Great recommendations, though that PSU is waaaaay more than is needed for that hardware. Even 500W would be more than enough.

The demonization of saturated fats was specifically because they used to not differentiate between trans fats and saturated fats in studies. Trans fats made sat. fats look bad. They are bad for you, full stop.

The people that drafted the US constitution by and large didn't want political parties, viewing them as overall harmful, and so our system isn't really built to handle them. They started to form while our first president was in office, though, so we can see how well that worked out.

In the US, you would be a liberal (left of center). None of the things you listed would make you the slightest bit "conservative," as it's defined here.

The American revolution happened when wealthy people grew dissatisfied with the status quo. Most people would have been perfectly happy for things to continue as they were.

Europeans should have a pretty damn good understanding that things can get really, really, really bad without people revolting.

I'm not particularly attached to either pronunciation of methane, but I'll fix how I say Lego if you guys fix aluminum.

Yes.

Not successfully banned, but in the US HDM was the 8th most "challenged" book from 2000-2009 and the 2nd most challenged in 2008. Mostly a result of a campaign against it by The Catholic League, yes.

You know what bends and flexes to absorb the impact energy? Plastic. But nope! All phones must be made of aluminum and glass! It was written in the book of Jobs!

At issue is this piece of law

(1) Advanced telecommunications capability: The term 'advanced telecommunications capability' is defined, without regard to any transmission media or technology, as high-speed, switched, broadband telecommunications capability that enables users to originate and receive high-quality voice, data, graphics, and video telecommunications using any technology.

By the standards of today, 4Mbps may satisfy the requirement to "receive high-quality ...video telecommunications," if only one person in a household is attempting to use the line, but 1Mbps absolutely does not satisfy the "originate" piece.

Look, come on, this is easy. The percentage of adherents of any religion that are "fully observant" is vanishingly small. The Jewish and Christian (by extension) texts are full of "such and such infraction requires death" rules. Ancient desert religions are full of dumb rules, and modern practitioners pick and choose which of those dumb things they can throw away.

There are a few transcoding DLNA servers that make things much nicer (though far from perfect) on the PS3. The benchmark is PS3 Media Server. http://www.ps3mediaserver.org/ (it'll work with other clients, too, but it was designed for transcoding and streaming to the PS3).

It's (maybe) in a bubble in a sense that we have numerous high-profile companies with market valuations that seem to outsize their actual physical worth/ability to produce profit/whatever. Apple, Google, Facebook, etc.
