They are talking about microscopic black holes. These things will have a radius of 1nm ( I.e. you'd need a microscope to see the track through a rock ).
Something this size would have the mass of a very large mountain ( 10^15kg) , and take 10^20 years ( universe is 10^10 years old ) to evaporate.

I'm skeptical because if these things are kicking about in any appreciable numbers, they would fall into stars and completely eat them.

Still worth looking for, would be a simple job for a team of students.

Have a look on eBay for how much the Sands Clips (the ones that support Rockbox) change hands for. There is still a gap in the market for a small player that doesn't have a bullshit interface.

I suspect the missing term is for multicellular life. Life on earth appeared pretty quickly, possibly within 100s of million years of the oceans forming.

Then theres a 3 billion year wait for multicellular life, and from there we get nervous systems and brains pretty quickly.

Would that be the staff that went back to Spain and Italy?

More like UK announces measures after it becomes clear that the general population cant stop themselves going to the park when its sunny.

I know you are probably being paid to be an idiot on the internet, although God knows there are plenty of volunteers too, but ...

... There is a fucking picture of trees in the arctic right there in the article you didn't even bother to look at.

This is possibly related to immigration. Theres been a few problems in the UK where immigrants from countries that don't have a culture of public swimming get into difficulty. UK seas have rip tides, soft sandbanks, large tidal ranges, and cold water that don't occur in their home countries.

It could be age related, in that the age profiles of male/female doctors are different, and there is a larger ratio of male doctors in their declining years making more "old person" mistakes than the women.

But my pet theory is that women are better doctors.

Isn't plastics in the ocean environment one of the worst?

So a car could run for most of the journey on autopilot, and hand over to the self driving system for short periods?

Already suggested

You could shove one in soft fruit and claim it was immobilized by bananas. Its inaccurate and misleading to refer to features of the device that had nothing to do with how it was used to immobilize the car.

I use a computer monitor with speakers, connected to a PVR.

Speakers are a pair of USB powered 3.5mm jack cheapo jobbies. Volume is controlled through the PVR,

The only "Smarts" are in the PVR, which the manufacturer has stopped shipping updates for, cos thier next all singing all dancing model was android based, and they seem to have moved the entire team across to develop craplets for that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R... has no moving parts, no coin slot to clog up. One somewhere where plants won't swamp it, but no too exposed that the weather gets it.
