So? In that case the regular (coal) base load power plants would step into the breach. European power grid is quite stable, I can only remember two blackouts on the EU grid in last 10 years, and they were pretty short.
I used to have a Georgian girlfriend who was a pc game developer at that time (6 years ago). She told me that it was quite difficult to work when there is no electricity for hours every day. In the capital, that is. IP protection was non-existant, skilled workers were scarse and the judical system was as friendly as money could buy.
You'll lose the bet. Anyway, most things people do have nothing to do with any depth whatsoever and the most reasons are invented after the fact to explain the action.
The whole point of going to the cinema is to watch the movie on a huge screen. If you just want to watch a DVD, there is no particular reason to watch it as the same time as it runs in the cinema, you can just as well wait a couple of months for the release anyway.
As many have already mentioned, Hitler was a Catholic. But nobody has mentioned yet that Stalin attended a theological school and then a theological university, originally going to become an orthodox priest.
I see. But then, since they are already tracking the convicts - I mean, they aren't using those GPS receivers just for navigation - the data has got to be stored somewhere.
The GPS devices don't request their position from a satellite. They triangulate their position from the time differences between signals from a bunch of satellites so a GPS tracking device has to either log the current position every one and then (offline tracking) or it is actually a GPS/GSM (or whatever mobile communication system is used) online tracking device which periodically sends its position data to some remote box.
Sorry for nitpicking, but I am working in the vehicle tracking field for 7 years now.
So basically you want to say that low taxes lead to economy growth and less tax evasion?
Well, Ukraine is the best counterexample. Flat 17% income tax, but pretty much nobody pays it and the economy is in ruins. And all that despite Ukraine having great premises for agriculture, lots of natural resources and also despite it has inherited an enormous chunk of the Soviet industry.
You see, most corporations and many people will try to evade taxes no matter how low they are.
The deal is the widespread tax evasion in Ukraine. Not widespread as "German federal states are buying the Swiss bank account CD and expect a rise of self reports" but as in "Taxes? Somebody actually pays taxes in this country?"
It doesn't take that long. I used to do judo but after a couple of broken relationships I just sat at home (and at work), read books and eat. I've gained almost 50 kg in just 5 years and could barely walk 200 meters. Once you are fat you can get sleep apnoea, and once you have that, it is almost impossible to lose weight without doing something against it.
Once you can sleep properly it is much easier to lose all that fat and start living again, though. Just walked 4 km and feeling good:-)
Well, there are actually many people who happen to like Windows Mobile because they prefer a handheld personal computer to a phone or an appliance, and this is exactly what Windows Mobile gives you.
I've used Windows Mobile phones since, oh, 2004. They had their share of problems, but most of them were due to faulty hardware. I mean, even my mother has got two Windows Mobile phones and never had problems with those.
I've got a bunch of Windows Mobile applications which were made for a 200x320 screen and the Pocket PC 2002 operating system and they work just fine on my HD2 with Windows Mobile 6.5 and a 480x800 screen.
The developers have somehow managed it all those years, hell, I was a Windows Mobile developer myself. It is not that difficult to make an application work with different OS versions and different resolutions.

Comparing a non-touchscreen phone with a touchscreen one is stupid.
There are always possibilities, like heating water and storing the heated water underground, or the zinc - zinc oxide cycle.

Killing someone in self defence has got nothing to do with society, that is the reason why it is called self defence.
You'll lose the bet.

It is not that simple. A civilized society doesn't kill people.

Sort of. Depending on where you live. Also many family names started being just patronymics. This is true for both Russian and Scandinavian ones.

Not necessarily. Many mudra for example are made with hand movements only.

Dude, HTC has sold PDA phones four years before Apple. Who is imitating whom?
And by the same logic, if you don't want to be mugged on the street you should stay at home.
Get a used Toshiba E800, the device is very good for reading and quite cheap.
When Apple releases the iCar, which can go only straight, the Apple fanbois will shout that it just works and they don't need to turn anyway.
As I already mentioned, Evo 4G is not the first WiMAX phone, HTC already sells a WiMAX phone (Max 4G) for over a year.
Anecdotes can get you only so far - a colleague curses quite often at his iPhone because it locks up or crashes every now and then.

So if your landlord wants you to pay the rent, he is suddenly a socialist and taxes you?
I am impressed.
