Here's the deal though. The deal would be that you start reading up how nuclear power works, what is mined, how it is processed, what the waste is and what the costs are. It is embarrassing that you post this nonsense since two years, get corrected 100 times per thread, but insist to learn nothing.
If I was your son/daughter I would be to embarrassed to go to school. Nobody can be as dumb as you are pretending to be; unless he is a professional troll or payed agitator for nuclear power (the later is unlikely as no power company outside China is anymore investing into nuclear power)
"And if he wants/needs a laptop... who are you to argue about it?" What is wrong about this?
"And then again: attracting thieves... then work on changing your society. I never heard about a 14 year old getting his laptop stolen in school... or in a school bus." What is wrong about this? I can swear I never have heard about such a thing:P
You have any number supporting that? I'm not aware of a single case of death in Germany regarding solar or wind installations... What should be the cause of their death? Thin air?
One major difference between a passenger jet and a nuclear reactor is the reactor isn't six miles in the air with no where to land for hundreds of miles. The other majour difference is: a plane crash kills up to 1000 in the plane and a few hundred on the ground. A nuclear power plant failure potentially kills millions.
Anyway, the discussion is moot. If you have the money to build enough nuclear plants to replace all CO2 producing plants, you would be an idiot if you did not put the money into wind and solar and hydro or bio mass.
But we all know: you would be an idiot who is going for the nukes, you told us often enough;D
We should be designing a nuclear power plant, and building hundreds of identical ones in exactly the same way. And if they fail all in the same way, the people around them are...
If solar plants fail, or wind plants, no one dies...
Basically same for me. But I live in germany and used to read in german. That creates several problems: 1) sometimes bad translations (how can one be so stupid to mix up a gravity field with a magnetic field? That was a book of Arthur C Clark, I doubt he made the mistake) 2) only the best sellers get translated, so if in a series of C. J. Cherryh one book does not sell good enough, it is not translated, in other words: you can not read/buy the whole set of sequels 3) time... a book from 2) might be translated 5 years later... sorry, I read about books, and like to read them ASAP 4) price... simple paper backs are now at the $10 edge 5) even ebooks have often absurd prices, close to the hard cover price, obviously people are paying such prices
So I switched to english, about 15 years ago, did not buy a german (translated) book since a decade or longer. Right now I mainly get cost free ebooks, e.g. from oboooko.com If they have sequels in the price range of $0.99 - roughly $3.99 I buy them often. In rare cases I payed more. E.g. the 'In her name' series of Michael R. Hicks. One of the best books/story lines I have ever read.
They would not sterilize the galaxy. They only would kill life on the side of the planet facing the burst. Hence half of the landmass and most of the water life will be unharmed.
On top of that: a gamma burst will basically escape along the rotation axis of the object that is emitting it. Which is an extremely small beam.
Sports and if you want music is important. But there is nothing worse for a child not to be allowed to play with its friends. Regardless of RL or online. Preventing a child to play its favourite online games with his friends is the most stupid thing you can do as a parent.
In our times it hardly makes any sense to build your own PC. When you have thought about it, one week, two weeks, what components to use, and finally have bought them and then another day to build the PC... it is already outdated.
Just buy some off the shelf thing.
And if he wants/needs a laptop... who are you to argue about it? And then again: attracting thieves... then work on changing your society. I never heard about a 14 year old getting his laptop stolen in school... or in a school bus.
On a Mac no one is using the desktop. The windows of various applications are always covering it.
The root directory in a Mac is / Just like on any unix.
The 'desktop' is a folder in your home directory.
No idea where you got your nonsense from.
You can put multiple copies of the same app or file in multiple folders/home screens, or even create links to two completely different folders to each other so you can quickly navigate between the two even though their paths are completely different. Windows can only create real links as super user, otherwise they are just aliases. Multiple copies of the same app are no problem for OS X, why should it? They are just files...
OS X/iOS lacks this abstraction layer (except as an advanced topic - aliases) That is nonsense. You can have unix links and OS X finder aliases, just like on Windows.
Basically everything you write is nonsense and makes clear you don't know how a computer works.
FB is not a news source. And I don't know anyone who is using it for news. But well, I live in Europe. Perhaps for Europeans FB looks different than for Americans?
(Hint: in case you don't get it, FB does not show anything that remotely resembles 'news' to me )
In Germany/France a reservation gets void 15 minutes after the appointed time. I never saw a queue in front of a restaurant anyway. And clubs that fancy queues I don't visit... not worth it anyway as they close in a few months:)

According to this: https://blockchain.info/de/cha...
we have up to 350k transactions per day. (This has similar numbers: https://www.quandl.com/data/BC...)
So we "waste" 350,000 weeks of american households energy, per day.
Where on the planet are the power plants supporting that?

They are Belgic, everyone knows that.
DevOps jobs usually involve scripting languages, Shell and Python, depending on the tools you use you could also stumble over Ruby.
Android is supporting Go since years.
I'm just lazy in updating my /. signature.
I mostly read free ebooks, as most ebook shops have free books all the time. I'm on several mailing lists that promote free ebooks.
Regarding the 'first post', I would not mind if questions like this, especially with hints what to read, are asked/posted once a month.
The last really good big thing I read was a triology from Andreas Christensen, Exodus, Rift, Alive. I believe the first one is Rift.
About 0.5 - 1% performance loss, like since ... decades?

The standard file system on Mac OS X is case insensitive, too.

Everybody in this decades is associating 'PC' with Windows.
If you can not deal with that you have a mental problem.
Helvetica is a sans serif, proportional font.
I know it since 30 years, it never needed anti aliasing.
Self driving cars are not driven by AI but by self driving car algorithms.
Hm, was not even aware you could 'follow' CNN or BBC on FB.
And: why would you do that instead of going to cnn.com or bbc.co.uk?
FB is not a news source.
And I don't know anyone who is using it for news.

Exactly.
When I go into a restaurant in the evening, I sit for hours.
If I'm acquainted with the staff/owner I often stay till it closes.
