Yes but you will break no law if you burn yourself. The regulations are all about interference.

So when is the new Nexus coming out?

Over all I found the 6 to be a lack luster announcement. Nothing really new was announced.

So you want to hire and train people to run unused natural gas terminals? And how else does a tanker of natural gas get delivered but to a port?

Because solar and wind will not replace coal only nuclear, natural gas, or if you are lucky hydro. They use actually gets about a third of it's electrical power from non carbon producing methods and is growing that very quickly.
Anti-nuclear is pro carbon. It is as simple as that.

". Radio licensing is largely about safety with regards to high power transmissions since RF can burn and kill you (it is a form of electricity), and slackjawed mouth breathing fools have a tendency for "hold my beer, watch this" moments."
As opposed to know it all geeks that have hay this is cool moments.

Wow Radio Licensing is not largely about safety it is about interference. You do not want some self entitled libertarian deciding that they should black out the local TV station AKA "Max Headroom" or jam the police and fire departments communications, or any number of dumb things.
It takes A LOT of RF to burn you. It only takes a few watts of power to make problems for a 4 block radius.

So the "Green" party would have replaced the nuclear plants with coal....
And yet you feel this somehow changes my statement that it is useless?
Can we just replace Green with fear party and be done with it. Imagine if they had replaced the coal plants with solar and kept the nuclear.

"Liberty Cabbage" was the nom-de-nonsensical-nationalism in those days.

So the solar program has not reduced the amount of the coal used at all? Instead it replaced the super low carbon nuclear plants?
That is about the most useless thing I have ever heard.

He was jailed for bringing in illegal technology. Due to the fact he was being paid by the US government under the auspices of helping overthrow the Cuban government, you'd imagine they'd be a bit upset, and acted the same way the US would in similar circumstances. You can just complain about not knowing who to believe, or you can actually read about it and get a better understanding.

You said it yourself - he was in possession of illegal technology. That's it. Why are you so desperate to condemn Cuba, even to the point of blatantly refusing to accept the very facts you yourself have provided?

Are you kidding?? This whole "too free" nonsense has to stop. Read a history book and see just what the US has done to the countries in question, and then you might understand how ridiculous you sound, and why every time you spout "they hate our freedoms!" people laugh at you, and the global reputation of the US sinks that little bit lower. Pathetic.

Nationalism - is not a good thing. Horrific things have been done in the name of nationalism. It is the "us" in "them vs. us" - the archetypal oversimplification of disputes and diplomacy. Racial bigotry is still rather prominent in the US - just look at all the racist episodes which happened when Obama was elected, the history of race relations in the US (wondered why the Pentagon has so many toilets?), and the fact the country was built on slavery and genocide.

Upward Mobility - this exists everywhere there is money and people who would trade that for goods or services.

Rule of Law - based on English common law, rooted in the Magna Carta of 1215.

Freedom of Religion - not special in any way. This is a common thing found across the world in the vast majority of countries

Capitalism - common to most of the world

Global Economic Interdependence - I don't know how you can claim something which is inherently international as something specifically American. That is just confusing.

So it appears what you think of as "American Culture" is simply a list of things (some bad, some good) which exist in the US and in many other countries, to varying degrees. You might as well have claimed "We mainly have two arms and two legs each" as being part of US culture...

Don't get me wrong - I'm a big fan of many aspects of the US, but seeing ill-though-out lists like this don't reflect the true awesome aspects of the US (such as its art and scientific endeavours over the years).

I disagree about capitalism vs. socialism when it comes to research and innovation: Capitalism-driven research is only focussed on that which can return a profit in a given time-frame, whereas socialism-driven research can be focussed on whatever, even if the chances of it working are small. Obviously that's not always the case, but it seems to be the predominant alignment. Just look at DARPA in the US - a prime example of public funds being used to research and develop technologies, many of which have found their way to the common good.

That wasn't an ad hominem - it was pertinent to the discussion. If he'd said he had a stupid name or that his liking of Pop Tarts made him a muppet, then you'd be right.

How do you know such a response would have "worked", and how do you define "worked"? Do you think it would have led to the removal of the embargo? And if so, how?
