How many of these "levels" (not to confuse them with actual classes) exist in javascript? Only the first one? (that said, I guess the fourth one (metaclasses) isn't a clear yes/no, since OO is very different in js)

You can activate a menu, but it only covers very basic things. If you are confined to using only the menu, you might equally well use notepad. For base emacs, the learning curve is not as steep as vim. I wonder if your problem was trying to

That's not entirely true. Any reasonably complex system will almost certainly have single points of failure, including airliners. Those single points of failures might be very unlikely, but they are still there. E.g. what if the front

Again, *by context* this is precisely how you would *not* interpret "increase" here. You've basically taken my point and turned it to mean the exact opposite, so that you can give a smart-ass reply while avoiding the actual q

Language is full of ambiguities that are only resolved by context. Both a relative increase and an absolute increase are increases, so saying that it has a "clear meaning" is fairly pointless here. And you're still ignoring m

How does that compare to (projected) decreases if they didn't switch off their nuclear plants? It seems to me that is what the debate is really about.

None of those questions are new, nor show stoppers for existing plants. Why do you think the existing procedures may not be satisfactory? (I'm assuming you think so based on the way you ask the question) EDIT: to be clear, I'm not
