You seem to be equating protestant Christianity with evangelical Christianity with literal biblical interpretation. Don't do that.
Most Protestant Christians in America do not take the creation story as literal and do not believe that you can add-up the ages of the people in the bible to conclude that the earth is ~6,000 years old. As a non-denominational Protestant Christian, I've attended Nazarene, Adventist, Lutheran, Baptist, Presbyterian, and Episcopal churches. So far as I know, none of them took literal interpretations of the creation story. I believe they all agree with the Catholics on this topic.
Regarding evangelicals: The term merely means people who believe in the gospels and follow Jesus. That's really all Christians, so the term doesn't mean much. But it definitely doesn't mean "fundamentalist" or "literal interpretation."
Based on my limited experience, the telecom and internet at these assisted living and nursing facilities is inhumanely bad.
We are in an era where someone with no technical knowledge should be able video chat with their grandchildren. Incoming calls just requires touching a screen which is easier than picking-up a phone. Making outgoing calls is easier than dialing a telephone since there are no phone numbers: you just get a list of people on the screen, with their picture, and you touch the picture to call them. Yet everyone treats this as though it requires a computer science degree.
I tried to set this up for my wife's great grandmother, but the otherwise modern facility had no Wifi and no 3G. We could barely get a cell signal of any kind in her room. The only internet in the facility was on a few dedicated computers. Cell reception was just fine outside though.
The biggest problem I see here is if the student body decides to hold a protest or something. It could draw lots of attention and potentially give the cause undeserved credibility. In theory, this could happen no matter where they hosted it, but college activism makes this seem a more likely place for it to happen.
The WattUp router uses radio frequency (RF) transmissions to send up to 4 watts of power i..a mobile device can be charged at the same rate as if it were plugged into a wall socket
What is truly amazing here is that this 4W charger can charge devices at the same rate as my 5 and 10 watt chargers! The last generation of phones use 5V 1A = 5 watt chargers, while new phones and tablets use 5V 2A = 10 watt chargers. So no, this 4 watt device won't charge them at the same rate.
Dr Tabakow carried out an initial trial involving three paralysed patients who each had a small amount of OECs injected in their damaged spinal cords. While none showed any significant improvement, the main purpose of the study was achieved, showing that the treatment was safe.
Prof Wagih El Masri said: "Although the clinical neurological recovery is to date modest, this intervention has resulted in findings of compelling scientific significance."
Darek Fidyka, who was paralysed from the chest down in a knife attack in 2010, can now walk using a frame.
So the doctors think that going from paralyzed to walking is modest and insignificant? Were they not talking about the same patient? Something doesn't make sense here.
Don't criminals already use encryption? Am I supposed to, out of pure love for the government, not encrypt my devices so that if I ever become a criminal the FBI can more easily find me? Wouldn't that just make me a more likely target for crimials? Or perhaps the FBI is suggesting that companies should not provide encryption by default, causing customers will choose a competitor's product instead? This is silly: the only reason to start this campaign is if the end goal is to convince legislators to make encryption illegal.
Some years ago I had a wired router that did what the summary describes: if one computer ran bittorrent, nobody else could do anything. I assumed that the router split the traffic by demand, or by number of total connections. This makes sense up to a point. I assumed routers have gotten better since then because I haven't had the problem in a while. It seems like a more fair algorithm should be implemented.

In 2001, Alfred Nobel's great-grandnephew, Peter Nobel (b. 1931), asked the Bank of Sweden to differentiate its award to economists given "in Alfred Nobel's memory" from the five other awards. This request added to the controversy over whether the Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel is actually a "Nobel Prize".[16]

Although truthfully, if I created a prize called the "Best Slashdot post in memory of Alfred Nobel" and paid for it separately, I can see why one would be hesitant to call it a Nobel prize, no matter who gave it or when. I wonder what power Nobel's will has today? Does someone have the power to actually pay for the prize out of Nobel's money, or to change the rules he laid out?
Are you saying that that the only motivation for social justice or environmentalism is to avoid guilt? Yes, only people with disposable income can afford to make purchases "on principle." But whatever the motivation, it is good that they are doing so.
No mod points: I came to say this same thing. I had to clear all my cookies because I was sick of seeing the same exact Halloween costume that a group of us are buying. I'm waiting for people to get back to me on sizing, so I don't need the constant reminder! It also reinforced how many sites are using Amazon for ads.

You can buy 3G/4G/GSM/whatever Arduino shields for your own devices. They can be used to make phone calls, get internet access, etc.
Can someone clarify the discrepency here?

Can't the routers split the traffic more evenly?
Some years ago I had a wired router that did what the summary describes: if one computer ran bittorrent, nobody else could do anything. I assumed that the router split the traffic by demand, or by number of total connections. This makes sense up to a point.

So why not just use tables for layout then?

The peace prize is different in that it is, by definition, political. Do not judge the other prizes by how the peace prize is awarded.
The Nobel prize is never given posthumously. That's where it stops.
