Sounds strange. At least here in Sweden, you don't need an ID to use a bike. On the other hand, if you commit an offense, you must be able to provide a correct personal number by means of an ID of some sort. (Fun fact: Swedish passports are not valid IDs in Sweden.)
There's more to that. Cats see in the dark better than us thanks to huge pupils and some sort of reflective coating on the back of their eyes bouncing the light back on the "seeing" cells. On the other hand, humans see much better in daylight because of the same reasons. It's a trade-off.
As for birds, I thought their spectrum of vision was shifted into the UV frequencies. The colours they see are completely different from ours, but not necessarily more of them.
Wrong! Finland and Sweden do not have official religions (curiously, Sweden doesn't have an official language or official national anthem either) and membership (and tax payment) is completely voluntary.
Except when he goes into his political rants. His texts about torture just made him sound like a nitwit. And if it was satire (which I doubt) it was very badly written.
If nobody comes up with some actual proof (a link perhaps?) for the "hardening with blood" thing, I'm calling a big Bullshit on this one. This is a myth which has been debunked many times. Nice karma whoring though.
But do they even test these machines? Diebold et al get payed lots of thousands of dollars for each machine and it is like they just slap them together the night before election. If every tenth computer in a store malfunctioned that store would be out of business quite soon. </rant>
A couple of years ago, a widow living in the US had her husband's remains cremated. She then flew over to Russia (at that time, Russian companies made the best synth diamonds) and had the ashes pressed to a diamond.
I watched it on TV, so no link. Can't prove the story wasn't faked, but it was funny in a morbid sort of way.
Fixed that for you. Lots of programs stopped working between 10.3 and 10.4, which annoyed at least me a bit. Apple forced people who upgraded the OS to upgrade their programs as well. I presume there was a cost/risk analysis somewhere, and Apple's said "yes" while Microsoft's said "no".
Depends how you define "limited". Extracting H from the oceans would not affect them in any way, because there's just so much water (yes, there's a very limited amount of fresh water, but that's an other thing entirely). Plus when burned it is returned to the oceans.
Whether this is feasible is a different question. It is an infrastructure thing entirely. I am having this sci-fi fantasy where the entire Sahara is covered with solar panels, and the hydrogen is distributed using (hydrogen-powered) tankers.
Hold on. I admit feeling a slight breeze through my hair when posting, and also admit hitching a free ride on the geek bus, so I'll step off in a minute officer, but riddle me this: Since when do geeks do urban legends?

That claim is just ludicrous. Do you know anything about physics?
As for sites debunking it, here's one site, here's another one, and here's one in Swedish.
If you want first-hand information, I suggest you talk to a sword smith (as I have).

Too late, I think Stephen Colbert has already filed for that one.
Remember J++? "Embrace and extend".
But hopefully they can finally get all bugs and quirks out of the language.

Didn't Tesla or Marconi make up concepts for this? (I'll do a search later)
Oh my Gods, there will be WEAPONS OF INFORMATION DES-... uh, no, wait... never mind.
I call BS on this one. Many have lost wealth, or to be more precise, have even less to go around. And they are losing more for each day.
But it is not. The US economy is in very, very bad shape. Even republicans admit this.
Shouldn't that be "Human nerd" by the way? I thought a true nerd believed in ETs. Someone ought to have their nerd license revoked.
Slightly OT (or not):

Depends. A diamond the size of a grape worn in a medallion might impress her. (/me eagerly awaits grape-sized synthetic diamonds.)

The little buggers in Slither were quite quick...

So, what do you have against poodles?
I'm thinking this is a reason they came up with "the Colbert Report".
Besides, in what other political climate would something like tCR be funny, or even concievable?
