And what exactly has that to do with handing out money? If I get $1000 via work, it has the exact same value as if I get it as gift or UBI. If I go into a shop no one knows how I got the money.
GPS has no uplink. It only has a downlink. Jamming the downlink basically means you point a strong enough noise signal on the users, not on the sattelite.
How would a sattelite send up a decade ago track a billion devices via an uplink? The sattelite works like a light house, it simply blinks its position and time.
Why don't you simply take a thermometer and look on it? Why do we have this stupid discussion?
A thermometer works exactly like year.
There is no one centimeter long 0 degrees stripe on the termometer. There is a point which is marked with zero. The same for years. There is no one cm long stripe on a calendar for a year zero, but a point market zero.
What is 0.5 - (-) 0.5? That is a one unit long distance. Does not matter if it is temperature, time or space. If you would introduce a "zero year", you had an aditional year in the middle and the distance from -0.5 to +0.5 would be two. That makes no sense. In other words a child born 1st of July in the year -1 (-0.5) is at 30ths of June in the year +1 (+0.5) exactly 365 days old, which is exactly one year, as you would expect.
Which part of: "Fukushima is in Japan" did you not grasp yet? Japan... that is nont the USA. It is a country on the other side of the planet. You might have heard about it in school. For some obscure reasons the US once where at wat with Japan.
So: there never really was an anti nuclear power movement in Japan. And: the plant did not go splash because of 'old plant, should have been replaced by new design' but because of idiotic errors/mistakes during construction and stupid slow reaction after the plant got diconnected from power. And: the cooling system was badly damaged by the earthquake. Would have happend to any plant.
Hippies never shut down research into power nuclear pants, you are just an idiot making this up.
You live in some dream world. And hippie hater dream world.
Fusion research is a very big thing, you must be living under a rock. Fusion reactors won't fix any energy problem in the foreseeable future: because it is really hard! (e.g. what fuel would YOU use?) I suggest to read a book about it instead of spreading your ignorance here.
An ancient civiliation, just on the level of 1940, would not have nuclear power. The photoelectric effect was discovered by Einstein around 1910, they could have used photovoltaic. They might have lived in an environment where water power was feasible. E.g. the romans used aquae ducts to bring water over thousands of miles to run various kinds of mills.
Right now nuclear power is dead. Perhaps they used it for 50 or 100 years and at some point in time we stumble over their waste. On the other hand the indian veda are full with war events that are most easily be explained by nuclear strikes.
It is relatively easy to build houses that don't need much heating or air conditioning. During the occupation of Spain by the moslems, they introduced cooling techniques. Already the romans (despite having heating systems) build their houses in the way that they where cool in summer (atrium) but where warmed by the sun in winter.
Keep in mind that we are not talking about a specific 'level' of civilization. For me an Egypt or Greece level would be enough to be excited. A level like WWI Europe/America, would be interesting too. Suppose such an civilization had existed in Ice Age Indonesia: we really had trouble to find anything signifiant.
As soon as you find a way to handle nuclear waste of nuclear power plants we can talk about that;)
The people did not try that system and it led to a dictatorial result. Some guys at the head of a revolution became the dictators, and imposed the system on the people.
Did you ever read anything about history?
The places where people voluntarily went into socialism/comunism via voting got destroyed by America/the CIA (e.g. Chile)
Sorry my friend, there never was a holy war, you simply use vi. And tabs versus spaces is obviously tabs. As some guy much smarter than me once said: 'You might disagree, but you would be wrong!'
Typographicc nerds use tabs, and define in convenient units where each tab stop is (because not all 'tabs' aka columns have an equal width).

How would come gold or lead come into a nuclear power plant? Why would an ancient civilization use nuclear power? Perhaps they only where on ancient Egypt level or UK steam age level?
This site: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...Ãbekli_Tepe was discovered 55 years ago, It took over 30 years to recognize its significancy.
It is twice as old as any Pyramid or tower of Babylon.
That site is over 10,000 years old.
And there are plenty of sites like that. We have found about 2 dozens, all over the planet. In some cases indications they even traded amoung each other.
We basically have no evidence for anything we did not explicitly look for.
Consider the last "Ice Age", North America under an ice shield of about 3 miles thickness. Glaciers flowing outward to the oceans. If there was a "modern building" made from concrete and steel it would have been grinded to dust, it would been smeared over hundreds if not thousands of km of landscape. There is not real a chance in hell to find anything from it. If there was a civilization on the level of ancient Egypt or even steam age UK before the previous ice age, in the area of the ice shield, then absolutely nothing, except lost tools in a cave, would have survived the ice age. I doubt a WWII battle ship, like Prince Eugene, which survived several nuke strikes, swimming, would have survived getting dragged by a glacier 3000 miles far to the sea under giga tonnes of ice.
A modern city like Las Vegas would have been smeared to dust. Nothing left. A city like New York would be somewhere 1000 miles out in the sea in minimum (originally) 150 yards deep water, probably covered by 50 yards of sludge or more (and grinded to pieces as well).
On the other hand, we found Oezi... a stone age man inside of a glacier when he got spit out he probably was about 10k years inside (but was not on the ground and got grinded)
So were could we find something? Somewhere where there was no ice shield. But then again, about 1000km out in the sea, modern water depth about 50 or 70 meters, 50 to 100 meters under the sludge that has deposited there.
Good luck in searching there, I doubt we even know how to look below such deep levels of sludge, you probably need detonations and acoustic methods like in oil exploration.
Only 10k - 70k years ago the coast lines where about 100 - 1000 miles different. Actually a no brainer. Google for sea levels / coast lines during the last "ice age". No one is examining ancient coast lines buried under hundreds of feet of sludge.
There most likely is no single river on earth that a somewhat close resemblance of its current flow before the most recent "ice age".
No, 4 years. With what math skill do you come to 3? Obviously you have to count from the start of -2 to the and of +2, just like you did with the temperature on the thermometer. And that yields: 4. It is beyond me why you want to treat a time scale different than a temperature scale or length scale.
Glossy screens are a pain in the ass for me, both on my tablets as on my Mac Book Air 13". Luckily I could order my old 17" with matte. However it is so weak in illumination, you can not see *anything at all* in bright sunlight.
But people that time had no idea what to do with them, they used them for "spectacular tricks" like "magically" opening huge doors of temples.
If we once had another civilization (there are plenty of plausible reasons, which I will explain in another post) then two thinks are most important to consider: a) coverage of the ground with dust. The city Troy has about 9 layers of destroyed buildings and rebuild buildings on top of it. And that is a town just 5000 years old. When it was found it was more or less unrecognizable covered under earth. b) Considering the last "ice age", sea levels where some 120m lower than now. E.g. Australia was nearly connected with Asia via a land bridge. A civilized nation most likely would have many cities at the coast. Today that would be hundreds if not thousands of miles away from the coast line. In water depths of about 120+ meters. And obviously, depending of about what time frame we are talking, last "ice age", or 6 "ice ages" ago, those areas would be covered with perhaps a mile of mud.
No one is searching dozens or hundreds or thousands of kilometers out in the sea in depths around 150m - 60m under a mile or hundred meters of sludge. If you would try to get funding for something like this people would declare you mad. Anyway, if another Schliemann shows up and gets enough funding I could imagine we find something (note: I said imagine, not that I'm convinced or believe there is something)
Here, two nice pictures about coast lines and sea levels: https://www.iceagenow.com/Sea_... Note Japan, Indonesia, North America and Europe, the land bridge closing Spain with north Africa. The second picture has the outline of the coast lines during the last "ice age" as a grey frame around the green land masses.
Very similar in Greece. But at some point the "government" realizes that you cashed in the health insurance pay out for the funeral but/and still cash in the pension...
Look at it carefully: now point out the temperature span "zero".
There is none. There is a point zero.
For the exact same reason there is no year zero. But a point zero on the meter which you meter time. The year below the point zero is the year minus one the year above the point zero is the year plus one.
And that analogy holds for every scale, year, month, day, hour...
There is no meter zero or dm zero or cm zero or mm zero either. On any scale there usually is only a single point marked as zero.
That is the main reason why Pascal and Modula by default use arrays where the index starts with 1.
Doing date math in Java etc. is only that complicated because some "morons" thought it would be funny that the first day of the week (or month) starts with '0', luckily this is fixed since Java 8.
Depends what you mean with jamming. If you send a strong signal to the satellite, it might be disabled to pick up control commands. But to jam e.g. GPS, you need to jam the area where the victims are, sending a "flash of energy" to the satellite does not disable it from sending its GPS signals down to earth... same for TV etc.
Slashdot Mirror
I'm not a hippie, moron.
No on the planet ever has replaced a "working reactor" with a more modern one.
Why? Because you earn more money with an old one instead of building a new one.
No idea what is worse about you, your insults or your lack of knowledge.
You seem not even to know what went wrong in Fukushima: hint, it was not the reactors fault, idiot!

The RDP protocol probably not. But there were remote 'control' programs, I think even Timbuktu, the famous one for Macs had a Win95 version.

Yeah, I agree.
But it was pretty smart and avanguard of him to come to that logical conclusion already two years ahead of us!
Don't you think so?
We already had a steam age around 100 BC.
