the waste produced is no more dangerous than the junk that a coal plant makes. all that is different is that it is more confined and does not affect the health of the population.... but why should we care about that?
also, you do know that the longer the waste takes to degrade, the less harmful it is, don't you?
also, if we reprocessed our waste, we could reuse it., I mean, we WANT controllable radioactive materials and reprocessing helps turn the waste into a controllable substance.
umm, actually, that whole biodesil and alcohol idea is kind of limited by that.
plants are only about 30% efficient at converting light to energy., just because some one has an idea on how to use that doe snot make it 80% efficient.
actually, no... plants are pretty poor at converting light to energy in a comparative sense. sure, they do a good enough job for themselves and the ecosystem, but they do a poor job at providing surplus energy.
another benefit of living in Singapore is the they big brother government is so effective at stopping dissent and crime it is very peaceful for those who fit the model of a good citizen.
apple still sets the Quality Assurance Standards. Quanta does not throw any old crap in the notebooks they manufacture. they have to be with in what ever statistical variance the company who orders them require. That is where the higher quality and higher prices come in.
because the growth of the market outside the US is responsible for the growth of the market in general. Yes, 3rd world countries buy super cheap PCs. that is where they are sold. in the US and western Europe, PCs sell between 700 and 1500 Dollars US.
most computer sales are in the 700 - 1500 dollar range.
and unless you are a moron and think more clock = better experience the only difference is a clock speed number that you cannot directly compare anyway because the chips are different architectures.
what I do know is that my 400 Mhz Power Mac ran smoothly while doing lots of multimedia activities while my 1.5 GHz PC ran like crap doing the same things.
you pay a fair market price for the package. when you compare it feature to feature with a PC that is built similarly the prices are almost identical... sometimes cheaper in the case of the mac.
the difference? the PC can be made to fit a user's needs so they do not have to buy something they do not need. apple has a fixed product line. so a PC CAN be (but not always is) less expensive for a user because it is configured with fewer things.

the difference is that now each part can have a huge amount of performance.
sometimes moving forward requires moving backward.
the multicoreness is not what makes it special. it is the way it uses the multicoreness for asymmetric processing that does.

umm, I would rather have "poisonous" nuclear reactors than horribly poisonous, dirty, wide spread toxic debris making Coal plants.
retard, we are getting the H2 from H2O. the next increase is H2O is ZERO!
sorry, you came of sounding sarcastic.

right, but we need to avoid the war that will inevitably take place.
actually, no... plants are pretty poor at converting light to energy in a comparative sense. sure, they do a good enough job for themselves and the ecosystem, but they do a poor job at providing surplus energy.
solar will not be viable until we can convert 80% of the light to energy.
why? because unless we have a very high energy density per panel, we will have to pave a huge amount of desert with these panels.
retard... there is more He3 on the moon than fossil fuels on earth.
now the Chinese will be racing to establish a permanent presence on the moon just so they can claim it for themselves.

Quality Assurance levels of the hardware are solely determined by the name brands.

umm, that is the average price of a PC, not the range that PCs are purchased in. are you stupid or what?
that does not negate the fact that no one buys them.
apparently so are the people who argue that 799 is to expensive.
though, those people probably have never bought a 350 dollar PC for their primary system.
hardly.

yeah... right... consider the fact that most PC sales fall in the 700 - 1500 dollar range you statistic is kind of pointless.
what you fail to notice is that most computer sales fall in the 700 - 1500 dollar range.
MOST people who buy a computer do not buy the entry level crap.
very high prices? I don't think so.

yeah because 799 is SOOOO expensive.
