Good point, but these losers keep on pushing hard to make copyright issues a criminal matter so in some places their felony may not be enough to throw the case out.
A good half of us probably have a browser loaded onto something never meant to have a browser in the first place
A science fiction novel I read recently had the protagonists break into a car to use a GPS to do a google search because they didn't want to turn their phones on and be tracked.
That was the original idea and it would have cost a lot less but taken a lot longer to implement. With better trained people you do not need as many of them. Stupidity became the default and now it is a giant welfare scheme and money funnel to cronies (eg. Rapiscan). Shutting it down would be political suicide so nobody has the balls to stop the ball squeezing.
Imagine a third nation, they replace their coal plants with nuclear power.
What do you do to follow demand? It's not a square wave, it's a curve. You need little units to fill in the gaps and nuclear doesn't do those well at the moment. Don't just think in boolean - get real:)
Energy monocultures suck and are usually only promoted by salesfolk and deluded fanboys.
By using breeder reactors and fuel reprocessing the amount of nuclear waste produced is the size of a beer can per gigawatt-year.
If you wish to advocate nuclear power it is worth learning about the topic. The website describing waste processing at Harford into MOX fuel and the portions about low level waste that cannot be reprocessed may help you avoid embarrassing mistakes.
There is, but it's about liquid oil - not tar, shale, gas or whatever. People like to take a technical term about a bump on a graph of oil production over time and stick that label on their own personal strawmen and then use that to ridicule people who are actually using it as a technical term. If you want say there is no "peak energy", then fine, but liquid oil is getting harder to find and extract over time so the statements from 20 years ago still hold, so please don't get misled by idiots into thinking that "peak energy" and "peak oil" are the same thing.
It's still incredibly lossy. What is not lossy is to have a distributed grid with a lot of little units and then bring them online as needed to follow demand. That's why, despite the shortcomings it has, wind power is becoming very popular. No wind here? Who cares, it's blowing way over there. Don't believe me? Get a twelve year old to explain a weather map to you.
Base load is an artifact of having to do something with all that heat you have to pump into thermal units at night to have them ready to use when people wake up. Pump storage is part of doing something with it instead of throwing it all away. It's still incredibly lossy even if better than batteries.
Makes sense for it to happen now. Since nothing has happened since Thatcher came to power it would be hitting the end of it's life without a nearly complete rebuild.
If Scotland implemented solar, now that would be impressive
One impressive pilot installation has the heat difference between solar heated hot water and cold water from underground working as a heat pump and generating some electricity. It only works if there are flooded mine tunnels below but it turns out that most of the heavily populated areas in Scotland do have flooded mine tunnels below.
Because it's too successful and thus not an effective strawman.
See also the focus on charging at windmills as photovoltaic panels in the home have become popular. Apparently we should only be choosing methods of energy generation that are pretty - how is that for a really weird line of attack?
Really? Why do you say that? Please tell me what other than ignorance and total lack of thought made you come to that conclusion. Please show your working.
Even at the tribal level the individual is subservient to the good of the group. Even at the family level when disasters hit and tough choices are made the individual is subservient to the good of the group. Ask nearly any parent. Most would put themselves in danger if that's what it took to save their kids. Most would think that there is something seriously wrong with a person who would put themselves first as you suggest.
If you think otherwise I'd be interested to know why because it is totally opposed to anything I have observed so I'd like to know what groundbreaking declaration you are going to make which is going to totally change the way everyone looks at society. Let's hear it.
I'm not so sure that the private education is much better. The USA seems to have some of the best postgraduate students in the world but what hits the universities at the undergraduate level - not so much. Either way, pointing out issues with Trump is not the same as a cheer for Clinton or Sanders (or Cruz for that matter).
There's been plenty of studies to suggest that large amounts of salt causes problems but since we eat a combination of foods it's possible that for those people the salt was accompanied by large amounts of bacon.
If Trump has the vast majority of support from primary voters, and doesn't get the nomination due to skulduggery, there will be rioting in the streets.
And the Party numbers men will care about that? Expect a rule change like the last time if they think it necessary.
They are not afraid because it won't be their born to the purple heads getting busted but some mere plebians instead.
I suppose if you keep telling yourself that then you think there is no reason to check to see what reality is doing. While what you mentioned is a problem a bit of a conversation with a charity dealing with such things would reveal that it is not as universal and simple as you suggest. Are those girls paid by lobbyists to service your elected representatives in Vegas and other places slaves?
When regulations are relaxed you get things like cheap and nasty "Liberty Ships" breaking apart even in the fitting out dock (let alone at sea with the loss of many lives), all being sold to the taxpayer at more than the usual price of something with decent quality. A current example is the Joint Strike Fighter. The anti-fraud laws are there due to a lot of fraud.
They are getting in the way of the good old American tradition of claim salting, but he doesn't understand that without them the good old American tradition of tarring, feathering or stringing up from the nearest tree becomes a viable solution to claim salters and other financial tricksters.

Reality? From the pentagon crash was faked guy?

Why IBM?
Wouldn't the Rand Corporation be a better match for once?

Diminishing returns, hence not.

A lot of places do but they have a LOT of water behind those dams. Look for enormous catchments headed with snow covered mountains.

Creationists on the other hand put the horse before Descarte.
It's called civilization and every "ism" does it not just socialism.

And while the United States in in paralysis you'll see Russia and China shake up the rest of the world. Not such a good plan.
Now that's the post that should be modded up to 5 instead of mine.
Since the jobs would move away why not follow them?
Vote Trump - for the Atlantic City Casino Boss who cares. Yeah right.
