We should forget about terraforming Mars. We should try to terraform Earth before that. This huge tract of land that is Sahara could be restored with some advanced technology to the greener place it once was.
Are there any studies on the possibility of transforming Sahara?
The Proto-Indo-European language had numbers millenia before coins were invented, around 2700 years ago in Greece. Trade has been done for ages without any currency, but it's likely that it was trade which created the necesity of numbers.
The surpluses generated by the development of agriculture made trade possible. In Europe, the Neolithic societies (10,000 years ago) already engaged in trade with neighbouring communities and by the bronze age (starting 5,000 years ago), traders already traveled large distances, for instance bringing bronze objects from the Mediterranean to Britain.
The most important thing in the programming language is the name. A language will not succeed without a good name. I have recently invented a very good name and now I am looking for a suitable language. --Donald Knuth
Actually, the Icelanders have a rather high percentage of Irish genes!
Those vikings of Iceland loved to raid the nearby Ireland to get some fresh women for themselves.
Actually, a number of big powerplants is useful: there are plenty of energy-intensive plants (for instance, aluminium smelters and data centers) and have been built specifically near large energy sources, such as nuclear plants and hydro plants, to make use of the cheaper electricity.
It includes only "regular" air-bags, having an exemption from the "advanced" air-bag systems, which have been required in the United States since 1998. Such exemptions are common for compact roadsters, including Ferrari.
Reminds of Seinfeld on what men do to attract the females:
"That's why we're building bridges, climbing mountains, exploring uncharted territories. You think we want to do these things? Nobody wants to build a bridge. It's really, really hard! Designing rockets flying off into space. I guarantee you, every astronaut when he comes back from space, goes up to a girl and goes:" So, did you see me up there?"
Now, on a more serious tone, a picture which gives a sense of scale of the LHC:

Wikipedia says that "The collider is contained in a circular tunnel with a circumference of 27 kilometres (17 mi) at a depth ranging from 50 to 175 metres underground." and that it crosses the French-Swiss border in four points.
From my own experience on writing articles for Wikipedia, Britannica articles are not reliable and they are often full of misunderstandings, factual errors and a lot of bias. On some topics related international politics, they are very one-sided, often showing the bias of the editor who wrote the article. Many topics haven't been updated from the 1970s: for instance, you can see that the population statistics for some cities are from the 1970s or 1980s.
When a respected scientist says that something can be done, he's likely right. When a respected scientist says it can't be done, there's a good chance that he's wrong.:-)
Wikipedia's purpose is not to be a web directory, but to be an encyclopedia and it describes things that are notable enough to have an impact on the world. Your "small websites" certainly don't.
Not just 10 years, but up to 54 years, if he'd be found guilty of all 10 offenses. But there's a problem with his extradition: Romania and the United States have an extradition treaty from 1924, which includes a large variety of crimes, but not computer crimes.
Actually, the solution for more production is to reduce the size of the army. You use a lot of resources to keep a strong army abroad. And you also have to give tax cuts to keep the people happy.:-)
A co-worker activated the (mandatory per IBM security policies) hard disk encryption and when asked for the password, he entered it wrongly (twice!) and he couldn't access it. He spent several hours trying all the permutation of his password, but he was lucky and eventually got the correct one.:-)

This question makes no more sense than the question whether people would like to live in residential buildings with dozens of stories.

Really, I suppose it will be the same as it is now, just slightly more mainstream.

No, it's more like someone else's garden hose with a sign next to it: "Please, Feel Free to Serve Yourself".
I misread that as "it would be a hole in physics that our fat descendants could exploit."

You can do it without it being a violation of copyright: Parody is excepted from those copyright laws.
Allegedly, after reading the script, the thief exclaimed "This belongs in a museum!".
In some of the universes, you are the first, in other universes you are not.
so what? Communism was developed by two Germans (Karl Marx and Friedrich Engles), who wrote the The Communist Manifesto in 1848.

Negroponte is a name of Venetian origins, so maybe Doge would be appropriate. :-)
