Greenpeace stopped being about the environment a long long time ago. All they ever do is target large corperations and blame them for the world's ill's. They have this staggering anti business bias, you'd have to have your head up your ass not to see it.
"And - and secure underground parking would not solve this issue?"
no, it wouldn't. there's still the oppertunity for someone to attack you in some dark corner while walking through the car park. the "security" i've seen in car parks is shitful. much safer to stay locked in your car until you arrive inside your own apartment.
chances are someone rich enough to afford this has made plenty of enemies in the process, so i can see the advantage to it.
incorrect. the frequency and the amount of energy the beam contains are 2 different things.
It's all about dosage and wave length. the stronger the transmitter the more exposure you get to the radio frequency it's putting out and that means more danger of one of it's wave lengths causing a cell to mutate. the wave length itself is what mostly dictates how dangerous a transmitter is, because the wave length needs to be small enough knock an electron off it's parent nucleus and cause it to spin off and join another one, there by damaging a cells DNA and possibly causing cancer.
Without knowing a single thing about me, denouncing how successful i am constitutes almost criminal ineptitude on your part.
If you judge success by money, happiness and respect among peers then i'm very successful.
The man doesn't wear shoes, fuck even the crazy homeless meth addict down town knows shoes are a good thing. what happens when he stands on a boondie or kicks his toe?
his constant grandstanding and absurd demands of the rest of the software industry detract from the good work he has done.
how much power do you really expect to get from a beam like that? the answer is fuck all. definately not enough to move any significant weight.
and i didn't say they were magiclly powered dipshit. you could suspend solar array's via large helluem balloons. obviously you read generator and assumed i meant gas powered when in fact generator could be anything that generates power.
i see NASA's mistake now, they didn't hire YOU to plan their space program for them! fuck me think of all the bucks we could have saved! instead of using actual science, we could have sat your ass down to watch hollywood movies and solved all those pesky problems like radiation and gravity
And obviously it's the oil companys. those bastards making money off all those rocket luanches, fuck them for supplying us with fuel!
seriously though, what are you smoking because i want some? the hulk doing space launches, oil company conspiracies... sounds like some good drugs you got there.
"making the cable out of is proven to be impossible or another technology obviates the need for it"
huh, thats some back to front logic there. what your saying is lets invest time and money into building the robot before putting the effort into making the thing the robot needs to climb, and just hoping to hell the cable issue sorts it self out.
It'd make a hell of a lot more sense to know the cable is even possible before giving away million dollar prizes for the robot.
um, they are moving at 2m/s, not constantly accelerating at that rate.
it's still going to take this thing 4 months to get into geosync.
why all this bullshit with laser beams and microwaves? why not power it from a circut printed on the cable? is there some limitation on weight doing so or have they missed the blindingly obvious in their pursuit of the most "clever" solution.
lastly, this is all a waste of time until they have a material they can make the cable out of - and if you say carbon nano tubes i'll stab you in the eye with a pencil, they haven't produced any sizable object from nano tubes.

you only need to read their website to see to know fuck all about the issues their protest so vocally about.
no, it wouldn't. there's still the oppertunity for someone to attack you in some dark corner while walking through the car park. the "security" i've seen in car parks is shitful. much safer to stay locked in your car until you arrive inside your own apartment.

err your paying 4.7M for an apartment WITH an elevator, you dumbass, not just for the elevator.

the actual % of C02 added to the atmosphere by man is TINY by comparison.
I would totally pay for one if i had the cash.
there's various holes in the global warming C02 theory.
1. other planets are also warming
2. C02 lags temp. increases
3. The hottest years on record predate industrialisation.
The idea that jet travel is a green house problem is pure, undiluted bullcrap. infact it's reading on my bullshit meter cracked the guage.
i never suggested the world was better off without GPL, i said CHOOSE YOUR OWN LICENSE.
if that means GPL that's fine. my point, was that stallman doesn't want that kind of freedom.
if you want to write code and give it away fine, but why does he have a problem with what the rest of us do with our own work?
your the moronic one if you think running around in a formal setting without shoes doesn't speak volumes about him.
That's not actually freedom. People should be free to choose their license of choice, but in a stallman world that's not an option.

he is selling ideals. much more dangerous then anything you exchange money for....
the only thing you'd buy from a guy like that is weed.
also, your space pier idea... what kind of cargo are you expecting to survive the same g's a bullet experiences?
21c on cd's because it MIGHT be used to burn music? what about people like me who only burnt their data to cd's?

perhaps floating generators at set intervals? there has to be a simpler answer then freaking laser beams.

I predict the porno industry will find a use for it first, always being on the cutting edge as they are.
nice. people who buy season tickets are their bread and butter.
and people think RIAA are evil cocksuckers, teleco company's leave them for dead.
