Since he's now been exposed and thoroughly put back in his box, I'd say the answer to that is "not very".
I despise paid shills. Fortunately this one was dumb enough to be obvious.
I'd like to add my vote here for Orson Scott Card and John Wyndham. My son who is now 13, enjoyed "Ender's Game" and "Ender's Shadow". John Wyndham's novels may start a bit slow for a young reader. In this regard "The Kraaken Wakes" is one I found hard to get into as a child. The "Midwich Cuckoos" or "The Chrysalids" are two that I would recommend, although some background explanation of the latter might be necessary for someone born after the Cold War. "The Day Of The Triffids" is perhaps, a bit dark. His short stories are great if you can find them.
Is this something we really want to do though? I suspect that advertising our presence, our location and the fact that there is a habitable planet here, to random civilisations that will thus know about us before we know about them?
I think it's safer to stay hidden and keep listening.
A lot of modern sewage works use the methane to run the heaters that keep the digestion process going. Sometimes they use it to run modified IC engines that power generators. The heat from the engines is then used to heat the digesters instead of using a standard radiator. There is at least one plant in the UK that has used this system for over ten years.
No,
Propane is a longer chain hydrocarbon that liquifies more easily. Natural gas is mostly methane that requires much higher pressure and/or lower temperature to turn it into a liquid. Fine for an ocean going tanker. Not really practical for a road vehicle.
I have a Samsung Galaxy SII with the current Australian firmware. Based on the information at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11763089 CIQ is not installed. I don't know if the standard Samsung firmware as supplied is the same, but it's one of the things I like about my carrier, Virgin. Their phones really are. With Optus or Telstra YMMV.
It won't stop there. NSW TAFE had plans to dump chemistry and only offer it online. How they planned to do that without labs, I don't know. I do know it was an accountant advocating the change.
There is no substitute for hands on learning when it comes to science and engineering.
Will we see a whole new generation of so called scientists who've never seen the inside of a lab?
TAFE NSW tried this to cut back their high school equivalent course.
Once it became clear that the much touted "on line course" consisted of a website that had no more than the contents of the textbook it was dumped, but only after the students protested.
Ever tried to learn calculus from a textbook?
Yes, rolled it. The thing was fast in a straight line, but its skinny little OEM rims and textile radials weren't really up to going around bends. I saw a lot of them in subsequent years (although few were as original as this one). I had one before Alan Moffat made them popular:)
Culya Rd, I think. It was a long time ago (1982), but it was in that vicinity. Damn thing sat at the front of the wreckers all twisted for months afterward - just to make me sad...
Of my first car, a 1972 Mazda Rx2. Last seen in a wrecking yard in Orange, NSW with a crushed roof and twisted frame.
A great car, but 17mpg on a good day was a shock.

I do this already using Tasker. Definite prior art there.

Good luck with that one. Even if that actually happens, there are plenty of fruit free alternatives.
No, but someone who's confessed profession is "information warefare" astroturfing blogs is.

You have mass, therefore you owe a licence fee.

My wife and I are both left handed. Our son is right handed.
It's people like you what cause unrest.

I've seen this up close. It's a mock up for a military aircraft display in a tourist resort near Shanghai.
I think in this case, it's more likely to be "Fruit Ninja"
It takes hours to sort them out afterwards.
At least this time there is no pilot to beg for the return of.
but no badgers or mushrooms. What were they thinking?
