The timescales most certainly are relevant. We're currently in a pretty serious situation with respect to global carbon emissions. Given that we selfish humans won't sacrifice our power requirements, fission almost certainly needs to provide some of our power in the short to medium term future. I don't know of any "renewable" resource that fits with your "inexhaustible over a timescale of centuries" requirement -- land is required to capture wind, coast to capture tide, etc. and the numbers don't add up (see e.g. http://www.withouthotair.com/).

The emergency services in DFW must be sick and tired of having to go to people's houses simply to open their windows for them.

-1, Heard it all before about DRM and Apple didn't just abandon us.

Hmmm, sounds like "Some company" just need to read the documentation:

http://developer.apple.com/iPhone/library/documentation/Audio/Conceptual/AudioSessionProgrammingGuide/AudioSessionCategories/AudioSessionCategories.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007875-CH4-SW1

Clearly, kAudioSessionCategory_UserInterfaceSoundEffects and kAudioSessionCategory_AmbientSound allow for music to continue playing.

"Informed by Prof. Santilli" is not necessarily the same as "informed".

Over the years your mother has also admitted to such wrongdoing.

See what I did there?!

In case it escaped you the first time: CITATION NEEDED.

+1, Exactamundo

I know that; it's just a more polite way of calling bullshit (I'm British, you see).

Is that documented too? Could you please post the link?

Take a look at the bit I quoted from tjstork in my reply. He'd already created the dichomoty.

Of course America doesn't want its soldiers to die. The best way to avoid that is to put them out of harm's way rather than sending them on imperialist oil wars.

tjstork's perspective is pragmatic, but morally subterranean. Hence "fuck you" rather than "you're incorrect".

Okay, fair enough. The OP's analogy was pretty far-fetched.

444Mb/s is the sync speed; 400Mb/s is the theoretical maximum usable speed, but contention will bring that down to the equivalent of a handful of concurrent HDTV streams. I think it might be worth aiming a bit higher than that!

Highlighted that for ya.

I think you missed my point. Formally declaring war binds you to certain standards of behaviour arising from international treaty obligations. Of course the other side knew that trouble was coming; that's neither here nor there.
