Yes, because bean counters make policy. Energy is just another commodity under very tight controls by government protected industries. At the foundation is plain old greed of very class conscious people.
The only problem with desalination is the politics and greed that is impeding it. Technology is not an issue. It's about the market. Scarcity is its life blood.
They would no longer have a specific target and the streisand effect would be complete.
Their targeting isn't that accurate anyway. They can just pick off people as the opportunity arises.
So sad, everybody here blabbing about islam and 'morality'. Is anybody trying to find the money behind it, to its source? Islam is just another tool used to appeal to instinct and shut down reason. Find the person wielding the hammer. Chances are you'll be in for a real shock. So much so that you all will probably refuse to believe it and write it off as another conspiracy theory.
The internet idiots are also voting for the very people they complain about and then reelect them as many times as they can, makes them even bigger idiots. And of course we have the fools who believe the republican and democrats are actually in opposition to each other.
The government didn't just allow flaky operators to enter the market, it provided special privileges for them, specifically cutting out any oversight or competition. These companies were just the spinoffs from the old AT&T, Sprint, whoever. Nobody actually new entered the market. Whatever the government does, it will require much more real public oversight than there is now. That is not likely. The ongoing steady 95% reelection rates of carny hucksters is not conducive to good governance nor does it provide any incentive to change anything. So I don't expect much of anything beyond business as usual. The government will continue to protect its biggest 'contributors'. That is, after all, why it even exists.
Allowing competition is not more government 'restrictions'. Where do you get that idea? What we have now is government protectionism of an industry from competition. And the municipalities should also be allowed to compete with the private players. You're not making any sense. Back to school with you!
Not if we get real competition and municipal services out of the deal. Whatever happens will be sure to protect the incumbent interests, so all this talk right now means little to nothing.
There you go. Pull the other one. Like my teacher said, "Show your work"
And it wasn't 'criticism' that motivated Sony to release the movie. That statement sounds more like some people are feeling all self important and stuff.
Well, it hasn't ever worked out that way. All you get are border skirmishes and bigotry that invariably become global if not for an irresistible force to put the hammer down on all the dumbasses. All this crap I'm hearing sounds like typical Confederate sour grapes bullshit. It's been done before. And unfortunately it looks like it will be repeated again, and again. Whatever corruption you find in a representative government can be traced right back to the voters. That is where the problem is, and nowhere else. The government and the people in it are a reflection... if not a bit of a caricature.
You know, none of that can possibly happen until people vote for politicians that will write the appropriate legislation, and then, if they did, then the problem is solved. See, that's the thing, none of you people think this shit through.
As for 'limiting' the feds, screw that. The corrupt locals are no better. You will just have a bunch of battling little fiefdoms, like in middle age Europe, leading right up to another world war. Travel would be impossible with the resulting border bureaucracies. Do you really want to relive in a pre-civil war USA? Well, maybe if you're a white male, with some property, I would suppose so. For me, there's no time like the present
I've been watching this crap for over 50 years, it only becomes more obvious with each election. The last 15 have only been a steepening of the curve. But you go ahead, keep working against the truth of this business, it's your job.

Yeah, let's see it make, or call a bluff.
The NFL will cite some kind of copyright infringement and kill the whole thing.
I was always wondering what happened to good old fashion ROM in a socket. If you want an upgrade, a chip can be FedExed* to you
*Google isn't the only word to be 'verb-alized'
I'm really curious what this hedge fund does that they need to do this kind of hardcore security research.
They need more bots to do those super fast trades
Looks like it's better to call it limpware if it's so soft and easy to reprogram.
There are more than two alternatives. The money can't compel you to vote for the majors. That's just being lazy and and attempt to pass blame.

What, that greed is the biggest impediment to progress? I don't understand the question..
The only problem with desalination is the politics and greed that is impeding it. Technology is not an issue. It's about the market. Scarcity is its life blood.
I guess all that is still cheaper than desalination. Eh, another scam by the people who brought you the bearded lady snake, thing, whatever..
We'll be chasing it back and forth like crazy, every time a storm pops up.

And if you provoke a terrorist attack that gets a lot of innocents killed - are you not partially to blame, for all your freedom of speech?
Of course not! Do not support censorship. Learn to distinguish word from deed.

You sure?
The best thing about the real ones is the suspense. The story isn't over yet.
You can get your stiffy reading court records (pdf). It doesn't get any better. This stuff would be illegal to publish in any other way.

Religion today, and long into the past, is a business. None of this crap is done for free. The 'ideology' is a distraction from the financiers.
Does anyone really care?
