Bugger ye off a wee bit, won't you laddie?

You're going to LOVE this: There's this guy who's making a clone of rails in PHP. It's called phails, and has its own rake called phake. Guess what they're both written in? Bash. I'm not even kidding. Because I'm that guy.

I was just going to ask for his source.

You do realize, that what they currently have *is* the two state solution, right? They just don't recognize each-other.
I can tell you from what I've seen separation will never bring peace. It may reduce fire to smoldering to build giant walls, but smolder will not cease.
I think they'll have to find a way to live with each-other instead.

You're talking about me, and not the other man. You can treat the other man as you wish, but treat *me* well!

Actually, your math is wrong - it's worse than that. You'd actually need 150% more (that is, 2.5 times as much) renewable resources to pack the same amount of energy using a 20% efficient fuel production process as you would with a 50% efficient battery production process. However, this may improve, do not dismiss renewable fuel production just yet. The main advantage to fuel is that it can store more energy in an equivalent amount of space compared to batteries. But neither this, nor the overlooked issue of what is worse for the environment (chemicals from dead cells, or unrecoverable byproduct gasses) is as important as the fact that the amount of carbon dioxide in air is not inexhaustible either. That's right, one could imagine, given the increased demand, the exact opposite of today's situation happening: Killing nature by *reducing* CO2.

Analysis of your post: Misunderstanding of Russian outlook on manhood, misunderstanding of the social situation there and how wealth is relative, obvious lack of paranoia, a really good car and a friend in the background (http://krebsonsecurity.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/vorvnsdyt.png).

If this was a honeypot post, you got me. I am bound to be a criminal, book me, Sigmund Holmes from Precrime.

If only I were a stupid uneducated rich boy in either my teens, or at least 30s watching TV instead of hacking, and not caring about social justice. Maybe I would start on the good path then. -_-

The richest man alive and a prestigious university offer to pay development costs a single educational software package, while N parties develop each their own, and he gets to choose who is the best, ie who he'd like to sponsor. GATES THE ORPHAN SAVER! -_-

What's wrong with Windows 8 on mobile platforms? AFAIK, it's just that it's unsuitable for desktop. Not that I care about non-free OS', I'm just saying.

Who is "we"? And how do we refuse the patent-encumbered standard next time? How is next time more appropriate than right now?

You're basically saying that lack of competition doesn't matter because eventually someone will catch up. Not only is that faulty logic, that "eventually" can last for decades, as was/is the case with Microsoft's products.
Monopolies should be cut at the root whenever possible. Which is exactly why Adam Smith's invisible hand of free markets sometimes needs help from the state.

Thank you, master teacher! You have bestowed upon us poors the light of your first world wisdom! Let us hurry, and fix our country. We will tell El Presidente to stop being a dictator. And we will tell our politicians to be honest. And then we shall renew by sprinkling 1000s of public schools accross the country. Alas, the dawn of the new world is here!

P.S. In fear that your 1st world education will not allow you to see my point: You have been planted into prosperity, and are no more responsible for it than the guy in the 3rd world. And if you are, it's only because you pay El Presidente to be able to exploit the resources of the poor countries. Now meditate on the eye of the needle, camel.

TL;DR: The Rich are Blind

I thought they finally "invented" something a common Joe haven't thought of: Recognizing actors/actress' faces and recommending shows which feature our favorites. But it seems it's just spy tech again.
Taking it further: Software might also recognize a genre by analyzing program textual info, music, natural language phrases or even objects in the video, and might augment the remote, or the TV guide.
