With the risk of this being "Scotlands" space port ..

Lots of mentioning of scotland in the text.

I'm not well aware of the positiong issue you mention, though I do understand that part =P
Was is the advantage of the opposite such as the Esrange (Kiruna) base here in Sweden?

The amount of space available?
They mention " investigation of the aurora borealis" here so maybe that's it? http://digilander.libero.it/lo...

Yeah, why bother with Chess?

How does it matter really?

I remember reading on BGG how someone brought Hive (http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/2655/hive) to some group of (children? I'm quite sure) chess players (possibly related to his or her own kids?) they tried it out and of course they wanted to play Hive rather than Chess (it was new for them) and he/her was told to not bring it any more.

Even though it's not very different. Move (and in Hive case place) your different pieces around until you win.

How DNA by itself work doesn't learn anything new or adapt either (well, maybe it do and over long terms and whatever, I'm talking about how the base pairs are connected not the what is written using it.)

because trains!

Actually I don't know about Russia either.

In Soviet America? .. :D

In soviet russia your e-mail communication reads you! .. and in the US, Sweden (I don't dare typing UK, Denmark, possibly Australia and so on because I don't really know, guess it happen in China too.)

They label us as religious extremisms for our belief in the power of the source and trying to force our beliefs onto others (that may be why they mention Linux but not BSD.)

They know BSD is dying and that the problem will take care of itself.

But the NSA is the only (?) terrorist group with armed aircraft drones.

Heck screw that, I wish I said neon pink.

It was originally a "brown" reference regarding Apples view of the .. Zune, took a while to call back the name.

But a brown watch didn't seemed nasty enough. Now neon colors - They are still nasty!

.. available in the best of colors: mustard.

How someone made a chart comparing the amount of plastic in the ocean and the number of IE6 installs? Maybe there's some correlation there?

Possible answers:

1) Aliens and their visits to planet earth is real and they are helping us clean up the oceans.

2) The air-planes are spraying some chemical compound or organism which break down plastic / hydrocarbons.

(3) All the plastic can be found in the Bermuda triangle.

So on so on.)

If only we could get Jon Lech Johansen working on this!

Because we have more CO2 in the atmosphere when we used to have for a long time and the amounts increase fast.

Like so:
