Olkiluoto 3 is not a four unit plant. It produces 1.6 GW which is quite close to 1000x more than the prototype wind plant (nominal 2.3MW, i.e. actual will be lot less).
You have proven absolutely nothing until you have build such a system in practice. For example the Olkiluoto 3 was supposed to be much cheaper and probably will end up even more expensive.
Just like the wind power plant, the price for a prototype does not give good estimate for a "real" plant (well, it does give upper bound, but...).
Nuclear and wind cannot be directly compared, wind can sometimes be generated near consumption, wind is suspect for interruptions, and so on.
No, I am not making up the value, you were. I just pointed out your calculations do not end up.
Reducing copyright to few years would not kill music or movie industry. Quite the contrary, I think. No longer documentaries which cannot be shown, etc.
My advice: Create four (virtual) desktops in 2x2. Then you can "easily-ish" get to "OK" by alt + down arrow.
I agree, it is horrible mistake in Gnome not to be able to use 1024x600 as in every case I have seen the window could trivially be e.g. 700x500 without any loss in usability.
ATM running Windows XP doesn't mean its less secure
Than e.g. OpenBSD? It sure does.
and that it could be exploited
True. But it makes it a hell lot likelier, especially as we know from experience that the companies involved do use "the cheapest possible way" principle.
You cant exploit windows bugs in them because you cant connect to them from the internet.
You know, the transaction from the ATM does go to the bank somehow. I would not be surprised if the attack uses that channel (I have heard some use Internet & VPN - not sure if true). Attacking a single ATM through physical access is much more likely to be noticed and/or recorded and has a lot less payback than accessing several through a communication channel.
Sure, there have been physical access attacks e.g. using readers "glued" on the ATMs, but they seem to have low return rate (of investment).
game is usually lost
Well, PS3 Linux has not escaped the "jail". So "usually" is true, but ATM's should not be "usual" in this sense.
I was in Japan too. There were very, very few restaurants that banned foreigners (during the world cup). I found none. Not that I searched. The reason was certainly not racism... unless you call football vandalism a race.
I never saw a single restaurant (beside those sexually oriented, but I'd not call them "restaurants") that had any sign for gaijins.
I've never have anyone *pretend* they did not understand my (very poor) japanese. Bloody hell, quite the contrary, they even "claimed" to understand English (which they, alas, did not).
WWII... Japanese have very hard time understanding Europe ("how can EU be after the war"). The war is still very much taboo.
The only racism I found in Japan was 1. towards chinese (and somewhat to koreans) 2. towards american soldiers... but you know why. Can hardly blame them.
I was neither.
P.S. _Some_ Americans I saw were very uppity ("we won the war, we are better, your language is idiotic,...") and deserved to be, well, ignored.
Has Microsoft done a single interoperability test? I bet they have - to ensure it does not interoperate.
Is there bugs in other suites using ODF? Certainly, and I am willing to bet they work to resolve those problems... and resolving means that they try to interoperate.

Oh fuck.
I have proved, with my anecdotal evidence, that there are problems. BTW, the problems exist with both 701 and 900.
I have never ever even tried to insinuate anything more, just that there are, provably, problems with FOSS drivers.

I believe you (it works for me too, after several days of fixing), but they are not using *vanilla* Ubuntu (8.04LTS/8.10) so it does not work out-of-the-box.
8.04 cannot handle WPA2 properly (loses the key constantly). For both 701 and 900 you need either to compile the driver or use array.org.
Both are, IMHO, unacceptable solution for an average user and huge PITA even for experienced user (like me).

WHAT??? Only ten times more expensive? You've gotta be kidding.
Oh, you were ... 400 million NOK for a prototype v.s. 4500 million Euros (e.g. Olkiluoto 3).
Architects and engineers create physical goods that have high duplication cost.
Architects??? Photocopy is cheap. Engineers make drawings, they do not build it up, the workers do. The workers get nothing.
allowing LOTS of people to enjoy that IP for a fraction of its value.
All the famous musicians seems to have wealth far higher than "value", so your calculation does not end up.
Everyone on Slashdot wants to eliminate copyright,
Don't lie! Practically no one want to do that! (just check GPL discussions).
that business model goes away.
So has many, many others in the last few centuries. "Adapt or die".
Commissioned works that were not accessible to the public.
Even that would be better than current infinite copyright.
A friend of mine used to say "would you kiss an ashtray".
UFOs did it, there is a documentary around. Google for "Flight 714".

It always amazes me how some people think only the "most pressing issue" may be addressed and others must be ignored.
I do want to sound like a dick as it is a big issue and it is an issue no other party is taking seriously. Like many other electronic freedom issues.
Well, the fact that someone thinks the meeting is so important that losing all that time is worthwhile is even more ridiculous.
The meeting invariably would make much more sense over e-mail - of course.
Apparently there is - otherwise the the news is a duck.

There are similar for other phones too, for example http://www.joiku.com/index.php
I think AC meant something like http://www.sun.com/storage/flash/module.jsp.
I do not know how flash is done in laptops now, the best ones cannot be far from the CPU.
Yes http://www.sun.com/storage/flash/module.jsp.
It does not use SATA, but something JEDEC will(?) standardise.
I think it is very interesting idea, whether it will take off, I do not know.
Kim Jong Il is definitely not a nutjob ... [he] thinks nothing of starving millions

successfully used seemingly insane threats as negotiating leverage to obtain international aid many times
Name one that has succeeded.
The aid has been given despite the insane threats as we know the situation of the people there.
Sure the insanity continues as the other possibility is death. Or can you imagine a peaceful change in the country (like in USSR)?
During world cup I was mainly in Tokyo metropolitan area.
Let me repeat, banning foreigners was *NOT* racism.
Same thing has happened (and will happen at least in near future) in every soccer event since nineties.
I was in Japan too. There were very, very few restaurants that banned foreigners (during the world cup). I found none. Not that I searched. The reason was certainly not racism ... unless you call football vandalism a race.

Kill the account and whack the computer physically into pieces.
Seriously, I'd ask for a professional help. Seriously.
Unless the Java applications are run in a sandbox (like Java Web Apps are).
Maybe people would feel safer with them and more willing to pay for them rather than to virus scanners and such.
I do have my doubts as people are probably not educated enough to know the difference.
You are equating bugs to features.

Can you reload them in a different machine?
How about on a different motherboard?
"If an open source driver doesn't work it's because not enough people care about it for it to be fixed."
So you do admit there is a problem with Linux. Good. Next step is to think a solution for the problem.
Note: I do *NOT* advocate closed source, quite the contrary. All my examples were FOSS.
The adapter (Artec T14BR) is not recognised.
Compiling the driver from the latest sources makes it working - for a while. Then comes one of the numerous kernel security patches and boom!
I do not consider this as "working solution" for average user.
