Unless he has some very old gear there is a voltage converter built in. Buy plug converters in any electronic store on the spot.

And it involves sending a lot of baseball players to space, with steady supplies of baseball bats.

Value Added Tax would have been an excellent solution - if only it was the only solution used.

Not nearly all Wikimedia domains are included there, for example only handful of wikipedia.* is that because the other ones are only redirects or something?

Because of statistics the church boasts in some places. Over in my country, for example, statistics say 90-95% is Roman Catholic and they use it for political influence significantly.
Although it doesn't make sense in all scenarios.

Excluding yourself from Christian church (Catholic, at least) is a standard procedure, I personally know at least 2 people who did this and I am considering this myself. All you need is your a copy of baptism certificate and two witnesses. Many people do it.

I just finished playing Deus Ex.

This makes me feel very weird.

I very much like this being Insightful =)

IT needs to improve very FAST or we will face a serious problem. If our kids are not tought(sp?) engineering-entry-to-uni level of IT in primary school, they are not going to do any good in modern world. Otherwise will face the fact that the world is driven by technology which is only understood by small fraction of population, and this fraction is getting smaller.

Now this is what I haven't written in the post before, since I wasn't sure. I know that it would be dangerous, but just how dangerous? I took a look and it seems it has been proposed that a supernova explosion at the distance of roughly 100 light years away was the cause of Ordovician Extinction which killed 60% of species on Earth by depleting the ozone layer through chemical reactions in the atmosphere that were the aftermath of the explosion.

Further reading of this article says apparently in 1998 we were hit by gamma/x rays from supernova explosion 600 LY years away. So there definitely is a danger zone up to where? 300 LY? Another question: Would the explosion that is near enough to cause serious damage (as in, killing most people) be visible by observers BEFORE gamma and x rays do any visible damage?

200 million, not 200
