Actually, you both basically said the same thing. If it's unknown, it's not pertinent to the investigation until Discovery. The judge is ruling that this would create access to information that was previously unknown to the government via self-incrimination, and thus is unconstitutional.
Whether or not you consider modern nuclear power plants the pinnacle of nuclear technology, they do work and, given that the technology has already been developed, they are rather simple to construct given the requisite materials. The reason why it's so difficult for Iran and other nations to produce feasible nuclear programs is not because they can't get the theory nailed down, its because they cant get the materials - because we sanctioned their transmittance as part of the NPT. On the other hand, nuclear power is not a problem for Western nations as we can easily obtain both the chemical engineers and materials. You keep acting as though nuclear power needs to prove itself - it doesn't, it is a fully proven technology in the United States, though I don't know about where you are (Britain?).
That may be true - I am a computer scientist, not a physicist. However, the fact remains that many countries in the world have been doing it successfully for about 50 years now.
Fair enough, I was providing the assumption of being on the equator to simplify things - you understood my point though (there are many places where it shines far less than 12 hours a day). Power transportation, especially if it requires cross-continental DC power lines, would be an extremely difficult undertaking.
We've already gone over the fact that hydroelectric doesn't supply enough power to work all night. In addition, you seem to be forgetting that solar is location dependent. You've already figured in that solar panels (in reality) are about 30% efficient, but the fact that you'd need to 1) spread DC power lines across the country and 2) change infrastructure to account for cross-country DC power (transformers on a massive scale) make it not feasible. Also, solar panels are too fragile for mass generation and cost more in to create than they're worth. Plus, the chemical output (mercury, etc.) poisons nearby water sources. Face it, fission is the way to go write now.
Actually, it's rather simple - as long as you're not Iran. Western nations, even those with pathetic infrastructures like the USSR, were doing it for years. Nuclear power isn't even complicated - I had probably learned most of the fundamentals in physics AP in high school. The reason it's so difficult for Iran is because we make it:-p
Pro-tip: The sun only shines on a certain point a maximum of 12 hours a day, until we think up a better battery (trust me, I've tried, the chemistry is clever enough with galvanic cells, I don't know what else we could do) solar power cannot keep up with all our usage, especially in non-sunny areas of the world. On the other hand, our supply of fissionable materials is large enough that it could sustain us for at least as long as needed to come up with a fusion source - and before you start yelling again like a troll, I'm confident that our hydrogen source is large enough that if we haven't come up with a way off this rock by that time we'll be dead anyway.

A key House committee and the Senate have endorsed O'Malley's proposal to increase the sales tax from 5 to 6 percent and to apply it to a number of services that are now exempt. But the chambers are interested in taxing different services.
The Senate bill passed yesterday would apply the levy to computer services and video arcades. Landscaping had been included but was removed after a public outcry. The House Ways and Means Committee, meanwhile, approved a provision yesterday calling for the taxation of auto repairs and an array of other repair services. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/09/AR2007110901244_2.html?nav=rss_metro&sid=ST2007110902532
20%? Truth sucks, doesn't it.
Yeah, I intern at a web application security comany and its a mix of email for important things (or long threads) and GTalk for light messages across the office. For example, if I wanted to clarify a spec for an xss demo app thats only a few lines of Perl, I'm gonna use GTalk instead of wasting time with a handful of three sentence emails. Granted, its a really relaxed environment and as an IT company there's no problem with making everything digital.
I'm not really sure what you think the NSA is doing... given that SHA was designed by the NSA and that is the de facto standard for hash algorithm (not to mention AES), I don't understand why you think they're "whining" when people use them. I know people who work for the NSA (am dating one) and the one thing I can say is that they're very bright and, as far as i can tell, not intent on tricking the public. This entire thing seems like an honest mistake to me - thus far the NSA has been pretty open about encouraging increased security for everyone who uses their standards.
No hard feelings:) Oh, and you're right about Das Kapital - honestly its not even worth it. Marx just goes on and on at some points about the stupidest stuff for about 200 pages.
Go read Karl Marx's Das Kapital, I did and I have 5s on the World History, European History, and US Government and Politics AP Exams to show for it. Also, my professor has his doctorate in Eastern European studies and I have a recommendation from him. Your credentials are... ?
Socialism is about large government that interferes with economic policy, but also has liberal social policy. Communism is about redistribution of economic wealth. National socialism is fascism, which is neither a liberal social policy nor a free market. What you are relating are communism and fascism which are deceptively similar in that they both are both forms of totalitarian governments. The difference is economic policy - specifically that communism is "for the people," while fascism is "for the state." Either way, saying that the "one difference" between Communism and Fascism is private property is like saying that the only difference between two types of governments is that they're different governments. Well, duuuh.
Heh, sorry for posting so many times: a follow-up. A couple traceroutes show that I'm being bounced directly from Level3 to MIT. If there are no other middle-men (none as I can see) that would make MIT a Tier 2 network which, as far as I can tell, would allow them to lease their backbone to whomever they want, but IANAL. http://www.level3.com/legal/acceptable_use_policy.html They do prohibit illegal activity, which could be a problem in public wifi.
They are arguing the merits of being Tier 1 vs Tier 2 or another node - the point is that MIT is in effect their own service provider and doesn't have to answer to an ISP - which are mostly Tier 3s, or what some call "resellers." (Obviously there's some debate over the practical status, but I think you missed the point that MIT is independent and thus not subject to a "EULA".)

No one can say anything because it is not released yet. Did I not just go over this?

True, but there are certain Carnot efficiencies in those processes.

I take it back - they are not listed. The guy I spoke to must have been smokin' something. I wonder what he meant.... Maybe I2?
