My security question answers are randomly generated, twelve char alpha-numerics, just like my passwords (like, but different), unique for every site. It can be a PITA, but given the lousy security on sites I use, keeping them separate as much as possible just seems like a good idea.
The bible is an amalgamation of a bunch of "wisdom" of pre-scientific, bronze-age herders, and should be taken with oceans of salt, regardless of the translation.
It would have to be stable wrt all the wealth represented in the system in order to be neutral. So, it would have to grow at some rate, which is why things like gold don't work, because the rate of growth of the gold supply isn't the same as the rate of growth the economy as a whole.
And if it's neutral, then it's a risk-free store of value (without any growth), which would again cause many people to store their wealth in it, reducing investment in the (risky) future.
Cash (or "money") is not a store of value, it's a lubricant for exchange. A monetary system without inflation (small, predictable) encourages people to store wealth in "money", as opposed to investing it in productive uses. Monetary systems with a small amount of inflation will encourage investment of wealth to earn a return at least as good as the inflation being experienced. Which is why virtually every economy on the planet left the gold standard; the economies with "inflatable" currencies will outperform those without.
We're seeing the results of the 'geologic timescales' experiment we're doing in the oceans now. Corals are bleaching and being dissolved back into the oceans.
Why not a "shield" for the Pi, with USB 2.0 and lots of D/A-A/D? Sorry, but as my friend used to tell me, "you are not a market", so adding that stuff to the base Raspberry Pi doesn't make sense.
You don't have to pump the water up hill to replenish the ground water. Here's a google maps link: http://g.co/maps/8nehd to an impound area on the Santa Clara River in Southern California. They have a diversion dam on the river which allows the water to flow to the side and into the pond(s) when there's enough flow, and otherwise flow down river.
The islands are created by the corals living in the waters. That limits the rate at which they can be "built" up to keep up with sea level rise. Also, other effects of rising CO2 levels, like warmer seas and ocean acidification may reduce the rate at which corals can build islands.

You make the material stronger, so you can use less of it, so the car is lighter, so you can use even less material and energy to move it around.
That would be awesome. Best coding monitor I've used was my monochrome NeXT monitor...

No, because then they are abusing their children, just as much as if they beat them.
No, you've got Lance Armstrong in the basement on a bicycle hooked to a generator to take up the slack...
I can always tell when I'm not self-deceptive enough, as I get more and more depressed.

Wait, what? Subsidize investment regardless of productive outcome?
I would say it is the converse. It penalizes nonproductive uses of wealth, causing people to invest time/effort into finding productive uses for it.
A nonproductive outcome would cause a reduction in value in addition to the loss of value due to inflation.

Well, since he said it, the birth rate has gone up quite a bit...

If they can stay up there indefinitely, we're in big trouble: #moonisaharshmistress
Powering the iPhone off (or simply running the battery down until it dies) will keep the "Find my iPhone" app from making any noise.
5.6 seems to be the correct pH for rain water.

Which two? :-)

Nice to "meet" you neighbor. My back fence is Lynch Road.
No, he said Fusion, which would make one Helium atom out of 4(?)Hydrogen atoms. (I assume 4, since the atomic weight of He is ~4x that of H.

Yeah, and I'm across town. Fuckers! :-(
I'm not even in the "planned roll out area"
Um, no. Sonic.net is the business doing the rollout. Basically, they pay for it by getting 100% adoption (by eating the other services' lunches).
The tiny town of Sebastopol CA, population ~7800 has gigabit fiber to the (some) doorstep for $69/month.
