The actual cost to build a nuclear power plant would be a secondary consideration if it weren't for the likewise insane regulatory requirements, which if you ask me are slanted disproportionately at nuclear power. Ergo, the sign wavers won, and sanity lost.
I disagree sir. Aside from the fact that nuclear energy is heavily subsidised, and would not even be profitable if it ran on its own, you can't really call the regulatory requirements insane, when potential accidents could have such a massive impact as Chernobyl's.
Matter can only move one way through the wormhole. (Energy, like radio waves, is bidirectional) So if they dial a gate address, they could bring air from the ship to the planet. They'd have to be ON the planet, and dial the ship, before they could bring air from the planet to the ship. And it would not just flow through, since they've dialed in the past to ocean worlds, and vacuums, and there's no influx due to pressure differentials. As someone else said, the gate doesn't allow for that. They'd have to bring it back somehow. (Pressurised containers?)
The Nintendo Wii sells by the mega-truckload. The Wii Fit and various others, sell in a the standard truckload.
As an overweight Wii-game loving freak, I can tell you that Wii-Fit sits quietly on the floor, gathering dust, just like any other fitness product I've bought over the years.

I was going to buy one, but luckily you also included a page on "items you will need". I'm afraid I'm not one of those geeks who owns a soldering iron, nor do I have any interest in buying one and learning how to use it.
I could be wrong, but you might sell more of them if no soldering was required by the buyer.
Lookit, the Americans and Western Europeans did some bad things, and then we got over it! We moved on! We entered the 21st Century!!
Yay the 21st century! Where we legalised torture, and turned a blind eye to torturers. Where doctors who perform legal services can be shot while serving as an usher in church. Where gay couples can have their marriage rights taken away from them.
Now, which country MIGHT I stand a chance of making some change in... the western democracy where I live, or some Sharia-ridden country where I am lucky enough NOT to live?
I know... I'll go after the guys living *over* *there*. Otherwise, I might actually change something here, and that could make YOU uncomfortable.
maybe, we could get over this notion that guilt is hereditary and stop asking people to apologise for things that were done by others often before they were born.
Fantastic.
Do you want to tell the Jews they can forget that whole Holocaust thing?
Kevin Smith (the Clerks guy) has a weekly podcast called Smodcast. It's quite successful, in terms of downloads, nominations for awards, etc... But they have had real difficulty getting and keeping a sponser for the show. And he's pretty famous and well connected.
"even the current, modern day standpoint where (the extent of) evolution is still debated today."
No, it's not debated today. The debate is over, evolution is a fact.
It is still denied today, by some very ignorant people for a variety of reasons. Religious, dogmatic, political, etc... (Not just in America, by the way)
But there is no debate with these screaming ignoramuses.
I'd imagine it's impossible for the average user of a Windows machine to avoid automatic downloading of updates, which can also automatically reboot your machine even if you're in the middle of work but happen to have left the machine alone a bit.

Welcome to America, where the motto is "Can you dumb it down some more?"
Wasn't that the supposed function of the Esc key?
They won't implement a STOP button for the OS, because they can't even implement the stop button ("X") for a frakkin web browser.

You can't shoot the messenger because the message he delivers says something you don't like.
But THIS ... IS ... SPARTA!!
So I think you can.

I don't think you can make getting fit, fun.
the internet will be made of a series of these tubes, and we will remember the wise words of the prophet Ted Stevens.

Virtually any web search about the American listening station at Menwith Hill will give you all the info you need.
It took me 4 days to drive from Boston to Seattle
I know what you mean, I used to have a car like that. Took me 4 days to cross Belgium.
If they each have a tiny self destruct device onboard? What could possibly go wrong there?

Excellent point sir.

Yes, but does the average Joe know that? That was my point.
Try asking a few average computer users.
And I still fail to see how limiting CO2 emissions in SOME countries will actually solve the Climate Change problem....
No single rain drop thinks it is responsible for the flood.
Save yourself the trouble. Pay me a nominal fee, and I'll flip a coin^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H make the determination.
(And if you pay me a little bit extra, I'll be sure the answer is heads^H^H^H^H^H in your favour.)

Quick point : In your kneejerk desire to bash "socialism" you have misquoted the alleged quote.
Have you heard of BitTorrent? :)
"Downloading songs isn't, if you aren't profiting form it."
Depends on your locale, doesn't it? Not all laws are the same in every location.
They would be in violation of UK privacy laws *and* lying through their teeth if this denial is false.
Wow. Maybe they should consider standing for Parliament.
