There is no particular Merkel policy. Germany should have stopped funding coal mines 40 years ago. But alas! Cold war! We need our mines! That made them not doing it, and around the 1980s Germany was slow to adapt to global changes, so again they said: lets at least keep the mines. Funny: the amount of workers is super small, regardless what they vote, it has no influence on any election. But stating in public, you keep the mines running, makes everyone else voting for you. The Baker, the Butcher, the small shop owner...

On the contrary, I see the concern for consistency and the care about backward compatibility as huge advantages of the Win32 platform over the Apple offering, both for programmers and for users. Then you are obviously not in the software business and not a demanding computer user either.
There are plenty more than Omni etc. just browse the Application store for Applications for Macs.
Funny about Omni is, I pointed out in several emails that time in Germany e.g. in worksheets is written with an H (hora) for hours, not an S (Stunden). However the guy doing the translations insists on using S instead of H for timespans, times etc. Hence no one in corporate business buys the license for OmniOutliner... a printout with S instead of H is completely useless. A year that is not a leap year has 8760H, not 8760S... no idea why american "translators" don't get that.
Hm, that was ten years ago, perhaps I should check if they fixed it...
I'm sorry for your dog. I'm sure your cat liked him. Probably more than she like(d/s) you. But well, so are the cats. My cat does not allow me to come closer than 1m to her... problem probably is: she does not know she is my cat.
I always thought you where a troll. Telling us you live in China, but having a "sex doll, too" and your wife is fine with it. Your half german ancestry (or do I mix you up?) Your weird stance to nuclear energy and renewables.
But know we know: you are a trollll!
Who in his sane mind runs Emacs on a Mac? Vim is preinstalled! And you can get GVim... just download it!!
In case you need mental help, don't be despaired, brother! I call you now my brother, as it is common in asian countries, I can help you to get over your Emacs addiction!!/me Angelo sits down and crosses his legs, folding his hands in his lap. Meditating: the evil of Emacs is still around? It now is invading the Mac ecosphere? What can I mere mortal do about it... lets relax...
I spare me the usual answer on posts like this (but as you are curious I write it here: why would anyone want/need this?) So: which other editor supports different syntax highlighting for keywords based on the leading (, { or [ ?
I started a few years ago to disable all highlighting, except for having some things bold or underlined. Syntax highlighting might once have been a good idea... but the colour noise a typical IDE produces in our days is completely useless.
In early Java coding styles it was promoted to have constants in ALL_CAPS... coming from the C habit to have #defines in ALL_CAPS. As I had far over 10 years of C++ behind me, and was heavily influenced by Apple/Taligent and other C+++ "guru" we obviously used CamelCase, kNoCaps for constants and eWhatAnExitingLive for enums. (aMyAttribute for attributes of a class and pWhatTheFunkAreYouDoingWithMe for parameters of methods), some people used itsMyDiameter for attributes, though (in Android many use "me", which is retarded inglish imho, yes, I often read out loud code... )
So: why the funk do IDEs colour constants, when it is completely obvious from the name that it is a constant?
And you have an even more "strange" requirement for syntax highlighting? Please explain yourself!
Well, But I do recall a number of Mac proponents asserting that the GUI was vastly superior to command-line, The command line has two superior usages: shell (as in dealing with files, but also scripting which boils down to using files) and vi(m). I hardly can imagine another use for it, the occasional SQL I do in a "command line window" in an IDE, not in a terminal window. And here we have it: window. GUI already. And your posted the post I reply to... in lynx? Likely not. Well, I certainly not. But it would be funny to see/. in a terminal based browser I think... I try it next days.
I had Mac OS (several), A/UX and another unix system on my SE (with an 68030 extension card), and another third party unix, I don't remember the name, starts with a T, I think (I'm not at home or I could go into the cellar and check as I still have the box). And later Linux 68k.
On the other hand, Mac OS up to System 6/System 7 was a fine system. The alternative was either Windows (3.0 - 3.11, Win 32) or a Workstation, like an Apollo or SGi. With alternative I mean: "the other thing", obviously windows was not an alternative to anything...
The car uses about 20 HP to maintain cruising speed. Is it wasting three times that amount as heat? Probably not. Let's say it's wasting 5 HP as tailpipe heat. Probably: yes. A car uses an internal combustion engine. Those have efficiencies (in that horse power range) of about 19%. So: 80% of the power is exhausted as heat. Obviously that all changes with hybrid drives etc. So bottom line you are right, but the idea of your parent was neat anyway, perhaps a bigger battery (many pure combustion driven cars have an oversized battery and regenerate energy during braking because the over all electricity demand in a modern car [e.g. AC] is s high that regenerative breaking saves fuel) and a smaller alternator will work fine.
Depending on the country, a 5th grade education is not that bad. I knew "everything" about nuclear reactors already at that age. Might have helped that we had a nuke on the other side of the river and that they handed out booklets for kids to learn about nuclear power and how safe it is. So my father saw me reading once when I planned my first moon base and wondered where exactly to put the reactor, and he asked: "so what are we going to do about the waste?" Anyway, we started with biology, physics and chemistry in 5th grade. No idea at what grade you start in your country.
Who is better? a) An anti nuclear nimby who nows nothing about it b) A pro nuclear idiot who knows nothing about it ???
Both vote. Some guys in the b) bracket even get hired... and there is the problem.
From a risk management point of view: b) is the bigger risk.
Obviously there are two other groups: c) Anti nuclear protagonists who actually know their stuff, like Merkel d) Pro nuclear protagonists who know their stuff (don't know/remember one in that bracket... if you would not write so much nonsense about nuclear, I perhaps had put you here)
Regardless what you melt, the efficiency will only be around 40% or lower. (Thermodynamics... you know, the laws no one grasps)
A fly wheel is 99% efficient... approaching 100% slowly (General physics, law of conservation of energy... the most important law, I wonder why no one grasps it on/. either)
The problem is that grid stability is compromised [powerengineeringint.com] by renewables. No, it is not.
For the grid there is no difference when during super bowl at the first add pause a million people walk to the fridge, take something, close it, the fridge starts cooling a minute later versus a sudden cloud over a solar plant or a drop of wind over a wind plant. Except: there is no sudden cloud over a solar plant or a sudden drop in wind. Power plants like that are run on weather/wind/sun/cloud prognosis. The margin of error for the next 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 60 minutes in prediction of your yield is not even 1%. You can easily prepare your pumped storage or gas turbines ahead of time. Actually you prepare the whole grid ahead of time.
pumped storage MAY do it (but that's a big no-no for most environmentalists as well) Pumped storage and batteries are the same. No idea why you think one can do it and one can not.
People actually love pumped storage, as it creates artificial lakes. And that is most everywhere a bonus for wild live and nature.
Nuclear's is north of 90%. So our 5% deployed nuclear generates 9% of our energy, but 18% of deployed renewables generates 5% of the power. Either way the real problem is the batteries needed to handle renewable deployments of more than about 20% energy generation. Without those batteries, its nuclear or natural gas. And from what would you charge the batteries?
Obviously as long as your renewable contribution to the grid is below base load, "batteries" only make sense in "strange market situations" as in mid day time, all power plants are close to the maximum, pumped storages are full, suddenly you have excess unpredicted wind power (that actually never happens) then you had use for a battery.
Sure, as Elons project in Australia shows: batteries can be used efficiently in a grid. However that project is not because of renewables... they store excess conventional power in the batteries.
Then again, in Germany e.g., the push is towards self sustaining houses, with enough solar power and a battery. So on a small scale, independent from looking at the big scale of a grid, batteries already make sense. However for accompanying a wind farm, batteries only very rarely make sense. At the moment. But when renewable contribution to the grid reaches 50% (or what ever your base load is) it makes more and more sense.
evil totalitarian coomunist regime that has a dictator-for-life and is trying to spread its influence globally. Most Chineses don't consider their regime evil. However they consider a Bush Aristocraty evil... and now the obviously evil Trump.
Bill Gates got rich in America, selling products to Americans. If he had a shred of decency and loaylty, he would do his research in America with American workers. In a fucked up society as that of America, he can not find those workers. To make grand scale changes to the planet, a few dozen americans who managed to finish an expensive university, don't cut it. You need hundreds or thousands of them.
Just because they aren't shooting at us (yet) doesn't make them an ally, or even a remotely-friendly country. Actually it is. The only outward aggression of china was when Mao anexed Tibet. They have for thousands of years the tradition: leave us alone, we leave you alone. But the British, the French and later the Americans messed that up. Of course there is Dchingis Khan... but he was a Mongol.
(enriched Uranium is almost all U-235 and very little U-238). For a bomb, yes. For a reactor: no. U-235 percentage is in the range of 4% - 6%... in an unused fuel rod. And goes down to about 2% - 3% in a spent fuel rod. That is why myracyly reprocessing produces more waste than it recovers fuel and only makes sense if you actually want the traces of Plutonium.
The rest of your post is more or less gibberish, perhaps you want to read up again how fission in older reactors works?
I think you are confusing North Dakota with Canada. You can not blame your parent for that. After all if you look on an old paper map, they most likely are on the same page sometimes!
