And all of it was warranted due to your deliberate misinformation. Why are you back asking for a medal for finally telling the truth about a topic you know next to nothing about?
You deliberately got it wrong 3 times out of four and you clearly know almost nothing about this field. Why are you still rabbiting on to someone with more than a twenty year head start on the issue? You do not have the foundation or the integrity to even begin to participate in a serious discussion on the issue, and as for the name calling, you've been doing either all of it or pretty damned close to all of it. I suggest you discuss a topic you know something about instead of tilting at windmills merely because you see them as a "green" symbol and it offends your politics. Even China, where they lock people up for "green" politics, has a lot of windmills for purely practical reasons.
The message I've been trying to get through to you for a long time is I do not think this should be the place to subvert naive young techies to your politics via lies and misdirection. Your "proof" that you could not even read in response to being called out on your utterly ridiculous and vehement 100% was especially slimy. We should be here to let the kids know what is real and not groom them as useful political idiots - such an action intensely disgusts me, especially since folk like you are not pushing nuclear for any practical reason but merely because major players in the industry donate to The Party you follow. Those are the sort of people that want to build 1970s dinosaur nuke plants at vast taxpayer and consumer expense instead of doing R&D - hence you pushing the pathetic "also involves engineering challenges, but those have been solved already" line. Meanwhile Russia, India and even China are trying to solve the real challenges to build viable modern plants far better than the current ones, but of course they get ignored by you pretending it's all a solved problem since they are not donors to The Party. Small startups in the USA are working on improvements based on military reactors, but they are not considered because they don't donate either. This utterly pathetic tilt at windmills on your part wasn't even brought on by a pathetic envy between two alternative energies - it's all about fucking politics isn't it and far more pathetic?
I'd say by that point Atari was a huge failure as an entity instead of the actual device, as seen with other things where they developed products but did not follow through.
Why are you still going on? You've given up on distracting bluffs, finally written something truthful and I've complimented you on it Mr 100%. Now that you've stopped playing petty games there's no reason for me to take you to task for it.
Is it diverse enough that someone from Hungary (Intel) or Russia (Google - ok so he grew up in the USA so maybe not a good example) can get finance from locals with nothing much behind them apart from an education? That's a major reason for Silicon Valley, the other is that there is plenty of stuff there to provide a supply chain. Silicon Valley really should have happened in Texas, but the one thing they didn't have was a willingness to let people from all over the world bring in their good ideas to a place where the factories next door could supply them the bits they needed. For some reason California provided that at the right time.
I always find it funny that despite all the blame on unions there's so much Hollywood outsourcing to places like Australia and Canada with much stronger unions. It's cheaper in those places and has nothing to do with unions, it's because the film companies don't have to pay a shitload in extra employee on-costs like health cover. However it's fashionable for many in politics to blame unions, oppose any attempt to fix the situation and take a few more dollars under that table from big pharma etc instead of working for their country.
You said capacity - capacity is in GW without a time element, which is why it's now so amusing that you put up something that's not about capacity in your current attempt.I'm glad you've got someone to explain your second "trump card" to you after the first one failed. I have to admit I didn't read your 2012 link because you've been crying wolf rather a lot and it's obvious that this is not a field you know much about. If you got something right and can show so with the 2012 PDF, then congratulations, maybe you should demonstrate such honesty to start with instead of spamming people with links that do not match what you say they do.
If you haven't noticed by now my posts have all been about your deception. France does appear to have something slightly less than 75% nuclear generating capacity now, and had potentially a bit more in 2006, however instead of getting something that stated as such initially you threw another bluff in my face after being caught out with your utterly ridiculous and vehement 100%, hence all these posts.
There is no contradiction. You lose.
So all a game to you? You want a medal because you told the truth on the 4th attempt? Makes sense and explains why you will not take responsibility for your own actions when the object of your fanaticism is being discussed.
Fair enough, I see where you are coming from, but could you please let us violent mobsters discuss who it's best to take money from and how. It's difficult to scrape up much from poor people and a waste of stolen resources.
Yes I understand your philosophy - teamwork is evil and expecting people to contribute to a group effort is evil. Now that's out of the way can we take it as read that some don't agree with it and would ike to discuss details of this tax/tithe/volunteering stuff you see as evil?
This time it's Amazon becuase of damning evidence, that's why it's them this time and not Apple or Microsoft. However there's more to come and it looks like there's something on Rupert Murdoch's companies (Fox, Newscorp etc) in the documents.
I certainly do understand enough to identify that it does not say what you pretend it does - for instance the total capacity of coal generation in that document is less than that of the Cordemais Power Station, let alone the sum of all the other coal fired plants in France. So your silly bluff failed because I can read a bit of French even though I'm rusty. I suppose you depended on an audience of young and naive American tightly focused computer technicians when you decided to use that report that you do not understand yourself as your trump card. I'm still participating in this long and tedious thread because I wish to discover the motivation behind your deceptions. What are you still doing here apart from having tantrums as I call you out on each of them?
Yes, little bit of blackface comedy there redirected to a safer demographic, but consider the following:
In the US the population is mobile and diverse plus typically jobs are awarded based on merit.
In North Korea most of that does not apply.
Personally I'm backing the diverse US option instead of the North Korean "everyone must fit in" approach. How do you like it presented that way? Does it bypass enough baggage to avoid silly blackface comedy?
Similarly a total lack of diversity results in an insular and slow moving monoculture. It looks like I need a blunt instrument to be clearer. In the US the population is mobile and diverse plus typically jobs are awarded based on merit. In North Korea most of that does not apply.
Did that make it through to the many here who are nitpicking based on personal baggage instead of considering it in general terms.
Yes but sometimes they hire people with the exact same interests or background instead of hiring for talent. My point was really that you should look for talent beyond who you knew in your college dorm, and there's some places that reduce the pool to that or similar.
Fair enough, and thanks for the background, but there was still risk in a new rocket even if it was designed by the same designer as the old one. If you think back to the earlier thread that was my entire point. A changed design introduces risk.
I still find it implausible that the stage is anything else than a Zenit with a bit of a lenght cut out.
Which changes how it flies. An example I used to present to students was the "Liberty" ships, where the only two changes were joining method and in many cases a relaxation of quality standards for the steel used. Those two changes without proper redesign to take them into account resulted in more than a couple of thousand recorded catastropic cracking incidents, multiple ones per ship in some cases, and the number of ships reported lost due to the cracking was in triple digits but I can't recall more detail than that. In that case changing the joining method from riveting to welding meant that a redesign of a deck hatch was required. That was resisted until many months had passed and more than one thousand ships with that design had been built. So that's another way to illustrate the point I was trying to convey - design is a process that involves feedback and is not as trivial as changing a line of source code without having to worry about the libraries it calls.
So yes, even "a Zenit with a bit of a length cut out" is undoubtedly not trivial and not without risk. It would be nice to have something entirely new pushing the envelope but the approach of running spaceflight as separate cottage industries instead on contractors under the expert guidance of NASA is unlikely to deliver anything of consequence.
It was obviously a suggestion due to the number of sites that supply a figure with no jusification. Please stop continuing being far too stupid to understand that, we both know you are just putting it on to play the role of someone who's been cruelly wronged - pathetic todder tantrum just because your trump card of a report you did not expect me to understand failed.
However, the only interesting thing at this point is why you choose to act the way you do. The real nuclear industry people I've worked with are reasonable, so what makes you, an obvious complete outsider, so rabid on the issue?
Are you that slow? Read it again. Take note of the content. Notice where on Slashdot it came from. It's to rub in that your stupid fucking opinion that wind is entirely useless and France has 100% nuclear is not a primary source either is it? Your opinion is an opinion.
Sadly if your inability to understand previously that significantly changing the mass and volume of a rocket changes it's flight characteristics enough that it may as well be a different rocket is widespread then it may as well resemble Lebanese politics. People pick up useful stuff if you don't have a monoculture. Silicon Valley would not have succeeded if they had nothing other than University of California graduates.

"Large quantities of power" was the phrase that kicked it all off did it not? Get your dictionary out.

Makes sense. Right next to Orlando is the perfect site for the city of the future, or a magic kingdom come to think of it.
I thought they were. Another name recycled, but the Australian one is far cooler. It was founded by Batman! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Batman)

Especially since the booksellers that do pay tax are undercut by Amazon and lose sales. A lot of bankruptcies have been blamed on that.
Yes I understand your philosophy - teamwork is evil and expecting people to contribute to a group effort is evil.

If I hadn't already posted I'd mod the above up. A lack of diversity is a sign that you are not looking very far for talent.

Just was getting sick of waiting for your reply after my point about the different tank etc, wondering if you got it or not, and then here you are!
Did you reply to the wrong post or something?
Are you that slow? Read it again. Take note of the content. Notice where on Slashdot it came from.
