That would actually take a good bit more energy than just ejecting it from the solar system entirely.
getting it into the Sun is not the problem, it's getting it safely off the Earth that's the issue. the thorium fuel cycle produces ~30x less long-lasting hazardous waste than uranium per W output (~15kg/GWyr).
availability for domestic use is not the issue. my concern is the ability of nutjobs to achieve their desired goal of prematurely bringing the end of the world.
with continued research into sea water extraction, your first four objections go away
actually 2&3 are still valid. regardless, it's only viable when you get from $300/lb pre-process to $50/lb market. there's NO excuse for enriching Uranium anywhere (i'm looking at Iran/N. Korea here), other than 1) making weapons, or 2) supporting a (environmentally|politically|economically) hazardous status-quo.
Thorium is more plentiful, but it is not water soluble, so it doesn't benefit from this type of mining technique
huh? you don't need to enslave the population of a 3rd-world country in order to mine Thorium, either. but i don't see that as a negative. the stuff is (almost) everywhere, you don't need to resort to crazy mining/extraction techniques. you can just, you know, dig it up out of the ground.
right, because the linux kernel isn't written in C and it doesn't run in ring 0, directly on the hardware. Of course, if you weren't an EE you'd know this stuff.
I'm not talking about hard word wrap, I'm talking about manually formatting lines. Here's a simple example, but there are many variations, some much subtler...
the problem isn't that it helpfully adds semicolons where you forgot to add them. that would be great if it's all that it did. however, the problem is that it sometimes adds semicolons just when you don't want it to add them. what's worse is that it's impossible to know the difference between the two unless you're familiar with the language spec.
for example, like to word-wrap long lines in your code? be careful, javascript might just put a semicolon before your line break. in C all whitespace in code is equivalent, not so in javascript, sometimes.
I do programming as a lucrative hobby - it's my job and I like it. I do it well and people who need programming done pay me to do it.
It's called trade - two people need something each other have and they swap. It's been done like that for ever. Except when you have fucking crazy asshats in power that think they have a different idea about how things should be done.
If you think the only valuable professions are those that don't require any significant training then you're basically suggesting that we should go back to the stone age. But don't even bother getting into stone carving - that bubble's bound to burst soon...
there are more murders in Washington DC than in Colorado in a typical year.
this is the stupidest argument for anything. DC and Colorado are radically different places sociologically, demographically, in pretty much every way that you can think of.
it's like saying, "hey, there's no gun ban on the moon, look how many murders they have there!"
quit your trolling. the pi foundation already has two debian releases that do use Debian mainline. the reason the raspian guys are re-building everything is because Debian doesn't do a port that supports hf on arm6. if you hate it so much, try convincing Debian to add a new port... the raspian guys already automatically merge mainline updates.

because the kinds of microbes that live in cockroaches are the same kind that make you dead.
Uranium sucks:
unless you're talking Uranium-233 bred in a thorium-fueled reactor, of course...

how else do you explain "informing" the electorate that less information is better?
the ribbon and metro were designed by the same person.
right, because the linux kernel isn't written in C and it doesn't run in ring 0, directly on the hardware. Of course, if you weren't an EE you'd know this stuff.
apparently the control and motor thingies are running C code which is lower-level than the Linux kernel.
not a computer guy, then.

that's the classic 'bash, tr, sort, uniq & sed' answer.
now, do it just using bash...
so you're saying that whenever the buyer thinks a good is too expensive and they're unable to just steal it, the whole concept of trade is invalid?

from the debian wiki:
the pi uses an ARMv6 CPU.
