I think we can all conclude that the cause for using adblockers is the annoying way some ads are appearing. Though blocking normal non-intrusive ads can be seen as collateral damage.
And here comes my solution, while clicking ads means money for the site-owners, we need ad-blockers which visit the ad in background and kill the tracker-cookie afterwards.
This way the site-owners get money - the ads are clicked but not seen. While most internet users have a very low technical skill, the impact on the advertisement business is small.
That's the truth like you did, like you gathered all the pieces together to write programs. It's best done in his own way and pace of learning.
What you can do, is to assist him, assisting is someway different from teaching:) keep that in mind.
Give him a selection and let him choose, or go with him to a bookstore.
And if he wants c#/c++ let him buy a book (bad we had xmas) he can download the express edt of visual studio on his own.
Btw. for "Pascal" there is Turbo Delphi, given away at no cost from Borland/Inprise/Borland/Whatsoeverjustthemakersofdelphi, no real draw backs known, except some strange stuff nobody's using;)

With some information from the wikipedia page [1] about spain.
Which says that only 20% of the electrical energy comming from nuclear plants, this contrasts to the 16 + 32 (coalfired and combined cycle plants) so this part comming from fossil fuels
Where last year, we saw a spike in prices and energy is bought on energy stock markets up to one year ahead.
Also taking into account that spain had a very low price[2] of ~11 €-cent per kWh.
even lower than the EU average of ~14 €-cent and even lower than france price of ~15 €-cent (france produces a vast amount of their electrical energy in nuclear power plants ~80%)
And that the spanish nuclear power exit bill dates from 2006[1] and mandates the exit to 2024 at moment of now, no nuclear power plant was shut down, also they are ment to be.
So I don't think that, and don't see that these numbers indicate, that the biggest effect on the prices are due to subsidized renewables.
More looking at big(german) energy firms buying spanish energy producers and using their momentum to increase the prices.

Solar is also volatile depending on the weather situation.
Have you ever watched a power curve from a PV-Panel over a longer time, you have spikes - here a cloud, there a diode less, which means the way you switch the panels together is important too.
If bad situation one panel in the black out means the panel groups output is low
And solar panels are black, even converting ~30% of the light in energy they do heat up.. so they interfere with the atmosphere.
All in all, a mix is a good solution, because wind and solar power have their weaknesses
btw. the wind forecasts are +90% acurate, that's not what you can say about a checkered sky.
Windturbines are hightech products. They seem so easy, but they are not.
1.) the blades - these are aerodynamic blades - they are CFD and FEM-caculated - they are physically tested - validating caculations with measurements
The technology and engineering knowledge that goes into the blade design is a highly protected secret to each manufacturer.
2.) the power train - varying loads, from varying directions - multipiple stress for the main bearing(s) - dynamical simulated powertrains - gear boxes with weights from 20 to 70 metric tons - nacelle masses up to 500 metric tons, - rotor masses up to 100 metric tons - flexible blades up to 60 meters and above made of fiber and carbon composite material
3.) generator, operation & control - computers and sensor networks measuring with high resolution on the grid side and adjusting the powergeneration to grid spikes and lows and try to dampen torque spikes on the power train.
Response times within sub 5ms.. for big rotating inertiamass.
Grid complaince, grid safety, load reduction.
4.) hub heights 80 meters and above
5.) rated power from 1 Megawatt up to 6 Megawatts
Wind turbines are highly engineered products, and if they are not.. they fail.
The higher the rated power of those turbines goes the more engineering effort has to be taken.
Btw. on the engineering side the U.S. are head to head with european researchers, and engineers
The answer is that you have to place the turbines within a specfic position and distance to each other, otherwise you lower the efficiency of the windfarm.
What's causing this is that every windturbine produces turbulence on it's downwind side. Turbulence(air swirls) is entropy, which means there is energy but you cannot use it.
These air swirls are called "wake". They are helical srews of turbulent air spiraling in the downwind.. one for each blade. They dissipate with distance. The wake is also known from the wing tips on airplanes.
So windfarm designers take measurements or analyse measurements, to extract the main direction (range) from where the wind comes and place the turbines so they most likely not interfere with each others downwind. The turbine in the downwind would extract less energy, but due to the turbulent wind it would be exposed to nearly the same mechanical loads*, and this is not good for lifetime.
Now having heard that social progressives are more into censorship.. than others etc..
I want to state some facts about germany and the background, and in the end my own opinion:
The swastika, also the posing in the public doing the "Nazi salute", and public saying of "Heil Hitler" with a non-documentary or historic background are prohibitted.
If you do a historic documentation about the NAZIs the use of the Swastika is allowed.
But also building up organizitions and naming them after their Nazi counterparts is prohibitted,
like - "NSDAP" the Party also known as the "NAZI"-party - "HJ" (Young Hitlericans(male)) - "BDM" (Young Hitlericans(female) - "SS" (Sturm Staffel)
or stating that the holocaust never happend, also known as "Holocaust Luege" - holocaust lie.
b.) Are there Nazis still in Germany active ?
Yes, they are. In Germany, we have two (bigger) extreme right wing parties:
- NPD (Nationaldemokratische Partei Deutschlands) (nationaldemocratic party germany) - REP (Republikaner:: Republicans)
The NPD has some MPs in east german non-federal parliaments. Some days ago they also managed to reenter one of the parliaments in a row.
That's a premiere because anytime else they entered a parliament they were out on the next election. Mostly because their members had stolen computers, office equipment and embezzled money for themselves(it was meant for covering expenses due to political work).
Funny isn't it, for a party which stands for law and order, more order than law I guess.
So these people mostly turn out to be total boneheads, the elitebrain leaders within those parties are few.
But they are connected and involved to non-offical/underground/forbidden organizations like the "Freie Kameradschaften"
sometimes those organizations gather weapons and explosives, for terrorist acts.
The members of these "gangs" are often young and violent, they gather in flashmobs and have hobbies like beating up foreigners, just for being foreign, sometimes they kill, or hunt their prey in such a threatening way that the hunted people try to get into a safehouse by kicking in a glass window, accidently cutting themselves and bleeding to death.
If you have black, dark skin or look like a gipsy you can end up as their prey, but sometimes because you look funny or do not speak german.
And if you are jewish they demolish your property or paint graffities like "SS" or "Jude verrecke" (this means Jew die, in an extreme unpleasant way) onto your property, synagogues and graveyards.
And all this, happens in germany still, mostly in eastern germany - there are dangerous hotspots where this happens, outside of these hotspots it's mostly safe.
The prohibitions are instated to battle those extreme right parties.
Please keep this in mind, when discussing those NAZI-topics.
To get things into the right perspective, for germany those violent acts are _not_ common, most foreign visitors describe germany as a "clean and friendly country", and to be clear most of my fellow citizens are no NAZIs and won't do any harm.
But recent studies suggest 10 percent of the allowed voters can imagine themselves to vote for extreme right parties.
So most of us try that those new Nazis will not ever rise up again, as it happend in '33.
My personal opinion about this topic is:
I think it's wrong that the holocaust-lie is prosecuted by law, because I want to know what idiot I face from the beginning.
Perhaps after my lines below you can imagine why this is a very sensitive spot in our history even today.
Six Million people dead - selected to live or to die, after they left the train on the basis of their condition. Those who could do work, or were technically skilled were forced to work very low on food, with no medical support, so it was death by work. Those who were weak - children, elderly

Years ago I used viavoice on Warp4, and it had a pretty decend recognitation rate ..
it was even better understanding my needs than I can get Windows7 understand mine by mice commands ..
I miss those times .. when grey was a chique color for OSes
Those jokes aren't even funny nor interesting.
They are just bad.
Except the youtube 1/4 that thing was good !

Well, then we just have to build some more accelerators at costs of some billion euros,
to employ some more physicists ?
