The real question is, what is your point? Mine was that Iran should not be allowed to get the bomb. They have already shown that they butchering their own ppl. Considering that the top leaders consider all else to be animals, I do not think that we should allow them have such a weapon.
Yeah, I have to say, that I have little issue with another western nation owning such resources (though I would prefer it remain local if it was in my area), HOWEVER, when you have a nation that ignores all of their treaties and is waging the equivalence of NATIONAL economic war, then it makes ZERO sense to allow them to own that.
Chinese Gov. is in a cold war with the west. Right now, it is about getting as much information AND tech as possible. It is time to move western nation govs on to a seperate network, and then create another network or two within EACH nation in which vital resources (power plants, trains, planes, etc) are on that. It is not enough to be a VPN. It must be a PHYSICALLY seperated network. Ideally, we will go back to building our own switches/routers for at least this area.
Seriously, they sell this stuff here and KNOW that those that bought this chinese junk, will be forced to buy it again within another 2 years.
Totally sick.
The X47 is good, but the X-48 has many uses. Interestingly, the X-47 is similar to X-48. Hopefully, we can speed up X-48 by using the same electronics for testing purposes.
This is just one of multiple attempts by ESA to get NASA to fund their work. In addition, is one of the few American space companies that makes NOTHING when it comes to launch vehicles. They are pretty much a worthless company in that arena.
I would much rather see NASA, COTS, etc. be awarded to American companies that produce the majority of the work in America. That would be SpaceX, Boeing, and even SNC's Dream Chaser, which will launch on Delta, Atlas and F9H. My guess is that those 3 will be the big winners in the human launch systems.
These offshore wind projects should be where you have large amounts of industry combined with ppl. That would be the great lakes. It would be useful for Mich, Wis, Ohio, Indiana, Penn, and NY to gain CHEAP energy from this.
That is a mistake. Wind is direct conversion, while solar thermal is about, well, thermal systems. IOW, you do not have a hybrid system.
Instead, you want to pair Solar Thermal with either Geo-thermal OR coal OR natural gas. All of those can be built as hybrid systems. In addition, it makes Good sense to do that. I would love to see geo-thermal paired with solar thermal. The reason is that geo-thermal DO degrade with time. After all, you are taking heat from the earth. However, the way to solve that, is to pair it with solar thermal and then you can drive a generator via steam.
Likewise, Coal, or better Natural Gas, paired with Solar DOES make sense. That way the plant has a known amount of output and the solar simply lowers the costs.
As to the real solution for wind (and solar PV), we NEED storage.
I am amazed that Obama/Dems have not re-worked subsidies to solve America's energy issues. During a good work-up, it would need to include energy storage. Batteries perhaps, but better yet, would be some hydro and loads of thermal.
You are total evidence that idiots exist on BOTH sides of the coin.
As others pointed out the bird thing is pretty much a none issue. That is esp. true way off the cost line.
In addition, pebble bed has not taken off because it is not really that economical. There are better designs coming down the road. Personally, I am tired of those 10-20 GW size reactor. Instead, I think that the small 50-100 MW reactors are going to be the big winner over the next 10 years. The reason is that a number of VERY OLD coal plants close to cities are that size. So, we multiple companies that have designs out there getting their approval. These will likely start replacing those old plants in the next 5 years.
Finally, it is foolish for us to push exactly ONE or TWO techs. What America needs is NOT one all encompassing tech, but a plethora of techs. WHen it comes to nukes, I like the idea of small reactors that are on a thorium cycle, along with some large IFRS. WHy? Because we need to burn up the partially used nuclear fuel. And thorium cycle ends with similar end-products, only less of them.
I am sorry to hear that. Your ex sounds similar. Most states of America ARE back-ass wards on this issue. I would have to say that prior to my experience I would have wondered if you were exaggerating. Now, I know better. There really are a lot of twisted women out there who want to do as much damage as they can in this world, rather than simple enjoying life and learning to get along.
I knew her for 15 years. I also knew that she was bi-polar. HOWEVER, she was on lithium and doing just fine.
Then lo and behold, she was pregnant with our daughter.
So, I did the right thing (for somebody in their 40's, that was the right thing; I would not recommend it now).
Sadly, she went off the lithium and became NASTY to ppl. I could not stand it. So I started the divorce.
Hopefully, that will solve your desire to judge so quickly without having a single clue of what you talk about. But I doubt it. It will probably take you another 30-50 years to mature.
If I could, I would mod you up.
During a 1 year marriage, I started a divorce because she was just plain mean. During that time, I met another women, fell for her and we started up. After 2 years of divorce and giving my ex everything, my ex then started threatening my unborn son, my ultimate wife, and even the dogs that my ex said that she had wanted. And her demands in court was that she wanted my to pay double the child support that I was paying (1400), alimony of 2000 and her lawyer bill.
Upon telling my lawyer and police about the numerous threats, they laughed it off. Yet, my ex had dropped doing her lithium, had attempted suicide multiple times in her life, and had threatened other ppl.
And yet, I could not get the cops or my lawyer to tune in.
EELV was based on competition, so there is absolutely nothing new. The premise of EELV is that L-Mart and Boeing were suppose to do launches as services.
Actually, that was kerry that pushed it against Clinton's wishes. Sadly, Clinton gave in on this one (and allow the neo-cons to do major damage to NASA).
However, I note the fact that you seem to forget that neo-cons ran congress and the WH for 6 long years (and actually, it was neo-con congress that was in control during most of CLinton's time).
So, if Clinton and dems are responsible for all of this damage, when then nothing being mentioned about the fact that W/neo-cons pretty much did nothing, but pay it lip service?
I will give Clinton praise for having balanced the budget, and Poppa Bush for having put us on the right path scientifically.
But I think that it is more than fair to point to reagan gutting our science program while running up monster peace time debt and W for gutting everything, paying lip service to everything and then making reagan look positively choir boy in his endeavorers to run America into the ground.
Slow death starting with reagan and culminating with W.
Consider the destruction that those 2 idiots did to America, it is going to take a lot more than one president who so far is difficult to figure out if he is helping or hurting.
Seriously, start your own and run it the way that it SHOULD be ran. That is the only solution for this nightmare that has us in a vice. Basically, between politicians, sales, Marketing, and Accounting, we are witnessing the wholesale destruction of America. The way out, is to fire up our own companies and get Americans to buy those products while re-building manufacturing.
I have been trying to get Shea in Highlands Ranch to name new streets after top teachers, scientists, and engineers. I have written and suggested that 'I live at the corner of Watson and Crick' has a cool sounds to it. How about I live on Einstein Way? Or how about "Hawkin's String"?
Not a thing from them.
America needs to start small and work back up to regain this. But by naming roads after scientist and Engineers, we do not just honor these ppl. Instead, we will see children looking up the meaning of the roads on the net and finding out about these legendary individuals.
I agree. They are are trying hard to refocus the argument from equality of suppliers to equality of consumers. Totally different issues.
Sadly, ppl read the words 'net neutrality', but disregard what is said.
Slashdot Mirror
America will not. The problem is that CHina is obviously gearing up for a war with the west.
Fox has MANY more articles that are worse then this one. You just have to drop about 40 IQ and then learn to read/watch them.
How soon before we see this on a Chinese ship?
The real question is, what is your point? Mine was that Iran should not be allowed to get the bomb. They have already shown that they butchering their own ppl. Considering that the top leaders consider all else to be animals, I do not think that we should allow them have such a weapon.
Odd. Did I speak up for Israel?

If you like, we can allow Iran to test out their new toy on your house.

Only if coming from Exxon or China.

A well deserved rest. That man did so much for so long.
Loved that PDP-8. We ran mumps on it back in the 70's in a lab. Loved coding away on it.
