According to Wikipedia, 75% of the Canadian population lives within 150 km miles of the US border. So, for that region, Canada's population density is closer to 23 people/km^2. Of course Canada still wins, but it kinda draws a better picture.
It's a teaser video. It's a "Look, we're working on the game!" video. And it's a "See? It's the Ink Spots! We haven't forgotten Fallout's roots!" video. It's not a "Lookit! Gameplay!" video.
Because the supercentenarians might actually have to (gasp) not retire yet! This isn't about extending how long we can live on respirators, but how long we can live healthy, 'youthful' lives.
I'm not a doctor either, but I imagine that it would be a pretty nasty strain on the circulatory system. Blood from your feet would have a rough time of it, getting back up to your heart. Blood from the heart would have more difficulty than usual getting to your brain. A 150 lb man's joints and muscles would suddenly need to cope with 375 lbs, instead. All day long. Every day. Knees would be exploding left and right!
Okay, so let's think about things for a moment. The Earth seems to be warming up. Pretty much everyone agrees with that. Human beings are dumping tons of things into the air that are known and proven to be what we call 'greenhouse gasses.'
The issue that people are debating is whether or not the amount of this stuff that we're dumping into the atmosphere is enough to cause the changes that we have seen over the past number of decades. But you know what? It doesn't matter whether or not we are actually causing it. The scientists say that the current warming trend will cause enormous coastal flooding, tremendous shortages of water in what tend to be poorer nations, and various other things that will tend to force the migration of a (very) large number of people.
This is troublesome for reasons that I'm sure you can figure out on your own. At the points in the past when temperatures have been warmer and colder, there was not so much at stake for so many people. It's a little more difficult to pick up the tribe and move to greener pastures, nowadays.
It would seem to me, that since there does seem a large chance that humans are at least partially at fault for the current warming (being that the climatologists, whose job it is to figure out these sorts of things, seem mostly united in that opinion), we should probably make an effort to not make it happen any faster than it is. Or, we should take steps to either prepare for the trouble the world's going to have for the next hundred years or try to interfere with the 'natural' trend, if that's what it is.
The maintenance fees aren't really all that enormous, though. The first 11.5 years of maintenance total $3200. Also, the fact that 90-some percent of patents lay unused suggests to me that companies will, in fact, maintain patents that they have no interest in.
Any black hole that could be created by any of these experiments would be so tiny that it would radiate away all of its energy before being able to do anything besides exist and vanish a split-second later. It will not, and can not, eat the planet.
The article mentions that there are drugs that can kill the parasite in rodents, and that it reverses the affects. There is no mention of the existence or lack of existence of a cure for humans. So... is it treatable?
I'm not saying this is a bad idea, because it's likely that the retailer does have a nice heavy-duty pair of scissors somewhere, but I do take issue with something.
Let the retailer realize just how awful the packaging is.
The people working at the retailer are normal human beings that also buy things at stores. They know how horrible the packaging is, and the person that will be opening your package has absolutely nothing to do with it.
Digital facial recognition is pretty iffy. You could defeat the current breed by wearing Groucho glasses. Or, hell, probably just sunglasses of any sort.
Yes, I realized that it was written by an American with a book to sell. I tried not to touch the "Brits should have guns" bit, but I thought the rising British violent crime rate was notable. America still ha(s|d) 3.5 times as many homicides, but that still suggests that a lot of people are getting killed in England. *shrug*
Of course, that doesn't matter, because you're not nearly as bad as the savage Americans.
For what it's worth, this was reported by the BBC in '03.
When guns were available in England they were seldom used in crime. A government study for 1890-1892 found an average of one handgun homicide a year in a population of 30 million. But murder rates for both countries are now changing. In 1981 the American rate was 8.7 times the English rate, in 1995 it was 5.7 times the English rate, and by last year it was 3.5 times. With American rates described as "in startling free-fall" and British rates as of October 2002 the highest for 100 years the two are on a path to converge.

Future societies wouldn't have much oil, coal, and gas to work with, perhaps, but a lot of other natural resources will be buried in our landfills.

...I'm confused. Liquid nitrogen boils at -196 C (-230 F).

I wonder if he went to Hollywood Upstairs Medical College, too.

Oh, curses! Our synergystic engineerification of innovationist intelligent-making just can't keep up with the likes of Dundee, Scotland!
DoIs per white blood cell is a perfectly cromulent unit of measurement.
Argh! Reverses the effects! I suck at The Grammar. :(

But people already do have factories that create keys for criminals to break in. Key bumping.
The best version of that story that I remember hearing was, "The last man on Earth sat in a room. There was a lock on the door."
