"The PEAK power production that solar propaganda keeps citing bears no relationship with either the total energy thus provided nor the actual usefulness of this energy"
No, and it doesn't because such a measurement is FUCKING USELESS. We're constantly improving solar materials (my research labs are covered with 40% efficient PV, and that's from TWO YEARS AGO) and PV is only getting better. Pretty soon, we'll be tossing these into space with modifications to capture more than UV-IR range.
But you're not someone with very much knowledge. You have to rely upon Wikipedia, which remains sorely outdated by almost TWO YEARS (and a published 2010 study was likely done in 2009 so make that nearly THREE years out of date.)
You're quite ill-informed. That wikducation doesn't help any extra, either, because you can't even be assed to check the age of the information.
You got a source on those stats? Germany's PV alone has produced more than Fukushima on several occasions. The total energy flux from the sun is 3.8 YJ/yr, dwarfing all non-renewable resources.
And I have research facilities run purely upon solar. I think you simply don't have a clue what you're talking about. In fact, your comment history throughout this thread pretty much confirms that you have no clue.
"most people have a lot better things to do in their lives."
Such as taking the 5 minutes it would require to learn how to set up WPA2 and get your computers connected and ensuring nobody else could (theoretically) get on your network and fuck with your property, identity, or worse?
Nope. Certain Pre-ban weaponry can be transferred/inherited without license.
I've got a few pre-80s automatic rifles that require no license, with extended magazines, select fire, and integrated flash suppressors. Hooray grandfather clause.
If I want to SELL those, OTOH, yes, I need a license.
A regular single-wave oscilloscope is not as good at one thing - stringed instruments.
I pick up/hear odd nuances that an analog scope won't show/pick up, but my digital 'tuner' program will easily show (as it renders the multiple waveforms it detects coming from the signal and very accurately reproduces them all on a graph so I know if I'm actually hearing what I think I'm hearing or not.)
You using chimps as an example when I used a totally different primate species rather invalidates your argument.
Chimpanzees aren't as intelligent as gorillas.

I have access to materials with over 1,000 w/mK thermal conductivity. Intel does not.
And I'm quite comfortable making about $15,000 USD daily. I'd rather not work for Intel. They rejected my stuff before, they pay the price for such rejection by being disallowed access to my technology.
Given the intelligence of most people on this planet, Wikipedia isn't very intelligent. It's also SLOW to pick up on the latest and greatest. And it's still sorely out of date on many topics.
Slashdot Mirror
Why, yes it does, and Peak Power is bullshit, because we're going to harvest more OUTSIDE of the atmosphere and beam it down.
Oh, didn't hear about that space-bound solar plant from Japan?
And in a good high orbit, there's 24-hour sun. No weather to affect it.
So ill-informed it's sad.
So ignorant of current endeavors and tech as to be laughably under-educated.
Which school did you attend? It needs to go on my scholarship blacklist.

Solar *IS* affordable fusion - free from that big fusion reactor in the sky.
Kill fucking Zynga.
"His two rules of eating: if it tastes good, spit it out."
That's why everything out of his power juicer is so delicious, eh?
The *REAL* phrase is "If you enjoy it, you can’t have it; if you don’t like it, you can eat all you want."
And it was penned by Mike Royko.
We already know it jets out of the star which is being born from the interstellar dust disk. Question answered. Next one, please.

"Only if you have a Federal Firearms License"
Nope. Certain Pre-ban weaponry can be transferred/inherited without license.
I've got a few pre-80s automatic rifles that require no license, with extended magazines, select fire, and integrated flash suppressors. Hooray grandfather clause.

"did the Government use this data in any criminal prosecutions? If it did then you'd be able to raise the 4th amendment as a defense"
No, we use the 4th amendment as an OFFENSE, not a defense.
Those rights exist to give us protection from the government, defensively or offensively.
The proper thing here is a major class-action suit by the PEOPLE, not by some lawyers.
Real people need to stand up, riot, and make it known that this will no longer be tolerated.
And sadly, there's no peaceful way around this. Civil war *MUST* happen in order for anything to get better.
"In Europe bank transfers are used for such and are entirely free for consumers"
Hi, this is America. Not Europe.
They charge us because they can. Bank transfers cost money. Money orders cost money. Everythign costs money.
And it will CONTINUE until the EU gets off its ass and invades the USA.
But you people won't do that, you're too placid and too cowardly, which means we'll be taking over your countries soon enough, just like we did Iraq.
And then YOU will be paying for bank transfers.
It's called market research. :D
"expensive to build, energy-hungry"
Hi, OTEC would like to say a few things to you.
It's not that difficult.
You have to hand it to us fashionable queers, we don't take this kind of shit lightly.
The problem lies within my guitar circuitry. Changing cable type only changes what I pick up.
Right now, I'm getting shortwave Russian radio.
"Now never mind power isn't in the signal chain"
60Hz power hum from shit-grounding is in fact the one and only thing audiophools are correct on. Power can be the issue in the signal chain.
A regular single-wave oscilloscope is not as good at one thing - stringed instruments.
I pick up/hear odd nuances that an analog scope won't show/pick up, but my digital 'tuner' program will easily show (as it renders the multiple waveforms it detects coming from the signal and very accurately reproduces them all on a graph so I know if I'm actually hearing what I think I'm hearing or not.)
APTuner FTW.
"Actually, no, wire cross section does matter, and thicker is better"
Except speakers are AC devices and as such a thinner wire means less skin effect.
"Trivially fixed with a bit of shielded coaxial cable"
Tried that and I went from picking up Mexican radio to church radio.
Glass has poor thermal conductivity. I don't think you even know what you're talking about.
To show what a scam cyber insurance really is.
