If there's only one wire, then any difference between service is in the servers and gateways.
In that case, tax pays for the wire and subscription buys you gateways to other wires. That way, it's clear what you buy and there's no fake competition on a natural monopoly.
ICEs are less efficient than electrical, because you have multiple conversions of energy and none of them are anything like 100%. (You might want to look up second laws if thermodynamics. If STEM is essential, you should start.)
You also have a long drive train with ICEs, you don't need most of it for electrical.
Modern gasoline engines have a maximum thermal efficiency of about 25% to 50% when used to power a car. Conventional gasoline vehicles only convert about 17%–21% of the energy stored in gasoline to power at the wheels.
An electric motor typically is between 85% and 90% efficient.
Skills should be utilized and heirarchies squished. Labels are what you buy at the supermarket.
Work/life is fair, except that work that's disjoint from life will always be second rate.
A challenge is the only thing that keeps you going. A job is where you should be paid to learn as much, if not more, than to actually do.
Programmers who study and design make fewer mistakes, so if you want a decent product, don't let the programmers near a machine until they have the software on paper.
I'd be much more interested in them abolishing fossil fuel subsidies - $22 trillion a year is a LOT of your money and mine.
I'd also be interested in seeing light rail and quality bus services mandated in all cities, with city centres pedestrianized or made locals only, as has happened in parts of England.
Getting people out of cars is more important than getting them around with less pollution.
Let's imagine that was true. It isn't, but let's pretend. We know that fossil fuels get $22 trillion in subsidies EACH YEAR.
Now, want to tell me which of those numbers is the more significant?
If you think cars shouldn't be subsidized, fine. Abolish the subsidies on fossil fuels as well. All of it. Go on. Or is it only causes you agree with that get handouts?
100% of petrol/gas cars are using dirty source. Fewer than 100% of electrical power stations are using dirty sources.
Don't know, but the maths looooooooks like it might favour the electric cars there, your tilting off axiom.
Then there's scale efficiency. One generator creating an enormous amount of power is less wasteful than a million tiny generators creating insignificant power and wasting most of that in the form of heat.
Again, maths.
I am really beginning to think people should be required to be licensed in STEM subjects before being allowed to post on the Internet.
I would point out that Robert Owen, Titus Salt and Joseph Rowntree were socialists... and businessmen. Indeed, if you BOTHERED to read, you would discover that cooperatives (a socialist invention) and corporate socialism are not only real but by far the most common forms.
I would point those things out, but since you F.ing don't give a shit about the real world, only what you think it should conform to, I'm not sure why I should.
I think you'll find that I mentioned.... Oh, look! THIRTEEN MILLION SQUARE MILES of lava. And the asteroid? Triggered the lava flows, not the dying in itself.
Amazing.
Christ on a pancake. Does ANYONE bother to read these days? Am I the last person on Earth who can read???
Games are not hard real time. Wake me up when you learn your terms.
Elite: Dangerous streams, but it suffers badly from lag. Not even remotely real time.
LibreOffice is crap in terms of performance. I use the latest Java and it is SLOW. I also hand-turn assembly, so know probably a bit more about REAL performance. Where else you fake performance is your business.
The question was whether you could do hard real time over the Internet. The answer is no.
Ever worked with Internet 2? Thought not. Did you read my reply or just post because you're a whining bastard who posts hatred at random? Actually, don't bother answering. Actually, no point in me saying that, since you're clearly not up to reading yet.

They have... Other methods. Ars Technica has a piece on them slicing up the cable of rivals.
The FCC says there's competition.
If the FCC are lying, that's the FCC's look out.
How about one that's swirched off? Converts 100% of energy in into output.
Otherwise, ICEs are 21% efficient, tops.

Then Orcs can storm your ship, or you can storm the space dredger filled with them. Not sure which would be the more fun.
It linked processes to monsters, so kill a monster means kill a process. I think the cpu usage determined monster speed as well, but can't recall.

Why fines? Suspend their license to operate transmitters anywhere for one month per area they've lied about.
Far worse than any fine, and the FCC have absolute authority on transmitters.
So we already know there will be no penalties, merely some stern words in exchange for an under the table donation.
I'd recomment Mosaic over Firefox, these days.

That is one form of Socialism, not all forms. Doesn't anyone have the capacity to comprehend basic English?
40% of the socialist forms that exist are, amazingly, also capitalist.
The two are not opposites.
Strangely, China is not east of the North Pole.
Doesn't matter what the actual key size is, only the effective key size.

Amazingly, there HAS been a rapid change in the environment, and no evidence of a pause.
The statement is factually correct and the categorization appropriate. Sorry you don't like it.
I am also playing the 4-digit UID Joker Card, which gives me a free excuse.
