It looks to me like you haven't updated your eSATA drivers in years.
My 2.5 year old Dell E6500 recognized HotPlugged eSATA drives under both XP & Seven. The connector is eSATA+USB so it can be used for either purpose & that external eSATA drives that use the right cable can send the eSATA over one side of the connector & pull power over the USB side with a single cable.
USB 3 offers no advantages over eSATA to anyone who has updated to using non-buggy eSATA drivers.
Apple has not abandoned Firewire (it is still on the most recent iMacs that added Thunderbolt) and provided an upgrade path for when/if it does (Thunderbolt/Firewire adapters).
You are hereby evicted from you current premises. Begone by the break of day or we will send Billy Goat Gruff.
"already contravening"? Does judgecorp work for a tabloid like the Sun? Try "The EU in creating new rules to cover a domain it had ignored up to now, has devised rules stricter than the current implementations in iPhones and Android". TFA Gives no information whether it is the on-device caching of geo-location information that is the problem or whether WinPhone7's PhoneHome behavior of the same info is also covered in the new rules.
By the same yardstick the figures touted by "green" power vendors being capable of replacing German nuclear power is yet more biased because they stand to profit directly and overstated by magnitudes. The German dream of replacing their nukes with wind/solar is filled with holes big enough to pass the moons of Jupiter yet the IAEA is suspect & the most optimistic figures of anything solar/wind related is accepted at face value. The german people as a whole is intelligent. Yet they delude themselves into believing that adding more electricity generators that deliver mostly when more is unneeded is going to help them add base load. It can't work now & won't work any better in 10 or even 20 years.
You really need to check your sources (straight from the mouths of the Greens or of a solar industry wonk I suspect). France has been a net exporter of electricity every month for decades. While hot&dry weather has reduced that margin a few times, at no time has France ever imported more than it has exported. That France has imported some needs from nearby plants over one border doesn't counterbalance exports over other borders.
The german solution is ass backwards. Instead of eliminating the coal plants that release the most CO2 & radio-nucleotides into the environment, get rid of the nuke plants & then, when it's too late look into curtailing coal. EDF applauds your short sightedness.
In my layman's opinion, consequences would not have been quite as grave as you make it seem. Bad, yes but not Chernobyl bad. Reactors are not usually run at full bore so even in the event of a loss of control to the control rods it is likely that they would have been able to achieve a partial SCRAM. Even if reactor containment was lost, having access an intact exterior power gives them more options & I assume they could have performed Fukashima style water injection if needed.
Produce proof on IAEA's figures being biased (no using greenpeace our your mama cousin's sister's acquaintance -- they are biased too) or you're just another luddite spreading FUD.
The thing with organizations like the IAEA is that they produce peer-reviewed studies that are reproducible. All you have to do is finance the same studies to get the data and analyse it to see if the conclusions hold. When this is done the studies published by the IAEA hold up...
Until electricity is transported using superconducters, having a surplus of electricity anywhere is useless. Until then, the means of production will continue to have to be in relative proximity to the areas where it will be consumed. While much of the german public actually believes that wind & solar will suffice for your needs, Électricité de France awaits your electrical deficits (& thus their future profits) with the nuke generated means you refuse to build for yourselves...
Increased being going from three to four chances in a million in developing a cancer (not a lethal cancer, merely a cancer). This in a general population that laughs off smoking as a cancer risk that is hundreds of times more lethal. Nope, no scare mongering here...
Chicago Pile-1, the first artificial, self-sustaining, nuclear chain reaction was graphite-moderated but not water cooled (there was no cooling...) . Luckily CP-1 & it's successor CP-2 were shut down after years of functionment without any accidents happening.
Other nuke plants nearby got hit with equivalent wave heights but had better protected generators and have not experienced any further problems so "safe, earthquake proof, tsunami proof" are all possible.
As others have pointed out elsewhere, even the tsunami was survivable for nearby nuke plants that had arranged sufficient protection for the electric generators. As such Fukashima is a lesson to be learned but nowhere near the problem many anti-nukes portray.
The luddites are using emotions instead of logic. I see that being exposed as luddites bothers them but calling them luddites is not insuting them, just describing them.
You're truly ignorant. You not only do not know how little you know, you ignore how much what you think you know is wrong. At a rough guess you're 13. Old enough to have read a book or two & think that that makes you smarter than your peers yet not old enough to have learned that your peers are only 13 & you know next to nothing.
Artillery is an area saturation tool. Some barrel variability is desired. It randomizes impacts in the target zone as otherwise successive rounds from the same tube would impact into the same crater as the first. Until the lands get overworn there is thus no reason to perform any barrel correction & once the lands get that worn down you're getting such reduced performance from byblast that the tube needs to be replaced anyway.
You once again display your ignorance by confounding a man launchable hypervelocity missile and a barrel launched AGTM. One difference between the two that you were unable to figure out for yourself is that the rocket motor can't burn someone protected by a few inches of steel, like inside a tank...
The russians weren't the only ones to develop barrel launched ATGMs, but they were the only ones to persist in this failed experiment. The . The problem was not that it would "hurt the operator" but that any use of the main gun would fritz the electonics so that the missile's guidence was very often degraded into uselessness. Now run off & buy more books until you're old enough to go into the military junior.
Much like for a teacher who only gives out A's being a phoney, having a review hand out a failing grade give me more confidence in the system. It shows that the USG is not glossing over problems.
Tank cannons & rifles are both line of sight systems which is why it is useful to correct distortions in the cannon so that the hit-point corresponds to the aim point Artillery (both tube & rocket) is fundamentally non-line of sight which is why having intelligent munitions which can correct their flight path is useful.
TFA & I have been referring to the first tech. You keep saying that the second is an instance of the first. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Don't bring up gun launched missiles the russian's were using unless you want to look even more like a fool.
Just shows you just how bad michael moore's reputation has become. Yeah he's fooled a lot of people but the recipe is clear now: 1: Find a controversial subject 2: Make a biased film 3: Bask in the initial limelight & brush off all detractors as right wing loonies 4: Move onto another subject when the hard questions start coming out
No. The system in TFA describes methods for upping the accuracy by eliminating/adjusting for variations in the barrel, not technologies to guide the bullet/shell/missile.
Thanks for clearing your position up. We're not so far off after all it seems.
The reason why capitolistic democracies with checks & balances work better than the rest (IMO) is that they convert greed into a mostly positive force and make regime changes mostly non-violent. Yes, both can be perverted but my reading of history makes them a globally better system than communism which only works when everyone believes (like in the kibbutzes) otherwise systematically degenerating into repressive regimes. Communism lacks the mechanisms to remove corruption that democracy has.
It appears to be an adaptation of technology that has existed for many years for Tank barrels. It's no panacea but will help in reducing some of the many variables.
The problem being that every time communism has aspired to being a government it has systematically degenerated into authortarian regime. You try to blame it on Lenin/Trotsky/Stalin/Mao/Ho/Hoxha by claiming that they polluted the "pure" intentions. I see a systematic problem that in unworkable above a few thousand people.
The one case where people are "disappeared" in the US only happens to illegal aliens & even in those cases where they are dumped into a society that they have little knowledge of, they are not killed. You obviously have no idea how wrong your preconceptions are (concerning me or the world in general) & just as obviously need to spend some time living in another country where you can meet real live people to whom family disappearances are NOT the product of a leftist undergrads over imagination.

Anecdotally, the engineers from EDF that I have met can't wait for Germany to abandon it's nuke plants. Talk about a captive market...
