* This is a family-sized drink for multiple people. Please do not assume it is intended for a single consumer in one sitting.

Coke + Candy Bar = 440 calories (more or less). Diet Coke + Candy Bar = 220 calories. I don't get the big deal. You've chosen to reduce the calories consumed by going diet. Makes a terrible snack half as bad.

...which is why we should use theirs up first and leave ours in the ground for later.

The story hit the news and the customers of the bank are now aware that this particular branch ignored warnings that could have greatly limited the loss of their (former) valued customer. Regardless of whose fault it was legally, every customer of that bank should give a second thought to their patronage. Perhaps…

Android phones have never had this sort of tether that Apple just ditched. I would imagine that you could look at Android bandwidth figures to get an idea for iOS5 bandwidth consumption.

That radio collar can be tracked by anyone with the equipment to listen. Even if you are ignoring the deer, it is still transmitting its location.

Knowing which hot spots I can receive is being used to give an approximate location of my phone, probably using triangulation of something similar. It may not tell you where I am to less than 100 feet, but it does tell you roughly where I am, how long I was there, and which direction I traveled after leaving. If any…

Shananies must be referring to lubricants.

Dadudemon is right. The primary difference between transsexual and transgendered is one has had the surgery and the other has not.

My Xoom was $599 with 32GB (and an SD card slot that doesn't work yet. Ahem.) The bezel is far narrower than the Acer beast and compares well with the iPad1 for thickness. Holding both at the same time, The Xoom is a tad heavier, but not much. It has a great, solid feel to it.

HTC Nexus One on AT&T. I've been snacking on Gingerbread for weeks.

If the students sitting behind or alongside you can see you surfing and can view the material, it can be disruptive. Also, if no one else is using a laptop, the constant clacking of the keys could provide a distraction. If the student is chatting with someone, the constant returning to the keyboard to respond or the…

Having taught college as well, I can tell you that some of this behavior can be disrupting to other students who are trying to pay attention. So while I agree that non-disruptive behavior should be ignored, if I were to see a student distracting others, I would be obligated to intervene. After all, the rest of the…

The Yucca Mountain study looked at all of these options and glassification, and others as well.

When we stop thinking of this stuff was "waste" and start thinking of it as a valuable future resource, we can really get down to figuring out what to do with it.

Depleted Uranium is a byproduct of enrichment; it doesn't go in the reactor. It's not health stuff, though. I used to truck it around in Korea. A-10's use it for armor piercing rounds in the main cannon.

I have actually been to Yucca Mountain. I can tell you that it is and has been for a very long time restricted due to the DOE Nuclear Testing facilities that surround it. Above and below ground tests were done nearby. "Plutonium Valley" isn't far from it where we blew up a plane with a nuclear bomb on it to see…

Or lead people to create man-made nesting structures for the spiders, like we already do for birds, bats, and lady beetles.

We've got Cane Toads (called "Bufo" toads) here in Florida. They are quite bad to have around, especially in our urban, dog-friendly area. Although I haven't seen as many since we got the past two cold snaps in 2010 and 2011. They devastate the local ecology.

Corn-based ethanol has increased costs of food in exchange for building a basic infrastructure for ethanol or similar fuels. That same infrastructure makes cellulosic ethanol projects look more reasonable to investors. This was the answer to the "chicken and egg" problem with developing a new fuel infrastructure. …
