  1. The DMCA did not protect anything in that case.
    Perhaps you should stop using the abreviation which you obviously don't know what it means. Hint: the D in DMCA stands for digital.
    Books written nearly 100 years ago are not digital ...

  2. Hae?
    The cheats in question are most likely build into the game.
    And as long as it is not a multiplayer game, who cares what other cheat tools he is using to 'to have fun'?

  3. It is pretty hard to imagine a situation where a 'cheat tool' can be a copyright infringement.

  4. For you as the owner of the battery, it costs nothing. You just deposit it.
    For battery manufactors it is cheaper than digging the minerals out of the ground.
    Recycling is always cheaper than doing the whole digging, refining, transporting etc. stuff.

    An EV is about 4 times as efficient than an ICE.
    No idea where you got that 90% transmission losses from ... and why they apply for an EV but nit your lights, your cooking oven and your TV.
    And where did you get the 40% for an diesel engine from? It is just around 20% and gasoline is slightly below.
    Only very few specialized engines are touching or even exceeding the 40% margin.

    No idea who pays you to spread such nonsense/FUD.

    Sorry, you are nitpicking again.

    No one is asking you when you are conscious if you are able to press a bandage on your wound.

    They ask you if you want be revived after you passed out. This is the the topic of the discussion.

    Claiming that you don't want to be revived while awake and most likely want while you are unconscious is nonsense.

    At those extreme ranges, the losses are going to be the biggest issue.

    So, why do the guys who conducted the experiment call it a failure then?
    For starters: they had atmosphere problems, it was not self contained as in food as they planned originally ... so: a failure.

    That is wrong.
    Why don't you read something sbout it?
    Transmission losses are in the 5% - 7% range.
    The longer the distance the higher you make the voltage, and you stay in those limits.

    then I finally know who to blame.

    I'm a sailor with SRC license. It drives me nuts that stupid americans removed workd wide the requirements to learn morse code for their licenses,

    In our days no one can use it anymore unless he is a professioanl sailor.

    I hope licensing agencies will put Morse code back into the licenses requirements ... heck you can not even learn it anymore anywhere!

    Then again, we don't actually HAVE magnetically confined plasma shielding yet, we just know it's possible.
    Hu? You never hold a magnet in your hands?
    Never heard about electro magnets and electric engines?
    Having an magnetic shield is suoer simple, no idea why you think 'we don't have it'.

    The peercentage of CO2 is super low, so the O2 produced from it is super low, too. No idea again for what you are aiming here.

    Biosphere 2 was not the first one, as the number 2 clearly indicates.
    Both, Biosphere 1 and Biosphere 2 were failures.
