A really good tea tastes best when it is warm, not hot, because the higher temperature doesn't allow you to taste all the nuances.
I drink a lot of tea, about 2 liters a day. Many kinds of tea, really - Japanese and Chinese green tea, Oolong from India, China, Taiwan and Indonesia, black tea from India, Indonesia and Nepal... all of them definitely warm, not hot, because, while I drink a lot of tea, its taste is most important to me.
Chances are, it won't. I still can hear it in my thirties and my boss is almost fifty and can hear them even better. And we both not only go to rock concerts, but even sometimes participate in them.
There were no native 32 bit applications for Windows 3.1 since it was a 16 bit operating system. Sure, there was the Win32s runtime which allowed some NT applications to run on Windows 3.1, but it was more a dirty hack than anything else.
Only that you don't find one kilogram of natural uranium sitting around just like that. You've got to separate it from the actual rock by chemically dissolving it with acid, then extracting yellowcake from that solution, and then extract natural uranium from that.
It is far easier and cheaper to mine and burn 14 tons of coal than one kilogram of uranium. Which is reflected by the price: one kilogram of unprocessed pitchblende costs around EUR 100. For that money can get up to 5 tons of coal - depending on the quality, amount of stored energy and sulfur content - ready to burn.
Yes, and you don't have to mine uranium at all, it just magically appears in the fuel elements. Not.
Uranium mining is much worse than coal mining because of radon, radioactive dust and contaminated water. And since uranium is not quite a common element you've got to go through a lot of rock to extract a bit of uranium.
There was no population growth in Germany for almost 40 years.
And peak power production actually matters, because it can be exported for good money since peak electricity is the most expensive kind. Baseload is cheap.
Ukraine can buy gas from Turkmenistan - the gas from there is cheap. Unfortunately, the dentist who rules that country wants to get paid in real money instead of promises.
Which is, for Germany, an easy thing to do, since the benchmark for the Kyoto protocol was the emission level of 1990, that is for FRG and GDR together. The GDR emissions were bad and most of its industry was closed after the reunion, so Germany does have an unfair advantage in this case.
The day Germany finally phases out coal would be the day coal runs out - or fusion power plants finally generate all the baseload - whichever comes first.
I do not own a car, but I know these, I used to live about 40 km away from them. Since brown coal is the most abundand local fossil fuel, it will be used until it runs out, alone for the reasons of partial energy independence.
More like 22%, barely more than from renewables. And it is pretty manageable. We've got only four of 17 nuclear reactors running for a full week already, no blackouts at all. Too funny actually, because the nuclear lobby has prophecied the end of the world starting 21.05.2011. I guess they now have to wait until 2012, just as the rest of the world;-)
They use chemical extraction, not breeding reactors. While this helps to recover uranium, you still have other actinides and all the fission products left to deal with.
I know how it looks like, had two of them. It was a very good device, actually. As for Apple copying HTC - well, iPhone had a touchscreen of the same size and also rounded corners. As this old HTC phone did. Apple's argumentation about Samsung is more or less in the same ballpark.
That is the theory. In the practice there are currently only three breeding reactors online, one in India, one in Russia and one in Japan (that one had a previous sodium leak and fire). What makes things even worse, two of these three are research reactors, only the russian one is the real deal.
Breeding reactors are very expensive and complicated to operate, it is far cheaper to dump spent fuel somewhere. So yes, it is waste.

Definitely not yoghurt because yoghurt from unpasteurized milk would leave you the whole day sitting on the pot trying to shit your guts out.
In fact, even pasteurized milk is somewhat dangerous as yoghurt base, UHT is safer.

There is also Firefox for Android nowadays. It is somewhat ugly, but some things do work better than in the stock Android browser.
Yep, same here. And I don't even have a very common name, it found only 6 people with the same name.

Yep, Loreena McKennitt FTW!

Do you think Klaus Traube had no halfway-useful education?
He thinks your proposal to build new nuclear power plants is retarted. And he should know, since he is definitely not an armchair nuclear engineer.

I would not bet on it since the production continues the move to China, as it happens in most industrial countries.

Well, right now three quarters of German nuke power plants are shut down - some for maintenance, some for good. As you can see my PC is still powered.

Actually 20 minutes in the autoclave makes meat very tender and it is quite tasty that way.
Is it a royal "we" or it is your split personality speaking?
I am all for forcing nuclear power plant oprators to rebreed their spent fuel. But such a law would force them out of business immediately.

By that argument the iPhone was a blatant ripoff of a HTC Himalaya.
