ELI5 What would happen if the Yellowstone super volcano erupted?

You're thinking of the Jellystone Super Volcano. Upon eruption, it would cover the entire North American continent with pic-a-nic baskets.

No, don't really listen to that crap, South Beach is fine over Memorial Day weekend. I'm actually throwing a birthday toga party on Ocean & 10th, it should be a ton of fun. You're going to have to wear a party hat, but make sure to put the toga over your head, since it gets smoky down there (and punch out eye holes so you can see!)

I don't know if this title is supposed to be sensationalist or not, but the police were not the ones doing the phone hacking here. I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say.

What ISP do you have? I used to have AT&T UVerse, and I had the exact same problem with Youtube as you do. I switched to Comcast last week, and my problems went away.

I took out teams where Lin wouldn't have the chance at starting next season, which he would in New York (barring any trade magic, which is unlikely). Lin's a smart guy, and I think he'd take the mid-level exception over slightly more money any day of the week to stay in New York and to start games.

I don't think Charlotte would start Lin over Kemba Walker, and anyway, they have a relatively small Asian-American population and wouldn't want to get into a bidding war. There's no he would want to go to Sacramento either, not only due to Evans, but also they way Issiah Thomas has been playing. Portland isn't a bad idea, but they do already have a 2nd year PG in Jonny Flynn; I wouldn't be surprised if they went for a veteran instead.

Also, thinking about it, Toronto would be a natural fit. They could trade Calderon to a contender (owed $10 mil in 2013, his last year under contract), and start Lin, who would be a local hero - remember how the Raptors fans were cheering louder for Lin than any of their own players?

I'm definitely not implying that Lin isn't nationally known, but I could see why NBA owners wouldn't exactly feel comfortable writing him a blank check, too. Even as a Knicks fan, I couldn't really be thrilled if Dolan broke the bank to sign Lin, since that would preclude the Knicks from even thinking about doing something crazy like figuring out a way to sign Dwight Howard or Deron Williams (extremely remote possibilities, I know). I'd hate to see him go, but I honestly don't think the Knicks would be markedly worse if they ended up replacing him with a capable solid veteran, in the Felton mold.

What team is out there that is truly point-guard hungry and has money to spend (even if it was possible to spend big money, which it isn't)? I can't think of too many other teams who are willing to spend big time money on a player whose sole NBA experience is two months of starting time, half of which was excellent, and the other half above-average. New Jersey (assuming Williams goes elsewhere, they could steal some of the Knicks' thunder upon moving to Brooklyn), Phoenix (which doesn't have much of an Asian-American community, and doesn't like spending money), Miami, and LA Lakers (neither of which will spend over the cap for Lin) are the only places where he would even have a chance at starting - I just don't think he's as high of a commodity as you think.

Yaaar. For us non-Brits, it be available on the high seas, in the bay of pirates.

Kind of ironic - DRM was probably more responsible for this game's failure than piracy.

That being said, I don't think either made any bit of difference, since Skyrim got the shit pirated out of it, and you don't see Bethesda moaning about it. They're too busy counting their money.

“I played with the Hackensack Kangaroos for twenty seasons,” he said. “And I made the announcement on ESPN. Y’all didn’t see it? It came on at six o’clock in the morning right after the commemorative coin commercial, ‘Time Life Presents.’”

Well, not really.

“It’s not the official name of the team,” International League spokesman Chris Sprague said. “It’s more of a moniker, like ‘Bombers.’ The official name is still the ‘Scranton/Wilkes-Barre’ Yankees.”

...

Mike Vanderwoude, the Scranton director of broadcasting, said he will call the club the “Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees,” since his primary audience will be the fans of northeast Pennsylvania.

I don't think it's Google's viability that's in question, it's whether Google will continue to support its products, and for how long. Suppose Google enters into a relationship with B&N, to directly compete with Amazon on the e-book front. Google might continue to support Google Books for a time, but how long? Five years? Ten years? It would suck to pay $20 for a new book, and lose access to it after a period of time. Being able to download an epub file (even one with Adobe Editions DRM) would ameliorate the problem.

Has this woman ever watched a movie or a TV show? Doesn't she know what happens to every single cop a few days away from retirement?

If I were about to retire after 32 years on the force, I'd rent a concrete fallout bunker and seal myself in.
