I guess that makes us one vertex of the Anti-Bermuda-Triangle. Its a wonder more planes haven't gone missing.
But we do still have some bits of your Skylab that crashed here. Coincidence?

You mean sophisticated malware in the hands of a known terrorist organisation?

Two of the DGSE killers were caught and imprisoned in New Zealand, but the French government threatened crippling EU trade sanctions if they were not released.

Not really. It is still 700 million years for U235. A few times almost no radiation is still almost nothing.
A few kilos of uranium would be no worse than sleeping over a pile of bananas.

Its things like radium and plutonium, that are orders of magnitude more unstable, where you need to start considering the hazard.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Doxing (from dox, abbreviation of documents),[1] or doxxing,[2][3] is the Internet-based practice of researching and broadcasting personally identifiable information about an individual.[3][4][5][6] The methods employed to acquire this information include searching publicly available databases and social media websites (like Facebook), hacking, and social engineering. It is closely related to cyber-vigilantism, hacktivism and cyber-bullying.

Doxing may be carried out to aid law enforcement, business analysis, extortion, coercion, harassment, public shaming and other forms of vigilante justice.[7][8]

How is this remotely of any interest to science, or the slashdot community?
Does it overturn some previous hypothesis that twin births are a recent phenomenon?

No shit! Was the village ultrasound machine broken?
How does this pointless crap make it to the front page of slashdot?

I'm just on the arsehole spectrum, you insensitive clod.

Too late. Median is a perfectly valid type of average. Mean is another. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A...

These are the same companies where as much as 40% of sick leave is taken on a Monday or Friday.

this being a math thread, I have to tell you that the buy/rent is 10 years. It is not as ratio, as it has units.
However, as an Australian, that sounds awfully cheap. In fact, US cities dominate the bottom of that table.
In Birmingham Al, or New Jersey, a home only costs 6 months income. Whats the catch?

Just read that twice and shook my head.
  I suppose thats what I must sound like to a real physicist.

But for every equation or citation in my post, I lose half my audience.

Thats a bit like asking what is south of the south pole.

Again, I was responding to "USA is as culturally diverse as all of Europe.".

I think you vastly underestimated the importance of institutions and how Americanised immigrants have become (aside from Hispanics). You are comparing a zoo to the actual jungle.

Plus, I forget that "diversity" has become a politicised buzzword in the US, and that is the sense you were using? Sure the US has Polish people, and Polish community centres. But they are still integrated in US culture and institutions. They go to schools and workplaces which are thoroughly American.

Compare Norway to Albania - you will not find any two states in the US with the tiniest fraction of that difference.

Sure. But that is very different from diversity within a continent. You might even say it is the antithesis. Mix all the people up, and you get bland uniformity. (Not entirely a bad thing, see Yugoslavia.)

So they are not isolated. What you describe is homogenisation; a loss of cultural diversity. Every town is becoming the same.

Me? Bad assumption there.

You seem to be confusing local racial mix (the US political euphemistic sense) with continent wide diversity. If every town has a mix of all the people, that means all towns are the same. It is the polar opposite of diversity - bland uniformity.
