3 years ago, I registered for a prestigious international conference. I didn't notice it at first, but their password field was broken, and pwdhash didn't convert my master password before sending it. 5 minutes later, I receive a confirmation email from the organisers. The password was in clear text in the second line....
The problem is that 300M people saying "It's convenient and I don't care about 5W" sums up to 1.5GW, which is the output of a nuclear reactor. Ever heard of peak oil and global warming? We'll have to save a lot of energy, so why not begin with the low hanging fruit?
Also, if you connect all your peripherals to a switchable power strip you can avoid parasitic draw for your computer, display, external hard drives, speakers...
No. It's not "someone somewhere", it is the same entity : D-Bahn. Their core business is actually to transport people safely, on time and at a reasonable cost. They fail on those 3 points, and concentrating on anti-graffiti drones surely won't help.
Sorry, but WTF Deutsche Bahn??? There have been 3 trains that derailed in Stuttgart last year, and one runaway train that luckily didn't kill anybody because it happened at 4am. Stuttgart is the city that gave you Mercedes Benz, Bosch and Porsche. They seriously have better things to do than to care about graffitis.
Exactly. The average car has 134hp in Germany. They weren't that many people in history with more than 100 horses.
And all this quality of life that you described has been made possible by cheap and widely available energy. It probably will be impacted by peak-oil and climate change though....
Most of the time when a picture or video has been faked or photoshopped, you can probably tell if you look at it carefully. Their usually isn't something quite right, about it, that most people will miss.
Fun fact : take a jpg directly out of camera, don't change anything about it, and tell people you photoshopped something in it. It's pretty funny to get answers like "shadows look totally wrong" or "his head is far too big for his body":D
That's incredible. They should file a patent in order to protect their original research. They would get billions from fridge/heat pump/cooling tower manufacturers or anybody who sweats!
Insightful indeed. My girlfriend has been dealing with post-partum psychosis for 2 years, and she's slowly getting better. At first, she was so impacted by the illness that she didn't realize it and was kinda happy the way she was. That left me alone with a kid and a very sick girlfriend. I'm an atheist, but I'd loved to have this invisible friend next to me, loving me and giving me strength to fight every single day. I know faith doesn't help for everything and doesn't answer every question, but it was the only time in my life I "found my lack of faith disturbing":D Now? I'm happy and proud we've done it without an imaginary friend.
First, this guy developed the first transgenic soybean, which has then been sold by Monsanto ( http://www.sciforum.hu/programme/speakers/paul-christou-research-professor-university-of-leida-spain.html ). What else is he gonna say? Then, there's enough food everywhere for everybody provided : it's seasonal, regional and mostly vegetarian. Sure, if you want huge steaks for every meal, with tomato salads, mango and strawberries for dessert all year round, you'll need a lot of antibiotics, pesticides, GMO's, oil and water.

It depends where those trillion dollars are going.
You already spent trillions for banksters, why not invest one more for energy savings?
Congratulations!
You're like an obese guy making fun of a skinny girl because he lost 5 pounds more than her.
And that's the biggest problem. Civil aviation will die with oil resources.
Well, those aircraft don't have a bright future anyway with peak oil and climate change.

You have to pay for those???
I'd rather be an official google employee with a streetview backpack.

Holy shit.
I just lost my geek card!
I think it's a necessity to have fun.
Yes, life can be hard, cruel and short, but those are all reasons to enjoy it anytime you have the possibility.
Exactly :D

So, how can you prove this statement?
That's bullshit logic.

Oh, so terrorism was a good thing back then?

Cost per Megawatt?
As in installed nominal power? Surely not.
Cost per Megawatthour?
As in total produced energy over nuke lifetime? Maybe
Nukes work almost all year long while solar panels and wind turbines work somewhere between 800 and 2000 hours a year.
So what do you get so many CCTV's everywhere in the UK?
