unforseen externalities

externalities have been to seen to be mostly paid for in advance through the elaborate safety systems in non-Soviet plants.
Until one of those elaborate, non-Soviet plants survives a destructive earthquake, attack, or other disaster, I don't think we will be able to quantify that at all.
People who know how to make use of those obviously future trend technologies will therefore be more intelligent than those who do not, which means just simply trying puts us in touch with a superior class of people.
Please note I have excluded fission from the list of renewables because I am unconvinced that the waste disposal costs are properly actuarialized. I remain open to arguments on that subject.
You can say that again. I'd rather have one TPF than twenty manned Mars missions.
I wish NASA and he ESA would put the TPF up a few notches on the priority list.
Spending the next hundred years designing a generation starship would be a much better use of time, fuel, money, and the urge to explore that really drives the space program than spending the next ten thousand years in an attempt to terraform Mars.
Okay, it obviously is running Win32 and Linux both, but which is under which?
Concerning the review, why was there no mention of CPU clock speed, memory wait states, cache size, RAM, or any of the other statistics that any self-respecting geek would require?
This looks like just another Win32 brick with either WINE or a dual config, and the reviewer told me nothing about what it is actually capable of.
The upside is that if these bacteria can be engineered to also make a nutritious snack, then we can solve both global warming and the hunger problem at the same time.
Go green plants! Go genetic biologists! The ice shelf, like our time here, is wasting away.
If it weren't for the fact that felt-tip pens, through the most hilarious twist of fate in a long time, have been outlawed as circumvention devices by the DMCA, then there would be little chance of exposing the absurdity and abject unconstitutionality of the DMCA to nontechnical men and women on the street -- and in the jury box.
As of last week, this was too close to call. Now the DMCA doesn't have a chance.
Thank you, Sony, for the copy protection scheme that outlawed the sharpie! Humanity can not thank you enough for the amount of wasted time you've saved. Somewhere on Sony's recently pensioned retirement roles I just know there is some Japanese engineer chuckling silently to himself. Too bad he can't tell his countrymen how he saved the U.S. from the corporate media monopolies.

I prefer fission to coal, but just barely.
I forgot to list geothermal, since you asked.
Yes, because all we need to do is continue the historical trend of fewer carbon atoms per fuel molecule, i.e., use hydrogen for storage and transportation, and renewable sources such as wind, water, solar, and possibly codeposition.

I'd rather have dozens of windmills in my backyard than a fusion pile. They're called piles for a good reason.
Codeposition fluidized bed electrodes, though, I wouldn't mind.

Step one: purchase a UT-203 from Ectaco
Step two: find out which SF convention(s) Linda Park is booked at.
Step three: get a friend with a video camera.
Step four: hope you're the first in the autograph line to pull this stunt, but try to be gracious if she already has more than she can use.
Step five: Suggest ThinkGeek carry these things, if she likes it.
Best wishes,
James
When carbon dioxide concentration can be predicted with 98% accuracy using a four-variable sigmoid curve you know you had better at least look in to alternatives.

A St. Petersberg company called Ectaco has already done this for bidirectional English-Russian handheld speech-to-speech translation. They call their stuff "Universal Translators" too.

Most people don't know that we teeter on the edge of a venusian feedback cycle, with cloudcover contributing to the problem, not countering it.
