Harnessing the energy won't be the problem. Dissipating the heat will be. At present grow rates we'll boil off the water in about 440 years. In a thousand years the energy we use will make the surface of the earth as hot as the surface of the sun. You can't fool mother nature.
:-) Yeah, I caught that after I posted. Eh, it doesn't matter either way while we still depend on BIGCORP for the service. And most people really aren't against the spying anyway.
No, not China. Companies like Phillip Morris is more interested in TPP. It will stamp out the growing Asian and African anti-tobacco campaign. The US (meaning "US" companies) will benefit more than anybody. China of course is a convenient diversion of attention from the real pushers.
Calling for the apocalypse are we? You know, the people you are fighting have used nuclear weapons before. They won't hesitate if they feel truly threatened in any way to do it again. They will even do it to enforce copyright if the resistance were able to protect itself from anything less. We are way beyond politics and far into pathology. They will bring it, no problem. You have yet to see the face of your monster.
Pfft! Prison for pencil pushers, yeah that'll get 'em! I swear, prison is such a fetish with you people. Does it make you horny? How about just taking their shit, now and for the future, and demoting/firing the offender.
One thing cool about the rich, not all of them are very smart. Business in the snake oil trade is always very good. These are the same people who buy "unbreakable DRM" also, right? What the hell, let's milk 'em for all they got.
"dymanic" sounds like very high maintenance. We will never have anything like the 2000 years of papyrus and stone. Glass disks might work, but reproduction issues still have to be worked out. It has to be human readable with absolutely minimal effort for a very long time.
Online finances (Western Union), electric cars (Thomas Parker), space technology (Goddard), solar energy (Russell Ohl), and battery tech (Gaston Planté, Camille Alphonse Faure).
And notice these guys did real grunt work, out in snow.
It is so environmentally unfriendly to let people live in comfort.
No, it's that abundance is bad for commodities traders and their derivatives markets. If you can't perpetually expand the market, you increase value through scarcity and dreamed up 'crises'. Every single shortage we endure is directly due to economics and politics and peoples' belief in their bullshit. Technically, lack of rain is a trivial matter with all those projects and more. All we suffer is a lack of interest in seeing them done. I wonder how many megawatts are spent on the bickering.
Because the customers let them. They are welcome to withdraw their money on mere suspicion. We already know that the big banks are criminal organizations, yet nobody is closing their accounts. Too inconvenient for one thing. So, here we are.

Hey, I'm not the one pissing and moaning about the 'aristocracy'. I'm just offering you an out.
It's the 99% that let them. They are slightly outnumbered, you know.
That said, its not us.....its the Aristocratic ruling class that we wont admit exists.
Then it is us. Only we can put and end to it, primarily by not acquiescing so easily.
It wasn't exactly directed at you. And please, notice the qualifier I threw in there.

That's why I said it could be done - at a cost.
Well yeah, like approaching the speed the light, the cost approaches infinite.
Um, most 'government privacy policies and legislation' is written and paid for by the commercial sector. What is 'broken' about it?
It only matters that people believe there is no other choice. It works. Simple as that. What can I say? This has always been a psychological game.
What he has done is something completely different..

Who cares about the damn data? Just don't let the bastards lock you up for it.

Did what? Collapse? You're joking, right?
Asked and answered... Present growth rates give us about 450 years at best before we boil all the water off.
Mars Colonization?
Please! Stop with this obsession. Do the moon first.
That's kinda backwards. How about charging the batteries during the day with solar and using the electric company as standby?
Pfft! He's a salesman, with a catchy name

Why are banks allowed to do this?
Because the customers let them. They are welcome to withdraw their money on mere suspicion. We already know that the big banks are criminal organizations, yet nobody is closing their accounts. Too inconvenient for one thing. So, here we are.
:-) Don't you mean the IMF?
Should I detect some irony in your presence then?
No, I don't blame inanimate objects for peoples' desires. Nobody is required to vote for bullshit.
