Same researcher, similar conclusions. Not sure if the results are from separate studies, though.

Late Questionable Content posts and guest strips were the only indication I had that anything was going on. Only discovered that the power outages were due to snow when I read this poll.

This assumes that the only terrorist threat is from Muslims, which is rather simplistic. Additionally, there is no way that a policy which is that discriminatory could be implemented without violating the constitution. It would be the equivalent of only requiring scanners for people in a certain skin colour range.

Do you drive a manual (stick shift) vehicle and spend lots of time in traffic? All that clutch work could be adding up.

Summary is remarkably uninformative, adding nothing of interest that isn't in the heading.

Yes, the exchange rate varies with supply and demand, but the supply and demand is in turn affected by difficulty. Difficulty increases as a response to increased overall demand (overall mining rate), and it serves as a means to make supply grow slower than demand. In addition, an increase in difficulty makes it less energy efficient to mine bitcoins, which increases the demand to buy it with conventional money.

This by no means implies that a doubling in difficulty will result in a price doubling. Supply and demand is affected by much more than just difficulty, which is why we see market variations such as the $30 peak and the subsequent crash and drop in volatility.

whooshhhh......

FTFY. Considering that the entire surface area is only receiving 14 GW of power, trying to generate 392 GW would be rather challenging. For interest sake, the plant only converts 2.7% of the solar power for the entire area into electricity. This figure is not the efficiency, though, since the entire surface area is not covered by mirrors.

I doubt the legislation was based on baseball for a start, but using the analogy is the quickest way of getting the concept across to the general public. Allowing grace twice is a fairly reasonable middle ground which provides sufficient warning to the pirate.

Some ideas for other games-based piracy laws:
Cricket:
Get caught once and you're out.
Rugby:
Pirate something longer than 80 minutes.
Passing pirated material forward.
Pirating material before release (offsides).
I could go on, but once it gets to "joining the ruck from the side", the analogy has broken down completely.

Sounds like GW2 is exactly what you want. While I agree that the original Guild Wars series was highly linear in terms of plot, Guild Wars 2 includes lots of dynamic events which have a tangible impact on the world you experience. Have a look at this description of dynamic events for more detail.

Although I am aware that you're not being serious, my pedantic nature forces me to point out that the third edition Zimbabwean dollars (which included the $100 trillion banknote) expired on 12 April 2009. They even had expiry dates printed on them. The fourth edition was then introduced with a trillion-to-one ratio, but all Zimbabwean currency was phased shortly afterwards.

Congratulations. You win "most sensationalist post of the day". I can only hope you were not being serious - life with such a xenophobic, apocalyptic mindset could not be pleasant.

Accuracy aside, the ergonomics for touch based devices are terrible. Repetitive large movements in the wrists and fingers are bad whether you're moving a mouse around or dragging your finger on a surface. High resolution mice which only require an inch of movement to cross an entire screen provide good accuracy while minimising wrist and finger movement.
