Last comment.
"Here is how Rossi has fooled the same bunch of academic physicists this time: "
Seems like a good approach.
The number of times the answer is "Rossi" to the questions in main post is pretty damning too.
We all know that language shapes the way we understand the world
That's the Whorfian Hypothesis. Linguists are divided on it.
Australia's balance of trade with China is extremely positive at the moment. China buys almost twice as much Australian stuff as Australia buys Chinese stuff, as opposed to trade with the US which is 3-1 in the red. So, hao hao xuexi ba.
The stuff that China buys from Australia are mostly natural resources.
And...?
The biggest markets are all English speaking or use English as a trade language though. The seller needs to learn the language of the buyer, not the other way round.
Um, you are being sarcastic because you're aware that Australia's in the middle of a natural resources boom caused by exports to China, right?
It seems like all the comments here are skeptical or negative.
You must be new here. This is the home of the know-it-alls who piss on every new product announcement because they could have built better themselves (begging the question of why the fuck didn't they?). You wanna see what they said about the iPod when it first appeared!
Anyone use The Great Courses DVDs from the Teaching Company? I find that stuff pretty addictive. And it's good quality too, they have qualified tutors from real colleges including Ivy League schools.

Probably would make more progress if it wasn't for this, then.
Naw. You're right. That'll teach me to just google for random website snippets.
Site looked plausible, but I'm guessing they just made a mistake.
Wikipedia lists nuclear energy production at 2731Twh in 2008 and wind at 212.
Soo.
212/2731 = 8%
Pretty close to what you gave.
The 19% for average production seems correct tho...
Hm. Also kinda interesting to take the installed capacity figure for 2010 and divide by the generation value.
Sooo.
Installed capacity in 2010. 196.630 GW.
Power generation in 2010... 327,850 GWh.
327850 / 197 = 1664h
1664 / (365*24) = 19%
Sooo, actual production for any given GW of installed capacity averaged 19%?
I'd seen typical figures using 25% or higher.
It seems to me it produced a lot less than 1/10th the power.
According to Wikipedia, total wind production in 2010 was 327.850TWh
According to "nuclear power today" -- "In 2011, production was 2518 billion kWh"
The years are roughly the same, so...
328 / 2518000 = 0.000130262
Which seems a lot more plausible. There just isn't that much wind out there.
That is, not 10% of Nuclear but 0.01% of Nuclear.
A human brain is best utilized for critical thinking, not data storage. Google Glass opens the door for obtaining data when you need it without committing it to longterm memory.
We should however keep Google on a tight leash. If they start to go a little evil over this technology, we should fight to jailbreak it so that it can be used for good.
Well, supposedly the server does game saving (which probably would have required a small amount of effort to make cloud based in the first place), and syncing a small amount of information about city stats between players (this last one was trivially spoofed and apparently is the thin justification for making it always-on multiplayer online).
I'd say they went out of their way to break offline play.
I too have suspended travel to the USA. They need to change their ways and learn some customer service before they'll get my tourist dollars.

``Or didn't have much imagination,'' muttered Arthur.
``Perhaps,'' said Marvin, ``he was feeling very depressed.''

Actually, you can do some opengl too - is kinda fun, although utility hasn't been terribly high for me due to limited subset.
But, for example, ssh -YC, launch glxgears.
Hedgewars worked for me too.
