Actually, Pripyat is liveable now. You will have a higher chance of cancer, of course, but the fact that there's a lot of wildlife living there right now implies that death will be rather slow.
Is it that the animals are thriving or is it that as quick as they die, new animals move in. My understanding is that it mostly the latter, at least with big animals. When you have empty wilderness surrounded by civilization, the animals will tend to move into the empty wilderness
That's the reason that the project would have to start soon, only a billion years to get it done:) The voters would be a problem, convincing them to finance a billion year project that involves millions of near misses by asteroids (why only use one) large enough to destroy the ecosystem would never get passed.
Mostly true, but I have come across 15/75/235 tyres, just a little taller, and easy to forget if yours are 70 or 75. There is also a surprising difference in different brands that claim to be the same size but when you compare by putting them side to side, one can be an inch taller then another, not good if putting them on the same axle or different ones on a 4x4.
Don't forget tyres. The hole in the middle (actually the object that goes in the hole) is measured in inches and the width is measured in millimetres with the height being a ratio of the width. My tyres, 15/70/235, 15 in, 70% height of width and 235 mm wide.
Easiest is to fly a large asteroid very close by the Earth, repeatedly, transferring the momentum from the asteroid to the Earth, much like how spacecraft get a gravity boost doing a flyby except backwards. Have to accelerate the asteroid in between each flyby and I guess it would take a lot of energy but given fusion power and enough time...
One billion years, give or take, until the Sun gets hot enough to boil the oceans and make the Earth uninhabitable. There's always the option of moving the Earth.
I'd agree that it should pre-select the 64bit option but I don't know about hiding the selection. Most computer-illiterate people will just go with the defaults anyways.
I can hate you due to your posts and kill you, that's personal. I can hate you because your user name starts with a r, that's general. Society has decided that killing you because I just hate people with user names that start with an r is as bad or worse as killing someone who I hate because of what they actually believe or do. Any which way, killing you for the above reasons is worse then killing you because I just lost it and only meant to hurt you.
Sure sucks that the exploit exists in the first place, but it sure sucks even more to be the person who wrote the code being exploited.
As it is Windows that is being exploited due to someone coding a dword being subtracted from a word, it seems they're referring to the MS coder, though your post implies 3com supplied the code to MS. Either way it was not the government who wrote the code being exploited. Big business and government aren't that different, they're both large bureaucracies with the cover your ass attitude that comes with bureaucracies.
Gold was worth pretty close to zero where I live before the white men showed up. Somewhat common rock that was pretty well useless unlike things like jade which could be used to make a good arrow head or even seashells that were quite rare far away from the ocean. The there were useful things like Ooligans that not only were food but also could be burned like a candle for light, only available at certain times of the year and hard to transport. Gold is just a natural occurring, pretty, rare fiat currency.
How does the US think free speech stops at its border?
Well, from all the Americans who consider that the Constitution only applies to American citizens to the countries that America actively supports, eg Saudi Arabia to trying to prosecute foriegn journalists.
The US does not glorify in executing people, let alone doing it slowly.
Are you not aware of how executions are carried out in America? Generally it involves shooting some horrible chemicals into the prisoner and watching him flip around as he slowly dies and when they were experimenting with other chemicals, lots of people acted quite happy that it took the prisoner that much longer to die. I guess it comes under the heading of nice and usual punishment. I'll note that even the 3 strikes laws in my country have been routinely struck down by the courts as cruel and unusual whereas in the States, get stealing a chocolate bar 3 times means life in solitary.
"Never keeps its word" is strong and demonstrably false.
Perhaps I should have said only keeps its word when in its interest. Ask any native how the US has honoured its treaties, such as that pipeline that was just forced in N. Dakota IIRC, on land that that had been promised. Then there's how many times the Americans break their trade deals. I'd go on but Slashdot seems to have broken in the last few days
The problem is that the line between tax avoidance and tax evasion is fuzzy and often takes a court ruling to decide along with appeals etc. It becomes easier and safer for both the government and business to compromise with the business, for example, just paying a third.
In the early '80's I was picking fruit here in BC and it was all piece work. Still I could make $200 on a good day and averaged over a hundred a day, which was good money back then. There were lots of illegal workers, but they were Europeans traveling around Canada.rather then 3rd world desperate people. Lots of kids from back east as well. Most of the problems were created by the free trade deals. America really benefited from the first deal and we really got fucked, then Mexico was included and America also got fucked. Now we have Trump who seems to think that the clock can be turned back whereas as this article shows, automation means we all get fucked.

They're now calling the Canadian inch the international yard?
Good point, one reason that if you have to use the spare, it should go on the back axle.

On the radio today, they said this heatwave (7 days of 49C IIRC) is a one in 200 year thing and hasn't happened since last year.

For a robot, high test vinegar would work well, just need multiple applications on established weeds.

So you're saying that my laptop with 1 GiB of memory should be force-ably updated to an inefficient 64 bit OS?

He's right though, anyone passing these laws obviously needs psychological help.
1st amendment basically says no discrimination based on religion and Trump loudly signaled that he was going to discriminate based on religion.
The original post said this,

Microsoft is a government agency now?

I didn't know that Amtrak was an ISP. How much do you pay them a month for internet?
The problem is that a lot of the homeless are mentally ill and can't hold any job.
Actually all genital mutilation of children. I also don't think people should be forced to see anything they aren't interested in seeing.
Perjury is surprisingly hard to prove. The defendant just has to make a reasonable case of being mistaken, misunderstanding the question or such.
