if you add the fuel you need to get the radioactive material to your calculation it looks no longer like such a clean solution
you need energy to build the plant ( concret uses a coal to produce ) and you have to dispose it after a few years ( not just the nuclear waste )
for me it is an open question who pays for the disposal of the plant this if the company operating it can't.
you cant work while you take phone-calls
you drain your cell battery if you work for 3 or 4 hours
you have to set the shit up
with windows sometime it works then you reboot and it wont
big issue if you work for 20 or 30 min in a train and you have to spend 5 minutes to see it failed then another 5 to fix it
i use a globetrotter umts / gprs / wlan card which is sold by the phone carriers with their logo on it
it works with windows and linux i got no powerbook so i dont know about mac
the windows software is sometimes pain in the ass because
if you work in train it often hangs up the connection because it cant decide which antenna to take and it take so long to connect that the next antenna already is stronger and it has to break up and start all over again
linux is much smoother because it doesn't break the connection at all ( normally) so it won't have to re-negotiate the connection and get a new IP address and all this stuff
and a special data plan or a second sim should not be an issue here in switzerland
about 20 $ a month with the card included and 1GB Traffic or 7 $ a month for second sim card
from your link:
Problems include the high cost of fuel fabrication due partly to the high radioactivity of 233U which is a result of its
contamination with traces of the short-lived 232U; the similar problems in recycling thorium due to highly radioactive 228Th; some weapons proliferation risk of 233U; and the technical problems (not yet satisfactorily solved) in
reprocessing. Much development work is still required before the thorium fuel cycle can be
commercialised, and the effort required seems unlikely while
(or where) abundant uranium is available.
india already has nukes
they are already enriching their own uranium
they have not signed the anti nuke contract ( what ever it is called )
that just means they will have more uranium
the american stuff they will use civil but all the other stuff they have can go into nuke production
i don't know if they think they need more nukes, or if they would be ready to sell stuff to the right price
but more nukes means it's just more likely they will get in the wrong hands and will be used some time
bush is just trying to keep oil and other fossil fuels cheap with encouraging india to use nuclear power to satisfy their increasing energy need
it is just typical american foreign policy: keep supporting the not so clean guy and somewhere in the future you will have a break with him and he gets your new big problem
No.
Domain parking should be forbidden.
that would solve that shit much cleaner.
omg they shit their pants, we have to do the same because managers believe in pantshitting ( what ever:p)
So you have no issues with Iran building new reactors? I'm personally quite puzzled to hear in the news that Australia is looking to sell Uranium to India and China, and practically in the same breath decrying Iran's extension of their nuclear fuel processing plant.
they have one big problem
the software
random lockups, hardresets or they even stop accepting phone calls without any indication
so the user has no idea that he is or has been missing calls.. and this at least once at week
sometimes sms are just lost
this is true for all qtek models from with windows mobile for pocket pc from qtek 1010 up to 9100
there are slight variations with diffrent rom versions
i know what i talk about...
the company i work for has about 500 Qtek 9090 deployed
i have ( and sometimes even use ) a qtek 9000 with a nice 640x480 screen
it is nice for internet or email, the keys are big enough to type quite easy
sure IE lacks features and stuff but with a "real" browser it is really nice with its screen size
the only benefit to use it as phone is: in our it department if you miss a call you can just blame the qtek because all know of the problems of the device
Apple is not not using PowerPC because it is to slow
At least not for desktop
the problem is the lack of decent mobile chips
IBM is quite focused on Server/Workstation/Console market with their chips
While those chips shouldn't need power-plants to run, their energy consumption and
heat generation is not as crucial as with mobile devices as laptops and stuff
at the moment and in near future the laptop market is way faster growing then desktop market
apple with their lifestyle products ( not negative ) has to keep up with this trend
and i cant imagine how they should keep up without faster and cooler mobile cpu's
i did not write off PowerPC for apple workstations altogether
in my humble opinion apple has to continue both system lines for quite a while
in order to get a smooth transition without hurting too many customers
during this time apple has still a leg in the PowerPC market and
could take up future advancements of the PowerPC line without to much damage
maybe IBM has to drive their Cell stuff to a decent mobile CPU as soon as Microsoft wants to release a xbox mobile

there is no need to ever store your programs or your media anymore, right?
yeah and 640kb ram ought to be enough for anyone
different problems need different tools
the day managers get that, there will be a big load of unemployeed peoples from marketing departments
The real problem is that they have no on the go music download from itunes music store
that would have made it unique
now it is just mobile with mp3 player
maybe with a cool interface and sync options but still just a mp3 player
if the download price (2 - 4 $ per song) had been ok there would finally be a killer app for G3
if they try to steal the whole program they could be caught
but i don't know how you could hope to detect a few 100 lines of sourcecode which is integrated in a much larger program?
they could change some stuff, mingle it with their own source and nobody will ever know if he can't look at the source
maybe you could find it out with bugs which affect the programs in the same way or something
but i think it woud be quite an effort needed to prove they stole something
and to prove it you would have to know which program to check
i think you could split it up
what use is the physic engine without the storyline and the content??
if you consider that anyone had to release a game made with the physic engine also gpl
i think it would more be a problem to clearly seperate the engine from the content
maybe you had to release the game content also as gpl
the problem is that other companys could steal parts of your code and reuse it as in their closed source stuff without you knowing
so what?
the gym has the same 8 hours open as you work
then you are quite fucked up
or should the gym open for a longer time?
maybe 24/7?
then the poor guy at the gym would have to work 24/7 so that everyone can come when he likes to?
maybe not... but are you willing to pay 3 times as much so they can work in shifts??
syncronisation of mankind is very important
how will you have social contact when everybody works as he likes there will be no after work beer with most of your mates because they work diffrent schedules, no time with your girlfriend except you are lucky enough to be able to schedule your working day
about everything would fall appart
but if you like to be a social hermit you can do shift-work
the main use of DST is to give you more time with sunlight in one piece
where i live i get about 6 hours of daylight after work in the summer and about 4 hours in the morning
you think
your grandmother has to learn the things she wants to do anyway
and it is not harder to write a letter or email and to surf the web with linux than with windows
it might be a bit of trouble to install but i don't think your grandma will install windows by her self
but a windows sysadmin comes with his windows knowledge and thinks he knows how things are supposed to work
he may be able to learn or not
but it is not easy to bring a company with windows to use linux if they had to hire additional peoples which know linux
i ask again why should i show any more respect to the pope then i do towards any other human being
i respect people because of what they do, not because what they are called
if you tell the people that it is forbidden to use condoms it is just evil
he lets his believers croak at aids
there are countrys where half of the adult population will die of aids in a few years if the rate of infection stays the same
thats right
i talk about shit i don't know
but my point is still valid
because the ISS is at about 360 km
and the spaceshipone can only reach about 112 km
and this only for a very short time flight time about 20 minutes compared to weeks for the spaceshuttle
so it is a bit early to call out the end of non-commercial space flight
more than likely the last non-commercial manned mission into space
this is a little bit american centric
i am sure there will be several non-commercial missions from russia or china and maybe even from japan before virigin Galactic gets there again
btw to compare those jumps into the space with a shuttle misson is some kind of stupid
or where will you store those 15 tons of load a shuttle can take up there
and there is quite a diffrence between a jump out into the space like virigin does it and a geostationary orbit like the shuttle does
why should i show respect?
i'm a atheist
he has very dangerous opinions on important things like aids and prevention
imho those stances are inhuman if you consider what is happening in the developing countrys
by the evil look i did not think about his nazi background (if you even can call it so=)
i just meant how he looks
the impression i got was that of a nasty old man when i saw the first pictures of him.
btw
my great-grandfather went to a kz becaus he refused the military service
so don't talk about deserting in the few last month or days of war as a heroic deed
at this stage of war deserting was the common thing..
to privatize the space flight means that somebody has to make profit from it
space flight is a high risk business and normaly high risk means very high profit
i think the NASA has a huge problem in form of lack of innovation
they just lack of a replacement for their old shuttle
i think the shuttle was never intended to fly for so many years
and if there where a replacment in time there would have been 1 or 2 accidents with the shuttle and it could still be called a success
