In June 2009, Europe's major mobile phone manufacturers agreed to adopt a universal charger for data-enabled mobile phones sold in the EU. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) - to date signed by 14 manufacturers - commits the industry to provide charger compatibility on the basis of the micro-USB connector.
In the first months of 2011, European consumers will be able to purchase a standard mobile phone charger for all data-enabled phones - including smartphones - sold in all 27 EU Member States.
You don't get it, Romania and Bulgaria do not have a garbage disposal problem (Italy actually has), Sweden has over-capacity in its waste burning plants and thus imports waste to keep them powered.
The reality is as follows: There were people trying to establish wast burning plants all over the nation. Some communities resisted. Then came the recycling revolution and you had so much capacity in your waste plants and so little waste fuel was left. So they decided to import waste to burn it. Still waste burning plants are a deficit business. The problem is theirs: massive overcapacity in waste plants.
Nuclear technology is dangerous. That is why Germany decided to abandon it.
In German conservative news I see there is alarm in Oyster Creek (2 on 4 accident scale).
Don't forget that the worst may still follow when the downfall moves to the sea.
The WTC towers did survive an aircraft flying into them. What they didn't survive was the jet fuel fire after the crash knocked the insulation off the girders.
I see, we didn't read the small print.
The issue is serious. For a nuclear power plant you need a cooling source, i.e. water. Remove the cooling source and you get into severe trouble. Flooding may cause damage to the cooling system.
Your assumption is that the government hires people capable to actually solve the problem. It does, but only in war times. In war times you lose ground when you follow the wrong path. When yo sent the horses against the machine guns. Governments are not interested to actually solve the problem but rather to be in charge of the problem.
We know that many security issues could be solved. Simply spent a few millions on security reviews of commonly executed code. and order the companies to provide bug fixes or apply punitive damages, make them partly liable for not fixing security issues.
We learned that the Fukushima ones were built by US engineers. If is difficult to master nuclear technology. Of course new technology is safer but I would argue old technology usually is also more robust.
When you have water in the basement of a skyscraper you probably have to tear it down for static reasons. The other issue is highrise construction sites. I guess we will see some damage there. And then think about electric appliances, switch boards, electronic equipment and so forth, salt water is a killer for electronics.
In Germany the Federal government massively moved away from nuclear technology because they feel it is unsafe and you don't know what to do with the waste. Vorsprung durch Technik - be first in the next wave of technology innovation. We now have 5MW wind generators serial production and it looks like only the network is an issue. Progress in solar technology is also amazing, Chinese companies took over the lead. When US nuclear power plants would be affected by the storm (just remember Fukushima) that would be very dangerous to the densely populated area. I really wonder how many levees they build.
Remember the WTC towers were "designed" to survive a 747 flying into them.
It is still no big deal because this is just a category one storm. It will do no real harm to the infrastructure. The United States should blame their ultility companies upon immaturity of their infrastructure.
This is post-machiavellian politicis, not academia. I am sure you will find the references at Aristotle's works.
Ethnic diversification leads to fragmentation and undermines solidarity within a population. Example: US struggles to agree on national health insurance.
War is a common cause to unite the people against a common enemy.
I don't think that is true. Supply and demand on the labour market do matter. If they work abroad that changes the terms of trade of the United States.
Generally excessive immigration is not good for the negotiating power of a workforce.
Well Mr. Bolden, I think you get one thing wrong: My original post was about migrating to Win8 which does not make sense for enterprises. Today WinNT, WINXP, VISTA, WIn7 are just fine for enterprises, and MAC and Linux would also do. We are becoming OS-indifferent just as we became browser independent.
BI professionals don't use Excel. I know that in certain fields database may mean Access and BI means Excel based solutions and that perfectly makes sense. Fine for me.

And the Huffington Post is still down! I wonder what sea water flooding implies for the financial district.
Here you find the signatories of the MoU. Apple complies by adaptor.
At least for the electric supply, phone lines and electronics you get real damage.

When nuclear business says as designed it does not mean as designed. I am getting the message that Oyster Creek raised the alarm level.

Germany exports more electric energy than it imports. You have to keep in mind that transnational power networks are not strongly developed.

Honestly, you switch them temporarily off. Storm is quite common where you have these wind power generators. So ye, there is research and planning.

Sandy is a real blow to WallSt, unlike the guys in their tents.
That is true but the metropole region is apparently not used to it. Plus construction in the United States is not very solid.

For forging a nation you need a war. Immigration without a war leads to fragmentation of a society.
The dominicans occupy certain positions in your team that won't be available for domestic players.

Has anyone here ever bought software on a Microsoft Windows store or would intend to buy it? What a slashdot strawman marketing!
I think companies which did not support software patent reformists and open standards deserve to suffer.
