Since I've been reading Slashdot this is the "ask" article that has drawn the most joke questions, easily. Even more than RMS' article, and Jack Horner has a reasonable haircut and hasn't been caught on video eating his own foot scabs. Now some of the jokes are quite funny, but still...I hope the editors will pre-screen the joke questions out for him.
No, but living comfortably and not being generationally poor and pissed-off enough for violent revolt are very, very different things. I can see what you meant if you thought they were the same.
And here's your answer. People fighting what appears to be a losing battle for a cause completely unknown to most and trivialized or even demonized by many who do...it's completely understandable.
What incentive would there be to deny poor people a comfortable life, if it did not deprive the rich of anything?
It does deprive them - through wages or taxes, the scraps that the poor have could instead be accumulated in the hands of the rich. You're assuming that their greed can be satisfied, it can't.
I think peltier would be inefficient in space...you need power to run it, and you could add heat exchangers to a passive cooling system instead of the solar panels needed to run the peltier cooler.
Don't worry this universal cooling thing is just a great big hoax designed to spur the passage of anti-freedom pollution regulations before the supposed "heat death of the universe." Just ignore the alarmists, the universe has been cooling for a long time and I'm sure it can adapt.
I'd bet all the money I have that powered roadways will never see the light of day (not counting electric street car wires as are currently in operation).
Huh that's significant. In the early planning stages I remember his plan was that only the user would know the encryption key, and apart from the security aspects of that, it would shield Mega from liability since they would then be incapable of even knowing what was uploaded. Both of those are untrue then.
I can't believe the person running i2p's homepage would be upset that I brought a lot of attention from people who are interested in the technology and have the means to expand the network.
While the concepts behind Mega were a huge improvement over similar sites, I still don't see the relevance of what is basically a tarted-up Napster-style file sharing site in the age of torrents (running over darknets, too).

Offtopic but funny as hell XD
Cat5 (or Cat6e if you want futureproofing) is just better for any device that doesn't move.
Surely this must be the world's most useless book?

It's from a South Park episode.
Literally "in the street of 'poo'"
Which is a thing Paris actually had many of in the middle ages...
American exceptionalism, American imperialism, guns as a substitute for democratic process...he's checked all the boxes!
They probably disassemble it and move it on 18-wheelers.
