Oh, ye of little faith. There are absolutely people who believe that nuclear reactions doesn't not work.

Since graphene is pure coal, it would be rather easy to burn it.
I am sure it would be quite easy to make it react with other chemicals to dissolve it. Maybe you could even make alcohol from it? The possibilities are endless. Just because it is mechanically strong doesn't mean it is indestructible.

I wonder how you would describe the conditions that existed on earth when life started here if not "extreme" by our standards?

A fancier word for shit.

It seems like you didn't read the article carefully. The PS3 70 million number were from November 2012, with an IDC estimate of 77 million sold in January 2013.
So the odds are that the PS3 did have higher shipping numbers than the Xbox 360 by March 31th, when Xbox 360 reached 77 million.

I would say that the lesson is that hotel cleaners in the US are criminals. And that the tipping system in the US sucks.
If the cleaners (or others in the service industry) feel they are entitled to the tip, it is not really a tip any more, it is just a hidden direct taxation for services.

It is interesting and a bit sad that 1.5 MB/s (during off-peak hours no less) seems to be something to brag about in the US.
I also have internet through cable and I consistently reach bandwidth of 12.5 MB/s round the clock (100 Mbit/s plan). I also have no caps whatsoever and could get a plan with 200 Mbit/s, but I don't think it warrants the price difference for me at the moment.

But then I actually live in a country that actually cares about its people and not just the profits of the corporations.

The fusion bombs are not really fusion bombs at all. They use fusion, yes, but the majority of the explosive power still comes from fission. The fusion part is only there to increase the amount of neutrons available to increase the efficiency of the fission.

Move to Sweden then. Here your records have to be archived for at least your lifetime, recommendation is life+5 years.

Just to nitpick a bit, Canada does not have a significant population above the arctic circle since almost all Canadians live very close to the US border, which is far away from the arctic circle.

I doubt that even Alaska has a lot of people above the arctic circle.

Not that Finland does either, so probably not relevant in the whole picture, but still.

The depends on your country. In Sweden we have the first year where the seller needs to prove that the defect was not there at time of sale, and then the burden of proof shift to the buyer for year 2.
I practice this usually means in Sweden that for stuff that costs less than 1500SEK (about $200) they just send you a replacement if you say it was broken in the first year since it would cost more to test it than send you a new one.

I didn't know cloning was legal? :)
