But if you start investing money you find quickly that new nuclear plants are not cost effective. Nuclear is only cheap if you run the old, crappy, amortized plants.
That's not a contradiction. They can be a net exporter to Germany and an overall net importer. The one big advantage that Europe has is a good grid so they can balance power from Spain to Scandinavia.
So how much of that population is fed by oil? The "Green Revolution" was a fossil fuel revolution. Take away the fossil fuel and you're back to the 1-2 billion baseline.
Of course! *I* am not a terrorist, but every place around me is crawling with terrorists (or so the media and politicians tell me), so everybody else must be screened. Simple, isn't it?
"QED - The Strange Theory of Light and Matter" by Feynman has a very accessible description. A quantum is a particle that has a phase. He symbolizes that with an arrow on a clock face IIRC.
Just because MS got it wrong doesn't mean Linux should copy that behavior and become incompatible to the rest of the POSIX world. Most apps already do case insensitive sorts and matches in their UI.
I don't know what kind of manual comes with an iPhone, but the one that came with my Android phone was useless. OTOH, the manual that came with my Canon point-and-shoot camera is exhausting to read, explaining every single action and its possible outcomes. I want a tl;dr version.
If you design a system, "us"=="techie". What you need is usability studies with people who are not technical. We generally sit one of our admins in front of the system and ask her to do certain things. For consumer products, the designers should probably do that with their parents or grandparents.

Wind energy is cheaper now than nuclear (and the "But it's not for base load!!!1!" argument is bogus.)

None because you don't run interactive processes on a cluster but instead submit a package to the job scheduler.
You can always submit an ed script.
How about an animated GIF of the monkey dance?
Yeah they should hire some attractive 20-ish female agents and the whole issue would be moot.

The Higgs boson creates a field. That doesn't mean that every particle contains a Higgs.

+5.
Remember when Sony products were cool because they were innovative? Today you're outing yourself as a mindless consumer if you buy anything Sony.
The Japan situation shows that nuclear power is safe
Starting with an obvious untruth devalues your post although the rest makes sense.
Any technology is only as safe as engineering makes it.
>Being old doesnt prevent you from doing any of this
It does if you're halfway down the road to Alzheimer's.

So what happened to Lua support in GRUB? I saw some pretty nifty things done with that.
Bah. Newfangled crap. I'll stick to COBOL, thank you very much.
An electric monster truck would be even worse.
The comparison works only for the same car mass.
Bad news for us biological machines that convert caffeine into code:

If there was a crack at the bottom of the RPV, the pressure would have pushed water out rather quickly.
You shouldn't have tried Natty. You need a real GPU for that newfangled Wayland thing.
Yes! Obviously anybody who has a different opinion than I must be lying.
