Brought to you by those commie, over-regulating Europeans.

Have a look at the Stern Review http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stern_Review . He did exactly what you asked and was widely communicated.

Most serious vegetarians (I consider myself to be one), know full well that only modern methods of science are able to extract needed amounts of protein from plant sources, be it through tofu, seitan, tempeh or else. Humans are not made to be fueled solely by salad and grass.

Bio-availability of plant protein is lower when it is only from one source, and while most people eat a diverse enough mix, one can get problems with it quite easily. But by mixing, this can be greatly improved (as can be witnessed by the protein shakes for body builders that are purely plant based).

Very cool, thank you

What they really need to do is to include fake data. Some apps just crash when being revoked access to certain things, while giving them fake access to an empty phone book e.g. would be a good way to circumvent this.

While it might not be the case in the US, Greenpeace is highly respected in many parts of the world, so the danger to image is real.

Also, Greenpeace would never accept money from Apple as it is a corporation.

Actually, less sleep is responsible for more calories in, as we tend to eat lots of sugary stuff to stay awake when tired.

Since discovering the verbatim feature for Google, the search works once more. Most of my searches are now done with it enabled.

It's a question of the size of turbine. The bigger ones have work benches and everything in the _rooms_ at the top of the towers.

In "What does China think", Mark Leonard describes your last idea as currently being tried out in China, especially in the city of Zeguo http://cdd.stanford.edu/polls/china/
Also, china is evaluating other types of democracy, such as inner party democracy, election of lowest (and closest to the people) levels, or consultations (all significant decisions are open to everyone) in Chonqying, a city with over 30 million inhabitants, making it larger than most countries in Europe. Of course, in China with all it's issues of civil rights, there is still a huge amount of influence possible, but I think all of these are fascinating developments.

Really, slashdot is _early_?

My android, as well as most other upper tier, have a back button. Exactly the back function is something I find so amazingly annoying about the iPhone, that I am surprised you used that as an example. The look is more consistent though.

"the 2005 Durex Global sex survey found that people worldwide are having sex for the first time at an average age of 17.3, ranging from 15.6 in Iceland to 19.8 in India."

  My sources say something completely different than your sources. Sorry... Median would be far more interesting anyway.

Have a look at the others:

But they promise to build new ones within five years for your consumption, so you are effectively promoting the alternatives.

I have an Arris TM502B running Docsis 2.0, and having played a bit with its terminal console, it says that is supports ipv6, although of course there is no way to test it for me without my provider.
