How you get this to 2% for "Scandinavia" is beyond me.
No no no, those are the statistics for the individual countries. I don't think you understand how statistics work. When you add the populations together, it's a bigger number, and--Hold on, I'll let Bill O'Reilly explain it:
"Market research indicates that people use their electronic devices outside the home as much as they do inside, so we've come up with a new name to tie our brand with both the "outdoors" and the "home" aspects of the consumer experience: The Outhouse"
That's for 1% of the population. The other 99% of passersby wouldn't give a shit (most not even noticing).
For example, you could spend ten minutes stealing a bike with a really good lock on a busy street corner in most major cities, and the most you'd probably get is pedestrians grumbling you're blocking the sidewalk.
Since the water vapor brought into the atmosphere in high altitudes likely increases global warming (water vapor is a more effective greenhouse gas than CO2), I don't think they could get carbon credits.
Maybe not now, but when NASA reduces its GHG emissions when the shuttle program ends?
If you've read the article, you will note that it states specifically that it doesn't use algae. It does say that the closest thing out there to what they do are ones that use algae. When the first cars were built, the closest thing to them was the carriage, but automobiles didn't use horses to power them.
I can't wait to drive the first algae-less carriage!
Yes, but what does that have to do with EM signals?/sarcasm
We should see this as an opportunity. What better way to convince local governments to install free city-wide WiFi than to tell them it will ride their town of these kooks?
I think that it's not just the image quality that's interesting. As a non-astro-anything-ist, I tend to think of space exploration as a really slow process, requiring years and years of bureaucratic approvals, budget overruns, then waiting months or years for the thing to get where it's going.
For Hubble to simply stop everything to swing a look at Jupiter so soon after something newsworthy happens there is a reminder that the Hubble Space Telescope is really.fucking.cool.
Same with age, that should not be on a license, except underaged people should have that clearly marked on their DL. Although it should just be an 'Under 18' or 'Under 21' unless they specifically want their birthday on there. Same with elderly people, who could have 'Over 55' or whatever on their license if they want.
...or "under 19" if you're drinking on a trip to Ontario. Or "under 18" if drinking in Quebec. Or "under 21" in case you visit the U.S. Or "under 25" if trying to rent a car...

Did you follow the link? Something tells me you didn't follow the link. Namely the part where you take my absurd claim at face value.

The title text better not be "Raptors", because I don't want any of those popping up in my living room!
Better add "hidden in a comic book" to the list of entry points...

And if you click on the More information about this page link at the bottom of that page, Snopes debunks that one, too.

I'm one step ahead: I tagged my house with "NOT REALGROUCHY'S HOUSE" on OpenStreetMap. They'll never find me!

There's also the problem of political boundaries. Last ice age, there weren't any borders to stop people from migrating away from uninhabitable land.

If I design a can label for a soup company, do I own the label, or does the company?
If someone takes a photo of the can with 'my' label on it, who owns the copyright to the photo?
If someone paints a pop-art version of that photo, who owns the rights to it?
If someone takes a photograph of that painting, who owns the rights to it?
The only winner is the copyright lawyers for all these people.

No, I think it's a ternary system, using the digits 1, 0, and U. Also known as "L33T debtor code" ;-)
