No. There are not good reasons to restrict certain things, like concrete or food or medicine. Israel is committing ethnic cleansing and running a ghetto. They are in the wrong, period.
The problem is that Israel does not allow the Palestinians to make anything at all. They have a controlled border, they can't even import concrete to repair the buildings that Israel has blown up.
I am not talking about a handful of pv panels on peoples roofs. I am talking about hundreds of square miles of solar concentrators producing a major percentage of US energy demands (> 30%).
Outside the the south west putting up large scale solar thermal power systems will involve cutting down forests, building over farmland, or having the blindingly bright solar collectors within sight of population centers.
There was a time when an operating system cost 6 figures retail. And there are multiple projects that cost upwards of a half billion dollars to implement. I have worked on titanic projects like that.
AutoCAD? The others? No where near that complexity.
They are more complex than video games, but not that many orders of magnitude more so.
Neither. Most people use CAD as a simple modeling package most of the time. Even an architect can get away with doing most of his mockups in such an environment. Only the technical work and blueprints need to be done in a real CAD program.
If there are enough of you, it won't take your lifetime. That is the benefit of open source development, you get to share the effort with hundreds or thousands of other people interested in solving the same problem.
Statistics is a field strongly overlapping with programming. Everyone with a programming degree learns basic to moderate statistics. Most people with a statistics degree learn basic to moderate programming.
You can write an open source CAD program in your free time, just like everyone else writes their open source projects in their free time regardless of their highly payed professional work. That is not a defect of open source software, that is a defect of the people like you who are willing to put in the effort to have it.
The number of sites where you can build dam-less hydro plants are extremely limited and do not reflect the actuality of hydro power, nor the idea that it can be expanded in use. Expanding hydro power in use requires more damned dams, not less.
Sketchup and similar modeling software is already more than adequate for the amateur tinkerer doing home remodeling.
AutoCAD is only truly required when you need to perform a cost of materials estimate for a complex commercial building, or model the loads and strengths of materials for supporting heavy structures.
Its an extremely limited technical market. One that does not strongly overlap with programming. Open source OS's exist because programmers use OS's. Open source development environments exist because developers use IDE's. Open source games exist because developers play games.
Open source solutions will exist as soon as YOU and your fellow architects/engineers make them, that is no different than any other field.
Better than the french we can use next generation feeder breeder reactors to eliminate the already minimal transportation and mechanical processing risks.
Hydro is abismal, it destroys millions of acres of land with flooding and disrupts the river ecosystem. Migratory freshwater fish all around the world are rapidly facing extinction because of hydro power.
Geothermal is not infinitely renewable, heat sources can be and are being depleted, and there is evidence that it can cause earthquakes.
Solar thermal is great if you have the right environment for it, but outside the southwest, nuclear is still the better option.
Don't forget that every year the coal industry in the US pumps out more radioactive material than has ever been released from US nuclear power plants, even if you include the 3 mile island minor incident.
Most "CAD" usage can be done in sketchup or similar software available on linux. You only need autocad and the other heavy hitters if you are doing more analytical work.
I do unix development (enterprise web applications for the DoD), but I am forced to suffer through the use of windows by my IT department because they can't take up 4.5 gigs of ram (on a machine that has only 4 gigs of ram) on their spyware and virus scans if I was using any other OS. On linux or unix, they wouldn't be able make my JVM fail to start due to not enough memory, or delete my JDK because they wanted to update java to a version later than the one required by the god damn government contract, and they would be able to block my access so easily to code documentation sites, because fuck being able to look anything up.
Funny, I tend to blame autocrats, conservatives and republicans (and the mini-republicans in the democratic party) for this state of affairs.
That comes from a strict reading of the constitution as an enumeration of the peoples rights, in violation of the spirit of the document. Which is something that conservatives LOVE to do.

of course not, by the time they get to the computer in the sex dungeon, they know what kind of stuff I am into.

Are you saying the infrastructure to distribute WATER will need to be built? That water is not something that is commonly widely distributed already?
And that is part of what this device attempts to answer.
The readings are consistent with the WIMP theory of dark matter.
And? Everyone knows that fox news lies.

Norway can only build hydro everywhere if they are willing to end their entire river ecosystem.

We need more nuclear and more solar power.

Funny, I tend to blame autocrats, conservatives and republicans...
Implying there are no liberal autocrats, which is clearly not true.
Implying that the vast majority of autocrats are liberal, which is clearly not true.
There are a few, but they are predominately conservative.
And this is part of why I am against most forms of gun control, even though I am an elite liberal socialist.
Background checks in most cases are acceptable and useful in promoting responsible gun ownership without significantly affecting law abiding citizens.
The various bans and restrictions based on combinations of firearms features are not acceptable and useful in promoting responsible gun ownership.

The VAST majority of denied background checks are a result of typo's or out of date records.
I pirated GoT. I also bought a copy of season 1 and season 2 on blue ray afterwards. Season 1 shortly afterwards and season 2 just recently.
I will likely pirate season 3 because they won't release it concurrently with the showing, and buy it later.
Not if you lower your standards far enough.
