The funny thing is that the Russians never intended to have a manned mission to the moon - they only started trying after they found out the Americans wanted to go to the moon. Yet the reason why the Americans went to the moon is because they thought the Russians would go there next. Hence someone needs to start spreading rumours about every space faring nation having a super advanced manned mission to mars and before you know it the plan will be pushed forward to next thursday.
Because unlike IE and safari they didn't treat everything from the Internet as potentially dangerous and provide additional security mechanisms. This is not the first time they were caught out with such a issue.
Wasn't old Kaiser Willie the imbecile who started world war I with no hope of winning and then abdicated when defeat was at hand? What a glorious hero.
The old XBox didn't make any money either - however the long term tactic of Microsoft is to break into the market even if it means losing money. Granted it was supposed to happen with this console but I'm sure they have to money to ride it out.
As much as you would like to blame the government for Enron its one of the clear cases where the government was completely irrelevant to what happened. As for your other comment - it is the inevitable reality of capitalism that small companies will merge into bigger companies until you get the mega corporations you see today. In fact the only reason its not completely out of control is because of intervention by the government which you very much despise and their anti-trust laws.
You are completely right sir! We shouldn't let the incompetent government near us! Lets put all our services in the hands of model corporations like Enron. They are never inefficient!
Yeah but look how much it rose by from last year. Anyone who gets in on it early and establishes a dominant market share will be golden in a few years.
What's the point of weathering a backlash by doing business in china and acquiescing to the government demands of censorship if after all that they just stab you in the back anyway?
Its not that simple - often these calculations do not factor things like security (which is something specific to nuclear power) and the cost of disposal, which is not a immediate cost. As well you have dismantling costs which need to be recovered before the end of the power plant's life (which are around 300 million for a normal plant). On top of that the cost of nuclear fuel is increasing - around 45% of current supply comes from decommissioned Russian military materiel - once this runs out combined with the decreasing supply from other sources (check the wiki article) and increased consumption around the world will push the price even higher.
I'm not sure what figures you used but 6 years is very optimistic.
If we build more nuclear power plants we would have to raise energy rates - unless government is willing to pay the mammoth construction costs of nuclear power plants. Any completely private venture to build a nuclear power plant is uneconomical as it takes decades before you can return the cost of investment.

Last I heard the teutonic plate theory drowned under the thin ice while it was battling for superiority with the Russian cossack theory
Well if less people died then was previously thought then its not as harmful as previously thought. What sort of thing were you looking for?
Try reading the article instead of picking holes in research based on a 5 line summary.
Well they have to give 10% of the fuel in taxes as well...
A fan of starship troopers I see.
Isn't it the other way around? The ID crowd says only devolution can occur? Perhaps slashdot can be used as evidence for their cause?

Could you incrementally move a marker outside the 200m zone?

What do you need?
The plant's spiritual energy and karma are getting back at them for eating it.
It was the winning submission for a new name for the NSA, just edged out ministry of love.

And they say mathematics never ruined anyone's life...
That is the correct answer - all modern calculators are descended from a competitor's model which incorrectly calculated 9+9 to be 18.

Such is the great cycle of Putin
