Because they are two different things mostly. Also in most cases if a witness claims 5th amendment right to silence how, without violating the 5th, can you know whether or not their testimony would reveal some crime on their part or not. Barring a very solid grant immunity from ANY crime their own said testimony may reveal you can't and so the same right effectively applies.
Also many jurisdictions do protect the sources of reporters given the valuable service of exposing to the public corruption and such in high places they could not provide as easily without it.
Both of those have much higher regulatory costs than their subsidies, though my understanding is that coal is a better proposition that way.
Which is sad because nuclear with modern designs is far better than solar or coal. Coal actually puts more radiation in the environment and solar produces a lot more toxic waste compared to many designs that effectively recycle their nuclear waste down to a tiny fraction of older designs.
It was sooner than twenty years ago, probably close to 8-10 IIRC. I looked into it because my dad asked me to as he was thinking about putting solar on his roof. At the time they were still not (as a practical matter based on the real world, not a panels theoretical output under ideal conditions) not there. Theoretically in ideal conditions they were close, something like 95% if you used sun tracking near the equator with defect free cells that never degraded faster than expected and never had any cloud cover. We found he could spend about 6500 to save about 7800 over 10 years if he got all the tax breaks and bought the cheapest reputable brand he could and did all the installation himself. Or he could put in a 4 hours overtime a week for 3 months and make more. The horrible toxic wastes that making the cells generate were just salt on the wound for him.
Actually they cost more than that. But many governments subsidize their production and/or purchase by the end user.
If they really have gotten significantly cheaper (actual costs, not post subsidy) than they produce over their lifetime in the last few years I've missed it (not really looked into it in abt 5 years).
So a typo invalidates the whole statements meaning, especial one so obvious in intent? Based on your lack of reasoning skills I'm just going to write you off period.
No. I mean the amount of energy it takes for a solar cell to be made is more than it will produce in it's lifetime.
It's pretty obvious what I meant. If not sorry.
It'll be a while, it currently take more energy to make a solar panel than it can generate in it's lifespan and costs more than coal or nuclear without the subsidies. And that's not even counting that solar panel production has so much toxic waste associated that it's one of the worst. That said I do like the potential if we ever find a way to make solar cleaner and cost effective without government (tax payers) money artificially sustaining what would otherwise be an economic failure.
It can, only problem is last time I checked (a few years ago though) it took about 6 TW of energy to produce solar cells that could deliver that much energy. It also produced more and more highly toxic waste than the same in coal which in turn produces more radioactive contamination than nuclear, which in modern designs is even better and much safer.
The problem is that overclocking is small minority of systems out there, and even then a large percentage are not as competent as you sound, but just following someone else's instructions more or less blindly.
There are plenty of clever things that can be done to mitigate the resolution issue. One of course is higher resolution. I recall a 3d simulator at an arcade decades ago that did just fine with much lower resolution.
For example look up some of the fake 120hz schemes in use (I think true motion 120 is one of them). Another is of course the quality of the display units themselves, as well as any associated optics. 4k and 8k (esp. per eye!) would be great. But I think we're a bit off from single card solutions to drive that in 3d games. 4way sli/crossfire with the latest dual gpu cards and lots of fast ram could probably do it though.
I've seen women, genetically and mentally, who looked liked guys in drag. And guys who probably would have looked better in drag.
So yeah the system can fail.
Also the fake sugars in diet soda are bad for brain function (can cause add like symptoms) and can trick you body into thinking it needs to store up energy. Diet sodas can actually cause you to gain weight.
A bug report that doesn't provide hardware configuration is in many circumstances less useful than one that does. bug reports that just say "it crashed when i did clicked on pretty icon" are useless, and should be ditched anyway. I'm more than familiar with the binning process, I even explained it to somewhere else in this article.
Just because many (almost all after long enough) are binned below their actual limit doesn't mean they all are, and I've yet to see a part labeled 3.3 binned down to make more $$.
The simple truth is you can't trust a software failure isn't caused by hardware as it is and adding in the uncertain joe random creates by oc'ing (many people oc the same way script kiddies hack) makes chasing those "bugs" down not worth the time you could be spending on tracking down real bugs.
And if you think the only thing that can go wrong with an oc is heat, you're exactly the sort of person who's likely to introduce a subtle issue and blame it on the software. For reference I started modding C=64 when they were in their heyday. I've etched my own boards, soldered ram chips (not the current memory board we use in pc's now, actual DIP dram chips) and have my current cpu water cooled at stock speeds for stability.
Not entirely, or even mostly on mature designs on mature processes. Towards the end of a chip line nearly all chips are fully capable of the fastest setting.
But few people will pay full price for the highest speeds and will pay less for slower so they deliberately set the speeds on some chips slower to optimize how many they sell at each price point and get the most $$.
Look around at local stores that sell pre-made pc's, the ones most people buy for home. The cheaper units are mostly AMD and most people buy the cheapest that works. A few buy to show off, but show off on things like monitor size or fancy wording or brand name.
Neither care about specs important to most slashdoters.
Yes, people who OC should NOT send in bug reports except to the processor manufacture and should give detailed reports of their OC in that case.
I've seen lots of weird bugs vanish when even "factory overclocked" parts are put back at stock settings.
If I were you I'd post no bug reports if you oc anything policy.
And I'd go through you bug reports and lable anything from an oc'r as "bug possible oc failure, will not investigate, closed".
It's like someone who hot-rods his car screaming at shell about their gas because their car only gets 10mpg.

The toxic byproducts of solar are pretty bad as well, further lessening their value and "green" cred.
