When I lived on Amager about six years ago, the prices were definitely around the 3-4 million mark in the suburbs. Prices fell somewhat once you got out of Copenhagen, but it was still ludicrously expensive. Are you saying the prices droppp

There's a lot of myth and ancient legends insinuating that we're only building our world on top of pillars built by "those who came before", but that's quite expected considering that there are abandoned human settl

An airship seems like the most survivable option for longer missions. I wonder if it would be possible to use one as a carrier for smaller drone-ships. Wind speeds on Venus are quite low, but the force is probably quite insane considering t

I remember talk about a similar ladybug swarm back when I was a kid. It was a dry summer and it was assumed they were looking for areas with more water. Other than that, insects are often quite small and their altitude varies with the weath

I'm fed up with business meetings already. The thought of having to endure them for all of eternity sounds horrible! Reproduction, thanks! Wouldn't mind spending the last 10 years in good health though.

"Life finds a way" is probably one of the more important lessons to be had from sci-fi books/movies. Edit: For the record, I am serious. I'm not saying that this isn't a good idea, but simply assuming the fungus won

Well, a 400 MB is probably good for most people, but it would be really cool if the limit could be adjusted under about:config.

The development (demographically and otherwise) in many first-world countries basically means many people will have to go back to a standard of living comparable to the one our parents/grandparents had in the 70's, and we won&#x2

Sorry, I misunderstood you then. For what it's worth, I couldn't even monitor all my teenager's Internet traffic even if I wanted to. We have had the "there's a lot of wierd stuff on the Net" talk, and there ha

If your child is watching gore vids on the internet then the solution is to sit down and have a very serious talk to the kid -- not to rely on a technical solution to prevent it.

It's the other way around for me. I raise my own chickens and rabbits for meat because it allows me to make sure the animals had a quality of life that surpasses industrial farming by quite a lot. The chickens also keep the back yard f
