With any luck the area around the 'mills will be a no-go area and become a wildlife haven. Any lobsters who follow the power lines will end up in a little lobster paradise.
What percentage of people smoke? Go on any forum where it's discussed (eg. fark.com) and you'll find thousands of people defending smoking as "mostly harmless", and second hand smoke as completely inoffensive.
Is this even possible? How much fuel would such a thing need to carry to get there at that speed?
Why would you need it? Presumably there's going to be some sort of build-up to the kind of situation where this is needed a you can have an aircraft carrier full of cruise missiles off somebody's coastline in less than a day.
Seems like just another military wet dream/waste of taxpayer money.
I find it hard to believe that a race which can build energy-sources powerful enough to travel between galaxies would need any material resources. Surely by that stage they can synthesize any element in any quantity (all except Latinum...)
Needing more places to live in? That's another story.
Maybe some rich space-dude would like the Earth as a private holiday villa and he's not too keen on all the annoying/bitey little animals which live here and are busy chopping down the pretty trees and polluting the rolling blue oceans.
Would you think twice about getting rid of an ant/hornet/wasp nest if it was in your back yard? No? We're the ants/hornets/wasps...
They might be "Idiocracy" incarnate. All the smart ones have been bred out of existence leaving behind a race of imbeciles and a whole fleet of shiny, long-lasting, intergalactic ships with crazy-powerful death rays.
Wouldn't that be fun if it turned up on our doorstep?
Yep. Too many apps would break if you use a different DPI.
No monitor manufacturer will risk putting out a monitor which makes apps look bad... so it's catch 22 and we're stuck with it for the foreseeable future.

At least some politician has done *something*.
It's a start...
Yep. America is now third or fourth generation lardass. It's a downward spiral the parents grew up that way, their kids will be worse.
Simple: "It's a start".
Rewarding kids with toys because they go to McDonalds isn't helping the educational process.
Why? It seems like a damn good idea to me.

...is the correct term.
Make sure you put the scanner on a wooden table...
Get a USB floppy drive - no need to build it into your machine and you can go around the place installing Windows XP on other machines.
I'm saying that $106 million could fund a bunch of lawyers for several years.
Do you know the details of the contract? It might have said "in return for 10 years of litigation we agree to pay $106 million"
Have they spent it all yet? $106 million is quite a lot of money. Maybe it's in a special lawyer's trust fund to set them up for the long term.
If only you'd read the article before posting that....
That's because the people who wrote them were much too full of roast beef, spotted dick and brandy when they wrote them.
Ummm ... don't forget who's funding them.
Surely the best way to deal with an 'aura of cheapness' is to raise the price of the product.
Their slogan could be: "Apple, reassuringly expensive".
"Don't run as admin" *is* simple and will prevent most malware/infections.
Has the ancient art of dialing numbers by tapping the "hook" been lost?

This in the year 2010. Go figure.
Rim shot...!
Is this a response to yesterday's story about the USA's dick-waving about building new missiles that can reach anywhere on Earth...?
I'll say "terrible idea" as well, and add:

Easy: They record the MAC address at the same time then when you surf to a site which has Google Analytics embedded in it they've got you!
This is the real problem. The believers will go right on believing no matter what the conclusion is.
