So you're going to move about 50% of the population of the world from nice small energy efficient cities to some kind of insane suburban sprawl, eating up all of our farmland.
Why?
None of this is rocket science. If industrialization is the problem, we need to de-industrialize.
My other issue is that no one seems ot realize that the drones we are talking about are military hardware and as such fall under the same military law, guidelines and policies.
Well, except for the ones run by the CIA.
Who probably fall under the definition of "unlawful combatants".
No, you misunderstand. Maybe about a billion _think_ it's important, but frankly it's all much the same to them:
You know, if someone thinks something is important to them maybe you should accept that it is important to them. Who are you to insist you know better than they do?
I was with numericable in the 11th (when they were called "cybercable") - they went from interesting to catastrophic to mediocre.
When I moved to the burbs (Champigny) there was no cable in my street so I went with Wanadoo ADSL, mediocre, then Free, which was OK, but I'm 5km from the exchange so only got about 200kbits/sec. Then 2 years ago numericable finally finished wiring the the quartier (with overhead wires - ugh) and they were giving 30Mbits down (I got around 20Mbits in practice). A year ago they finished the FTTLa setup, promising 100Mbits down and I get around 75Mbits reliably.
Not as good as the Orange Fibre I have in the office (13th), 100Mbits symetric, but better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
I'd give numericable a try if I were you, but the day you get FTTP, dump 'em.
Americans already have universally available Internet access. There is not one square inch of the United States where one cannot purchase Internet access.
So does France. This is not talking about internet access, this is about broadband.
It is not the drone operators who are responsible for those deaths. Why is it, by the way, that people always seem to ignore that the Geneva Conventions and other laws of warfare actually take into account the fact that the other side might not fight by those rules, and in that case effectively absolves the side that does?
This is simply untrue.
International law does not contain a get-out-of-jail-free card.

#1 thing to do about it- stop living in cities.

Oh, because you want us all to die.
In reality, xorg is pretty damn powerful: it has a hell of a lot to do, and on the whole it does it remarkably well.
FFS it works on my phone. I don't see what problem people have with poor old X.
An American carrying a pony nuke, or pare military group going to blow up a damn. Some guy shooting grenades and a nuclear plant.
You're descending into incoherence here.
What's a "pare military group"?
You might want to blow up a damn, but why should I give a dam?
Some guy shooting grenades is probably bad (Is he shooting at the grenades or is he launching them?)
Some guy shooting a nuclear plant is worse - it's even pretty bad if he's shooting at it.
Let's fire a hellfire missile on Rand Paul!!!
But, but, there might be collateral damage, why, he's speaking to the Senate...
Let the operation commence!

Oops.
Mali?
Obama is president of France now?
This plane is deliver[ing] military aid.
Uh, no it isn't. It's transporting French military equipment in aid of a UN authorised mission.
The US gives no aid to Mali (since the coup) and none to France.
And don't forget to put the fucking hydrogen recombiners in.
The rest of the world could have working LENR reactors [...] A real libertarian, though [...]
Unsuprisingly, someone who believes in crackpot science also believes in crackpot politics.
GTK3 is lovely. You are a twat.
Unsupported opinion is argument.
Some of these statements are true.
Anyway 13" laptop sceens are a joke for doing anything serious, 17"+ laptop screens are the One True Answer :-)
17" laptop screens are not laptop screens.
If it weighs more than 2Kg it's not a laptop.
Use a real keyboard, mouse and monitor - why do you need to look at the laptop?
Well, no.
Changing the pilot doesn't magically change a F34B into a F35C or a F35A.
Had the Spitfire not been a newer design that the German equivalent, this post might be in German
ITYM Russian.
drug rape is a myth.
Well, no it isn't.
The drug that's most often use is of course alcohol.
Why would one not include multi-megabit satellite service in the classification of "broadband?"

Well, about a billion actualy.
But you're only a few orders of magnitude out.

I live in the Paris suburbs, I'm getting 9 megabytes/s (78Mbps) down, 620 kilobytes/s (5Mbps) up. Cable with FTTLA.
What are you on, ADSL, which ISP, how far are you from the exchange? Don't they have numericable where you are?
You seem to have some anger management issues.
Oh, by the way, the French equivalent of the US interstate system is privately funded and paid for by tolls.

4) Producing electricity far away from where it is used is inefficient since transporting electricity is quite inefficient.
Whereas transporting hydrogen is easy and loss free.
