The winter efficency surprised me a bit because the Oak loss all it's leafs at this time so it's design is not to maximise winter light collection, the fact that it does is just a coincidence.
But that carbon is already part of the active carbon cycle going on in the biosphere and so isn't much of an issue from a Global Warming perspective which is the point of measuring a Carbon Footprint.
It's the stuff which has been locked away out of the active carbon cycle which causes problems, such as fossil fuels and volcanic erruptions.
One life and thats it, the game is over? You wont win very many fans that way
You say that, but I used to play EVE Online like that.
I had a personal rule that if the character died, I would transfer everything to the person that killed me, recycle the body and start a new character from scratch. That rule was listed in the bio of my characters so everyone could see it.
Certainly, it wouldn't have been to everyone's taste and it really slowed my characters development because I often had to turn down more profitable jobs as the reward didn't justify the extra risk I was taking on. That said, it certainly added a lot of tension and stress to the game. I've always been frustrated by the lack of consquences in games like EVE.
All other optical discs have a dye which is what the laser is burning to record the data, no dye makes more sense when comparing to other optical technologies..
I think the whole world (except China, and a few others) are in trouble if the US is considered to be in trouble.
But it's not just a question of finance, it's a political issue
From the point of view of an outsider, the situation was that a routine Debt Ceiling adjustment, which had happened many times before without issue became a barginning position of a relatively small group of people who, as far as I can tell, used it as a way of scoring political points for the Tea Party while at the same time scoring points against the President.
From what I can tell, that isn't going to change, in fact I can only see it getting worse, I think the Tea Party will do exactly the same again next time because they've seen how effective it is as barginning point, even if a Republican gets the presidency next time because from what I can work out, although the Tea Party occupy the similar political space as the Republicans and the Republicans are currently dependant on the Tea Party to maintain it's majority in the house they aren't directly links and don't have much control over the Tea Party organisation.
The blurb associated with the sequence says the dark lines which grow and then fade are between 0.5 and 5 yards wide. So I guess the ridge running bottom left to top right is about 200-400 yards long (extremely rough guess)
Actually the LED light bulbs isn't such a bad description, it's not directly mentioned in this article but from previous articles I've read about this technology, they are using standing LED room lighting units, those flush mounting halogen replacement bulbs.
The idea is that the same 'bulbs' you use for lighting a room are also used for networking, downside of course is that you have to leave the room lights on all day but I guess it's intended for situations where the lights are left on all the time anyway.

Debt only really makes sense when stated in terms of GDP. It's like comparing a man who earns $100,000 with $20,000 of debt to a man earning $50,000 with $15,000 of debt.
Reagan increased the ratio from 32.5% at the start to his 2 terms to 53.1% at the end of his term. While Clinton reduced the ration from 66.1% down to 56.4%.

While I understand you are trying to make the point that the current list of very rich people do not trace their wealth going back centuries as the GP suggests, 8 out of the top 10 do all seemed to have had a pretty good start in life who then either continued to live off the original legacy or used that privileged start as the base to build further wealth on.
Note, I'm not saying that building that wealth didn't take skill to put them into the positions they are in now, I do feel the GGP point that alot of the wealth created comes from luck and being in the right place at the right time (either though birth or being getting into the right business at the right time).
Politicians and a lot of people in the public arena have had to put up with Murdoch for a long time, they don't do this because they want to or because they like him, they do it because they have to.

This is Slashdot. 95% of the readership's experience with air travel involves interacting with the American TSA once a year while they're flying from their mom's basement in Boston to Comic-Con.
You've got to hand it to those Airline Pilots, they do have a lot of skill, I can't imagine the precision needed to land a 747 in a back garden, then taxi in through the patio doors, through the kitchen and down the stairs to the basement.
First, think about whether you would still object if these machines were 100% effective. If the answer is "yes", then don't bother.
Define 100% effective?
100% effective at catching people trying to smuggle weapons aboard planes?
or
100% effective at detering people trying to smuggle weapons aboard planes?
or prehaps
100% effective at reducing the number of passengers who want to travel by plane to start with?.
The problem with this stuff is, it clearly isn't 100% effective, even if it was, there are still issues with passenger privacy and health (whether precieved or real) and the really genius bit of it all is that if it is successful the outcome from the point of view of an inpartial external viewer is exactly the same as if nothing happened at all. I have a tiger repelling stone necklace you might want to buy, I have never once been attacked by a tiger while wearing it.
Of course the pioneer, the early bright light of our field was hounded to death for being gay, a man who had saved many lives and sped the end of the war. If there is one thing that should tell us homophobia is *bad* this is it.
Indeed, he commited suicide with Cyanide, besides his body was a half eaten apple which it is speculated was how turing took the Cyanide although the apple itself was never tested.
It is rumoured that the original Apple Computers logo, a rainbow colored Apple with a bite taken out of it was a reference to this but I don't think it's every been confirmed one way or another by anyone who would have known for sure.
Why Europe should be self-sufficient in food production?
How stupid a statement can you make?
Argicultural land doesn't just exist, it's argicultural land because it's actively being maintained as Agricultural land and would revert to natural habit very quickly. Much more than a decade out of use and you couldn't turn it back into Argicultural land without major effort (cutting trees, plowing over grass land etc) before you could even sow and even then the yields in the first few years are going to be very low.
Any civilisation is one bad harvest away from chaos.
CAP isn't without it's problems, it's directly responsible for making African farms uneconomical, for example, but it's a fundamental to any countries security that they are close to being self-sufficent.

Most of that could be handled by have something like a Citrix Server and the clients just being cheap access terminals.
No need to worry about the tablet being stolen because the tablet is never given the data (outside of screen scrap from the server).

Which means that you have paid for a crippled format which although you can decrypt still gives the publishers the idea that DRM is acceptable.
I wont touch DRM on books even if I can decrypt them because I think it sends the wrong signal about acceptable behaviour.
