  1. Re:Considering ..... on Japan Battles Partial Nuclear Meltdown · · Score: 1

    It's called the electricity bill and gas bill. Stop trying to make everyone else pay more to live the way you want them to. If you read anything about the reactors in Japan, you will realize that they are 40+ year old reactors that have no passive failsafes. No one builds reactors like this anymore, as it is insane that when the power goes out, and the generators won't turn on, the reactor doesn't immediately SCRAM. If you are going to hold an industry to all the failures of history while still learning the technology, you should be against cars, trains, oil, coal, frankly everything. If you want to go live in the woods with your solar panels and wind farm, please feel free to do so. Stop trying to tell everyone else how they have to live, and then point at these problems with nuclear power that are minuscule compared to the problems of any other technology.

    I'm still waiting for the nuke I can bury in my yard. Then I don't have to worry about NIMBYs anymore, as it will be in My back yard, not their back yard. Unfortunately, due to people's irrational fears, I will probably never see this happen, even though it would be trivial to do with modern designs.

    Geothermal? Where exactly do you expect that to work? The only place I have heard of successful geothermal power generation is in Iceland, and that is because they are living on a volcano. If you can show geothermal being if any use in say NY, LV, LA, DC, anywhere that needs power, then you may have a point, but I don't see it happening. There is also the problem of earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions being linked to geothermal, how will you handle these problems?

    MegacorpBlacklist: Toyota, GM, Cybercom, Sony,MS

    Out of curiosity, why those two? GM has repaid the Gov, so not sure what you could see wrong with them, besides a general dislike for all American car companies, who were to blind to see the need for more fuel efficient cars. On Toyota, if you are referring to the recalls:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009%E2%80%932011_Toyota_vehicle_recalls

    On February 8, 2011, the NHTSA, in collaboration with NASA, released its findings into the investigation on the Toyota drive-by-wire throttle system. After a 10 month search, NASA and NHTSA scientists found no electronic defect in Toyota vehicles.[28] Driver error or pedal misapplication was found responsible for most of the incidents.[29] The report ended stating, "Our conclusion is Toyota's problems were mechanical, not electrical." This included sticking accelerator pedals, and pedals caught under floor mats.[30]

    I would really love to hear your reasons behing hating these two. Sony I agree with fully, and MS is a matter of opinion, and Cybercom, don't know who they are.

    The nice thing about the T3 skills though as that they train very fast, I think it is like 4 days to level 5 in each skill, so replacing them isn't awful when the ship pops, but you do lose one level in the highest skill.

    Why you'd go to farmers instead of using PLEX is very much an open question, though I imagine that the exchange rate is better for the buyer to offset the risk of black-market trading.

    This is what I have heard, but I just pay the additional fee as I don't want my account banned. But I am also pushing something like 5 GTC a month, so no biggy.

    The Catholic religion is not renowned for pedophilia, they are renowned for the attempted coverup of it. The percentages are still lower then the general population. Also, the wide majority of Mormons are law abiding citizens, which is required by their religion. They don't generally support polygamy, they are actually forbidden from practicing it by the government of the US, it is only those splinter cults which practice it, and generally get shut down by the feds.
