U.S is Now the World's Largest Generator of Wind Energy
U.S is Now the World's Largest Generator of Wind Energy

I thought about that after I posted... I mean a closed system with a heat exchange could work (and that's how all nuclear plants cool themselves, not with an open system, so my comment about salt water in the core was stupid), but I'm wondering if even th … (see comment)

You do realize that a president doesn't have the authority to affect abortion legislation in any way beyond a veto, right? So you're saying you would not vote for someone whose position on the affairs a president actually has authority over you agree with … (see comment)

@cdzrom: They don't have to. They're the best equipped military force in the region, including hundreds of nuclear warheads ready to fire. The only reason Iran would be interested in developing nukes is to NOT get invaded, given that their borders have be … (see comment)

@theutopian: Wrong. They would need 2/3 majority to overturn a veto to PASS a legislation that the president VETOES. What we're talking about here is them FAILING TO PASS the war appropriation funds by a majority voting 'No' on it, in which case the presi … (see comment)

AlorsMerde has an excellent point. We played the game, and we were beaten. Better luck next time. The only thing that matters is how we are going to spread our ideas more effectively next time. Getting frustrated is not a bad thing, as it can show you wha … (see comment)

@fuzz: You mean the country with OVER 200 nuclear warheads, many of which I'm sure already conveniently aimed at Tehran and various other cities? You mean the country with the strongest land army and navy in the region by far? Israel is more than capable … (see comment)

Like Pakistan? Or how about North Korea's personality cult? Upon what do you base your claim that Iran would be interested in distributing nuclear weapons anymore than these other countries, surely resulting in them getting wiped off the map along with wh … (see comment)

Yes. Just as much as I'm comfortable with a nuclear armed Pakistan, or North Korea, or China, or Russia, or Israel, or USA, or France, or Britain, or anyone else. The fact is that all of these countries have unleashed their share of horrors upon the World … (see comment)

@jgzman: All the countries you listed already have nuclear weapons, and most have had them for a long time, and somehow, we're still alive to post on Digg. Reality is a harsh mistress, but somehow, we get by. If Iran doesn't have nukes now, the US and Isr … (see comment)

@IpecacNeat: By that measure, how can you trust our own government, given the complete hubris that comes out of most of their mouths? These politicians often sound completely batshit insane and utterly sociopathic, especially when they're addressing AIPAC … (see comment)

Who's law would they be breaking? Countries make their own laws, as long as they don't infringe on other countries' right to exist. As long as Iran doesn't attack anyone, there's really no justification for attacking them in any way, even if they do devel … (see comment)

Too bad you have to shut them down when it gets hot in the summer (just when people want to run their air conditioners), or the warm effluent cooling water kills all the river wildlife and fishery stock. That's the problem they've been having in France wi … (see comment)

@ghandii: I'll be the first to admit that I don't *know* what I'm talking about, ever, but I have my suspicions... : P Competing effectively means more than designing a tight OS; it also means providing support and marketing your wares. Then there's the p … (see comment)

What I'm saying is that Linux distros have had a tough time competing because they have lacked the focus and drive of a corporate structure. If Canonical can overcome this challenge, then maybe they have a shot. We'll probably see hardware OEMs invest hea … (see comment)

Because they don't have Steve Jobs or Bill Gates (or some other supervisor) breathing down their necks and cracking the whip. There's a lot to be said for the competitiveness of hierarchical decision making rather than anarchical, as long as the people on … (see comment)
