  1. you miss point, stealing neighbor's electricity not confined to first world at all. not a 'first world problem" as the third world also has electricity

    nonsense, it generally takes twice the ram and twice the CPU power to do the same job on windows as another OS. No website has ever brought my machine to a crawl like Microsoft's inefficient C++ bloatware with its dozens of layers of unnecessary objects

    wrong, they are just requiring machines that have 32x time power than what was required to run office 2003

    no, they are almost at the limit of physics for CMOS. At 10nm gate thickness becomes a monolayer, and quantum tunneling significant problem.

    some exciting alternative technologies exist though.

    wrong. your reading comprehension is abysmal. The number of transistors doubling says NOTHING about density, only the number of transistors without any mention of area taken. Speed is not mentioned at all.

    the most bloated crap on the planet is written in c/c++, by Microsoft

    putting web facing services into C is just asking for exploits due to the languages deficiencies (no size or limit checking, etc.). Hell most malware today propogates by about a dozen common mistakes that "genius" programmers make again and again because they're so clever they are morons

    in other words, an experiment with some hope of relevance to solving problem of actually growing crops on the moon. yes, thank you for your perception.

    you are wrong, the two-legged vermin who do such things don't care if their victims live or die, and they are repeat offenders. they will commit their crimes again and again leaving a trail of broken victims. they are garbage, you are merely spouting romantic ideas that would change in an instant if you saw someone you cared about horribly hurt for someones lust for some minor thing .

    No, you lead a sheltered life, the kind of people who do such things do it again and again, maiming and killing others their whole lives. it's a good thing when they are put down, it saves lives, prevents maimings.

    I've seen this with Windows too, Microsoft gets things in their UI working half right and then someone over there in Redmond gets a brain fart and the whole thing falls apart again.

    China has said by 2025 they will put man on moon, look it up.
    The Proton rocket used to send up parts of the ISS had twice the payload capacity for LEO as this Chinese rocket. And the ISS is not the kind of station that can assemble lunar rockets.

    China has a long, long way to go.
