It usually costs a little extra (~20EU), but you get a proper bed in most EU trains (excluding some eastern bloc trains). For a high price you can get a double bed and a shower in your cabin too.
We often use them since you save on a night of accommodation and the price right up till the last minute does not change much, if at all. Other passengers are pretty nice most of the time (aka avoid soccer fans).
Its not like other news sites are any better with the crap thats reported or the bias in the reporting. If you know of one, please tell. A good technical section is a must.
My first experience of internet porn was a babe and a dog. I really didn't want to see that! I had no idea anyone would want to do that let alone look at pictures of it. It was quite disturbing at the time.
But I was not damaged by it. You get over it.
The real problem with filters is that they don't work. There will still be some innocent looking link to a page thats far from innocent. I was not looking for porn at all when i found that picture.
Only in this mater? Really? The UN, like the league of nations is quite incapable of doing anything constructive at all. Also they somewhat lack true authority
Since absolute power corrupts, I don't think thats a bad thing in the long run.
Oh the list of countries that are "unstable" well beyond Iraq or Afghanistan is a pretty long one.
So you want MBS (Multiple Building Select) in Starcraft 2 then? Oh the humanity! How will the "skilled" SC players be able to demonstrate their superior ability to CRF (Click Really Fast) against noobs.
Its not all progress. I found even the original SC game fun but a step backwards as far as the interface was concerned.
My water is flat rate. My gas and electricity is not. However 50% of my energy bill is the fixed charges, so i don't feel that inclined to save power ironically.
Oh and my internet flat rate too as is the public transport. But I don't know about ponys, I have only seen horse meat for sale and never at a all you can eat. I guess you can't win them all.
I have kept my different home drives for 20 years. Each time i get a new computer I copy them across. Its all now on a shiny new 1T drive. But alas getting some of the old programs to work with emulation does not work as well as I would like. In fact unless i write code to read the things myself, which often requires some reverse engineering of the format, they are dead space on the drive. But hay the old stuff is small.
But DOSbox works for some important files;) Apparently I now sux at both UFO and syndicate. But its still fun to run over 10 pixel men with harvesters in Dune II.
The classic stuff is when you are a English as a first language person and they simply do not believe anything you tell them. Even simple things like Strassenbahn is a tram in English.
But I don't complain too much, my German is still pretty bad, since I don't get lots of practice. Everyone here speaks ok English.
I don't think so. Germany is a neighboring country to mine and one of the biggest in the EU. I find this trend in a country that should know better for historical reasons quite disturbing. The fact remains that this stuff starts small and then grows. How long before Germany suggests a web filter so that these kind of tactics are effective?
Many will want us to think this is a read herring.
I agree. You can get the same effect from old PC power supples. They have a very low power factor. Nowadays though in a lot of places theres rules on how low its allowed to be.
The emergency shutdown is that simple. It can take a while to get it back on line again however (days, weeks or even longer depending on how many of the emergency shutdown systems are fired) and cost a pretty penny.
Even today, aircraft autopilots (triply redundant) are not reliable enough so that Boeing requires that pilots must be able to disconnect them and fly manually.
Rubbish. Pilots are there because people feel safer. And if the fly-by wire systems etc fail, your plane crashes, pilot or no pilot. So you have 2 modes of failure. If the pilot is insisting on flying into the ground and/or software bugs.
Commercial pilots are trained to work like a machine. I would be just as happy if they weren't there.
This 1000 GW assuming the wind blows all the time, would need one million 1 MW wind turbines. Thats kinda going to be expensive. Now a 1 MW turbine is doing well if can produce a average of 500kW over a year in a good site. So now you either need 2 million turbines or 1 million 2 MW turbines. A wind turbine costs quite a lot and we still have to run miles of underwater power cables. And for comparison the global wind power generation capacity is only a little above 100GW.
And thats really the problem. Everyone whats clean green energy, they just don't want to pay for it. They want wind farms, just not on their mountains, they want solar, somewhere else, and we all want it cheaper than coal power.
This concept is not even a concept, let along a concept that can be broken. Its a green angled PR plug.

Really: why lay down several *billion* metric tons of expensive high quality steel as railway tracks in the middle of nowheere?
So whats with the interstate highway system then?
But roads are OK? You know per mile rail is cheaper than highway.
I have heard this before. It would be nice to have some references that could be used to back it up. Do you know of any?

Try Facebook. Seriously. Not just women, mind you, but more than play CS.
The U.N.'s negligence in this matter is criminal.

Then why do so many people want to download it?

Well even people a lot of people that are happy with nuclear power still don't want it their back yard.
;)
Yep its safe. You can you build at least 30 miles away from where i live
good luck with that.
That is in fact a great analogy. Without a car! Mind if I use with my physics teaching?
So only 0.02 % of the 1000GW stated in the article? And its going to cost 800 Million? Wind at this scale wont be cheap.
This 1000 GW assuming the wind blows all the time, would need one million 1 MW wind turbines. Thats kinda going to be expensive. Now a 1 MW turbine is doing well if can produce a average of 500kW over a year in a good site. So now you either need 2 million turbines or 1 million 2 MW turbines.

Tell that to the guy when a wind turbine crushes his house! ;)
Just for comparison, the suns power input into earth is 174PW. Or 174 000TW.
I replied to fast. Water vapor has never been left out of climate models. Ever. Don't know where you dug up that factoid.
