Yeah, paying 5 times more than nuclear is certainly an unqualified success.
Oh, and I really hope all those hippies get cancer from the new coal power plants that are being built.
Of course it is. What are you talking about?
Hydro received very little funding in the recent 10 years in Germany, almost all of the investments went into solar panels and wind generators. So it's only fair to compare them to nuclear.
All the current nuclear waste if properly reprocessed can be buried in a couple of Olympic swimming pools. We can then bury it in deep salt deposits or (my favorite) in ocean subduction trenches. Or we can just continue keeping it in temporary storage for the next couple of centuries. It's a NIMBY problem, not a fundamental one.
Be honest: Have you EVER landed on a porn website "accidentally"? Really? One that would have been caught by a pornblocker and that was not on a hijacked page that nobody would have known about?
Yes, because see? We NEED a ban on porn. Without porn, her website would not have been violated. And won't someone please think of the children?
The problem is that the blind is leading the stupid. Or, in other words, the idiots voting her in ain't any smarter. Sadly, having a clue is neither a requirement for a political office nor one to vote in elections.
No matter how much I think it should be. For BOTH. Or at the very least the former. It's a kinda lopsided battle when dimwitted politicians are pitted against corporation negotiators hand picked for their swindling abilities. I can't help but it reminds me of the trades between the European settlers and the natives.
In today's open space cubicle driven offices it's usually trivial to use a computer of a coworker who's currently at lunch. And aside of VPN (which sadly 'til today is usually only secured by user/pass and less by IP or even device) there are quite a few other options that can make it trivial to hide your actual source.
Seriously, nothing's easier than mobbing a coworker by DoS. I've had to deal with it a few times so far (yes, such a problem is part of a CISOs job and yes, my solution was simply to NOT lock an account after 3 attempts but use a very different approach, not unlike the "delay by a minute" spiel detailed above, with some goodies tacked onto it to find that asshat that tries to mob a coworker. I have exactly zero tolerance for such crap and it cost more than one ass his comfy chair).
Now if you find a way to hack the UEFI secure boot loader....
Not quite. If you can find a security hole in the Windows kernel that allows arbitrary code execution in privileged mode (not as easy as some Slashdot readers like to believe) then it's possible to bypass UEFI secure boot by making the Windows kernel into a chain bootloader.
If I am not mistaken, "full employment" today means "at least 20 hours unpaid overtime per week".
Byte your tongue.
