Well, more to the point - in present world you can hardly have a good justification with messing in some region if nobody in that region wants it... IIRC most bomb tonnage was delivered from land bases in few recent conflicts, anyway.
And seriously, Venezuela and N. Korea? OK, China is somewhat understandable (though not clear-cut at all; ROC was quite authoritarian by itself, but on "our side"; and PRC position is not too unreasonable / partial recognition of it happened almost 4 decades ago / the reintagration will happen anyway, economically; oh, and of course you will be fine with PRC carrier in the Gulf of Mexico / between Florida and Cuba?), but...seriously?
That's a bit like saying the less water the better (hey, vs. possibly soaking on the rain or even drowning...the less there is can be only better, right?)
This applies also to latest car turbodiesels, dig a bit more. How convenient for you to omit engine to wheel/etc. losses with electric, again... Within real world / physics / practical advantages of ICE - 50% is quite good.
Saying something almost "just because it's so" again and again, while grossly overstating its "poor" state & choosing (?) to forget some gotchas with electric does hint at something... I, if anything, worship real world; where diesels are one of the most important parts of the puzzle to limit emissions; certainly not to be dismissed. And even then I will continue to carry a folding bike in the trunk of my non-daily driven car... (a hub model, essentially - if some place is too impractical to get to by anything except a car, it's still often quite nice to have a bike always at hand while there; and noncritical claims of uberwundersuperiority of something work against such approaches, people can just tell themsevles they are sooo great with their uberwundersuperior electric car; similarly to how cars generally got way too much adaption in many places)
Latest car diesels are around 45% RIGHT NOW, already significantly more than your "only 25%!", with solid prospects of hitting 55% quite soon. Down the line, new materials / ceramics should allow for more, diesels are limited only by their strenght & operating temperature when trying to bring them nearer to their thermodynamic maximum. They tend to last longer, too.
Materials for high efficiency & decently light batteries won't become easier & more efficient to get with rising popularity, too.
But look how standard of a thing that "hypocrisy" is (my story is at most a very vivid example) - ask anybody about their views regarding corruption / etc. Now consider that the "system" is composed from those very same people. Those of them who are not "in" usually value the benefits, given the chance...
...while so conveniently forgetting about ICE hitting 50% when the condition become right, high energy density of liquid hydrocarbons (that's why we use them in the first place), or additional inefficiences of various kind introduced by, say, large battery (also its manufacturing)
Look, I can't wait for electric vehicle when my current one reaches end of its useful life in 5+ years (when those using also electric engine should become quite mature / at least first one probably with small diesel ICE optimised for constant speed (when diesel shines), to keep it always going anyway); but stop worshipping them.
Opera is quite small also in "Europe" (supposedly you mean "EU" here, because most of that CIS population is also in Europe; EU != Europe, remember?); most of their strenght certainly lies outside of the EU.
It's worth EU's time to protect the market from abusive companies, from wherever they are (usually from the EU)
That doesn't fit at all how the EU "goes after" primarilly local companies abusing the market. You just hear about cases of overseas / from you place ones more.
But it's nowhere near 90%, so don't throw that number around. And ignores that ICE-equipped (lately also ICE / will resolve a problem of constantly changing operating conditions for example) are improving, too.
In the end, representation generally does happen, in a way - it's just that what individual members of a given society claim they want and value, and what the society actually promotes in the system of governance, are not necessarily the same thing.
Personal anecdote time: during uni I had one roommate from a place which will remain unnamed, but is generally one of impoverished & corrupt ones - at the time we were also watching on the BBC a major unrest there, revolving around electoral fraud. Of course he was openly disgusted at such state of affairs, rampant corruption, etc. But what was he doing? Studying & living blissfully in a relatively expensive place, financed by his family at home in the position of public authority, on a curse leading to a diploma which will be useless (just for a paper; while cheating) - but with a position in a public institution at home virtually assured after his return.
The close relation between those things and what he supposedly despises never quite seemed to click with him... at most, some other groups / etc. were the guilty ones.
"Kept their heads and torsos moving without flailing their arms and legs" seems useful in adapting our ways to attracting mates, though. Seems like the moves might be quite doable while sitting on a couch.
Not necessarily; some tests by ARM/Symbian/Nokia strongly suggest that a n-core chip of x frequency is a good way to get considerable energy savings over a singlecore chip of n*x frequency. Of course whether or not it would be used that way is another thing...
Considering it has to work as described by unforgiving thermodynamic cycles and within limitations of real world (limits of materials, changing operating conditions, avoidance of excessive emissions & noise, a need to fit into specific budget), it's not too bad.
I wasn't aware even midgets are light enough to fly those.
Seriously., those models a bit out of context, don't you think? (especially considering that, when using smallest electric motors, sub-0.5m wingspan is doable)

SUSE is now profitable by itself. And quite deployed in some parts of the world / those continuing contracts might be nice.

Furthermore (apparently you didn't get the memo during the last decade) we are in a perpetual war now...
One can't help but wonder how we manage to avoid a rift in spacetime continuum when some disaster happens to one of the vessels of the discussed type.
That's a bit like saying the less water the better (hey, vs. possibly soaking on the rain or even drowning...the less there is can be only better, right?)
Don't forget, s-word can be very frightening...
So - when will they declassify a version with small high wing and two large swiveling turbines at its ends?

Drop the worshipping finally; it will only bring trouble down the line / your deamons had similar faithfull at the beginning who pushed them too much.
Don't give janitor-pushers any ideas...
Of course in a car...

You really never noticed there's no posting & modding at the same time here?...
And again, you're reverting to talking only about the motor part, sheesh...

Goddamn commies.

Which totally ignores electricity generation, transmission and storage.
