CAPCOM: What happens now?
Butch Wilmore: Well, now, Sunita and I wait until the capsule has landed, and then leap out of the capsule, taking the New Mexicans by surprise. Not only by surprise, but totally unarmed!
CAPCOM: Who leaps out?
Butch Wilmore: Erm, Sunita and

True, but it was never explicitly disallowed either - it's been part of the "value" for a Netflix subscription.
From the Netflix terms of service:
4.3. You may access the Netflix content primarily within the country in which you have established your account and only in geographic locations where we offer our service and have licensed such content. The content that may be available will vary by geographic location and will change from time to time.
and
4.5. Some Netflix content is available for temporary download and offline viewing on certain supported devices ("Offline Titles"). [...] Some Offline Titles may not be playable in certain countries and if you go online in a country where you would not be able to stream that Offline Title, the Offline Title will not be playable while you are in that country.
They don't explicitly mention VPNs, but it is clear you are only supposed to watch what is licensed in your country.
True. They're about to find out what it means to vote for these things.
When did young people, fresh out of school, have time to cast many well-informed votes to shape the current business landscape?
If you want good swedish food, you would usually expect at least the chef to be swedish.
Agreed, although their instructions are sometimes difficult to follow. Bork bork bork!
Kind of like the Slashdot staff and the "Most Discussed" sidebar. Anybody notice that it hasn't changed in a week?
As far as I can tell, none of the slashboxes has updated in two weeks. Must be a beta thing.
This is an animated synthesis of global CO2 measurements, with some historical records added afterwards:
CO2 levels are monitored all over the globe:

and they are trending up everywhere. And they're much higher than they have been for at least 800,000 years.
Ice levels at the north pole are shrinking, but Antarctic ice levels are setting new records highs. There has been zero net change globally.
Glaciologists appear to disagree: http://climatecrocks.com/2012/11/08/new-video-antarctic-versus-arctic-ice-apples-and-oranges/.
Humans contribute 2% of greenhouse gas emissions globally.*
This page does not address the relative amounts of natural and human-caused greenhouse gas emissions.
The 2% figure occurs in the pie diagram showing different types of greenhouse gases, all of them expelled into the atmosphere by human activities, of which the hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's) and related synthetic compounds make up 2%. The 2% figure is repeated below figure 4 for "human-made gases", but this appears to be a rather ill-chosen way of indicated that these compounds do not occur naturally at all, while the other greenhouse gases in the pie chart also have natural sources. But again, the entire page only talks about the composition of man-made greenhouse emissions, and does not make any claims how big these are compared to gases emitted by natural processes.
I have been looking for more information on the relative contributions of natural and artificial CO2 emissions. So far the most succinct description I found is this: "How do human CO2 emissions compare to natural CO2 emissions?".
Pound for pound, the amoeba is the most vicious animal on earth.
