This goes away in most countries. However, I live in Germany and the very day you learn what have been done 60 years ago you stop thinking that there is all good in the past. And when you get older and read the news you learn that the conduct of the country could undoubtedly be better. We are so famous about our ecological profile and we suck so much at this at the same time. And the propagate that we are a non violent country, but still we supported bombing in Yugoslavia or fight a stupid war in Afghanistan.
Even though the US has more weapons and more power and obviously they can, you can alienate more people at the same time.
Things get harder due to politics which propagates egoism dividing the population in winners and loosers. Then politics reduce social security systems, the number of policemen and many other things which helped to keep society together. And to complement that, they decided that the police and other forces of the state shall act more brutal.
As I know the EU they will write such letter and then the will threat the US not to cooperate. After that they will whine and then the will draw the line here and cancel the treaty. After that they will start new negotiations for a new treaty.
but what else could you do. We have to live together on this planet.
When we say America sucks then this refers in most times to the government of the USA. So please do not take that personal.;-) the same thing applies when we criticize the absence of a real social security system, foreign policy or environmental politics. On a personal level we should not throw stones as we are not better (what ever that really means) than US citizens.
I can either pay for the side effect of fossil fuel use or for the cost for storage and save keeping of nuclear waste (including my children have to pay for that too and their children). And when another plant fails I have to pay for the cleanup. Think of it: Nuclear plant do not need insurance, because if they would need one they would not be affordable. In the end nuclear power is not cheap you just have to pay for its cost through your taxes.
In that light the cost for sustainable energy systems is acceptable. It only means we need to be more energy efficient. And this is possible. The USA produce 19 t CO2 per person per capita [http://www.myclimatechange.net/default.aspx?cat=2&sub=4&subjectId=52] while Germany produces 10 t CO2 per capita or Canada 15 t CO2 per capita. And as these two other countries are similar in wealth they can easily be used for comparison. When the US would go from 19 t to 15 t or 10 t of CO2 than they would save a lot of money.
And beside that, nuclear energy is also limited by resources. Renewable energy is only limited by the sun (which is going to work for another billion years before we have to relocate).
You know when the plants contaminate the area, Japan has to resettle the people. And they have a small island where shall they put the people. They will loose agriculture they loose cities. And they will get more sick people due to radiation.
We have renewable energies available and they work. Just implement them. It is save and its worst case scenario does not include resettlement of people due to failure of hardware.
I do not know how people think in the US, but in many European countries the idea of nuclear plants even small ones or special sealed ones has not many friends. We have a dense population structure and therefor such things would be even closer to populated areas.With more of these things more can fail and even if their impact is smaller than that of failing reactors, they still can fail. If there is a worst case scenario with a broken containment which does harm to the environment we do not want it. As it has been shown that those things happen.
As population in many European states does not like nuclear power, nuclear power will not be used for more than 50 years.
As an astromech android it does not need to speak to humans, rather follow instructions. However, they could have added the necessary extra for a few imperial credits.
If we give someone an exclusive right to use something this already involves ethics. In the 19th century humans decided it is unethical to be able to use other people inventions without a fee. So the very core of patents is based on ethics even though nowadays this concept might be outdated, there are other ethical boundaries which affect what it patentable and what is not.
The idea of the court is, that you shall not make profit with embryos.
This upgrade orgy is a total waste of time. As it is to write this post. I guess it was fun doing it. However, it serves no purpose. In real setups the hard-drives changed the computer changed and the real problem was data migration. And it was always a mess. And it is still a mess. So my conclusion is: TheRasteri has too much time. And my advice get a girl/boy/whatever-friend. Hey its Friday.
As it is not responsible to use bio fuels, any percentage of butanol in gasoline will not make them environment friendly. Bio fuel is a) not environment friendly, as monocultures are used to produce the grain/corn/wheat/what ever with all their negative effects (e.g. pesticides, genetically modified crop) b) fertile land is used to produce fuel instead of feeding people
As bio fuel is not a sustainable energy source due to its use of farm land which should be used to feed the 7 billion people on this planet. Instead of bio fuel it is better to use wind, water and sunlight (e.g. in desserts, roofs etc.) which are not using fertile land for energy production. If driven a car or heating a house means someone else has nothing to eat than this is not a preferable solution. So by blocking research on bio fuels might even result in the right development after all. Even if that is not the intention of these oil companies.
I am much more concerned about human tendencies to do the wrong things for short term profit. Failing satellites are bad and if all of them fail at once, Internet bandwidth will go down and the weather forecast will become worse. Oh yes and I would have to ask people where to go instead of my navigation tool on my "smart" phone. But these effects are not that disturbing than the news about western governments which do not know what they should do about Egypt or Tunisia (just as an example).
So before I worry about solar activity, I worry about the void in our government heads.
$50 million is not that much. In Germany the investment in offshore wind energy in 2008 was € 25 000 million (approx $ 36 000 million). And Germany is only a small country and is not at the forefront of wind energy deployment. However, in Germany the owner of wind turbines get 9 cent per kWh at the beginning and 5 cent per kWh later as a guaranteed price for their electricity and if possible other plants have to reduce their output so that the electricity from renewable sources is consumed first. However, big coal, oil and nuclear plants cannot be stopped on short notice therefore wind turbines have to be stopped on occasion as there is not enough energy storage for the electricity overproduction.
We could repeat the same thing for Denmark another even smaller country or the Netherlands. They all have bigger budgets. Germany puts € 25 billions into offshore research. This includes building offshore plants. Sometimes I wonder why the US is loosing ground on civil technologies.
Why are you that worried? The Chinese do what all countries do. When the US gain intelligence on foreign technology they use it for themselves and for their personal benefit. They even transfer the knowledge to US-controlled companies. And in the US this is considered a good thing, because it is good for the US.
However, when another country is doing the same (or even when it looks like they did it in US media) it is evil.
If stealing secrets is evil then stop it. And if you can't don't point with the finger on others.
How the media reported that incident depended highly on the country you were living in. It was hard to believe that they hit the wrong building because they had wrong maps. As everyone knows were the embassy was. However, it was unkown to me that this could be in relationship to the crashed plane. It was rather considered that the US was upset on other Chinese reactions to the Yugoslavia war.
To make it short. Why in hell do they adopt a format which is not used in the western world and will most likely not succeed in Asia? As such India is heading for ODF and even though China has developed UOF they rather go for ODF than for OOXML.
I would go for dance moves. However, I know that they have to do a lot. At car crashes, bio hazards or even small fires in flats.
But a total burned down house is absolutely rare. When such things happens it is in the news in the evening. Same applies for blown up houses due to a gas leak. At least it is that way in my part of the world.
But then you would not buy the stuff. BTW it is no difference to other mobile ISPs like Vodaphone. The best thing would be: The EU commission kicks their butts and forces them to make it uncapped or stop advertising it that way. The commission tries to end roaming fees in Europe. As one single market and international telecom providers should result in international networks and therefore roaming is not necessary.
Until now, the US pays a lot of money to get scientist to work in the US, as the US does not educate enough scientists. When I look at the present politics and decision trends in the US, I doubt that the US has much use for those foreigners anymore. And that is not because the education system increased its output.
That the US have an extraordinary military budget (42% of the world expenses) and no real social and educational budget is nothing new. Still the collider thing is old and outdated. So the best is to stop it and spend the money on new experiments. Don't forget the LHC is an international project.

I am strongly against more nuclear plants. And as we have save renewable energy technology we should use that.

There is no single program on the world which can read and write the ISO certified OOXML correctly. Beside that, other countries like South Africa, Japan, France or Germany (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument#National_level and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenDocument_adoption).
To make it short. Why in hell do they adopt a format which is not used in the western world and will most likely not succeed in Asia? As such India is heading for ODF and even though China has developed UOF they rather go for ODF than for OOXML.
This is definitely not a logical decission.
