Falun Gong Sues Cisco
·
· Score: 1
No, even in China their mafia government official has laws that limit and prohibit many actions by the mafia government. They're often ignored. But those acts are still illegal. The problem is getting the Chinese government to officially recognize that they're illegal, and punish them according to the law.
Hence suing in US court, which has laws against US corporations violating foreign laws, international laws, US laws, and all kinds of other laws. And where people suing still have some chance of seeing even a powerful corporation or a powerful foreign government found guilty, and even actually punished by the US government.
Not a safe bet, not nearly reliable justice. But far better odds than in China.
How? China isn't being sued, so Germany wouldn't fit this model. And how have German Scientologists been systematically sureveilled, suppressed, falsely imprisoned, beaten and jailed?
Your guess is supported by neither facts nor logic.
I notice that Cisco is such a tight "partner" with MS-NBC that its news shows feature a Cisco telepresence monitor with prominent logo in most shots of the newsreaders, even when the monitor isn't doing anything Cisco, and the logo is superimposed in the video whenever telepresence is running. And that General Electric owns MS-NBC.
There's that "liberal" media: self-censoring news that's inconvenient to its corporate sponsors and powerful foreign countries.
It says right in the Constitution exactly what the post that you contradicted says.
You are the one merely asserting your preferences and insisting on getting them.
Copyright abridges our rights to free speech, press and other expression. It's arguably justified only when it advances progress in science and the useful arts. "Incentivizing creation" is just your opinion of why, and is at best highly debatable.
Their 5 year plans have a very good track record. Their efficiency and emissions upgrade programmes have a very good track record, especially lately.
Taking comfort in the uncertainty of China's plans is no substitute for the comfort that would come from a US industrial policy, or anything else that improved the US chances to match the next 5 years of China's energy efficiency drive.
Chinese companies in my own industry that measures and reduces energy consumption are fully already engaged in projects across China under this 2015 target. China's living in reality, not excuses to wallow in filth and past glory.
How about an ARM that is a pin-compatible replacement for a PIC (24F)? And how about some SW that ports PIC24F firmware to that ARM? I'd love to try upgrading my PIC24F board to ARM, without changing any of my other HW or SW. If that ARM can run Android with my PIC code embedded in it on my old PIC board, I'd get right on it in the lab.
Maybe an ARM with FPGA embedded in the SoC that can replace the PIC24F pin-for-pin (or superset the old pins), running Android, with the PIC simulated in FPGA. If that can run with at least a few thousand gates left over for other apps, I'd be compelled to try it.
I just want the desktop to become active when the last app is quit, instead of the last app leaving its window frame and title bar (and nothing else but a white main pane) in the screen bitmap. I don't need accelerated graphics. The vesa driver will work better than the default that Ubuntu installs?
I don't see in Preferences or Administration any apps/tools to turn off acc graphics or to switch drivers. Where are they?
The current recession was caused by the creation of a fake economy entirely in finance, replacing production with debt, that finally ran out of credit and crashed. Just like the Great Depression. The high oil prices were caused by speculation, which was part of that fake economy (and continues to be, as the fake economy has continued through the crash).
There is no real economics in what you're describing (not that it's your fault). It's all fake economics. There are plenty of ways to account for alternative energy's costs that show they're already much lower than petrofuels like oil, coal and uranium. But until the economy stops being mostly fake, which was last true sometime around 1997, there's no point "proving" anything by referring to it.
FWIW, those same bankers are indeed intentionally sending the nation into poverty. They're just not doing it to clean the air. Quite the contrary. Investing in cleaning the air also cleans out the fake economy.
ICE cars get about 25% efficiency from gasoline, and getting the gasoline from crude to their tanks eats at least another 7%.
Coal plants, while filthy, still generate electricity at over 35% (up to 45%) net efficiency that electric cars consume at over 95% net efficiency. That's at least 33% efficiency from coal/electric instead of 18% efficiency from gas/crude. ICE is therefore at most 54% (or as little as 42%) as efficient as the coal/electric transportation. When coal plants capture the "waste" heat from electricity generation, the combined cycles can be even higher in net efficiency (replacing other heat generation fuel), like in IGCC up to 60% efficiency. That puts ICE at 31% of coal's efficiency; coal can be 3.16x as efficient as ICE.
And coal plants generate their pollution centrally, where it can be collected much more efficiently than at millions of car tailpipes.
And coal plants can be replaced by geothermal plants, either in-place or just elsewhere on the grid. Plus moving everything to electricity makes it all more fungible, so it can be more efficiently consumed wherever it's needed at the moment, instead of the waste from stockpiling and speculation on easily disrupted supply chains.
China's 2011-2015 plan (its 11th 5 Year Plan) will reduce China's total energy consumption by 15%, and its total CO2(-equiv) emissions by 17%.
By the time China deprives the US of the "but China makes our efforts moot" fallacy that (literally) smokescreens US greed and filth, it will be too late for the US to catch up to China's lead in 21st Century industrialism. Way to blow it, deniers.
There is no claim that "any level of carbon in the air is too high". You made that up.
Practically no one is saying to give up transportation or electricity. You made that up, too. Some people say we should reduce wasteful transportation and electricity consumption, make its provision more efficient.
No one is sending the nation into poverty to clean the air. You made that up, too. The opposite is true: people are trying to save the nation from the poverty that Greenhouse pollution is creating, by investing in the clearly highly profitable improvements and replacements for our Greenhouse pollution ways.
No one's sneering at "money". You made that up, too. There wasn't even a sneer in there, except the one you made up. Reducing carbon emissions 10 years ago, more gradually and cheaper, doing less damage than we're facing now, would have embraced money. Just not the money of the polluters. Who deserve more than a sneer - they deserve jailtime and deep fines.
Nobody attacked your money. Unless you're profiting from Greenhouse denial or Greenhouse pollution. Which, from the pile of stuff you just made up, seems entirely likely. In which case, you deserve an attack you haven't yet gotten, as well as jailtime and deep fines.
Ever since I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 my Desktop doesn't redraw. Whatever was the last app on the screen leaves its last bitmap up when I close the last app. And switching between apps takes about 700ms, even when there's not much going on.
My PC is an old P4/2.4GHz/2GB with Intel 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE integrated graphics, so Ubuntu refused to install Unity and left GNOME. Yeah, it's old, but one reason I prefer Linux to Windows (or Mac) is that I expect to get the full performance out of the old stuff, not the planned obsolescence of bloatware commercial OS'es. But am I stuck with a crappy desktop now? Forced to buy new HW to keep using my "free" OS?
If you're a banker, you can rob $TRILLIONS, steal whole counties worth of homes, fund genocide, take down governments, delete pensions. I'm sure that if you also pirate video streams there's some way to forgive that, too.
Mitsuhiko+Tanaka was an engineer who led Fukushima's building of the reactor vessel. He told Japan's government following Chernobyl's explosion that he had helped TEPCO cover up the fact that the reactor vessel was damaged during its manufacture. Japan's government ignored him and continued to relicense Fukushima for many years past either his warning or Fukushima's designed lifecycle.
This is the problem with nukes: the people in its industry and government cooperate to protect the corporate profits rather than the public even when those two interests are in conflict. Regardless of technical solutions to technical problems (which cost money and are ignored when the corporation can get away with it), the problem that's proven impossible to solve is the failure to properly regulate the rich essential monopolies owning or running the nuke plants.
Which is a problem not just where earthquakes and tsunamis are the particular risk. It's a problem in countries like Russia, Japan and the US.
That is the risk that nuke boosters never admit: the risk of human error in the regulation and oversight, not just the engineers. These nukes are too risky for our corruptible industrialists and government people to be trusted with.

Me too. Well not completely: I'd be happy to have him doing what he does for my business, if I were Google's owners/execs/directors. But not because what he says is true or even necessarily reasonable.
As I said, "I spent all afternoon in his DC office about 5 years ago. He's also a top Google bullshitter". He didn't inspire me to anything but skepticism of whatever he says in his paid work for Google, since what he told me (about certain patents and acquisitions that we were meeting about) was obvious bullshit, and was actually proven to be simply lies less than a month later when certain Google actions (completed and underway when we met) were made public in due course.
Cerf is influential, but not because his assertions are anything but the business position of Google, a rich and powerful corporation working to be "the next Microsoft", complete with monopoly privileges.

There are plenty of people alive with standing to sue Cisco for actual damages, including wrongful death of family members they personally lost.
Those Jews still alive with that same standing in damages by IBM's work for the Nazis have a case. Dead people are arguable.

Googling ("falun gong" cisco site:msnbc.com) returns no pages. But MS-NBC does cover cisco and Falun Gong (though not very much at all).

You're pretty much in denial of the fact that China is simultaneously retiring its dirtiest coal plants, for an actual net reduction in emissions.
Which is what counts. But you go on clutching at context-free facts to make you feel superior. It's the American Way.
You're talking shit. You're a Teabagger fool to whom nothing has to actually make sense.
Goodbye.
