SIM card you entered? It contains a data provisioning profile that phone is programmed to accept. Might be picked up, might be not (btw modern smartphones are horrible at supporting ages old standards like remote management).
Can send and receive texts? Cool, so can your prepaid simcard - except it uses texts as a data channel (and since it sends them to itself you are not charged and they will never show up in any tracking data - you know, it's "Service" thing that is too burdensome to record or log).
Note: Think of your simcard as an approx 486DX equivalent with approx 2-4MB ram and around 128MB flash. And it's all outside your control:)
Uhm, thru a fucking supernova sun? So count it as few thousand times longer distance thru way more hostile/denser/intense conditions than the earth ones.
No, not really. Detecting neutrinos when we are looking at them is hard enough, detecting then on a basis where you can say - "oh, and I was wondering what it was those 30 years ago" is pretty much out.
It may as well be a partial cause here. We know that afro-americans are better at dribling a ball, running long distances, etc. Having a genetic advantage in some fields by logic implies a possibility of disadvantage in others.
First one: Both Virgin and BT will happily sell you out. Legal status ignored, they just will on the first request. Second: What good is those 100Mb/s if your router is unable to keep more than 20 TCP connections open?
1) What are your thoughts on electric cars, in example?
"2) that is an urban legend, germany is interconnected in a electriic grid spanning nearly half the planet."
That is an urban legend. Even assuming that electric grid that spans the whole of eurasia that's 10% of the planet at best it would be interesting if you could advise of a known system that could shift any useful electricity source from, let's say for the sake of the argument, Bejing? (otherwise why would you mention the size of this mythical grid)
Nice and sensible although I would like to point out that the 'base load' is not really just 'a little'. This is where your otherwise (for a renewables supported) suprisingly reasonable comment starts to fall apart.
Take a step back there mate. You both are ignoring the darn biggest problem with renewables. (although yeah - I'll believe any wind turbine numbers from a trusted 3rd party not the supplier (if the concept of 3rd party is not something you are familiar with, oh well))
Biggest one: Shifting load. You don't care about what is your theoretical or average capacity, you care about supplying the demand NOW. Power line losses do make it fairly impractical (>500km or so) to rely on that solar panels installation in the neighbouring france or whenever, you need to have a strong base load provider (typically nuclear) with dynamic capacity that can accomodate daily fluctuations (typically hydro or gas/coal as the cycle is quicker to control in accordance with demand). I believe (please feel free to correct me) that even in Germany renewables are used only for the dynamic load as they cannot be relied upon to be available long term.
Hoping that we will suddenly invent the energy storage mechanism that is efficient and scalable enough to enable renewables to power a medium sized city (and the capacity of such system shouldn't be measued in hours of typical consumption - rather like weeks given the weather fluctuations) is optimistic - I'd rather buy a lottery ticket.
Cleanest energy setup long term is pretty clearly nuclear/hydro for base load, renewables for dynamic load as far as possible and finally gas coming online for the peak loads where renewables fail. Attempts to claim that renewables will ever supply more than 60% of energy (and this is in a very very very very utopian scenario perhaps in 80 years or so) and therefore down with nuclear/coal and I want my river back as well is pure fantasy.
To be fair some of Britneys recordings are (actually indeed) exceptionally well mastered. You might not like her music, but if you are a proper audiophile you will still enjoy it.
False. Keeping all that extra circuits even in idle mode, not to mention the efficiency of power converters that are designed for 10x load keep the load up. IIRC modern ATI mid range card is expected to idle in 2d at around 30-50W.
Also, grandparent ignores that this only affects 3d. VESA will still work just fine.

Oh my god. You actually bought the DVD?
Well, apart from Americans pretty much everybody is calling to get rid of Israel...
idiot and a spammer. Fuck you.
Sounds cheap. It's common for commuters in UK to pay around 4000GBP per year for a specific route...
Wrooong :)

Boy I have some bad news for you...
How comes this gets the score of Insightful?

Why do you give a fuck about ipv6? No, seriously?

So, you just gave them your home address on top...
That leaves the second part of the question. Distribution.
Think of the kaboom you can do with a few kgs of TNT now. and the best bit - the whole thing will practically need to be rebuilt from the scratch :)

Admittedly it's still in the planning and politics phase.

And where did we got the stuff from?

You go and keep on believing that buddy ;) We need to keep the likes of you in the food chain to look good.

i810 did the job okay, i815 was pretty much up there with BX at the time.
