The majority in my country is “old folks”, brought up during the cold war, and very pro-American (besides knowing nothing about it- thinking it would be a European style country, just bigger)´, fearing the EU, Russia (well, maybe despising, not fearing), and China (and France, despised, not feared, not that I think about^^).

Btw: I’m not hypocritical on this, it’s not as if I were “anti-American” per se.Given the appropiate circumstances, I’d critizise my country as well.

So, if you want to go on and critize my country, you can do it (well, freedom of speech) since I neither chose to have been born here nor identify myself with the bad deeds, good achievements, and extremely bad politics of said country, all of which I had no part in devising and enacting, and almost all of which is despicable in my eyes (not to mention decadent).In the same vein, I judge each individual on the base of his or her deeds, and behavior.

I just dislike this “our shit don’t stink” syndrom that many US-citizens suffer from, and black and white thinking in general.

These espionage complaints are some of the most hypocritical things I’ve heard, and well, your government admitted to doing the same, making it much more dumb to point fingers at China.For example I remember one case concerning an avition technology, which got some media cover here.

Have a nice day:)

Ps: Not “just out of curiosity”, in general one asks this question to put the other person into a category, and then safely ignore further statements.Or, to strike back:)

I mean: I wouldn’t care normally, but since you are stealing from us Europeans, all the while thinking you’re the best thing that ever happened to the world and in general the best at everything…:)

Well, at least your echelon article has some information.

And, btw- the stuff said about bribery and American surpremacy making espionage worthless (James Woolsay) after people found out, is pure garbage and something only one of you guys could actually believe.Must be good to know that one is the best and most ethical country^^

Ps: Have a nice day.

When Honda builds an Asimo robot that can feed a 3D copier with moon matter and assemble more robots and copiers, then they can take over the entire moon.

Imagine a 3D copier that can print out the pieces to replicate itself in 12 hours, then print out pieces for a robot in another 12 hours. Put one such copier on the moon with one robot.

Doubling their numbers every 24 hours will give them 16,384 pairs of solar powered robots and copiers by the end of the first lunar day. After waiting for the next two weeks of lunar night, they can start to work again and get up to 268,435,456 pairs by the next sunset. Only two days after the next sunrise they will have 1,073,741,824 pairs. They could build quite a big base with all those copiers and robots.

Now just think of what we have now.

There are a lot of people working on printable robots at this moment.

In two years the problems with ultra-violet lithography are expected to be solved, so Moore’s law will be working just fine in the near future.

Now our frequent commenter, GAUSS, is building a 64 GB RAM desktop computer. In 18 months he could be putting together a 128GB RAM unit. Then in three years it will be a 256 GB machine. Then in 4.5 years 512 GB and in six years 1,024 GB.

If an Asimo had 1,024 GB or 2,048 GB, what do you imagine that it could do?

Well, maybe later.Gtg.
