In places like Denmark and Germany you get paid for the electricity that you produce in excess of what you use so it is cheaper than cheap can be. Wit a solar array on your roof you pay one rate for what you draw from the grid and they pay you about 10% less for what you supply to the grid.
Please, the silk road got taken down by complete accident. The guy had a drugs delivery break open in transit and he was raided for that and they found the server by complete accident. It was not their skill but his stupidity. Yes, they can create honeypots, just like you or I could but they cannot track you.
Piracy never was an issue. It was a missed opportunity. Just as the music industry screamed foul about Napster while iTunes quietly took their trade away the movie industry will die if it does not start providing the customer with service they want at a fair price. People can and will start making movies outside the studio. Most people are tired of the endless effects and total lack of story or content that the studios churn out and low budget good stories will start arriving in just the same way that the music industry is changing. With more competition the power of the independent will rise and the studios will do all they can to stop it but it will happen.
A country that regularly invades other country to force a change in government gets its panties in a twist over a theory that someone might have taken an interest in their election. The US does this all the time.
If you want citations go and find them, why do you expect someone else to run around for you? You are an anonymous coward with delusions. If you wish to discus the subject stop the fallacies as that is bullshit.
Is there really a difference between Russian Propaganda and US propaganda? Not really. Change the names and places and they are the same. A lot has changed and now it is the US military is doing more spying and crying. Like when they go to Kaliningrad and cry that the Russian plane buzzed them to chase them out and the same spy ship was crying about the same thing the year before in Sevastopol. The news tells people what they want to hear. That is what sells newspapers. If you were to tell people the truth they would get upset and stop buying the papers. I remember talking to a Russian friend in the 1980s, before the wall came down, and I asked him about the difference between the east and the west and he said that the main difference was that in the east they know it is propaganda.
I am a supporter of alternative fuels but currently there is no choice. It will take time to introduce choice. Electric sounds great but it is totally impractical for many people who need their car for work. Who wants to stop for 2 hours to recharge every 2 hours while on a 6 hour drive? Not everybody has a garage where they can charge their car, most people just park in the street. Petrol does have some advantages over diesel but diesel also has many advantages over petrol. Hydrogen etc. are far too new to talk about. I hope that we will continue to advance but often these moves are counter productive. Currently the best option for most people that actually do have a garage is a hybrid which still uses fuel. Diesel prolongs the life of the vehicle and is not a fire hazard which makes it a better option in a hybrid. The electric BMW i3 has a petrol generator to double the range, would that be banned? I think that these ideas are jumping the gun and we should all calm down and start taking baby steps toward a better future in order to avoid throwing the baby out with the bath water.
I used to turn to BBC for reliable news but once they became embedded during the Iraq war they never extricated themselves and are no longer a reliable news source. I turned to Al Jazeera who always reported both sides and went out of their way to help me understand the other side of the story but the US military actually targeted them and arrested them so they stopped printing the truth. There is only fake news left. I now read a variety of sources like Russia Today as well as western news and judge the truth to be somewhere in the middle of the two lies.
Reading the story it does sound like M$ are blaming Russia for their shitty work. M$ did not do a good job and as a result the product is bad. Nothing new there. A hacking group exploited the bad code. Nothing new there. For no valid reason they are linked to Russia. This is just propaganda. Of course Russia uses hackers whereas the US has whole divisions of in house hackers. The US is still the number one cyber terrorist and Russia has much less interest in the US than the US imagines. The US wants to go out and hurt everyone but the rest of the world is far more interested in enjoying their own lives. Russia is far more interested in Russia and has very little interest in the scary clown or the witch.
TOR quite simply does not work in China. I find it hard to understand why so many people here cannot see how easy it is to recognise protocols connected with TOR, VPN, Proxies, etc. and block any user that uses any forbidden protocol. None of these things work, not because they block the hubs or the addresses but because the they block the protocols.
I have always found their hardware to be of much better quality than their software. Their software is not as bad as a lot of people say but I prefer OSX etc. I have had several M$ mice and keyboards in the past and have been very happy with them.
For someone that already has XP, the cost has already been paid and there is no future cost. If you try to force such a user to upgrade they will quite understandably object. Very few people who are being coerced feel a loyalty to the person (or company) that is coercing them and would rather go down the market and get a copy...
Linux is not crap on the desktop in any way, it is crap as a games platform. Not everyone (OK the majority but still not everyone) wants to play games all the time. Some people actually want to have a reliable work platform and for that, Windows is crap.
Apart from the obvious mistake regarding the book being written prior to the medical condition in question, are you honestly suggesting that the DHS can read?
but yes, I do take your point that if it is a war, then it is still ongoing. Except that those that were not part of the war are still there as well as the soldiers that we lied to.
The Taliban, the government that we overthrew, still have offices, still exist, are still there to talk to, and will take over again as soon as we leave, and we will leave one day. There is no option. I do not like to get into these discussions because I do not like to defend the Taliban. I oppose all they stand for but we invaded their country and they defended bravely. I hope that I would be as brave if my country was invaded. We then dropped leaflets that said "if you surrender, you will be sent home". And those that were stupid enough to surrender were sent to Guantanamo along with lots of other poor unfortunates who got sold out because the CIA offered bounties to anyone that could inform on a terrorist, so every bent policeman in Yemen and Pakistan etc. gave the name of someone they did not like and received $1000.
You are right, and meanwhile China is pushing solar power all the way and if the US does not move fast China will be the winner (again) and the US will be the loser.

Nothing disappeared, it is just moving to new premises.

He writes a good point with reasons and you offer no justification whatsoever for your comment. It is you that sounds scared, not him.

They won enough to get in the best situation to get a favourable settlement. They were never going to win.
They are allowed to become president...

Yes, I speak English, the problem is that I do not understand all that bollox.
but yes, I do take your point that if it is a war, then it is still ongoing. Except that those that were not part of the war are still there as well as the soldiers that we lied to.

So this is a charity event? We let China win so that they can breathe more easily...
Have you installed TOR on a winders box recently? It is not complicated and certainly does not need a geek to help you.
