It does not matter who operates the targets, they only need to elicit a response from the government. And it certainly did that. The US even started to oppres their own people in response (al-qaida US liberation front?) Did you know that al-qaida had nothing to do with Iraq? see the innocent bystander here? And did you know that people outside the US are capable of changing how they view the US. Its action are really reflected in public opinion. Why did you start calling french fries 'freedom' fries again? Resentment against the US was always there, but limited. US aggression made it much stronger.
even if efficiency was 100%, a UPS would could still not be powered by sunlight only for any practical purposes there is only a limited amount of energy in sunshine, and it will never be enough to power very usefull vehicles. If you assume that evolution always finds the cheapest solution, you can conclude that it's cheaper to have low efficiency photoconversion, as plants are less efficient than current PV cells. To compensate you just need lots of surface (leaves) which makes you stationary for practical reasons. The only organisms that are somewhat mobile and have photosynthesis are some species of algae, and they are much more limited by nutrient availability than by sunlight.
It is very easy though to increase the efficiency of PV cells: use mirrors or a solar through to concentrate the light. More light== more power per cell.
Maybe you are not trolling, but you sure are attacking me personally instead of staying on topic. What about answering the question: why is it so important to call them terrorist? I have no interest in this conflict, I just don't like such obvious bias in the reporting.
May I suggest you look a bit into the history of Ireland?
The theory how armed resistance can be used to overthrow government is very old and goes along the lines of: provoke the authorities with violence until they start to react as violent, but against their own innocent civilians. Every state action should generate more supporters for your cause until you have a large enough majority to oust the regime, or they just downright give up. If you follow that theory, al-qaida was very successfull with their wtc attack. The US overreacted so violently that they lost all their goodwill in the rest of the world. Indirectly this may lead to the withdrawal of the US from Saudi soil.
Btw, personally I think all violence is wrong, but neither do I like the Myopic US views on 'terrorism'.
Both are dangerous when they get in a thermal runaway, but it surely is LiPo and not the older Li-ion that has caused these fires. Current LiPo technology can deliver more current than Li-ion, and has a higher power density. Part of that is because Li-ion needs a metal casing to keep the cell toghether, while liPo only needs a plastic/aluminium wrapper and thus is lighter. I doubt that a Li-ion cell can transfer enough heat to its neighbors to trigger a cascade reaction. Flat Li-Po cells that are stacked in the pack certainly have enough contact surface. Electric model airplanes use LiPo packs nowadays, 3 times as much power density as the best NiMH cells!
A hack is a hack, no matter who makes it. They are not committing any terrorist acts over satelite, are they? Terrorists are also freedom fighters, it just depends on who's viewpoint you prefer.
It may be a strength, but only for the the ruling elite in both parties. It just creates an oligarchy. The eventual leaders have to come in through one of two parties, but the process how they get there is not democratic at all. District boundaries constantly get shuffled around for political reasons, the district system made it possible for a president to gain power while only a minority voted for him. If you get rid of one-man-one-vote systems and replace it with with something that makes strategic voting much less necessary, you might get a president that can actually carry the approval of the majority of the people without dogmas like you have to stand behind your leader because he is the leader.
With only two parties, there is no need for them to be in the middle of the road, they just need to be as unattractive as the other one. Nothing is stopping them from drifting to the left or right, as has happened in your country. In the Netherlands, the democrats would be ranked as far-right wing on most issues, and the republicans would probably be forbidden as the neo-nazis that they are. If you have more parties it is easier to determine the middle ground, just as a matter of statistics.
Sorry, but what USian college/uni would dare to teach that their political system is nothing but perfect? they would be burned at the stake as traitors?
A district system leads invariably to a two party system. A two party system is an oligarchy.
Belize Canada Costa Rica El Salvador Guatemala Honduras Mexico Nicaragua Panama Argentina Bolivia Brazil Chile Colombia Ecuador Guyana Paraguay Peru Suriname Uruguay Venezuela. Are these all part of the United States of America? Following your logic they should be referred to a Americans too? I agree, and that is why I choose to refer to sheeple from the USA as USians (USAians would look like an insult to asians I think). But you clearly understood what I meant, isn't that what language is for?
(for brevity I left off all states and territories in the carribean)
Something must have short circuited in in your partisan brain, but this would be a right wing conspiracy. It let to BabyBush gaining power and keeping it. Or do you believe all the exit polls were wrong at the last presidential election?
It is bad enough that you are one of those morons that unleashed another four years of misery on the world by voting for a party color instead of using your brain and look past the mudslinging. The main problem your country faces is it's two party/district system. That concentrates the power in two parties that inevitably will be very similar and will be mostly serving their own interests. You vote not (only) because you think your candidate is the best the country has to offer, but because the other lizard is even worse. I would not know how exactly, but it is up to you (and the rest of the USian people) to change your country in such a way that excesses like BabyBush can not happen anymore. Getting rid of district and inderect voting would be a very good start (and likely cause a civil war as your overlords do not like to give up their cushy jobs).
All that goodwill he had gained with his beloved foundation will be undone if he is seen spending his earnings from the windos tax on frivolities like this one. So I expect an ex(t|p)ensive PR campaign that will emphasise all the good Billyboy is doing with his windos loot, like giving away free copies of his coolaid OS to vulnerable countries (in exchange for a crackdown on OS piracy).
Maybe BabyBush was thinking about this opportunity when he reinstated the missile defense system.
While legally it may be permitted, I still doubt if the US is that civilized democracy I referred to. You may notice that the case you linked to involved at least one reasonably rich entity. Is it still justice for the people if you need very deep pockets to have your rights acknowledged?
If you add so many absurd things to a profile, it should be obvious to anybody that it was a parody. I'll grant you it was not very tastefull from what I read about it, but a civilized democracy does allow these things (doubt if that includes the US). He could have taken it as a sign that he needs to brush up his image with the students instead of riding his 12foot dick to school everyday. (s/foot/cm/g).
Now Trosch, who has since moved schools within the district, is suing the students involved in the 2005 caper, arguing that his reputation was damaged and his earning potential was affected.
Ii wonder if he is going to sue himself next, as he was the one that created the circumstances for this damage. It was not the students actions (some childish prank that was rather unremarkable) but his own ego that led to the damage to his 'earning potential'. Maybe he didn't understand the meaning of the word earn: his egotrip earned him ridicule, which is a just reward for him/methinks.
Nanoscale Lithium battery technology leads me to think A123 cells. The cell from this startup are already on the market, powering handheld screwdrivers and model airplanes. They use a patented LiFePo4 reaction(or was there some sulfur in it too, dunno) and their process is much more ideal for automotive transport than NiMH(not enough energy density) or LiPo(Lithium polymer, it's what's making laptops go up in flames the last few years). LiPo has the highest energy density, but is very unsafe when punctured in a crash(or when overcharged): all energy in them will release in a short time, possibly causing fire as the decomposing polymer inside escapes as a flammable gas. The other drawback is that they have a very short lifespan: Max 500 charge-cycles (better count on 100-200) or 3 years (cells degenerate even when not in use). Thus far LiPo cells are prohibitively expensive, and no hybrid owner would like to fork over a few K every year for new batteries. the A123 process is much more resilient wrt to abuse: you can run them down completely unlike LiPo or lead-acid, the stand overcharging much better, and if punctured they don't go up in flames. The company rates their cells as being able to deliver 2000 cycles, which is much more than lipo, NiMH, NiCad or Lead-acid. And as far as I know, they have no ties to Delft University, but I have not read TFA yet... They are here.

So how does this apply to my kind of movies?

In the movies I'd like to make the guy introduces a beautiful girl, what follows is groping, fellating, cunniliting, copulatin and ejaculating. What can I learn from this book to make that look even better than it is?
I am well aware of the metaphorical meaning in that expression, and yes it was both a pun and intentional. It still is security through obscurity: if your wifi network is insecure, then trying to hide the signal will not make it any more secure, it will only make the barrier a bit higher for an attacker, just as some company encoding their documents with ROT13 are not adding security but only increase the barrier.
