If fracking gets shut down then gas prices will shoot back up IIRC, and there's a LOT of people trying to get fracking stopped. That being said my preferred set up would be a core of nukes providing a baseline with renewables providing most of the power and fossil fuels providing coverage when the renewables fall short.
To be fair, a lot of console gamers are console gamers, not computer gamers so outside of a potential leaning towards MS if they're Xbox fanboys there's not going to be much Windows love there.
1. How much of that is natural cost and how much of it is paranoid over-regulation? How many subsidies do the existing power companies get for things like "clean" coal?
2. There's several designs that either leave very little spent fuel or leave the fuel in contained chunks that are easily disposed of, additionally there's reactor designs that eat the spent fuel from other reactors and spit out less dangerous waste. The problem with waste is not a technical issue from what I've seen, it's a political one.
3. I'm not really even talking about increasing output, that would be simply a nice side-effect, we need to build new reactors because the old ones are crappy, less-safe designs that are near or past their projected lifespans. Replacing them will allow us to improve safety, reduce waste production and increase output all at once.
I'm not sure where you're getting your information from, but we don't have much trouble with that here either. Our biggest issue in that regard is that we still use power poles, which I understand are rare in Europe.
The problem is that energy consumption may be flat, but our population is still growing. I've heard claims that we'll max out at around 9 billion and then decline as more and more countries develop and the tendency of developed nations to have lower birth rates takes hold, but in the meantime we still need power and while renewable is great nuclear is more reliable and simpler to meet the demands with.
I know mutton because I'm a fan of fantasy, without that I probably wouldn't have heard of it. I know hoggett because I went to the wiki page for mutton a few days ago when I was bored.
I'm not certain what the problem is. If someone holds extremist beliefs then it doesn't matter if their a veteran or not, they're as much of a risk as anyone else who holds their beliefs. In fact if anything they're more of a risk since they have training and experience. Would you argue that someone heading an anti-government militia agitating for revolution shouldn't be watched solely because they were in the military? If so, why?
That's actually a somewhat amusing thought, a vast, worldwide conspiracy to oppress and control, the reason they do it is because that's what they were trained to do when they joined the conspiracy, but no one remembers why, it's just what they've ALWAYS done. I can see a movie where the hero confronts the head of the conspiracy and demands to know why and the villain explains how, then the hero demands to know WHY again, and the villain looks confused "I'm not certain what you mean, there always needs to someone in control of the government, I mean, how ELSE would things be?"
How do you know it's on a larger scale? In China most likely everything is monitored all the time and has been since before PRISM and PRISM supposedly requires a warrant for domestic use, most likely the Chinese programs can watch domestically all they want.
Are you in the States? If so anything not labeled lamb probably doesn't sell well and most people likely don't have any idea what "Hoggett" is. Hell most people here probably only vaguely know what Mutton is.
She's not the one being attacked here. If someone was posting that she was obviously a slut and asking for it we'd be posting that that person is an idiot.
No, the request is to admit that there's no conclusive evidence, which is factually true. The reality is that a rape charge is a life-destroying thing, so if there's no compelling evidence that a rape even took place (since it didn't) we shouldn't throw the guy in jail for something without compelling evidence. No one is defending him for attempting to rape her and its disingenuous of you to claim that we are, rather we're RESPONDING to the people saying he should be treated like a rapist with the observation that there's not enough evidence to do so, the ONLY thing that there's evidence for is that there was an altercation and possibly petty theft.
Petty theft from a foreign national who's leaving anyway? That's not going to be worth looking into by the cops, especially since everything appears to have been returned. The possible ramifications is why a lot of people are saying she shouldn't be slinging accusations around that can't be backed up in court. And yes, I remember the other person, that whole shitstorm is one of the many things that makes me glad I don't have kids.
Insofar as it makes her the more credible witness yes, however thievery does NOT imply sexual assault. Her word is NOT enough for a conviction even if he's not a credible witness and she is (at least in a sane world), all that can likely be proven with the evidence we've been presented with is that he's a thief and they had a fight. There's no proof of who started it and there's no evidence that I can tell of sexual assault.
To be clear I believe she's telling the truth, but the chances that it can be proven to an extent that warrants an arrest, much less a conviction, are very low. Based off of the evidence that's we've been presented if I was on a jury I would acquit because there's nothing conclusive.
True enough, doesn't really help though. They have reasonable suspicion that there was an altercation between them and that the guy is a thief. However there's unlikely to be any way to prove who started the violence, and if there's no reasonable way to prove that then a trial won't do anything anyway. It sucks because I do believe that she's likely telling the truth (as well as a witness can at least), but in the end I don't think there's enough here for the cops to go on past petty theft.
Take your projections elsewhere please. No one is saying he was right to try and rape her, all everyone is saying is that there is a lack of evidence needed to prove that's what happened. If you're being attacked then by all means kill your attacker, you won't find any complaints from me.

Smart people looking for fun, novel experiences already have computers.

Ah, so nothing that hasn't been in operation for decades is an acceptable answer. How convenient for you.

Close enough.
She said ALL vetrans should be considered possible terrorists.
I missed that part, that would indeed be an issue.
Can you explain why the breeders are a handwave?

It's going to be pretty ugly in a couple decades. It would be nice if people could be rational and let us build newer reactors.

One problem, you're most likely harassing his secretary, not him.

They're already suspending kids for gun-shaped pop-tarts, it seems like bullies should be higher on their lists than that.

Evidence of assault and robbery, which are very different from rape.
