The one benefit I can see with social networks as a game platform: griefers will be less common since they thrive in anonymity. Although, a friend's wife constantly griefs him when we play Settlers of Catan (her goal is to make him not win)...
I personally did something very similar once. Up in front of a class teaching linux systems administration using a projector, and did a sudo command. A few minutes later, did another one and reflexively started typing in my password, even though sudo auto-authenticated. Whoops! Everyone got a good chuckle and a good example of what not to do.

Asking because I had trouble figuring out a good word for it in Hindi.
The only way to curb CO2 in the atmosphere is to stop burning fuel and let natural vegetation grow. This also means letting forests GROW and not clear cutting for land development, wood, and paper.
Wouldn't cutting vegetation for wood/paper/etc be great for curbing CO2, especially if there is replanting? All the Carbon gets locked up in treated lumber or paper. As long as people don't recycle the paper, it goes into a landfill.

if you take DRY ICE [not gaseous CO2] and drop it to the bottom of a few hundred feet of water... it stopped sublimating
Sublimating. That's Solid to Gas. It's still going to Melt. That's solid to liquid, BTW. And then it will dissolve into the rest of the water. Not sequestered.
The best part about these not being widely reported, but widely believed: Rumors similar to them will be believed too. Did you hear that potential recording devices count as an audience? Since your iphone counts as an audience, playing your itunes to yourself is a performance for which you should be paying a fee. Am I joking? Maaaaybe I am, Maaaybe I'm not. We just don't know.
Do you have to look up the basic syntax of SELECT - the fact that it has the list of fields, WHERE clause, etc?
Yes, and I usually forget the semicolon even though I know that I usually forget the semicolon.;)
I've been told that forgetting exact syntax for a little used language is a good sign. Now if I could only forget prolog...
Eh I don't know if you can really blame them. If they can successfully sue then it's entirely the law's fault
Exploiting loopholes is surely something you can blame someone for. If a good lawyer sees a loophole, they should feel a desire to close it, not exploit it. I'm reminded of a law professor I had (BTW IANAL) who described a friend who mowed a two-foot strip of his neighbor's lawn a fraction of an inch lower than the neighbor until the neighbor stopped mowing it. Then he planted a tree in that same strip. After a few years, he sued to essentially steal the land from his neighbor because he had been improving it and maintaining it. The law was on his side. My law prof was telling the tale as an example of an unintended loophole, but he was laughing about it like it was the best practical joke ever.
Agreed about the energy. One of the reasons our country became so wealthy during the early 20th century was the amount of energy and resources we could tap compared to other countries (and we weren't in WWI/WWII until others wasted resources). Some Fusion or other energy would give our economy a big kickstart. Just making energy cheap and available would open up new manufacturing and transportation venues.
I would be interested if anyone knows the dirt on why exactly he was fired. [snip] he was starting to be a pretty merciless critic of the Obama administration
You answered yourself. His boss(es) liked the previous eight years' material, and were shocked and dismayed that he was a good journalist instead of the biased one they thought he was. Of course, they might actually think he _became_ biased.
If it really works, people hate it. [...] The drug dealers were angry. There were death threats. The camera owner finally had to take the cameras down and move.
People hate it? Yes, I'd probably hate it, but it sounds like in your example only the violent criminals hated it.
In the UK you can't wear a hat or hoody in a pub because the mandatory spy cams can't make out your face and the watchers don't like this. Very creepy.
Do the announcer voices shout "Please remove your hat, sir!"? That would be creepy.
Because now I can wardrive for power. Or, maybe I could drive a bumper-car on a road filled with these things.
Again... Wasn't trying to troll. I was joking about the wardriving for power, but I was serious about the road. People have been complaining about batteries in electric cars, and alternatives like cable-cars leave power lines dangling all over the road. Wirelessly powered mini-cars might be a good option.
You jest, but charging pacemakers or other internal devices would be almost the only practical use for this technique.
WTF? How is this a Troll? Wireless power loses energy, so the only places it makes sense are were wires can't go or batteries can't easily be replaced. ie In The Human Body. If you're going to moderate, think a little before applying -1 Troll or -1 Flamebait.

Couldn't you just replace the circuit board with an identical one? Tada, data.
A used 300GB Ultra320? I'd pay $40 if it worked at sale.
I hope you don't do this with glass platters.

Notice Kazon keeps saying sublimate. Melt=/=sublimate.

It already is [free], go to a public library and access the WWW.
A public library where the internet is provided by a telecommunications company. I think GP wants a Public Non-profit Telecom.

Am I the only one that wonders... WTF is a Lego convention?
Fine. LEGO® convention. Sheesh, lego snobs and their insistence on all-caps.
