If you check the numbers in details, it turns out that almost half of the German economic growth during the 2002-2008 period is solely because of this debt export to the periphery.
For one thing, you'll have to learn a whole new language (and not a programming language!) if you move to France or Germany. And both of these languages are almost, but not entirely completely different from Greek. And there are other issues as well - from climate to different licensing requirements.
Right now electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids are in the slow-start phase of growth. Technology is still new and costs a lot, and charging infrastructure is not yet 100% here.
However, we have made an amazing amount of progress already. I bought a Tesla about a month ago and I already have 5000 miles on its odometer, mostly from road trips. Most of the road trips required no planning at all thanks to the supercharger network ( http://supercharge.info/ ) that is already available. Some road trips required a bit more planning (checking for available Tesla destination charging or slow-chargers in hotels) but so far I had no problems with reaching a desired destination. And most of this infrastructure has been built during the last 3 years!
In 5 years once there are several affordable competing models with 300 miles of range and several supercharger networks, the real question for many people will be: "Why should I buy a gasoline car?"
Right now I'm writing this message from a Fourseasons resort in the Yellowstone Park. I drove here from Seattle on a Tesla (85D) without ANY issues with charging. As for West Virginia there are many charging stations there, see for yourself: http://www.plugshare.com/
Yeah, we've all heard that tearful story about a worker dropping a wrench on asphalt and dying of explosion because someone spilled oxygen on it earlier. We tried to replicate that back we were students and even if you use pure tar mixed with porous sand, it just does not explode. It does not even burn unless you ignite it with a blowtorch.
How did we get liquid oxygen? Easy. Just use liquid nitrogen to condense it from air. One large dewar of LN2 nets you about 2 liters of LOX.
Don't worry. In SCOTUS's world you can just trick your mark into signing away your right to live and then happily kill them or sell them into slavery. After all, SCOTUS has already legalized the waiver of the right to sue.
I'm starting a new company to sell routers with the Baby Seal Friendly mode and another with "Reduced Fat Content" mode. I'm still thinking about "No Cholesterol" mode.
Still, from the outside it's pretty simple - there's a governing body that has power to make decisions within its sovereign rights. The way this body is formed is of no interest to the public outside of it.
Which 'Hawaiians'? This group most certainly does not represent the majority of Hawaiians, nobody has elected them. They don't even represent the majority of natives, since they are not organized in a simple hierarchical way (unlike continental Native American tribes). I predict that the case will be dismissed for the lack of standing, eventually.
So yeah, these 'prote$ter$' can go and fuck themselves with a genetically modified papaya.
There's EVERYTHING wrong with this model. Apple uses its dominant position to undercut competition which can't just strong-arm musicians into allowing them to provide a 'free 3-month trial'. This is kind of behavior which is called 'damping' and is illegal.
Yes, they retrieve a special page or DNS name to verify that you actually control the domain. In essence, they do a three-way handshake using HTTP web pages instead of TCP packets.
However, once you establish the domain ownership, you don't need these special pages anymore - instead you'll use a self-signed certificate to authenticate to the "Let's Encrypt" servers for all operations (which include certificate revocation). No need for them to poll anything.
As far as I understand, the authentication should last for several months and certificates will be issued for a fairly short period (months to 1 year), so you'll have to periodically re-authenticate yourself to renew your certificates. But again, in this case you personally initiate the exchange - EFF won't simply do polling on their own.
Yes. And they most definitely DO NOT need continuous access. The 'software' you're speaking about is simply a set of scripts to handle the domain ownership verification and certificate issue. It doesn't need access to anything but your HTTPD configuration files and/or DNS.
Fierce competition for fares, for one thing. That includes things like fights between drivers, picking people up on the wrong side of the street, dangerous driving so you get to the fare first, etc.
Uhm.. So I guess the medallions didn't help, seeing the way cabbies drive these days.
Except that now medallions cost more than a taxicub driver can earn in 5 years and there are not enough taxis. Try to catch a cab in Brooklyn, for example.
Bullshit. Total bullshit. The amount of water diverted to delta is less than 10% of the required to compensate for the shortfall. Even if all the water were to be diverted to agricultural megacorps, starving salmon fisheries and other ecosystems - it still won't stop the drought.

The major problem is the rate-limiting factors of liver enzymes. The liver can handle a little bit of fructose at a time.
Fructose is directly absorbed into the blood stream. It's not metabolized exclusively by liver.

Which studies? Care to provide a link? I kinda always thought that all sugars are metabolized by 'normalizing' them to glucose and fructose. In case of sucrose it involves hydrolysis of one weak chemical bond, that produces glucose and fructose. HFCS simply skips that step.
So? If people still have a modern-ish civilization in 10000 years then they will be able to detect the contamination. If humankind devolves into barbarians riding with ISIS flags, then they will be endangered by lots of other industrial byproducts. Remember, plutonium decays but arsenic is for forever!
Sub-critical reactors are a stupid idea. There's no _sense_ in using them except if you want them purely as a net-energy-negative neutron source.
If you want to use them for commercial energy production, then you'll have all the same issues as regular reactors. I.e. while it's easy to stop the chain reaction (just drop the rods or turn off the neutron source) short-lived daughter products will keep producing lots of thermal energy for weeks.

If you do it by creating money out of thin air - yes, it shouldn't count as much. And that's what Germany and France were essentially doing all along.
And yes, I do have actual data to prove it: http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/s...

No, developers are not leaving Greece en-masse.
As for "nobody pays taxes in Greece" - the budget of Greece is actually BALLANCED. The government takes more in taxes than it pays its citizens.
Let me repeat it: THE BUDGET OF GREECE IS BALANCED.
The problem is that creditors want MOAR BLOOD from Greece, knowing perfectly well that it'll increase unemployment and general suffering.
No. Most of the debt was spent in Germany or France - in essence these countries abused Greece to stimulate their own economics.

Yes, Priuses (Priora?) have this annoying problems with rusting brake pads. Because they're used so rarely.

Yes, you were an employee. Your employer simply moved tax responsibility off to you, which might have been illegal.

No, it's not cheaper if you need a reliable stable energy source for non-trivial amount of power. It's even more expensive than wind power.
PS: I own stock at several solar companies (public and non-public) and worked professionally in the area of green energy.

Wow. Just wow. Your assurances that the world can be powered fully by solar, rely on a study that projects 35 years into the future?
