All of that is true and I'm assuming the smaller Canadian airports don't fly into LGA because LGA does not have customs and immigration.

It does, but you clear customs in Canada.

That was Punch The Monkey.

... but I can't seem to find the answer to my question in the article.

What exactly are they going to be using the graphene for?
Is it going to be used for the actual conductive material on circuit boards?
Is it going to be used to improve cellphone antennas?
Is it going to be used to greatly increase the structural integrity of the phone casing and/or screen?
Is it going to be used for some new smell-o-vision capabilities in future phones?!
Heat-sink? Transistors? ... Your own personal space elevator?!?

orkut is on the list.
The list is linked from the article.
While orkut may be very popular in a few select countries, it never really caught on worldwide. Personally, I stopped using it because of the massive amount of people that didn't respect the rules and would blast our "English only" community boards with Portuguese. (Back then, it was commonly referred to as the "Crazy Brazilian Invasion".) Us "uneducated folk" could never carry on decent conversations when every single conversation would branch off into 2 or more languages. So we left and waited for Facebook to set up community pages.

stare him directly in the eyes and, in an outrageous French accent, curtly state "MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!"

Funny. At first glance I thought it was actually "HCl", which is something that you would not exactly want on your head.

Interesting. Now I'd like to see someone come up with statistics like these for Westeros.
I want to know things like:
  - what the population of Westeros needed to be in order to supply enough man-power to populate and guard all of the castles along the Wall?
  - and what kind of crime-rate would that imply?
  - and why are there only "nine free cities" in Essos? shouldn't there be potentially hundreds of large cities scattered across the continent if this civilization has been around for somethign like 10,000+ years?

I've been thinking about this stuff lately and it kinda seems to me that humanity is on the verge of extinction.
Yep. I honestly don't think ANYONE in the WORLD will survive these books when he finally finishes writing them!

No serious science fiction writer in their right mind seriously thinks they can accurately predict the future

I knew someone was gonna say that.

I'm at the other end of the spectrum from you.
I wouldn't pay for a 16GB one. I'm using my 8GB Nexus7 as primarily an eBook reader plus have a bunch of MP3s loaded onto it for background music while I'm reading. (well, and also for the general sweetness of other Google/Android apps.)

The way I see it, I'm only really going to be using the network capabilities of my Nexus7 in places where I have Wifi (home, office, possibly friend's places) so I don't see a real need for a large storage capacity. It's not like I'm going to be using it while driving to/from work or going out bar-hopping in the evenings. And I don't think I would ever really want to load more than 1 movie onto it at a time [ie. for a plane trip or something].

For me, 8GB should be more than enough.
For others, 16GB might still not quite satisfy.

Personally, paying 25% more for the product isn't worth extra storage space that I would never use. I think Google did a good job at offering these 2 options to try and satisfy us both. Although I DO agree that an SD slot would have actually been the ideal solution.

Hey, if you're going to misquote things, why stop there? Why not just use the quote:

has also granted the Department the authority to seize private facilities

It's all meant to be used only "during a crisis or emergency". "to obtain, to the maximum extent practicable, the survivability of NS/EP [national security and emergency preparedness] communications under all circumstances".

I honestly don't see why this Executive Order was even necessary, considering the law can already commandeer vehicles in cases of reasonable necessity. If there is a crisis, it is your civic duty to assist if the authorities request it. How would communications equipment be any different?

In 2011, Congress considered similar provisions in cybersecurity legislation, which would have allowed the government to disconnect communications traffic in times of national security. Following public protest, congress abandoned the proposal.

Basically, it sounds like the Prez got sick of yet another issue that seemed to get stuck in congress, so he went ahead and passed it anyways.

And one model adds that 'The industry is now moving towards making models show more skin.'

Is it weird that I'm actually impressed that, not only did one of these models come to this stunning realization, but that she could also pronounce a 3-syllable word.

Girls, it's really a basic marketing strategy. For young kids, put bright colors into your product to attract their attention. For adults, sex sells. You use your gimic to draw them in to get a better look at your product.
At least, that's how I sees it.
