There are plenty of "robot trains" already. Some of the Paris Metro are, I believe in Toulouse all are, and in Bilbao I think they also are all robotic (not sure, a bit to long that I was there).
There is actually no big difference between RUP and XP/Scrum etc.
XP and Scrum basically say: the developers should pick from RUP what helps them to deliver robust software and omit stuff they don't need.
However: formal training is basically required all the time. E.g. which university student has used a version control system in a team? Most haven't... so they are used to commit without merging, and when they see a merge conflict they like to try "commit and overwrite"
A formal training for Scrum or other Agile methods etc. would be nice, too. As that can basically done in 2h - 3h.
After you vote for someone, he does what he wants. Not what you want. Not what you voted for.
Otherwise we had the green revolution in Germany already 40 years ago. Solar panels would have dropped to the prices we have right now 30 years ago.
It is the equivalent of banning cars because they didn't have seatbelts and airbags rather than letting an industry safely progress Those cars are banned since decades. Only after the invention and cost free licenses from the patent holder, new cars got seat belts mandatory and for about 10 years old cars did not need to upgrade.
The rest of your post I don't really understand:D Bad smell in the Ruhr are are usually attributed to coal and steel industries.
And perhaps you should read the articles you link. France is abandoning nuclear power less quickly than it had planned, they are still abandoning it, so I would say: you are lying... what is your agenda? What have you to gain from it?
BTW: the article is wrong anyway, France does no longer produce 75% of its power by nuclear power, that are old numbers, decades old.
If you don't believe facts, that is your problem, not mine. I did not count them, but for weeks a few hundred every day where public morned on the red place. Perhaps you can even find old newspaper articles about it:D
First off, the per capitia emissions does not matter. It is a totally worthless form of normalization WRT any form of pollution esp CO2. That is the only metric that matters. And the USA could easily reduce their per capita emissions to the same level without losing any standard of living: but you don't want to. And that is the reason why per capita is the only reasonable metric.
Germany is 45% and rising That is double wrong, it is around 39% and falling since 2 decades continuously.
In terms of Germany, they need a base-load system No, we don't need such a bollocks thing, actually there is no such system. You probably mean "base load plants", we have them already. And they are old. They get replaced by wind at the moment. You are mixing up "base load" with "dispatchable":D Modern grids won't have base load plants anymore.
Germany is fracking since 50 or 60 years. There is not much left to frack...
31% of Germanys gas import comes from Norway, another 31% from the Netherlands, both are above Russia. However we also import oil and coal from Russia.
On the other hand Germany emits a lot of uranium and other radiative elements into the atmosphere because they burn coal Any links for that? First of all: the air is scrubbed. There is close to no emissions. Secondly: not every coal contains uranium. And thirdly: they whole idea that coal would emit radioactive material in noticeable amounts got debunked 50 years ago. In Germany coal ash gets collected and either deposited or used for road constructions etc. That is why our cars are so fast: running on radioactive roads! Idiot.
The energy bill is the smallest part of a household bill. My beer consumption two weeks at home is already more than my power bill. If I go three days in a pub, I likely pay more than for one month for power.
The price of energy for an house hold is close to irrelevant.
And: the poor would get social aid if they indeed could not pay the bill.
Your ideas how "expensive the power in Germany" is completely misleading, as we don't need much electricity.
it becomes an ad hominem attack, which is a logical fallacy. Yes, it is listed in the list of fallacies.
However not every "insult" is an "ad hominem".
E.g. if I point out that someone is an idiot, then there is a chance that I'm right. When I'm right, then it is not an insult but a fact. And a fact is not a logical fallacy.
So you idiot have not even read the summary... For all their lofty goals, paranoia and empty gestures are all Germany has thus far achieved. The summary makes pretty clear that Germany is the leading country in the world regarding reduction of CO2 emissions. We are just not as good as we planned/hoped 20 years ago.
coal generated a lot more toxic, low-level waste than fission but thanks for playing. Any links for that, that are not debunked since 50 years? How old are you that you still believe such nonsense?
The nuclear FUD in Germany is well and truly a grass roots campaign led mostly by those who lived through the hysteria of Chernobyl. That is nonsense. The population is against nuclear power since the early 1970s, after the TMI incident it rapidly increase. Plenty of emergencies in plants that did not got reported (unlawful) and got discovered later made them lose the trust completely.
The actual protests on the ground and the driving force from the people in Germany who have no concept of risk management and just know they are surrounded by these nukular things they don't understand was incredible. That is nonsense.
Attempts to build a big reprocessing plant in Wackersdorf led to decades long protests and demonstrations. The government sent schock troops, police forces with only the order to beat down the demonstrations. Classmates of me, just 18 years old, escaped barely when a school class from the neighbour school got beaten into hospital by german police forces. A few years later they gave up on the reprocessing plant. Since 50 years we accumulate waste, have no idea where to store it, every attempt for "test storages" failed. Germany has right now close to 20k metric tons radioactive waste (not counting ten times as much from uranium mining)
Around 1980 the green party got founded, with one main goal to exit from nuclear power. When they managed to be in the government together with the central left SPD, they formulated the exit plan. That was around 1997 - 2000 the red/green government formulated a konsensus and laws to exit from nuclear power over the next decades. 2010 however a black(CDU)/yellow(FDP) coalation reformed the laws again and extended the runtime of the power plants for 10 or 20 more years. That lead to an outrage in the population.
Never underestimate the power of ignorance combined with technical media reporting. You are an idiot. We live in a democracy, and over a course of 50 - 70 years the population could not manage to get rid of nuclear power. Because: democracy does not work! THAT IS THE REASON WE DONT WANT NUCLEAR POWER ANYMORE. We worked so hard to get rid of it, and then Merkle in her wisdom extended the runtime, we tricked again.
If the reunification of east and west germany had not happened, we likely had have civil unrest, probably a mini revolution (because of plenty other problem, BaFoeg, housing crisis, unemployment etc. The Kohl government was simply completely unable to take care about german problems, however they run the european integration pretty fiercely)
Anyway: then came Fukushima, and we went back to the original plan of exiting.
Japan could ride the Fukushima disaster relatively good. Look on a map... if something like that happens in Germany, our country will end up as "non existing anymore". Idiot!
Then I want to see which European nations take up 40 million refugees...

You forget that the passengers are siting in an air tight capsule.
How did you come to those numbers? They make no sense to me. Why should there be a force higher than the atmospheric pressure?

No it does not.

The point should be obvious from the comment I responded to.
Germany reduced its CO2 emissions from power production quite nicely. However cars and industry not so much, and the house holds sector is stagnating.
So we missed or will miss our self set goals, and suddenly everyone freaks out ... we are still far ahead from anyone else.
I would suggest to stop using "lies" if you don't know what the word lie actually means: http://www.dictionary.com/brow...

France is not building new nuclear plants. ;D
At least not in France
30% of their plants are inactive right now.
Which part of: the clean up troops where conscripted soldiers did you miss?
They where basically all around 19 +/- 1.
Greenpeace and the WHO assume far above 1 million dead ... google yourself.

Germany is fracking since 50 or 60 years. ...
There is not much left to frack
31% of Germanys gas import comes from Norway, another 31% from the Netherlands, both are above Russia. However we also import oil and coal from Russia.
CO2 production is not only coal plants, it is also: cars, households, industries.
We are installing ore offshore wind.
On the other hand Germany emits a lot of uranium and other radiative elements into the atmosphere because they burn coal
Any links for that? First of all: the air is scrubbed. There is close to no emissions. Secondly: not every coal contains uranium. And thirdly: they whole idea that coal would emit radioactive material in noticeable amounts got debunked 50 years ago.
In Germany coal ash gets collected and either deposited or used for road constructions etc. That is why our cars are so fast: running on radioactive roads! Idiot.
France has the ONLY right idea for large nations. Nuclear, combined with AE, so that fossil fuels are gone.
You seem not to be aware that France is following Germanys lead and is exiting nuclear power, too, and building mainly wind and solar plants.
The energy bill is the smallest part of a household bill. My beer consumption two weeks at home is already more than my power bill. If I go three days in a pub, I likely pay more than for one month for power.

Your ideas how "expensive the power in Germany" is completely misleading, as we don't need much electricity.
We are replacing base load with wind.
The classical distinction between base load and peak load makes no longer sense in our times.

Yes, it is listed in the list of fallacies.
However not every "insult" is an "ad hominem".

That is not "nailed", that is simply wrong.
There is no and was never an "emergency move away from nuclear".
So you idiot have not even read the summary ...

It is actually hard to pick a recent year where anything was frozen, except Alps and other hights.
