Should be fun running the power lines from the nuclear plant. Lots of wire, poles to keep it the wires off the ground, or good insulation. Going to be interesting how to cool the nuclear plant as well, generally they're just fancy steam engines, so steam has to be re-condensed etc. Might be better working fluids then water, which likely would need shipping to Mars. At least nuclear avoids the pitfalls of solar, namely the dust storms. Just have to keep the cooling radiators clear of that insulating dust.
As Hognoxious implied, things can change making shipping food half way around the world very inefficient, and air lifting food for 10's of millions of people is not efficient. Even a small country like the UK has tons of land suitable for food production and I'm a firm believer in diversity when it comes to the economy. America is a bad example as your well situated to feed yourself, perhaps without bananas but with stables including lots of vegies. Doesn't hurt to keep trade open as droughts and such do happen. Eventually there is going to be something big, as in a huge volcanic eruption, which will really strain our food production.
My older cheap Moto E handles all 4 systems, or at lest sees all their satellites. Currently sees 18 satellites of which 6 (4+2) are not GPS. Once all the competing systems finish coming on line, it should work good enough.
It's better to be inefficient then depending on a foreign power for your food. Previous government here was arguing that we could buy our food from China (how the world has changed) and that the free market would take care of food safety, those Chinese would never have unsafe food as it would be bad for business. Now, half a dozen years later, the Chinese are really pissed off at us and would possibly cut us off if we were that dependent. Our allies such as America are undependable as well.
As mentioned, the original Statute of Queen Anne made Oxford and (or was it or?) Cambridge libraries the archivers. As far as I know, the universities were not considered government or perhaps kinda like a municipal government. If you don't like/trust government, a couple of large universities may work.
One of the reasons to deposit a copy of a work in a large library (originally Oxford and/or Cambridge, Library of Congress in America) was so a copy was available after the work entered the public domain. Lots of works have been lost, either accidentally or on purpose. Wiki has a huge list of lost films for example. Some were lost in fires and such and others were removed on purpose, to recycle the film stock or just to get rid of it. In this day, digital copy is very easy to archive.
The original copyright law was 14 years with the possibility of a 14 year extension if you made the effort along with a 35 year grandfather clause with the reasoning that it was to promote learning. The Americans copied that into their Constitution with limited time and for the advancement off the arts and sciences, which pretty well covered learning at the time and the first American law was also 14+14. The real problem was that the publishers of the day, the stationers, managed to come up with this protecting the artist argument when it was always about protecting the publishers, who usually paid a pittance to the artist for unlimited rights.
You mean the war partially based on Christianity in China that may have killed a 100 million? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... Be interesting to know how many were killed in the process of stealing most of a continent as well.
And they hated it, too many compromises and their plan was to come up with a better one within a decade or two, not to create a religion around it including making it unchangeable in many ways. I doubt they'd like a country that sees police routinely kill people, people in large quantities locked up, and especially a huge standing army, even passed the second amendment to make sure the people were armed and didn't need a standing army. They'd also be horrified by all the exceptions to the first 2 amendments. People actually getting executed for speech as if the 1st mentioned a national security exception and a think of the children exception as well as all the reasons that people can't be armed and government buildings where arms are banned. They'd also be horrified at people being thrown in prison for possessing hemp, something they all grew and likely used.
My cheap Moto E didn't and doesn't have Facebook on it. The only extras were a file manager, FM radio app and a lost device locator app, none of which run in the background, well the FM radio can. It does have too much Google crap on it though.
It also has to do with blocking websites. My ISP broke net neutrality when it blocked the unions site along with a few hundred other sites on the same server. It can also be about blocking your VOIP client or VPN because they want you to use theirs.
True. What Mad shows is that private enterprise can have a lot of power over what is said as well. While not put in jail power, it can be take away means of making a living power.
I guess they've already succeeded in making your speech correct. For me, it has always been the right that gets upset and censors shit, and fuck. try going on national TV during children's hour and say fuck and see which side responds, or worse, show a female boob, even with the nipple covered during the superbowl.
My mistake, 512 KBs of ram, a fairly common setup using applied Engineering hardware amongst others. Shit my Ii+ had 384 Kbs of ram, 128 KB memory card that went in slot 0, 8 banks of 16 KBs wedged into the 12 KB ROM space and a Transwarp with 256 KBs of which about 192 KBs was easily usable as the IIe type extended memory, zero and the stack along with the language card area swapable as well the main 48KBs minus video ram area, usually $400-$7FF and $2000-$3FFF. IIE software with slight patching happily used the 2 extra 64KB banks of memory. Had to write my own stuff to use it all. And of course, while Jobs was pushing the MAC, he was going on about "Apple II forever", have InCider magazines around here quoting him. The GS was in development after years of trying to have the IIx when Jobs left and he slowed it down a lot and that culture continued. The GS could have easily been released with a 8-12 MHz processor.
Funny enough, while typing the above, I still kept typing MB instead of KB, lot of time has gone by including a lot of time with MBs of ram and storage.
Huh? Mad magazine is well known for not having ads so as to satirize without fear. To quote publisher Bill Gaines, "We long ago decided we couldn't take money from Pepsi-Cola and make fun of Coca-Cola." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Never seen an actual Onion magazine
Huh? I can think of a few neighborhoods who have successfully lobbied city hall to change the streets, speed bumps and even blocking roads, to limit who can drive on their roads, usually targeting through drivers, occasionally trucks. Any neighborhood has the right to lobby city hall to get traffic changes in their neighborhood. In some countries, they can also use an envelope of money or campaign contribution to help their case. They may not be able to actually stop individuals from using the roads, but they can sure discourage them.
The Apple IIE, with 512MBs of ram installed and perhaps an accelerator card/chip installed running Appleworks consistently outperformed the IBM PC with similar specs doing similar office type work. Yes, both were crap with minimal specs and needed upgrading. Besides, as you say, businesses putting more trust in IBM, what really killed the Apple II was Steve Jobs, who treated the II as a cash cow to support his idea of the future, a none expandable toaster type computer that couldn't even do colour. I remember him saying as much, "users don't need colour". Due to his decisions, the Apple II was hamstrung. Eventually they did release the GS, but even it was hamstrung. It was easy to add ram and a 8-12 MHz CPU and it shone, faster then a MAC with colour and a huge amount of software, expandable too with things like the ADB bus before the MAC. Jobs didn't want the competition as much as he went on about "Apple II forever". BTW, the Apple II was also released with full hardware documentation and source code for the ROM, difference was Apple was very aggressive with suing clone makers and by the time someone did a successful closed room clone (Lazer), it was too late.
Well what should we do about the religious snowflakes? Perhaps get rid of freedom of religion and as someone above suggested, murder all the religious right wing nut jobs that are so easily offended by body parts and natural things like sex?
Which of course raises the question of how big the tsunami will be when it reaches Japan. Luckily I'm 800 ft above sea level, still be weird if the town gets wiped out

Probably took GP's point wrong then. Easy enough to do in an all text world.

I know someone who lost his legs. Yes he did save up and buy a pair and watching him walk, you'd never guess that he has artificial legs.

And you still kowtow to the Saudi's, but you sure taught Saddam a lesson.

I regularly get bills from my ISP with a bit of glossy paper added to the envelope advertising something.

Yes, that's why I mentioned never seeing one.
