Well, in germany we try to differentiate beetween prooven historic facts and freedom of speech.
That way Günther Grass was able to publish his critically acclaimed essay about that israel is threatening the world peace, and not being prosecuted. Freedom of speech does not protected him against the shitstorm that broke out.
If you make a statement that the mass murdering of 6 Million people didn't occured in public you are prosecuted, and not for being politically incorrect, but for denying a crime to facillitate hate against other groups. Those guys which try to counter that it didn't happen, well even modern nazis just use those to facillitate hate speech against certain groups, most newnazis know that the crime happend, but before that specific law those historic researchers were presented at every newnazi conference, just to troll.
Saying that one is PI has the tendency of making yourself appear to be the prosecuted one, and that way making it hard to argue against, or would it make look like the other one is at fault, because he is one of the prosecuters.
For example your "homeschoolers" and "rapists" that is a typically PI tactic for labelling one to be concived as the ill-prosecuted. Why not just write that "homeschoolers are prosecuted in Germany because in Germany there is a law which states every kid shall attend school to the age of at least 14 (Schulpflicht)" That would be just the facts, because in germany not only hoomschoolers and rapists are prosecuted so are thieves, fraudsters and even speeders.
And by the way, combining PI ideas with the german word "verboten" (=forbidden) is a very clever tactic, as this word is widely understood, even when the reader does not speak german. This term is known to those, because of movies about the nazi-era and that way has a bitter taste as it's connected to certain emotions for you to be concived as the prosecuted one, even if you would be possibly a nazi, and catch22 those legislation is targeted at nazi-people.
Colourfull example: Nazi1 to Nazi2: "You are a Nazi because you nazied away my freedom of speech, to say that the hollocaust didn't happen. You bad Nazi Nazi Nazi."
Nazi2: "Now I see, my dear Nazi how could I be so wrong to nazi away your freedom of speech to say Nazi things and shit on 6 Million dead jews, 1 Million dead sinti and roma(gipsy people) and 500000 politically prosecuted people. I must have been a real Nazi"
Do you find the Nazi in the story ?
Btw. what was it about ? Nazi wind turbines ! Naz solar panels !
- it does replace power sources (have a look at -> http://www.transparency.eex.com/en/ - seems atm not to be working for actual production) in that case wind is replaced by solar, as wind replaces, solar the other time of the year, (when the sun is not shining in summer you mostly have higher wind speeds)
- peak demand occurs while daytime peak production occurs while daytime
- your "mostly" and mine "mostly" because, yes to match situations which out of the unpredicted range (plant goes dark or else) you need stored energy to "replace"
- "hydrogen is not an energy source" hydrogen today is an energy source because +95% is cracked out of natural gas, but it is the target to use hydrogen as a storage media.
Nuclear power really could be done safely but as the history provides proof, it has never be done, because of the cost.
And since when is 20% the majority and 80% the minority. Since a representive inquiry in Japan found that 80% off the people want to phase out nuclear power.
"While nuclear can be done safely,.." is a term for "nulcear can be done as safely as a possibility, but with an event of very low probability that can lead to the highest possible damage".
Ok, you do this next time you spot a predator drone in international waters, I bet 30s later your boat has a big hole in it.
And for being up front against such an unlawfull interaction like shooting something down. The drone is in international skies not waters as long as the drone does not attack or else shooting it down is prohibited.
even if some might think off it as a nice twist of the fate, but let kids play with the toys they like !
If a boy likes to play with dolls let him be. If a girl likes to play with GI-Joe let her be.
If some kid either boy or girl has shown interest in something technical just support don't push.. and giving out presents without being certian about kids interest is a way to push kids in a limbo of having to be thankfull and feeling probably guilty for not playing with the toy because it does not match the interest.
Ask and find out about interests first.
just my 2 cents
ps. I bought myself 3 real working industry robots from the late 80s early 90s weighing 300kg ( 700 lb) each, they were not that expensive. (inlcuding control + teach pendant)
You can also use math+reasonable guessing, as it's multiple choice..
288.00 == 40hs you need amount for 29hs -> 4 x 7 = 28 which is near just shifting in a base10 system 28.80 == 4hs 28.80 x 7 == 140 + 56 = 206.. stop calculating here and look at the multiple choices has to be bigger than 206 and the rest is unreasonable.
I got a promotion last week, all what I said to my boss was I will do the things in the same way I do them like in the past, nothing less, and well he said then I will promote you to nothing less than in the past and I will increase your sallary by a factor of 1.
Evil or not, making a deal with the devil is a bad idea even if he it is called google. Google, even not intended to be acting evil (Don't be evil), is acting evil, as it's cause for funding Mozilla was not to help Mozilla and bring the users a good and free browser, but to bring down the internet explorer's dominance. Anyway if you combine charity with a benefit for yourself, except you feeling good and being altruistic.
And that way Google's actions are evil even if not inteded to be evil, but the cause of the charity is corrupt. And to be frank Mozilla got itself corrupted by the google money, if you ask yourself is Mozilla really worth 100 $M ? A feature less browser (yes some good plugins blablabla) which now accelrates it's version numbers like it want to compensate for falling back in market share. And it seems Mozilla now tries to get hocked on it's next suggar daddy. Mozilla needs a new management and a new perspective, because it lost it's main cause of existence, and even with reaching version 16 on January 1st next year there will no perspective just popping up.
And make sure you have a full hard disk encryption ! -> http://www.truecrypt.org/ And make sure you have your tier1 data some where else and also encrypted (SDHC 32GB or 1,8" SSD sounds good or ?).
I prefer saving my data encrypted on a datasette..;)
I support your comment. Looking back in the early days when Firefox was called Phoenix nearly every evolution step made the browser better. It stopped from my point of view with Version 3.X and I almost lost the oversight with Version 4 and 5.. what have we now ? I use Opera as my main browser because with Opera most e2volution steps are well crafted and the version numbers are not increasing exponantally. - Not all, but most !
When I read the about page of ChromiumOS / ChromeOS which defines the goal as googles main target is clear shift the data from the personal computer into "their" cloud, and I compared it to firefox it get's clear that google has somehow to counterfight the market dominance of their main competitor, which simply isn't Microsoft anymore. It's the Mozilla Firefox a "conservative" browser which has a likewise "conervative" user base and a huge portion of this base which can be seen as sensible to privacy, but not entirely privacy aware. Google's leader revealed on several occasions that privacy is not the company's main target instead they are aiming for an abolishment of privacy.
Instead giving FF better privacy controls it's devellopers focused on a "neat" user interface - no stop loading button a.s.o.- and changing the default options to very privacy invasive settings, like defaulting to purge only the last hour(s) of usage instead of purging all usage data. One of the many basic arguments in the past for using FF was it's better privacy. Now, one can say but haven't they implemented the privacy mode or "p-mode" ?
On the one hand this is right they did but is that an everydays privacy tool ? My Answer to this is that it's not, because there is a base of trusted sites I want to get recognized by. The p-mode is a mode fine for certian circumstances but not for an everyday privacy protected browsing. (VS.) Addons can solve everything.. this must not be necessarily done by plugins, because FF in itself is a program which should be complete in it's features, Addons have the tendency to not reveal how they work and what they do, nor have they distinctive yet existing Bug/Sec tracking. They are toys not trusted supplements.
With the rise of HTML5 and the web-db for graphics storage there is a new threat to privacy and there is no (big) browser side mode to implement a fine tuned control over it's availiability to sites using it. The demise of firefox helped to curb the potential for Chrome(browser) and google seems to be invested into the devellopment of FF to be controlling the (miss)direction where FF should go. For now it seems to me like they are trying to make FF a not-so-good-Chrome-browser to disgruntle the user base and drive them to Chrome to bundle the power of a web-apps company and a web-apps running interface.
To counter and disarm an often mentioned sentence, "But if you want you can do it with privacy addons", I have to say that privacy addons are good for keeping them out of a broader use. Look at the responsibility ping pong in this threat:
When addons don't work after a version change:
a.) it's Mozilla's problem b.) it's the add devellopers problem c.) it's the users problem d.) Like always blame Microsoft
It is no solution to a privacy nightmare. It's setting the hurdles for common users so high that they will stop trying. Privacy options have to be implemented in the browser in a way that they can be well tuned and not only adjusted beetween g-mode, random and nothing.
So in the end: Yes, I think that the Mozilla devellopers are trying to kill FF for the sake of Chrome and Google's ever growing thirst for the essence of life, a digital life, your data. If they are doing it intentionally I don't know. But I see where this will lead to, google will someday stop supporting FF when they have sucked the user base dry.
It's interesting to see so many comments here which express a huge amount of narrow thinking (non-competitive sissy couch syndrome).
The move is really ambitious, and the road to the end of nuclear fuel usage will be hard, but we (germans) want to take the chance, and end this status quo of dependence from nuclear energy and fossil fuels. The nuclear and coal plants won't be replaced by a single source of energy, they will be replaced by a combination, and yes russian natural gas is one step because the plants will are more efficient. But some people here say russian natural gas is bad, and well it's even as bad as to use gasoline made from crude oil coming from arabia, or owing China huge amounts of money.
Actually we have a selection of technologies today at our hands and with such a vision and drive many german engineers will devellop these technologies further, it's not like that we are starting just now.. we will just speed it up a bit.
- saving energy - better insulation - Wind Power - Solar Power - Water - Bio mass - Fuel Cells - Energy Storage ( synthesis gas, pressure containment, electrolysis, pump storage)
Perhaps we (germans) will fail, but then we can proudly say that we tried ! And if we are going to succeed paint the picture for yourself - I still say I smell fear !
Some idiot said once: "We choose to go to the moon, not because it's easy but because it's hard...."
But mostly you can identify tor-users which are not having all plugins switched off, by a java applet which acts as a beacon* , also if you have switched it off in your Firefox, it get's reactivated by every juscheded update;)
But I also want to point the attention to the lately added local web storage in the current generation of browsers, like Opera and doing a picture search in opera and just check the link of the thumb nail you will be interested So the question is how long will it take till it get's abused for traking
"data:image/jpg;base64,/.*CONTENT*."

Yep, I concur.
In a multiple choice test I go for logical reasoning spiced with a little bit fast and easy 101 calculating
1.) The brackets are there to seduce you
2.) 75 / 25 = 3
3.) 47 x 3 = less than 1000 because of the digits
I know it's cheating but it's multiple choice, you just have to choose the right cheat, you essentially not to know the right answer.
You can also use math+reasonable guessing, as it's multiple choice ..
288.00 == 40hs .. stop calculating here and look at the multiple choices has to be bigger than 206 and the rest is unreasonable.
you need amount for 29hs -> 4 x 7 = 28 which is near
just shifting in a base10 system 28.80 == 4hs
28.80 x 7 == 140 + 56 = 206
Yes, even an improvement by "1" time is great.
