Dual boot and use them both. Any other world endingly difficult questions you need answered for?

Unicode does not necessarily mean any of this crap. International domain names don't use UTF-8 or UCS2 or anything like that, they are represented with a scheme called Punycode. Being a software developer, you may want to know a bit more about it. Just stop by any information kiosk marked with big rainbow-coloured GOOGLE sign and ask the friendly staff. Don't hesitate to ask about the difference between Unicode and the UTFs too, while you're at it.

The C programming language and sizeof(wchar_t) has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion. Internet standards are not defined in terms of C and its data types.

To put this into perspective:

36,000 acres = 7.5 x 7.5 miles = 12.5 x 12.5 kilometers = the size of Walt Disney World

I don't know how something that doesn't have sex can inbreed, care to explain? They reproduce asexually, its kind of like natures cloning (big oversimplification, I know). Even so, if the initial population is large and diverse enough (and they "bred", which E. Coli does not) inbreeding wouldn't be an issue. Not like its hard to fit a couple trillion bacteria anyplace.

If you were going to buy a new, fuel efficient car why in the hell would you buy American? If 90% of the people go out and buy an import how is that going to help GM, Chrysler and Ford? I went here (http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/byMPG.htm) when I first heard about the program and went looking for a vehicle that would net me the 4.5k stimulus package. Since my old shit bucket gets 23 mpg average (by their rating system) I would need a car that gets at least 33 average to score the $4,500. How many US made cars came up? 2. Both Fords. Really only one car, because the 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid and 2010 Mercury Milan hybrid are basically the same car (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_CD3_platform). The problem is that US car companies have basically done nothing to improve fuel economy in the last 10 years. Why now, 11 years after my Oldsmobile Alero was made, is it still considered to have good fuel economy? Have we made so little progress? Why is my newer Toyota Tacoma, which is much less aerodynamic and heavier, getting almost the same mpg rating (22 mpg average)? Why does Ford, the only major car company in America on that government list, need a hybrid engine to top 35 when half the Japanese and European cars on the list are standard gasoline types? As you can see I'm not a big fan of US made cars, not only because of their notoriously poor quality (which has gotten much better as of late) but poor mpg ratings and much shorter lifespans. While I can't really think of a future without Ford, GM, etc, I have very mixed feelings about the botched Bush Bailout, and little better Obama follow up. Even so I know that THIS program, which may stimulate the economy and car sector as a whole, wont help domestic car makes as much as it will imports.

We have a similar deal here where I live. Basically you are not paying for the bag, you are paying for them to haul whats in the bag away. Instead of paying a fixed amount to haul the garbage out of a city supplied can once a week (weather theres garbage in the can or not), you fill X number of bags at $2 a bag and they haul that off once a week if needed. Its a great way to save money if you only throw out 4 bags a month, which is about how many you could fit inside the city supplied can around here (the bags here are much larger then a standard kitchen bag). It also encourages people to recycle more so less reusable stuff goes to the landfill. Now if you are a pig or have a large family and are throwing out 2 city cans worth of garbage a week its very much not a good deal, you end up paying a shitload more to dump your waste then if you paid a flat rate per week/month.

No, thats one good reason. Being "free" and "not costing money" are the same thing. Don't through around the word free when you mean FOSS or simply open source.
