I buy from Adafruit because of the excellent tutorials and documentation, even if the price is slightly higher, I trust the quality more than other vendors.
My only complaint is inventory: certain items are often out of stock for months at a time. So I put alerts on them and hope that I can purchase lots of items in large order vs many smaller ones.
^^ Best analysis of economics and environmentalism in this entire thread!
Wood is very efficient at heating a home. However, particulates are much higher than the other, more difficult to procure in rural situation, substances you mentioned. Certain wood burning stoves are less emmisive than your "double barrel" wood stove.
I understand your knee-jerk reaction to any EPA mention of wood stoves, given your long posts about your geography and childhood, yet you (of all slashdotters) should have the open mind to realize the wood stove you loved as a child may have harmed you and your family.
I'm very skeptical now of the wood stove my family enjoyed. Maybe you should too...
And that's a good thing! Racing to space for the future of Humanity should be shared by all.
Link to the Permissions Denied app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stericson.permissions.donate&hl=en
It appears Cyanogen Mod used to have this feature.
Permissions Denied [google.com] is another (root-only) app that can deny certain permissions to a selected app.
Both a firewall and selective permissions should be part of the core OS so users do not have to root their phones. If the functionality of denying permissions was part of the OS, developers would hopefully test their software against some restrictions and fail gracefully instead of crashing. However, if some apps knew they were denied the Internet permission, they mail fail to launch at all since they could not download ads. (This may reduce ad-supported apps and games, which could be positive or negative depending on your perspective.)
And there's a lot of things that require root that shouldn't. Such as apps that back up you applications and their settings.
Part of Android's security design is to isolate apps from each other by running each app as it's own user_id. Thus, if you want to back up the data from all apps, you need root (or designate some sort of super-user that belongs to all of those groups in order to read those files). Just like in other *nix, user A cannot read user B's files if the file/directory permissions are restricted.
Android Firewall (linked above) allows easy blocking of net access to each individual app because they all run as separate user_ids, so the iptables rule is trivial.

Try "Android Firewall" (needs root)

It's yet to be seen what the New gTLDs will do for Chinese simplified vs traditional. Most likely, they will only accept simplified characters (to keep it simple!) but they could do bundling.
Yes, they will be standardized. All of the registries participating list the Unicode code points for all allowable characters in each script. They disallow "variants" so you cannot mix low code point ascii with high code point cyrllic to prevent IDN homograph attacks.

.UK has done well to expand its namespace. However, it seems likely that $secondlevel.uk domains will be sold in the future, mostly invalidating the existing 3rd level domains.
One could argue Vietnam has gone overboard with their namespace expansion:
