I'm not saying the EEG is a good idea, however, it's in place, artificially makes local solar power affordable and apparently it's hard to get rid of. Not a single country is Europe is gonna be able to cough up 25% of Germany's energy needs easily. Having France build up 17 nuclear power plants...

That will only work if France has enough surplus nuclear power. I'm not so sure if the French population would be so happy to build new nuclear power plants for Germany. As you said, the Russian option will only cover half of Germany's need, provided that all that natural gas is used for...

Do you have a source for the one twentieth? I would be quite surprised if German voters would go for this, especially since France has this nasty habit of placing their nuclear power plants at the German border. Russian natural gas currently has to run through a bunch of shady ex Soviet...

Fair enough. There are quite some densely populated areas in the world though (Europe, Japan, China). I think it's feasible for Germany to get rid of nuclear power by 2022 without resorting to coal, oil, natural gas or other fossil fuels. Your arguments seem to center around "you can't use...

There's not a whole lot of people living there though. Those that do live in the middle of a renewable energy source :) We can go a long way with smart local production and more efficient use of the energy we have. For example, most green houses are now so efficient that they produce rather than...

SSJ pack. Also, there was a super secret code to be cell.

Neat. The actual energy of one pulse is less than the energy you'd get from drinking 1/10th of a glass of beer though (200*10^15*1.5*10^-14Ws = 3kJ).

No, I guess not. I dig the mustache though. Is that 2nd one KidBoy's father?

An alcohol only diet sounds quite manly. Are you allowed to eat beef jerky with that?

Lol shouldn't be pronounced..

Looks like we can celebrate Green's 8th year of working on tournament mode soon :p

They all quote the same journal article. I may be wrong, but if a journal's website looks like it's made by a twelve year old and I can't find its impact factor, I don't have much trust in its scientific value.

The first one is a dubious looking journal, the second one is some professor's bio..

No, I'm suggesting that we should first resolve all design issues and lay out a proper design before throwing around pseudo code that either has implicit design decisions (in hlev's case) or is so simple that is uninformative at best and misleading at worst (in Grega's case).

Yes, I'm just saying that you shouldn't post code examples that are conceptually iffy and oversimplified in some aspects and over specified in other (why only expand the collision detection algorithm between the beams, but not the actual fusion??). It suggests that we can implement beam fusion...

Yes, except that that's wrong and that there is another gazillion extra issues: - You probably only want to fuse beams that are actually going into a similar direction - You probably only want to fuse with beams from team mates - Distance between 'clients' is not very informative, you'd like...

I disagree. Dedicated servers are essential to allow everyone to play ESF, painless support for dedicated server hosters is essential. We shouldn't pester such hosters that spend their time and money to set up dedicated servers for our enjoyment with mandatory validation. Also, it's probably a...

Why should dedicated linux server owners be validated to receive help?

Draytek if you have some money to spare. You'll pay probably twice what you'd pay for a Linksys or D-link, but it'll work extremely reliably and won't choke your browsing if you (or someone else) is using the network heavily.

I would agree with that, but I don't think it's because they are further from your motherboard, but because they have better components. The clock and the laser/led/whatever sends the optical signal used probably matters in the signal quality. I've never heard snaps and pops from my...
