But never forget that by the end of the war over half of the Bombes were being built and run in the US.
Poland figured out how to break Engima. Britain worked out how to do it on a industrial scale. The US provided a large part of the industrial effort.
And, before we get all starry eyed about Bletchley Park, don't forget the the Government cipher school became GCHQ and the American side became the NSA.
You can make jokes but she has a point...why would I give a shit about the GPL if I'm a company if I can just take the parts I want and claim fair use?
Why sould I worry about laws against murder? I can just shoot you dead and claim self defense.
I would like to see someone with a bigger brain than mine estimate the heat generated by anthropogenic friction forces. Walking, running, biking, motorcycle tires, car tires, truck tires, machine conveyor belts, train wheels, elevators, fucking pant suits...All of it. It has to have some erg value. What is is?
Also, what is the value of heat generated by all of the combustion engines in the world? Electric engines? Etc.
Could any of those items be part of the 40-50%?
Almost none.
You can immediately discount any heat released by walking, running, biking and so on all that energy comes from food, i.e. from the sun.
When you get to burning coal, gas, oil, nuclear and so on you get world energy consumption of about 18.0 terawatts (18E12 W). The surface of the earth is 510.1 million km2, i.e. 5E14 M2, so the we are consuming around 3E-2 W/M2. I.E. nothing compared to inbound solar radiation of over a killowat per M2.
When anyone starts a comment on some subject by saying "scientists haven't considered..." you know you're looking at a major case of the Dunning Kruger effect.
Of course scientists have considered [fill in your favorite theory here], that's what they spend all their time doing.
And having considered the effect of solar emissions on global climate they've discovered that current warming is not being driven by the sun.
Well, it can't push it's electricity to Germany when conditions are similar in the two places. It can push it to Sweden and Norway because they have a lot of hydro power, some of which can be run backwards.
In the past month, I booted up an Ubuntu LiveDVD out of curiousity. It took way too long to load. Once it finally loaded, I open up a terminal, and type in ps aux. A huge gigantic list comes up. Pulseaudio, avahi, udisks, consolekit, systemd, gnome-keyring, gvfs, gnome-this, gnome-that, etc, etc, etc.. What the fuck is all this shit? This is just as bad as Windows or MacOS.
[nemo@Jolla ~]$ ps aux | wc -l 280
That's on my phone. And yes, it is running Pulseaudio and systemd (but not Gnome).

Happy about boasting about that?

Hello Mr Anonymous Coward, you're replying to someone with the username "Troll".
SJW, an insult used by someone who things fighting for social justice is a bad thing.
considering usual political support i'd suggest some mid tier .gov idiot made this decision - if i was google this would piss me off.
That's gouv.fr my little American friend.
I suspect the French government is intensely relaxed about the idea of "pissing google off".
Nope, p'tit Bretagne is in France.
The groaning sound of the moving goalposts rings across the interwebs.
How many Syrian refugees have Islamic countries taken in?
About 4.4 million.
(2.7 million in Turkey, 1.5 million in Lebanon and 1.2 million in Jordan).
What was your point?
20 per cent of people living in the city of Paris are immigrants and 41.3 per cent of people under 20 have at least one immigrant parent.
Yes, but that doesn't mean they are muslims.
My children are the children of immigrants -- I'm a Brit, living in Paris.
Maybe, if you can cite reliable studies. Might also help if you could define "intelligence".
Hint, this one has nothing to do with intelligence.
Meanwhile France is running 85-94% low carbon. And has been since the 1990's. But nuclear is bad so we don't want to talk about that.

TTL is for cheapo's. Real men use ECL.

What the fuck is that? It's the future, baby.
That said, some of the obvious uses are pretty low-hanging fruit, such as detonating incoming missiles
Because missiles are well known for exploding when you hold a lighted candle to them.
I couldn't find a decent explanation that doesn't involve pages full of math.
Welcome to Quantum Mechanics.
A minor problem being that the pyramids are, to a reasonable approximation, solid. Not a lot of space to put grain.
Guaranteedly no near-extinction events.
What "near-extinction events" are you blathering on about?
After 2 near-extinction events (Chernobyl, Fukushima)
Near extinction events?
Are you fucking insane?
"cos Arianespace is totaly not a thing, ESA was closed down years ago and Darmstadt is only known for its football team.
I would also have thought that there would be simulators for most of this crap.
A KSP add-on?
