietary changes).
Finally, the sample size used was 14000 (if the an above post is correct) and they are discussing evolutionary pressures which cause one group to be more able to produce offspring than others, thus the results may hold for a much larger sample (assuming that the phenotypes correlate with the underlying cause which may not be valid but could reasonably be).
There are still free sources of SSL certs. Mainly StartSSL. The process isn't as simple as Thawte was but it is still easy. Here is my howto to use it on a Mac.
Overall I disagree with all of your assertions:
1) Managing s/mime keys is just as annoying as PGP keys.
2) Not "everyone and their dog uses pgp keys" in fact your first statement about S/MIME seems to hold: Only larger corporations use PGP.
3) The meaning I want and convey with a S/MIME signature is that this email address has obtained a key from the key cert. This is very useful in showing people that you are not spoofing email addresses.
Just to be clear while there have been some correlations between super-nova and GRBs, they are not confirmed to be from any single source. None have occurred within our Galaxy during the modern era.
This is confusing to me: how do bank records not fall into the same classification? Clearly if my mail provider say they will give out my email to whomever they like then sure but most have a privacy policy which explicitly states that they will NOT do that unless compelled by law.
Europe has a vastly superior cell network than the US and on average consumers do not pay significantly more than US consumers. Furthermore US consumers are locked into a contract which ensures a steady income for the service providers. The major difference being populations density but this should not be an issue since the cell providers are given a subsidy to build out into rural areas.
I think that the real issue is not the Western consumer but the US corporation which extracts every last cent of value from the current consumer to give it to investors and or executives with little to no thought towards how the company will make money in the future. So while the US consumer may strive to keep prices low (as they should in a free market) the US corporations are taking the profit they have and investing nothing for the future.
Maybe they should get contracts stating their expectations for giving money? Otherwise they should recognize that they have now given essentially and endowment: the university will benefit over a longer period of time than just spending the money if they patent and license the technology they develop.
These are similar to slate shingles if my reading is correct. You cannot:
drop them off the truck on to the ground, crane them up to the peak of the roof and let them fold over it and sit there for a couple of days until the installers get there, walk on them, and every other abuse can commit against asphalt shingles because they can take it, after all.
with slate shingles. So while any random guy off the street cannot put on a slate roof there are quite a few business specializing in this in most areas of the USA. Since you have to make sure you align slate tiles to prevent leaking you need only design the solar connections to connect in broad regions where leaking would be prevented.
It is much more complex than that. The flux of 10^20 eV particles has NOT increased it is still very very low (like 1 per 100km^2 per century). Check out the Auger Southern observatory site for some info on those particles. What is being discussed in this article is much lower energies. These cause damage only as a side effect and virtually all space mission will not be effected by them. What can happen is that electronics which are not radiation hardened can be put into a funky state by the passage of a charged particle through a sensitive portion of the electronics causing a fault which could be unrecoverable. All NASA missions require radiation hardened electronics for any mission critical components and are thus much less likely to fail due to interactions with cosmic rays.
So is Communism. While I largely agree with your point modern international trading is more akin to a zero-sum game than the idealized system you envision. As an example the diamond trade in Africa: virtually non of the vast wealth is put where the resources are being taken from.
Have you spent any time trying to look up anything? It isn't my field but I have been seeing research results about ball lightning for a while now. If memory serves there was a Youtube video where it was created in a lab. The only thing as yet unknown (as far as I understand things) is how it behaves. Some reports make it sound like it floats around chasing people like something out of a horror movie; such behavior has not been explained nor observed.
I think you have misunderstood what Google Voice is. IT is NOT meant "to replace your existing phone service." As a matter of fact, you cannot use GV without an existing phone service. Furthermore, to use Google Voice to make a call it actually has to call you first then connect you to the person you where trying to call. Finally, why does Apple (or anyone other than myself) get a say in what I do with my existing phone service?
You do realize that is the software on the PC which has been criticized in the past for doing a very poor job of converting PDFs to Sony eReader format?
You are aware that police are able to do their jobs in many countries without access to firearms on a daily basis at all. And it is very inaccurate if not deceptive to say that requiring police officers to use non-lethal force would "harm the police." While I do not think police should be forced to go unprotected on raids and what not, they need to be better trained on how and when to use both lethal and non-lethal force. In a recent case in Ohio a police officer used his taser in groin area of a minor while the minor was already subdued. Such actions make it difficult for many of us to trust police with ANY weapons. The fact that many of the actions taken by such "dicks" are left unpunished by their fellow officers, or the law in general, makes it very difficult for the public to trust any of them and, I believe, much more difficult for them to do their jobs.
Basically I think we should pay our police better and demand they follow the letter of the law they are hired to enforce. But arguing that their job is hard so we should let them act illegally just unacceptable.
You may wan to forgive him. The article also states: "it also deleted the notes he had taken on the device for his homework." Which it later contradicts with the quote you made.
Google wants to push SMS. AT&T wants to screw customers over for SMS and has pull with Apple. You can't do push on Cydia and since you can't, then the already available Google Voice App on Cydia is all one needs. Google doesn't even need to drop their code onto Google code.
Maybe they should do SOMETHING with the money people pay them. You know like ensuring they have the rights to distribute the products they sell? If it was a electronics company that encouraged people to drop off their electronics at the back door of the Amazon shop to get sold, Amazon would get in big legal trouble if some of those items were stolen. The consumer would likely not.
Ever played a first person shooter with someone who was running on the server? Even if you lag was short they had a distinct advantage. Seems like these traders are doing the same thing.

I haven't seen any price estimates. Anyone know what it might go for? Looks great though.
