Indeed, humans have Borg-like powers of genetic adaptation, so that several generations of living in an extraterrestrial habitat that has been technologically rendered as Earth-like as possible would cause them to spontaneously mutate to the point of sexual incompatibility with normal humans (the normal definition of separate species).
Once the outer surface has solidified, it insulates the core quite well. The moon's surface temperature drops to 100K (almost cold enough to liquify oxygen in Earth's atmosphere) in the night, which is pretty cold considering that the sun heats it to 390K (hotter than boiling water) by day. In other words, the surface doesn't get much heat from below. A few billion years might just not be enough for it to cool out completely.
I hate patent trolls, but I hate that Farmville shit I get spammed with even worse. I hope the troll and Zynga both spend millions on lawyers and then settle for peanuts.
To be honest, as a long-time member of their forum, I can confidently say it will indeed drive you mad, regardless of whether you are Jeff Vogel or not.:P
However, the division between what Spiderweb Software does and what the forum thinks has been there for years, and its reason is simple (and kind of frustrating): Spiderweb Software made a game that its fans loved, and it bombed (Blades of Avernum). Then it made a game that the fans didn't like (partly out of They Changed It Now It Sucks, but also for real complaints like a simplified gameplay and greatly reduced impact of character mortality) and it sold very well (Avernum 4). The company had no real choice in that matter - making a small group of fans happy simply makes no economic sense compared to making games that sell.
No, this is a military-style acronym, where you drop words that don't fit and use abbreviations instead of initials where convenient, just to get a cool-sounding word.

Calling yourself "Fake Steve Jobs" impersonates Steve Jobs about as much as saying "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV" impersonates a medical professional. It's right there in the name, ferchrissakes.
Have you considered the possibility that at least some of these claims are not heretical, but simply false; and that the angry reaction from climatologists derives not from any religious fervor but from the frustration of having to refute them time and time again in the face of someone who thinks some reading online gives them expertise equal to years of academic study?
With only the visual distraction to worry about, it would be enough to limit laptop use to the rear half (or third) of the auditorium. As long as the front rows are kept free of them, nobody has to sit behind a distracting screen.

Hell, I admire Bill Gates more than Glenn Beck too.
I barely feel like punching Bill Gates in the face a tenth as much as I want to punch Glenn Beck.
Which is a bit like going to the local news outlet and saying "Guess who I was before entering witness protection."
Their elaborate network of communication and secure submissions is there for a reason...
Put out a memo requiring everybody to smile all day in the office, on pain of being fired.
Morale will skyrocket.

What, and mark all classified documents "for immediate release"?

I RTFA, and the "breaking the encryption" was a direct quote from the police. So it's not the reporters being stupid.
However, it's quite possibly the police lying to sound more badass.
Maybe the reporters are stupid and there either was no encryption, or Google was forced to hand over the keys.
Or maybe South Korea outlawed strong encryption, but I haven't read about that anywhere.
Google uses encryption that can be broken? WTF?

Not to mention illegal. :P
Of course, not owning a smartphone could become probably cause for a search warrant some day, since you must obviously have something to hide.
If only someone had been a bit faster, they could have headed this off by filing the patent troll patent troll patent!

But a regular alarm clock that runs only on batteries will ring just fine in a power failure. They can take years to drain those batteries, too...
Though last year they failed to charge the battery for some reason.
Because US foreign policy is limited to the two modes "Invasion" and "Apathy"?
Italy is part of Europe, which is already blocked from what seems like every other video.

... what.
Also, it is Obama's fault.
