Except your windmills and solar panels need all sorts of exotic arare earth materials which cause huge amounts of environmental damage when mining and processing in places such as China, out of sight out of mind eh?

http://filecloud.io/ cloud storage site (with more features + cheaper than Mega btw) has been accepting bitcoins for a long time, and being an Irish company has to follow Irish+EU dataprotection laws

Except one can not buy bitcoins with a credit card or paypal,
1. because these companies hate bitcoin and what it represents for them
2. because of a high chargeback risk no one who doesnt trust you would sell you bitcoins for paypal

I am fucking sick of a bunch of hippies speaking for me and the rest of the 99%

Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Estimated time of arrival, Mr. Data?

You are correct, the spokesman on the radio (here in Ireland) was blabbing on about them putting pressure on the government now via lobbying.
government who in all honesty have better things to be worrying about such as getting the country of out the deepening depression we are still in (and one that they helped get us into!)

aint the ISS in low earth orbit while all the solar wind is way out outside the protective belts?

how do you get power to a station in a different orbit as well...

theres quite a difference between 4KM (title) and 4000KM (article summary)

Or are slashdot admins smoking da weed again?

and quite happy about this

but people here (mostly USasians :D) need to know that Ireland had the most expensive bank bailout in world per head of population, almost 10x your mess
and probably the most incompetent and corrupt government in western world, who are now running a deficit of 20% of GDP which would make the Greeks look good

this is a coloured lining on a gray cloud :(

FYP

she didnt press "im feeling lucky" button so

I run a network of Usenet/Torrent/Http/Ftp servers :D

I'm from Ireland

unfortunately Eircom (ex state owned Telecom Eireann)

own almost all of the coper/phone network in country

outside the big cities (where you can get cable with UPC) the choice boils down (assuming your close enough to exchange...) to Eircom or wireless

thats if your lucky enough to have either, since most of the country is very sparsely populated

i am moving to the countryside soon, so i wont have much choice...
