Though it's a bit closer to third person shooter version of diablo than MMO. But honestly, if you want a proper warframe with all the pretty graphics, you have to have a decent PC with nvidia card in it. Harware physx particles for skill effects are pretty.
In terms of net emissions at the exhaust? Beneficial. You don't have full load on the turbine, which means that you need to burn less coal until the plant has to pick up the load.
Problem rises from the sum of all things, not just the fact that renewables need nearly 100% spinning reserve backing them up because of their inherent unreliability. In example I list, the problem lies in the method of financing renewables, which basically ignores their real cost, both in terms of real CO2 emissions cost of having them in the grid as well as real costs of keeping them in the grid.
But to be fair, that sort of slack was always needed for novel technologies to be implemented. The problem is that we're simply nowhere near where we need to be on wind power and solar power in terms of longevity of parts for wind and relative efficiency for solar for them to be truly meaningful.
But it's also true that if we don't build them at all, we're not going to progress. This part of environmentalist argument is factually correct. The problem is the extrapolation of this argument into absurd levels, which is what is happening in Germany.
We did this about two months ago. I'm not going to stoop to your level for the second time.
I'll just point out the most obvious part of your trolling: that even German leaders all the way up to Merkel think that Energiewende is a mess in need of severe reform.
Didn't we just have this same argument two months ago or so, where I presented you with everything you're asking for here and you asked back then. Including charts from Fraunhofer, der Spiegel articles on the topic and so on?
I really don't want to start listing all the sources for the second time.
That is the reality of wanting an alternative operating system, and is a choice of the people. If you want simplicity as an end user, windows is currently OS of choice, as its specifically built to install itself automatically with all the necessary drivers and settings by OEM.
Not any more than you could download an android to windows phone and expect it to work.
Macs, while built of largely same parts, just like android and windows phones, have specific hardware implementation that make their respective operating systems not directly cross-compatible.
The problem is that increasing the amount of installed and connected renewable capacity requires equivalent amount of spinning reserve to also be connected to the grid.
Which results in massive build up of burner-based power plants and restarting many mothballed older coal plants.
Nukes being taken down is a part of it. Renewable build-up is another part of it.
You don't have a clue. In Germany, most renewables are an investment by various corporate entities, with remaining few investment by wealthy people.
All of which are subsidized extensively through massive additional taxation of electric bill of everyone else. Hence it's an effective transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich.
P.S. Do you even realise that when you have to heat your apartment, light bulb has effective efficiency of nearly 100%?
People responsible for power grid stability care a lot, since their job is avoiding grid collapse. And people who are forced to run those coal plants, but forced to not be able to sell their electricity because of "renewable energy must be sold out before any coal energy can be sold on exchanges" rule.
So they have to run their plants as spinning reserve because without them, there would be no renewables. In fact, they are mandated by law in Germany to run them. Yet they are not allowed to sell any electricity as long as there is a windmill or solar plant in vicinity producing enough power. As a result, a lot of coal plant operators in Germany are going bankrupt, and that is causing a hilarious effect of blocking already built renewable plants from getting connected to the grid. No spinning reserve - no ability to hook that wind power to the grid.
Renewables are basically destroying their own foundation.
Current version of German environmentalism unfortunately causes mass poverty and functions as a significant wealth transfer mechanism from poor to the rich at the moment. That's why more and more people get disillusioned with it even in Germany, where massive PR effort was used to hide the fact that Energiewende caused Germany to start increasing it's CO2 emissions for first time in over a decade and breach it's Kyoto targets.
Essentially it's a failure when it came to reducing emissions, which increased, it's a failure when it comes to providing affordable energy to people, as there are now people who suffer from "energy poverty", state where they cannot afford electricity and have to go without. And finally it's a failure upon itself, because Germany has trouble adding more renewables for last couple of years, because subsidies make it really cheap to build renewables, but no one wants to operate coal plants needed to be their spinning reserve because they cannot sell their electricity due to "renewables first" rule at electricity sale exchanges.
It's a clusterfuck. Tyranny, not so much. Just a massive amount of incompetence on political level about real issues with energy production coupled with environmentalist beliefs pushed onto politiicans by people who are straight up scammers. And both people of Germany, as well as people around the world are paying for it. Germans pay for it with massive subsidies that make poorer people being unable to afford electricity at all, while the rest of us are paying for it through the fact that Germany produces more and more CO2 as more and more brown coal plants have to be fired up to provide spinning reserve for more and more renewables.
This isn't US. It's normal and expected to travel by foot, bike or public transit much of which is electric in Europe. Where I live, closest library is about 1km away, and it would take me significantly longer to get there by car than by foot. It would similarly take me much longer to reach central library of my city by car than by public transit, which has a stop about 500m from my home and a stop in front of the said central library.
This has nothing to do with "burning gasoline", and this particular strawman collapses even when used on its own merits. And it's very obvious that this isn't what the court's decision was about in the first place.
Essentially all drives already have many such gauges. Just take a look at SMART readings of any modern hard drive. They have several "pre failure" and "old age" counters.
This would simply have to measure temperature, which would increase with increasing friction from loss of helium, just like all modern drives do, and start giving out SMART warnings after certain threshold is crossed, just like modern drives already do.
Originality, and original community that came with it.
It's just like WoW in this regard. There are much better games than WoW in the same genre, but none of them have WoW's community, the people already playing the game. And just like in WoW, the main reason I heard from people playing minecraft why they're still playing it is "because I like to play it with my friends".

Not at all. Banks are doing great and they by definition cannot trust their employees.
It's all about proper security measures being implemented to counter the risk.
Warframe is coming out on XBONE as well afaik.
Though it's a bit closer to third person shooter version of diablo than MMO. But honestly, if you want a proper warframe with all the pretty graphics, you have to have a decent PC with nvidia card in it. Harware physx particles for skill effects are pretty.
A more successful Firefall is more like it.
Warframe has no PvP worth mentioning at all. It's full on cooperative PvE shooter.

Here in Finland, Finnish copy is 100€ and Swedish or English copy is about 107-114€.

You cannot for a very simple reason. OS is free on those devices, and is an integral part of the purchase.
This is not the case on PCs, which are designed to have a variety of OSs installed on them and can be shipped without any operating system if needed.
OS on a phone is more like BIOS on PC as far as this ruling is concerned. Integral basic software required to run the hardware.

Actually is just discredited running tests on nuclear plants with all automatic safeties disabled.

France on the other hand is mostly nukes. Next strawman?
Damaged books are usually repaired, not re-printed. It's amazing what you can do to a torn up book using some transparent tape and glue.

It addresses his claim of supposed lack of cost-effectiveness.
