Media mogul billionaires do not become billionaires by investing in only one side of a two-sided political spectrum.
True, they do not become billionaires by investing in one side only, however, once they establish themselves as billionaires they have been known to sink their boot in.

Establishing a routine takes the effort out of having to syncronize your lives together.
Ritual
Find something special you enjoy doing together. Make it sacred.

I wonder what would effect it would have on global politics if we sent the political leaders of the world into sub orbital space together. Perhaps it might help give them some perspective...
Consciousness is more than just a mental state. It is a state of being. A key component to emotions is that they emerge as a direct result of physical embodiment. For example, the emotional state of fear feels like it does because of the way our bodies react when they are frightened.
Fear is often preceded by astonishment, and is so far akin to it, that both lead to the senses of sight and hearing being instantly aroused. In both cases the eyes and mouth are widely opened, and the eyebrows raised. The frightened man at first stands like a statue motionless and breathless, or crouches down as if instinctively to escape observation. The heart beats quickly and violently, so that it palpitates or knocks against the ribs... That the skin is much affected under the sense of great fear, we see in the marvellous manner in which perspiration immediately exudes from it... The hairs also on the skin stand erect; and the superficial muscles shiver. In connection witih the disturbed action of the heart, the breathing is hurried. The salivary glands act imperfectly; the mouth becomes dry, and is often opened and shut.

I do not doubt that an artificial brain could become self aware but for it to experience real, human emotions it would need to be embodied in an equivalent way.
Ikea have a whole section of their catalogue dedicated to Cable Managment. I have one of their horizontal SIGNUM cable management thingos attached to the under side of my desk. I've used cable ties to keep everything neatly in place. My workstation runs off a single power strip and has wireless network. It also has castor wheels, so on a nice day I roll it outside and work on the back lawn.
Reminds me of a story about some Engineering lecturers on a conference who were asked whether or not they would get in a plane that their students had designed and built. Only one said that he would. When asked why he felt so safe, he responded that he was absolutely certain that the plane would not even get off the ground.
I'm no molecular geneticist, but I am the proud father of a baby who was conceived through IVF. He shows no sign of chromosomal abnormalities (well, at least compared to his father).
We were lucky. It only took us a couple of cycles - our first miscarried and we were told that it was almost certainly due to severe chromosomal abnormalities.
"Less than 30% of conceptions result in a successful pregnancy" (TFA)
I understand that statistic to mean that more than 70% of natural conceptions have chromosomal abnormalities so severe that the embryo fails to implant. I find it quite plausible that 90% of the embryos from people who are having trouble conceiving are flawed.
Incidentally, It was recommended that we have sex every second day before my appointment with myself in the little room with the magazines.

Yeah, it's not even that hard. As mentioned in TFA, they use Processing.js, which is a javascript port of Processing

My wife and I have lived together for over six years now and as far as I know, we never truly argued.
There are two theories on how to win an argument with a woman. Neither of them work.

If intelligent life forms do exist on earth then why haven't they contacted me?

The moon does have an atmosphere. It is so thin that it is almost negligible, but technically it exists.
Just don't send the telephone sanitizers away or we will all die from an infectious disease contracted from an unsanitized telephone!!!

Google Wave looks like it will be a great tool for real time collaboration.

In case of irreparable damage, the astronauts could move into the space station for two to three months and await rescue by another shuttle
If they're decommissioning the shuttle fleet, why not leave it up there and use it to extend the space station?

Too true. As the saying goes:
"Experts know more and more about less and less."
How about Bug Labs. It doesn't get much more hackable than that.
