I love Slashdot moderating. It always gives methe image of some bearded wiseman nodding their head and saying "hmmm, that *is* both interesting and insightful."
That's nothing, I fuck plastic yoda dolls, shove them WAY up my hiney!
I would tend to worry more about *what* they were doing with my connection. Open wifi networks would seem a gift to anyone wanting to pursue illicit activities online.
I suppose you could store router logs or block illegal websites, but it sounds like a lot of effort compared to only letting trusted machines on in the first place.
I would imagine it makes fairly significant savings on energy usage, as compressors are pretty expensive to run. It really depends on how much heat can be removed per-cycle. The effect doesn't sound like it would take much heat out, so many cycles would be needed, which would be more expensive in terms of pumping costs.
Since the cycle is contained, surely you could run high-temperature loops under pressure?
Well, the significant facts are that the majority in the territory (just) still want to be part of the UK. And before anyone asks if they have the choice, yes, they do. The six counties can hold a referendum to be part of the Republic (see Anglo-Irish Agreement of 1985).
Happens to me all the time; signal quality may just be too poor for voice. I often end up hearing about 30% of what a person is saying. While I have voice on paper, meaningful communication it ain't. Texting will get through even if voice is too choppy.
Ossetia (and Abkhazia) are still part of Georgian territory. Russia stepped in to the frozen conflicts and has since used the provinces to antagonise Georgia (by, for instance, handing out Russian citizenship to all claimers if they want it).
Having said that; Georgia *did* provoke this round of fighting and should really have expected Russia to step in. My instinct says that they did, and wanted to try and get the West to face Russia down. Fat chance.
There's no right or wrong here, just a lot of stupid brinkmanship which backfired.
I should point out that I can never work out why people bother trying to pacify breakaway provinces. It never seems to be worth the effort.
(I'm British, and yes, we hold Northern Ireland. I am aware of the hypocrisy here, but Northern Ireland is a subtle case. I wonder what nuances there are to South Ossetia which aren't reported here?)
I am British, but driving across the country and then catching a ferry to even Dublin takes a hell of a lot of time.
A ferry to France is a reasonable option from SE England and a ferry to Ireland is a reasonable choice for the Welsh. Otherwise, it's a hell of a trek just to get to a ferry port, neglecting the journey time.
They don't run on the same fuel, even if it is the same fuel stock. Not to mention you don't pay fuel tax on kerosene here in the UK, so even if they were the same ppL kerosene would be about 40% of the price to buy.
I'll bear that in mind next time I want to visit Ireland from the UK. Bumper size tires would seem to be the order of the day?
Mind you, with European fuel prices it would be cheaper to start your own damned airline than pay to drive.
The sphere itself would still be visible, as it would most likely have a temperature above the cosmic microwave background and would hence give of visible light. This is unless they've found a way to convert disparate, low quality energy into matter or something even more outlandish, like finding a way to destroy energy.
All physics is most likely wrong. Some of it is *less* wrong than the rest of it. Even if we know of problems within the standard model, we don't currently have much better to explain things.

Er, what does this have to do with capitalism?

Hmmm, interesting and insightful!
I'm worried about getting busted for someone else's crime.
But it's a glofiried ad hominem attack on Silvio Berlusconi, and hence is richly deserved.

"The franchise really depends on me coming up with a good idea." *sigh*
That doesn't follow. There *might* be dark life *if* dark matter is capable of complex chemistry(-like?) interactions.
Sorry, I just realised that when I said visible light I meant detectable electromagnetic radiation, not actual visible light.
The sphere itself would still be visible, as it would most likely have a temperature above the cosmic microwave background and would hence give of visible light. This is unless they've found a way to convert disparate, low quality energy into matter or something even more outlandish, like finding a way to destroy energy.
