  1. Re:The russians are partly to blame on Europe Warms to Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    yep, but noone in germany takes them seriously. russia was a reliable gas partner in the past and it will be in the future. the former german chancellor sitting in the directorate of gasprom and that new pipeline will sure help.

    they are shabby built, have different functionality and have no warranty.

    here you can see a picture of a fake usb bluetooth adapter. as you can see the antenna is a dummy, the only antenna it has is "drawn" on the pcb. also the bluetooth stack is a different one.

    the dispute will be forgotten fast. russia is a reliable partner for the europe and ukraina cannot afford stealing european gas for long because of all of the support ukraina receives from europe.

  4. Re:GAS Alternatives on Europe Warms to Nuclear Power · · Score: 1

    the issues between russia and ukraina shouldn't bother the rest of europe much. as we all could see ukraine cannot afford to shutdown the pipeline and also cannot afford to steal gas for longer than two days. and even if ukraine really tries to hinder gas distribution, there is still a pipeline throgh belarus which is leased by gasprom for 40+ years and soon there will be a pipeline under the baltic sea.

    with all that and with the fact that europe imports only about 30% of its gas from russia it is a non-issue really for most of the european governments except of some minor and full of hot air politicians.

    If we're going to make a 0.81% BAC illegal (and punish it with major fines), should we not also have the same punishments for driving while having the sniffles, or while being 51? no. because noone forces you to drink alcohol. it is your choice to drink so when you drink alcohol you deliberately make yourself unsafe for driving. you could have avoided it with just not drinking but you have chosen not to. now if you don't want to become older than 50 you have to commit suicide or to get yourself killed.

    not that many died in the famine.

    ukraine 1932: born 780000 died 668000
    ukraine 1933: born 359000 died 1300000

    and that are all deaths. of old age, of murder and of course, of the famine.
    ussr was a very buerocratic state, such things were very well documented. during cold war the west could only estimate such things, now many old ussr archives are open and you can really see that the estimates were wrong on orders of magnitude.

    my grandparents lived in the ukraine at that famine time by the way. it was bad, but not nearly as bad as it is sometimes described.

  12. very very wrong. on Share Your Most Dangerous Idea · · Score: 1

    according to the new accurate data acquired from the old soviet intelligence service files only about 1.4 millions died because of stalin's repressions and about a million died because of famine in winter 1932/1933. that is kind of all.

    but even if you hadn't that new data, stalin's victims never ever can number as high as 50 millions, because, adding the 20 millions soviet sitizens who were killed by germans in ww2 this would be 70 millions, exactly the half of the whole soviet population back those days.
