  1. Re:Is Nuclear going to be acknowledged? on Two Google Engineers Say Renewables Can't Cure Climate Change · · Score: 1

    No, you can just use wikipedia to know that you are wrong.

    Actually when you are going for reprocessing used uraniumoxide or mixed oxide (uranium + plutonium) rods you are hunting for generated plutonium and unused uranium and plutonium.

    You are hunting for fissible elements, that you can create a chainreaction of and use the excess energy.

    You than will use the unused plutonium and uranium to create MOX pellets consisting of both uranium and plutonium.

    You will need supplemental uranium to balance out those "new" rods. And actually the world nuclear economy is heavily relying on reprocessing and use of degraded formerly weapons grade fuel.

    And the amounts are decreasing. Nuclear fuel is used up at such a rate there will be a shortage in the forseeable future.

    That's why windscale was a big "burning" nuclear fire they "burnt" uranium to get plutonium, and this is why fuel rods have a "burn time" because if you increase that the plutonium content you will make Ahmadinejads eyes wet.

    And again Mr. Anonymous you are wrong,

    solar electric panels generates more energy than it was used to make it, the ROI on the energy is about ~1,5-2yrs.

    You should better look those numbers up, because it's frustrating to read the same wrong info.

    Actually, the question is what you define as clean.

    1.) energy usage
    2.) Resource usage
    3.) use of problematic chemicals

    PV panels are simply spoken semiconductors, so the same processes apply like those for our precious CPUs and GPUs.

    The most common base material is Silicon (Si) which is "refined" from SiOÂ (sand) which is highly energy intensive. resource usage is - given the amount of Si within the minable earth crust - within acceptable range. The elements used for doping are as those in our CPUs and GPUs toxic.

    But the good thing is those processes are controlable with very little environmental impact (everything we do has an environmental impact, use a pill, take a piss, your pissing the content of the pill into nature)

    Recycling is possible - known contents, but actually the need for having a waste handling concept for PV panels is missing.

    But PV panels can be deponised, all dangerous material is enclosed.

    Compared to nuclear where the waste can't be just deponised anywhere PV is relativly clean. Also in contrast to micro chips the energy you put into is regained within 1-2 yrs.

    That's actually a major problem, all data is transported via government visible networks.

    How would I do it ?
    As a LEO I would try to get warrants for a full take loging of all entry guards/relays(unknowing facilitators) that were in between my request and the site and those that are under my jurisdiction. (now I know with which computers the tor-relay/entry guard communicates) I would obtain full take / warrants for those / and another round .. bingo

    now I can do traffic confirmation attacks, download the same data-size again and again and again, and perhaps uploading same data of specfic size again and again and again.

    Due to the full takes I will be able to correlate what path my data took, over all three levels. There will be misses, as not all traffic will go through the U.S. & UK
    but at a certain point in time there will be enough ip-data, where I can identify a location and a person.

    And then I need to do parallel construction (infiltration) as I now know who the person is I can generate a personality profile and figure out the best way to come in contact with the operator.

    - the crackers that have something very interesting to bang their heads on

    The game misses marketing effect of a good working crack, that will drive the starting sales, well and what I read strike the good working.

    So to conclude, warez and crackz are really a very good marketing strategy. And that game has nothing of it just the drawbacks. I would be interested in a sales graph showing sales of cracked games vs. resilient games. Very Hard DRM seems not to be a good investment, a medium hard cheap DRM is good, because totally without DRM would look like it's worth nothing.

    Example for Crackz, Keyz, Warez == good marketing
    If Windows 8.1 would be crackable the percentage of Windows7 would have decreased more. Answer yourself how Microsoft gained that WindowsXP dominance ? Well because the marketing guys at MS weren't such lunatics to kill the infamous "MSDN-Gold-Key" in over 7 years of it's existence! And don't tell me that they couldn't they just don't wanted to. But when Vista had adaption problems and win7 was on the verge, they kill the alternative. Fueling the legitimite used Software-License trading (which is legal in the EU).

    But there is only one solution to this, because voting really is important, but when politicians and supporters don't know where politics turns out to be nothing more than a joke, and every vote turns into a dumb sheep shoven it's mostly the time to start an alternative that really is an alternative in being none.

    Is that difference really that big?

    If you look into the history of eugenics you can clearly see that both arguments (sterilizing disabled and euthanasia of so called "unworthy life") come from the same way of thinking - rationalism.

    And well (nazi)germany has implemented both - crimes against humanity, however the philosophy of total rationalism (which eugenic & euthanisia) was discussed in many other countries at that time including (pre-nazi)Sweden and Great Britian.

    In Sweden(yes Sweden the country of the Nobel prize!) till the early 1990s disabled people were being sterilized - this btw. does not only include physical or cognitive disabilities but also cases of psychiatric patients.

    And you said it yourself you "chose" not to breed,
    nobody made the choice for you.

    There is no real difference between both solutions:

    Because they both stem from the same "total rationalistic" way of thinking. The totalitaristic rule of the total rational thinking, will treat human life and freedom of choice being somewhat expendable and hindering.
