Now I'm interested in anyone's explanation on why would someone have to face a legal process that's not of his country.
Someone should be tried for a crime in the country the crime was committed on. That's why the extradition figure exists, otherwise there could be universal impunity to any crime by just running off to the neighboring country. A hacker doing its thing in the pentagon has committed a crime in US soil no matter where the hacker's physical location was at the time. The object of the hack is physically in the US, thus it's fair for the US to ask for extradition (and for the UK to deny it). On top of that, his actions might be illegal in the country he's committing the crime from, so the hacker could conceivably tried and charged twice.
Fair play, but you can't subdue a country on submarines or airplanes, you need infantry on the ground, and the obstacles for this to happen in Britain were too big, hundred fold as compared with France with direct ground access - it would've required the anihilation of the RAF and the navy first and not in parallel.
The difference is that the germans appeared all over france in full strength, that is, by both air and land and from a closer distance to "base" so to speak. The british pretty much had to deflect "just" (as if it was easy anyway) the luftwaffe to defend themselves due to tanks not being that good at swimming. Hardly a fair comparison.
While you're technically right, you're somewhat wrong. The law allows this by omission. "Copia privada" only applies if you make a copy from legally sourced media. A film downloaded from thepiratebay is not legally sourced media, nor is it illegal either (see my second paragraph). What the law states, on the paragraphs of it you copied, is that in the case of the user making a copy of their bitchney spears CD, the user is not obliged to pay extra to the copyright holders if there's no profit to be made, and within this they can play the copy to their heart's content or pass on the copy to someone else. I believe they call this "fair use" in the US.
Those two paragraphs create a loophole. I can copy my DVD and give that copy to someone else, this person obtained the copy legally so they can make a copy for someone else ad infinitum (eg p2p). Since all copies have to have an origin on an original DVD/CD/whatever their owner made a copy of, the law allows basically people to download with no limits but it does so not explicitly.
The exception seems to be recordings (ie cinema recordings) as in that case the origin copy was made illegally. There're probably a few more cases as well.
Downloading copyrighted audio/video works is legal in spain, as long as no profit is made
That's not quite true. It's not exactly legal nor illegal, in any case there are no enforceable consequences on doing so. Unfortunately our government is so weak loads of interest groups have lots of leverage on it, including SGAE yes but also independentist political parties. The ministers are notoriously incompetent, especially the newly appointed culture ministry. Worth noting the minister is a movie director and has many ties on different pressure groups linked in one way or another to the SGAE.
That's obviously true, what surprised me is they forgot something else which is complementary and equally important when measuring exercise effects: YOU PUT ON MUSCLE. Body weight is totally irrelevant when it comes to slimming down. Body fat percentage is what's all about. As you exercise you damage your muscles, they repair themselves and strengthen by getting bigger and denser. Fat density is very low as compared to muscle density. You get slimmer and lose little weight. It can happen that you actually put on weight, although this happens only as you get closer to your healthy body fat percentage range (which for men, for example, is between 10% and 15%).
But Windows home users will NEVER use CLI. Let me repeat that: Windows home users will NEVER EVER use CLI. In fact most power users don't care for it either.
I am a power user and use the CLI all the time regardless of the OS.
That's because windows's CLI is shite. I have Bash on all machines I have access to for exactly this same reason.
In all honesty I could get away without using the CLI at all, but it's been far too many years using it... many tasks are far quicker to get done on the CLI in any operating system I've used. The windowed interface allows almost the same level of control over the OS, and it's just easier to grasp for non power users. But not more efficient.
A good environment will cater for both power and non power users. Linux-based machines do exactly that for me, that's why they suit me. Windows + bash through cygwin is almost as good and it's what I use at work.
The parent. As I said on another comment, blades are designed with a balance, individually. Plus even if you managed to put the thing on all the blades without altering both their individual balance AND the balance of the whole apparatus (which is what you mentioned), the resulting monster will be heavier thus spinning slower thus generating less power.
The whole idea is laughable. Wanna go ahead with it, put a machine on a shed, end of story. Don't touch the turbines.
Please read the parent post. He mentioned "blade". Individual blades are balanced. It's not just putting one radar each, the blade itself will be out of balance.
Well, the police also lock the cars as well as putting notes on them...
How exactly? My car can only be locked with both doors already closed. This is a safety to make it impossible for you to be locked out. So if you wanna lock it without keys from outside, you need one window down (which they wouldn't be able to as the electric motors require the ignition to be on).
Plus I don't want anyone fiddling with my car, good intentions or otherwise. Still an invasion of my property.
Erm you try to get anywhere in London without knowing the city... having a satnav means I don't have to stop every so often to read a map and I can get to my destination far quicker and react to traffic events more efficiently.
It strikes me how little police stop cars in this country. Back in Spain I was constantly stopped for breathalyser tests, or to be searched for drugs with dogs and whatnot. You didn't have both your driver's license AND id card (they will eventually merge in a single document) and you were pretty much fucked (the first is mandatory to carry when you drive, the second always) as you were both fined and possibly escorted to the police station to check on your identity to prove a) you're entitled to drive that car (insurance etc) and b) you're entitled to drive.

I suspect the problem is to do with medicine itself - every case is different and partly the attitude of its practitioners - doctors are set in their ways and often arrogant.
That's what I have perceived as well, and that's why it's a mistake targeting medical practices. You have to go to whoever signs the cheques, normally healtchare trusts.
The thing is that there's been a lot of budget cuts in the NHS. This actually benefits companies like mine where substantial savings can be had by using our tech (to cut a long story short, our monitoring kit allows the patients to take control on their disease, this avoids many a ER room visit).

I would imagine the picture is very different depending on the country. I work on long term conditions monitoring systems in the UK and obviously our main client is the NHS. Even though our systems (or similar systems from other companies) will save the NHS a lot of money in the medium term it's been very slow to adapt due to the layers and layers and layers of management and middle management which also has a high rotation rate. It's not phobia to tech but politics (ie predecessor project on hold while I get mine to completion type of thing) for the most part.
About the article, it's fairly misleading and uninformed in my experience:
Too bad the medical industry has a vested interest in inefficiency.
Please spare me the conspiration theories. A sizeable chunk of the medical industry is composed of small companies whose main selling point is precisely efficiency and subsequent cost savings. This, the big medical companies can't provide anyway, there's no conspiration, you wouldn't believe the amount of paperwork you need to keep up to date to comply with regulations in this industry and especially with new products, therefore they simply sell same old.
Fair point, this is why I wasn't speaking in absolutes. Would really need to look at the video to figure out, but tbh I have a hard time thinking of a way this could not be fair use, if it did happen just as JWSmythe said... not that I care anyway, I didn't intend to start a discussion on this.

You've got to start the conversion to 100% electric somewhere, plus the transition to renewables can happen in parallel.

...Or for a tad more energy efficiency vs. using RADAR to heat up the bats skull to produce sound, put some SPEAKERS on the bloody blades.
Dude, last thing you wanna do is to introduce instability on a 4m long blade by adding uneven weight.
That's what cubic football stadiums are for.
