Solar panels are better solution, because they(in my opinion) cause less negative impact on the surroundings. Wind power uses WIND POWER! Given the right amount of windmills there will be impact on wind currents. Solar power shields us from the thing that brings us the "global warming". Both though are not good long term. Since they alter the way earth has functioned for a long time.
Geothermal, fission and possibly fusion are the correct future.
Hey, hey, hey.... Estonians did a lot to gain their independence, that was their own choice made in a peaceful way. And on a side note: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania left USSR BEFORE it was officially disbanded.
Your comment would be correct, if you actually knew that there a a lot of ethnic Russians and WWII veterans in Estonia, some of them even have Estonian citizenship.
>> Blaming the Estonian government for the situation, though, is bafflingly illogical.
They are to blame. As a citizen of Lithuania, ethnically Russian, I know that a country CAN avoid those problems when they actually TRY to talk to the WWII veteran organizations. The level of integration of minorities into Lithuania society is very good, maybe due to more than 8 centuries living together. Estonian problem is that they believe that they are autonomous from the Russian minority. And the tremendous lack of communication is on both sides, but if Estonians want to be the good ones, they should step up the efforts. And I seriously doubt that the Russian side will do the first steps there....
>>There are Russians (ethnic Russians, not Russian Federation citizens) in Estonia, >True. The vast majority of ethnic Russians in Estonia though immigrated during the Soviet era, as part of russification and build up of industrialization. Should Estonia be allowed to try and restore a national identity and choose it's own national language?
They absolutely do, but doing things that do irritate a part of their population(and they knew that it would irritate) is not really helping their cause. And in any case Out of 3 Baltic states, Latvia and Estonia chose an interesting way of integrating the russians into their societies - they decided that integration is a one way street - Estonians and Latvians are waiting at the end of it for Russians to integrate, without any incentives.
FYI:
The reason why those protests occurred, is that Estonians did it at their own discretion bu passing a local directive. The main problem was they they didn't even put an effort to communicate it to the veteran organization.
I put blame for the protests on both sides, one overreacted the other thought they can do anything they want.
> Because Putin's cronies organized the protests and cyber attack.
FYI: There was no need to force anyone out to the streets then, so organization was purely on the level of "We meetup at 10 AM".
> Remember how Putin poisoned one of his detractors with polonium
That guy was one of the LEAST known people. Killing Berezovsky would have been more effective, while generating same amount of publicity. Sidenote: My problem is why the hell wasn't anyone investigating HOW a lethal amount polonium got into UK in the first place. I don't care that a former KGB agent(the people that swore to give their lives for their country) dies, I need to know what is done to prevent any such polonium "leaks" from EVER happening.
> If I wanted to bash the Russian people I'd bash for for supporting a nutcase like Putin.
Often this translates into lose understanding of what is anti-Russian and what is anti-Putin. I've seen this happen too often.
> You're contradicting yourself. The SU collapsed largely due to economic pressures, both internal and external,....
OMG. You talk like you were there... You can't imagine how many minds in US I have changed by telling the REALITY. Those external pressures were negligible to the people that pulled down SU. And that is a long story... Just the moral: Do not attribute fall of SU to US, attribute to SU people.
> Most of the current criticism against Russia is because Russia is moving AWAY from democracy A: In Russia meaning democracy = anarchy. B: The result is the first head of state in history(and I mean from the 9th century) of Russia that abides by the constitution! C: Thanks to the drunk Yeltsin, Russia was held as a joke state. And do you actually consider that if you interact with someone in a demeaning way they would take after you? Demeaning is what the people of Russia saw during the 90s.
> because they are selling arms and weapons technology indiscriminately.
Oh no, they are selling weapons very strategically. Do you know how far is Iran from Russian border? How many Shia Muslims are there in Russia? Their strategy is simple, keep the nut-job US president from attacking Iran and creating a hot spot at Russian borders. You know the way that Iraq turned out.... And they are doing it right for once... Same as US did forever: support anyone that will guarantee stability at their borders.
Oh, Hell NO! Giving $$$ to the pirates is MUCH easier. No S/N to track, no activations, easy setup... And they supply you with cracks/hacks/serialgens:)
My last employer was so desperate that the client called me up to plead(not ask but plead) for assistance:) And I had some really good replacements... and documentation was actually usable... Talking about job security;)
Ha... Where I live a vegan DOES produce MORE carbon emissions. Why? Simply because 90% of vegetables between september and may are IMPORTED. And if they actually get to do ONLY local produce, then they would waste a ton of time at the local hospital.
Almost agree with you. But I also DO believe that bans in truly public places should have bans and hefty fines (ex. streets, bus stops, gov-t offices and other places you usually expect to be smoke free or have to visit without substitution) On the other hand bars, pubs even restaurants should be able to choose between non-smoking or smoking or even separated smoking and non-smoking areas.
Oh... I believe that quite a bit more that JUST 2 world wars have taught us that. Just count up the number of wars before those 2 big ones. 1812 war almost spilled over to become a truly world war.
No that is not business. Unless you mean that Icahn's business is to invest into companies that are on a verge of being bought by another company and instantly cash out the "dough".
And I can understand him, he's just trying any way possible to screw as much people as possible, wile walking away with money.
You didn't look into just buying a bunch of mini embedded systems? Just take a look at Via DP-310. There are a lot of small systems manufacturers, and even more cost effective as Apple's stuff.
Ok.... The base rule, when I resort to getting stuff from bittorent: I have no access to the resource, that I want to have. And the publisher has NO intention of EVER letting me have it.(Consider me as a person with AIDS and the publisher a drug company with a cure, that just has no intention of letting me have access to the drug even at an unreasonable sum). I am not talking about source, code or anything, just the end product. Like a lot of ComedyCentral stuff.
Hell, NO! Th real prices HAVE risen. All you need are 3 comparative currencies: USD, EUR and JPY. And you can see that wheat price has risen drastically.
I dreamed about it when I was like 7(17 years ago). So nice to see that someone with education in physics is actually considering it:)
(And fortunately enough I have rather stupid parents that I believed when they said to stop dreaming about nonsense.)
And now I am a developer. What a shame....
> In the case of Russia, you more than likely have people that want outside information and now won't be able to get it.
Really? Never, ever, EVER! Noticed, that. People that want information, get it in Russia. There is no problem in information sources in Russia. There is however a lack of good information sources in US.

Hate to burst your bubble, but Estonia's economic bubble is showing fractures...

Really? That easy?
