"First, there are disputes over how to even perform CPR for maximum effectiveness, with some saying that chest compression alone produces better outcomes than a mix of chest and breathing."
There is pretty close to ZERO dispute over how to perform CPR. Compression-only CPR is intended for untrained individuals who may be under stress; it's easier to just simply keep pumping than to keep track of "how many compressions have been done, oh, now it's time to take a breathe". The average person may be more reluctant to put their lips on a complete stranger; it's also more difficult to alternate between breathing and compressions if there's just one person available. Paramedics, EMTs, etc do both compressions and ventilation.

Given that damnation is supposedly eternal, the plus or minus few extra years isn't going to make much of a difference.

Absolutely, if we take your point of observation to be a fixed point. However, once you factor in MORE observations, concerning the movements of the moon, planets and stars, we must revise the assertion.
You've got the Nokia N9, and... well, apparently HP is actually still pushing out updates to webOS on a semimonthly basis, so maybe pick up a Pre 3 off of eBay? Maybe a BBX device if RIM ever pulls its head out of its collective ass? Symbian is still going to be around for at least another 4 years, so why not an N8, E7, or 701?
Genuinely curious about this: if you write a message on my Facebook page, and I respond to it, and then later on you delete your account, should that message remain or not? What if the message was on a photo I uploaded? What if I uploaded a group photo that you were in, and you had previously required permission before I could tag you in it; should that tag disappear once you leave Facebook?
1) For $9 ChevronWP7 provides an officially sanctioned tool to root your Windows Phone. It's not $0 like Android, but at least easy to do and isn't disabled at on a whim by Microsoft, unlike how Apple treats jailbreaking. Yes, jailbreaking is legal, but nothing in the law says Apple has to make it easy -- so they don't.
It's because all the expertise was in enriched uranium reactors, and the same reason why American companies used slightly enriched uranium plants for it: it's cheaper to improve on a current process than to throw it out and start from scratch. Sure, there's diminishing returns, but why bother with something new when in the current situation where the public is afraid of anything nuclear? But when you're in a country where public opinion is less of a problem and you have a large budget surplus, you're freer to mess around.
I'm not sure what analogy there is in GP's comment.
This is more of an explosive disposal site than a military-level bomb range. We're not talking bunker-busters being dropped here; I figure that they stuff they do at the range doesn't usually involve all that many projectiles or other things that can bounce off a hilltop and keep going. It's just that Mythbusters has been doing this kind of thing there so long they figured it'd be okay.
Nobody expected a cannonball to skip off a hill, fly 1/3 of a mile, then start punching through doors, walls, and a car before finally coming to a stop.
Chalk it up to an unfortunate faulty understanding of the geology of the area. Before the quake, it was expected that the largest quake -- and therefore tsunamis that resulted from that quake -- that could come out of that area was right around an 8. So the reactor was designed to survive an 8.5, and the seawall in that region was designed to block an 8-ish tsunami.
What ultimately killed the plant and then made recovery all the worse was the tsunami. The sea wall was built to handle tsunamis generated by a 7ish-to-8, because geologists had said that any earthquake beyond that was -- for all intents and purposes -- not going to happen from that fault system.
They were not denied each time; they asked if there was a car charging station around, and people didn't know what they were talking about because there weren't any of those power stations outside of city limits yet. When they stopped into that first office (or the other couple establishments), they never actually asked, "may we use your power outlet?" The only time when they were really foiled was by a lack of extension cable to reach the outlet near the dock.
Britain has some of the strictest advertising laws in the world. If someone had felt the advertising was truly misleading, there'd already be a lawsuit.
The Leaf has always been an urban car/2nd of a two car family. It's not for long distances. Nissan has never suggested otherwise. If you had kept your Swift to true-family-runabout trips, the Leaf would be more than adequate. For folks like you who do have an occasional long-distance trip, you'd be better off with something like a Chevy Volt, which is a decent car. See, it's stuff like this that gives technology a bad name: not being aware of the limitations of something and trying to use it anyway. Calling the Leaf lousy because it can't do a 125 mile trip on a single charge is like complaining that your kitchen sink doesn't dispense French mineral water.
Top Gear has made it clear that they don't like electric cars. Look at their test of the Nissan Leaf. They purposely chose a destination further than the range of the car. They started the review with positive comments -- I should have immediately been suspicious -- and could have kept it up had they treated it as a commuter car. I also found it incredible that they took hours to find a "suitable" power source, which turned out to be... a standard mains outlet. Really? They couldn't string a cable out from an inn into the parking lot, while somehow stringing an extension cable from a computer lab to the car -- which was parked on walkway -- was okay?
No, it's pretty clear that this is how they're going to treat all electric cars they review.
For the iPhone 4, I showed up at the main San Francisco store on the second day at 8:30 AM. Ended up waiting only 20 minutes in line before I got mine. Same story with the first iPad: launched on Friday, I went in after work on Monday and picked one up after about 10 minutes. They might keep the inventory a bit lower this time to keep up the hype, but the only real reason to show up on day 1 is to enjoy the atmosphere.
"I think that's going to last about 6 months after Win8 release, and then they're going to realize that early adopters are putting keyboards and mice on their tablets and struggling to re-enable the traditional desktop"
You do realize that Windows 8 is for both desktops/laptops and tablets? Tablet users use keyboards as well (witness the sale of keyboards for the iPad); the Metro interface is just a touch-friendly environment. It takes all of one registry edit to kill it permanently and switch back to all-traditional desktop, all the time.

So... it's now Microsoft's fault that developers won't write unsigned apps for their OS?

Unfortunately, they were wrong.
Not only are they sending emails out, it also appears as the first item in the Steam News window.

Pretty sure GP meant physician.
