Hmmm.
So, lets see. You point to a wiki that gets its information from China. IOW, it is ONLY Chinese saying what is going on with Canada.
According to Canada's information that CIA gathered, Export to China is not even 4% as of 2010.
US 74.9%, UK 4.1% (2010)
In fact, Canada exported.5T in 2010, and of that, China was less than 10B. To be fair, that last number was in 7B 2006, but do you really think that China massively increased the imports from Canada? I seriously doubt it.
More importantly, most all that Canada exports to China is RESOURCES. Not products. China blocks that, esp. from the west.
The ignorant one would be the person ignoring facts and just making them up. That would be you.
Well, India, Vietnam, Philippines, Australia, Japan, South Korea, in fact, all of their neighbors EXCEPT for North Korea, Iran, Pakistan, and Burma would differ with you. Nothing friendly about China. Now, they DO build up economic trade with other nations, but, it is rarely friendly. Many nations are finding out that it comes with loads of strings.
As to USA's work, I could not agree more. So many nations want us to be their policeman, and I am sick of it. It needs to stop.
You mean back when we did not know what was in space, or when rockets subjected astronauts to a continuous 4Gs ?
What does our blocking them from the ISS have to do with their creating a military base in space? We showed all aspects of our launches and systems. China hides everything, just like any military would do. Their space group reports ONLY to the PLA. It would like NASA reporting to the space group of the USAF. If NASA was put under the command of the USAF, would you then consider them to be a military group, or would you say that it was done because the chinese did not want us to see their tech?
Odd that you say that. China is more walled today to western imports, while America is the worlds largest importers from all over the world.
And yet, ppl like yourself ignore the facts and scream that it is America that has the walled garden.
Just amazing. Totally ignorant and devoid of facts, but still amazing.
Economic IS peaceful, but only when the 2 economies are interdependent. Chinese leaders work hard to block Western goods, but make the west dependent on them, while building up their own economy AND military. Since China's economy has grown massively and CHina has amassed a load of dollars (us and australian) and europes, they should see their money rise relative to these money. But that is NOT the case. Likewise, in a normal economic relationship, there would be regular 2-way trade. There is not. Resources account for the vast majority of what the west trades to CHina. When something like an auto is exported there, if it is selling well, then China will put a tariff on importing that specific companies cars, until they move manufacturing there. Once it is there, they will subsidize the energy there, and then encourage the company to sell it on the global market. Just recently China put a massive tax on ALL GM cars. That is, until GM turned over the patent rights for electric cars to CHINESE GOV. IOW, GM was going to be killed from manufacturing or importing cars there, unless they allowed 100% of Chinese made cars to have free and clear access to their entire patent DB related to electric cars.
This is NOT about economic trade. This is a cold war. Sadly these 2 idiots are like the rest of the ppl that ignore facts.
Now to wait for the Chinese lobbyists that will post here as ACs claiming that I am lying.
In fact, their space stations is never to have citizens in it. It will ONLY have military personnel in it. Basically, their space station is our MOL, but they see a reason to build it, while we never built it.
Well, the problem is that the microgravity counted on the life centrifuge. When W/neo-cons canceled that, they killed one of the best uses of the ISS. That single piece would enable us to figure out how we will do on the moon and on trips to mars and elsewhere. It was stupid of that admin that they killed that.
LOL; ROFL.
We would have had a new space station up there around mid 90's. We had it designed and were starting to bend metal for it. In fact, one of the units is here in Colorado. We changed to bring on-board Russia and work with them, as well as EU. We helped EU a great deal. MOST of the modules up there were designed and launched by the shuttle. The fact is, that only the smallest modules were put up their by Russia. Likewise, we paid Russia to do this since their gov. would not do it.
Had we built this, then the neo-cons hopefully would not have gutted private space. They would have been forced to allow it to happen. Basically, we would have multiple launchers there.
And when it comes to the bulk of the equipment and supplies on their ISS, the shuttle has carried more than 3/4 of it.
Progress was sent up quartly and would take up less than 4000 KG each trip. That includes the fuel, water, etc.
OTOH, the shuttle would take up 24,000 KG each trip. We used to send up 4 a year, but it probably averaged about 3 a year due to being out. Still, just ONE shuttle takes up more cargo than all of the progress does each year.
Even now, USA has the largest lifters capable of putting up these modules, and we are getting more. By early next year, we will have a launcher that takes up DOUBLE the shuttle. Yes, the FH will take up 54,000 KG. That is more than 10 progresses in just one flight.
Actually, just with the west. They are working hard to take over the rest of the world via economic means, and when it fails, then they are using their military (right now, it is constrained to Asia, but that will change).
Oh, that is a different matter. There are always idiots in every field. Likewise, tech tends to be a younger person's field (esp. software). A number are un married so not too surprising. Others are just plain young so enjoying the view AND the attention (and yes, the babes will give attention because that is what they are paid to do).
Finally, as an ex-model, I think that it would bother them a lot more to hear that they have a terrible body or face and should not be there, then to hear that they are cute. A new project that I am working on requires me to find somebody that would make a good Mrs. Claus. I was going to use an ex-gf (the model that had gotten me into the field). She would now be late 50s (she is 5 years old). I had not seen her in 20 years, and she was balking at doing the work. Once I saw her, I understood. She grew up in Az as a sun goddess. Well, the colorado sun and weather can age a person. She was. i.e. she could not make a good Mrs. Claus. And she KNEW that should not do it.
These are short-term gigs. If they think that the outfit is too skimpy, they will not do the work. MANY others can be found that will do the job. Simple as that.
First off, I used to model back in the 70's and 80s. This behavior goes with the territory regardless if you female or male.
Secondly, at 80 -60/day (only top ones went for 160/day), that is NOT done for the money. They are doing it for one of several reasons:
1) open doors to other model/acting gigs.
2) open doors to the companies that they work for.
3) for fun.
Point is, the vast majority of the women doing this likely enjoy the attention. More importantly, they are being paid BECAUSE they are willing to do this. Gripping about this is like somebody having a decent job in which some parts of it sux and the person grips about the bad parts. In fact, from a CS POV, I would have to say that putting up with this garbage is akin to having a manager say that they want extra documentation for them to understand what you are up to with each LOC fully commented. You do it because YOU ARE PAID TO DO IT, and it is part of the job.
Look, these women are doing a job. They KNOW that it involves sexism. The clothes that they wear is more conducive to a model shoot, then to an office job. It is silly, that they grip about it. If they object, they should NOT do the job. Simple as that.
We need to have a diversified energy matrix. For example, America is using around 40% coal, and thankfully, that will be below 33% within 5 years. However, much of the replacement is Natural Gas. What is needed is for us to make coal/NG be around 33% MAX, with Nukes around 33% MAX and likewise, the various AE around 33%. By doing this, we can limit damage from any one area.
My guess is that numerous ppl wills scream that American gov. is sending guns into Venezuela causing citizens to attack, while others will claim that America is telling Chavez to pass this law so that we can invade them.
Yeah. I am sure that somebody that wants to attack the west would never be interested in getting access to our software. I mean how useful would it be for China to see where we are spending money at (note that this was about REPORTING) or being able to change the numbers so as to cause chaos within the gov. Likewise, they would never want to control our utilities, our transportation, etc.
the default setting for software created with public money should be released with source code anyhow
You American pigs need to release more of your tech and software to the world. It is wrong that you deprive us of that work. Please hand over all of your code for military operations and launch codes as well.
What do you mean that you will not do it? Well, not a problem. We will simply put backdoors into your chips, steal your code from on-line (thank you MS), put 10's of 1000's of spies in the west and even get your companies to move here and give us the patents to be able to sell back to the west with cheaper versions.
It all depends on the sat. For example our spy sats were loaded with heavy optics. And no doubt one that is double the size will have even better optics (or perhaps multiple cams). I can see bigger solar panels, more electronics.
And of course, fuel is useful.
Beyond that, being able to launch several sats at one time, is really useful.
Slashdot Mirror
As in, can anybody apply from any nation or this only for those in the nations that support ESA?
No, you have not. It is next to impossible to export GOODS to China. They want only RESOURCES. The one who is baseless is yourself.
Hmmm. .5T in 2010, and of that, China was less than 10B. To be fair, that last number was in 7B 2006, but do you really think that China massively increased the imports from Canada? I seriously doubt it.

What exactly is Communist Chinese gov. interested in? Capitalism? Really?

Give me a break. That was one time. We funded most of every other joint venture.
Actually, just with the west. They are working hard to take over the rest of the world via economic means, and when it fails, then they are using their military (right now, it is constrained to Asia, but that will change).
Oh, out of about 100 girls, it might help with 1, maybe 2, of them. Beyond that, you are 100% correct.
Oh, that is a different matter. There are always idiots in every field. Likewise, tech tends to be a younger person's field (esp. software). A number are un married so not too surprising.

Crapware.
Because we care
About our bottom line.
