All OSs have major intelligence value. The vast majority of laptops in the west run Windows or Apple.
OTOH, around the world, Windows represents less than 33% of all servers, which makes them a minority. Why would anybody target this 33%, but leave the other 66% which runs on larger sites? Because Windows is EASY to crack. Simple as that.
They did NOT say to abandon AE. They said that just as certain that global warming is occurring, that it is impossible to solve with only renewables. And considering that the human population increases, as does its demand for more energy, it is obviously impossible to grow AE fast or economical enough.
Nukes really have to be added to the mix. Not large ones, but small ones similar to what Babcock has with mpower.
Assuming that NSA/GCHQ are behind this, then they will be targeting what they can and what ppl run. More than 1/3 of the servers in the world are Linux alone. Heck, Russian AND Chinese gov. has moved pretty hard to Linux. The fact that NSA/GCHQ has NOT written to that, indicates that they are going after the easy thing.
Sienmans was using windows for that. Of course, NSA/Israel targetted it. BUT, that is a SITE SPECIFIC set-up. When you have a foreign nation that makes heavy use of Linux, then you should be targeting it. Instead, NSA/GCHQ targeted windows because it is easy.
Yes and no. Many of the garages in USA only have 120 V/15 A. That is not enough to charge a real electric car.
What is needed is a MINIMUM of 240V/30 A, if not 50A. That way, the cars can fully charge in the middle of the night all over.
which is why America is socialist, and the fact that most of this was found in Russia and the middle east. I mean that later would have nothing to do with going after terrorists, would it?
I see an AC that posted pointing fingers, but this still does not have any fingers on it. All that it has is snowden making claims, but with zero proof behind it.
So many ppl come here and post that Windows is not only safe, but that it is targeted because of numbers. Yet, it is obvious that NSA and GCHQ targeted Windows. Why? I doubt that it was numbers, but ease of cracking.
So, in the meantime, how many companies will start switching to *nix?
CO2 will continue to rise as long as we stay with per capita normalization, which is based on estimates in nations like China and India, combined with ignoring nations like China and India.
The fact is, that CO2 emissions is NOT tied to ppl, but GDP. As such, normalization needs to be based on emissions per GDP.
In addition, many nations love to cheat on information about estimates. What is needed is a single means of measuring all over the world. That is what OCO2 will bring us. It can measure CO2 flowing IN and OUT of a nation.
The best solution is for nations to put a tax on consumed goods predicated on where the parts come from and the amount of CO2 / GDP from the worst nations. In this fashion, it rewards nations that lower theirs (or stays low), while punishing those that are too high.
they both push their fucking crap on my kids. They come in through the TV, through slick ads;
Nope. Both are about as fucking evil as you will find in toys. I am waiting for lead and arsenic to show up in the legos.
Yeah, an ICBM, the R7, from the 60 probably did costs 1 million.
OTOH, the Soyuz (technically, a member of the R7 family, but with little in common), does NOT costs 1 million. The NK-33, alone, costs about $1.5 million, with Soyuz knowing that it costs 20 million for the core. The launch is around 50 million.
The current CEO is one of the GE-Welch clones. Just like Chrysler, Home Depot, GE, and IBM were destroyed by Welch other clones (Nardelli, Palmisano, Immelt ) , McNerney is following the same path and destroying Boeing.
Not only has McNerney parted out the 787, but he has sold off major divisions that allowed Boeing to have solid inexpensive equipment. They outsourced their admin to Russia, which is about to backfire on them.
And a number of parts that were made in America to keep the costs of military equipment cheap, is now being sent to China, Europe, and Japan.
Mostly a great post, but to be fair, Elon did NOT have the resources. He invested only about a 100 million into this. Basically, he started this with less money than Boeing, L-Mart and ULA spend on lobbying each year.
So no, it was not having massive resources. It was just smart investments and not thinking about this like an MBA.
They do in fact design and build rockets. Far more than you are obviously aware of. Just like few ppl realize that the west has 3 space stations in orbit.
However, all of the rockets that NASA builds are prototypes and are not designed for production. Basically, it is trying to move art into science and then into engineering.
I should mod you down, but I have to speak up.
First off, Musk had this in mind back in 2002 when he started this. IOW, he has 12 years into it.
Secondly, Musk HAS SPENT BILLIONS on this. Some of his money. Some of others. Some of NASA. Some of future contracts. All in all, he has spent billions to get to this point.
Third, NASA builds prototypes, but all of the rest is done by private companies, otherwise known as PRIVATE SPACE.
Chad, what I find interesting is that ALL OF NEW PRIVATE SPACE will tell you that they NEED NASA. Why? Because NASA knows this stuff inside and out. Heck, Elon did F1 on his own all the way through to his first launch. Remember how that turned out? SPECTACULAR.
After that, he swallowed his pride and worked closely with NASA and their QA. And while F1 underwent a re-design, what really changed was that SpaceX learned how to do decent QA. They put into place repeatable processes.
So, while you can continue to knock SpaceX, bear in mind that Musk, top ppl from SpaceX, Bigelow, top ppl from BA, Bezos, top ppl from BO, Ozmen, top ppl of SNC, will all tell you that they cound heavily on NASA. And they will tell you that they count on NASA for experience and help far more, than on their money.
It is long past time to put aside your politics and focus on facts.
They and lego are 2 of the most evil companies in the toy industry.
I can not stand either one and CRINGE every time that one of my kids want something from them.
H1B is about giving a company a slave. These ppl are basically unable to shift to a different company until they get a green card. As such, companies pay these ppl well below average, and then block the green cards.
BUT, if we change how we do green cards and go back to priority for those that we need, as opposed to saying that somebody has family here (which rarely helps), then we bring good ppl here that will work hard and be allowed to participate in real competition.
Robots are lot cheaper than you think.
And automation is what made America great. Sadly, since reagan, we have allowed illegals to replace our efforts at automation even though in just about every case, it is much cheaper.

Here are all 13 h2 fueling in America. .
Here are more than 8700 electric stations in America which does not include RVs
That is why Tesla is going to win out on this.
Hell, Tesla offers 130 stations in the US, that allows tesla owners to charge for free.
And within several years, you can swap out the battery pack in less time and cheaper than H2.
They market their crap via TV shows. Total BS.

cheesybagel already said it.
Ppl miss the fact that 2 prototypes are up there still running around.

Any Dragon capsule will still splash down in the ocean. The barge will be used to land the, now fuel empty, first stage rocket.
For now, you are right.
For the first powered landing of the Dragon2 from space, I am guessing that Musk will use the barge.

Actually, that was the case of Hubble. NASA paid for the first one, and the second generation of it went to NRO.

Do those other proposed locations also have access to cheap labour / child labour / slave labour?
No. Robotics with cheap electricity. MUCH cheaper, and safer.
Yeah, and the fact that Nestle, a European company, is also carping about it, means nothing.
