And the others ? Just curious.

Hydrogen have the advantage to be generated by a lot of chemical process. Probably the simplest one is the water electrolysis that only require water and electricity. Of course some others process are not so clean, but at least there is large choices and so range of possible improvement, unlike fossil petrol.

Sorry, why ?

Intel is not infallible:
See Xscale fiasco.
See ia64 fiasco.

As for Nokia, I doubt that existed any partner not aware of the burning platform memo after all the press about it. And the vast majority of the 'nerd pr0n' (as you like to write) have proved to be right about the predictable consequence of this memo.

Please mod parent up.

Yes, and it's not the first time Intel face this control rejection. Back about 15 years ago Intel wanted to push the Xscale into the embedded market, especially in the router market. There have spend a big amount of money to artificially build a complete ecosystem with SDK suppliers, and fake early customers. Intel take a very aggressive team of vendors trying to sell the Xscale chips the anyone making routers. There pretended that the system is open, but in fact there wanted that the companies use a "routing accelerator" as a completely undocumented blackbox with a closed firmware object. Only a few companies used the Xscale chip for a few years before Intel canned the line, and then the SDK suppliers closed one after the others.

Intel management is only able to deal with a situation where there have to keep a monopoly. There are very good at this, and very bad as thinking an other way. Sadly for them, the effort of a lot software providers to port there code to multiple architectures is bigger than ever before and still growing, because the reality of the market is now fragmented. When your customers have choices, you have to give to them an advantage, not trying to take any control on them. The personal computer running Windows or OS X are the last markets where the end user have almost no choice (AMD marked share is actually small), but the Intel customers like Apple or Microsoft could change that. Apple have already successfully switched 3 times there architecture (m68k->ppc->ia32->amd64), and Microsoft is more and more forced to present an arm64 version of Windows for the future server market.

Many projects started with simple code and increased the complexity overs the years up to the point that less and less peoples are willing to learn it. A key to attract new developers is to split the project in smaller parts and let others take the maintenance of those smaller parts. Don't hesitate to use standard libraries whenever possible and don't hesitate to rewrite code to make it easier to read. Up to date documentation and tested tutorial on how to start coding for example an extension might be good advantage.

Close relations with distributions can be a source of new developers instead of a layer that isolate the project from the users. It's an advantage to directly maintain the project in a few leading distribution.

Probably a very important factor for attracting new contributors is how there idea are welcomed at there first post and how there are credited for there effort.

Elope trying to make a first post ?

First, you seem to fully agree that murder using gun is a bigger problem than manga, so why the word 'lots' cause you a so big problem ? Just compare to the numbers of deaths caused by manga... Now compare the legal risk of owning a gun vs owning a manga. Oups! It's not a statistic, it's a very simple basic comparison.

Second, while your claims are probably correct (I haven't checked) and I never disputed them, you seem to assume that I am against them. It's not the case, but my point of view is from an other perspective: in the manga affair, the judge base his sentence on the perception that seeing image of a fantasy in a manga is dangerous because it's an illustration of something criminal in the real life and that this might confuse the reader. What's insane it that in comparison, all real guns and all illustration of murders by guns in a massive amount of media don't seem to be a problem *COMPARED* to the manga fantasy. Don't get me wrong: I doubt there is even a massacre that have been caused by a manga fantasy, so why owning a manga fantasy could be more criminal than owing a gun ?

I propose that you read me with clam and only get the real part I have wrote, not what you don't know about me and that you like to think that you know. Acting only based on real fact is best solution for everyone.

We are close to see situation where having a charged gun in the street full of peoples including children, all seeing massive amount of murder involving gun while watching movies, TV, games, cartoon, anime, streaming, since there are young is considered as nothing wrong despite a lot of documented massacres, but seeing a manga along on his personal computer for self consuming fantasy is a crime.

My point of view is that regardless of the subject there will be a tiny amount of peoples developing problems discerning differences between fantasy and reality, including inability to control there actions. For sure any society have advantage to identify this few peoples and to do something to protect the vast amount of normal peoples. The bad new is that historically societies are close to there end when there make rules disconnected from the reality...

Just try to explain this for example: https://www.gov.uk/vessel-clas...

World is changing...

FTFY

World is changing. Solutions that was acceptable before are not acceptable anymore. It's a fact of life and it's not hard to find massive amount of example following this observation. It come to my mind to evolution of aircraft, but it's really not the only subject.

Be certain that the next major nuclear accident will be very different and this exactly why it is unpredictable and impossible to avoid. To just look to a small part of the problem, you can see this video for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?... that explain how unknown was that the emergency features was never designed to possibly work in the expected condition. Sound completely unbelievable but this is still the raw real facts that happened. The few last years I remember at least 2 events that was close to be a majors nuclear accident. One was a nuclear reactor that was close to loos any way to cool the fuel after a unexpected raising of water flooding the terrain. The second was also a close to loos any way to cool the fuel after all but a single external generator worked after an emergency stop. The two incidents occurred in countries with strong regulation, working economy, and stable society. It's not hard to understand that majors accidents will happening, no matter how deeply you try to deny it. You can beat that I can be wrong in your lifetime, but almost certainly not in the lifetime of your children and definitively not is the lifetime of the isotope toxicity.

It's completely ridicule to discuss about highly complex technology with huge implication in the thousand years scale by only looking at the dead peoples now. It's a complete non sense. Try for example to compare the number of vehicle deaths in U.S. to the terrorism deaths in the U.S. (even in 2001) if you don't understand how wrong is your focused point of view.

There is many video explaining in detail the massive problem of contamination in Fukushima and no a single one point to a political problem, but to the technical difficulties, to 40 years scale required to maybe clean up the site, to the incredible cost of the operation. This video for example explain why the contamination actually measured into underground is only the beginning of the real big problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

It is irresponsible in the extreme to avoid renewable energy. Especially now that it have proven that the cost and the reliability are in scale with other production. Nuclear energy can only be a risky temporary workaround. One last thing: why did you think some countries with incredible solar energy potential are so demanding of nuclear reactors ?

I let you make the exercise of how much wind and solar production sites could have been build with the single massive cost of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. In July 2012 TEPCO received ¥1 trillion from the Japanese government TEPCO's management subsequently made a proposal to its shareholders for the company to be part-nationalized.The total cost of the disaster was estimated at $100bn in May 2012.

No, nuclear is not safe and no cheap, at least in Japan witch was one of the leading country promoting nuclear energy. You could say that this will never happen again, but this was what have been advertised after each single accident... until the next unexpected one. Most people have now understand that even with all possibles efforts limited by the cost, it's impossible to reach risk zero. There will be a next major nuclear accident, even is nobody know when and where it will happen. Just think how to maintain safety in case of major economic crisis, war, or society losing his actual structure. With the nuclear energy, we are dealing with problems that last longer than the duration of any civilization that have ever existed on Earth.
