Naturally, those are right out. It's part of why my current TV is a dumb TV with a Linux box connected to it. It's job is to display the video I send to it.
Removing the actinides is the easiest part if you don't care about separating the U and Pu from them. IIRC, a CANDU reactor can use mixed actinide fuel.
Also BTW, the natural rocks I mentioned are NATURAL ROCKS, not tailings. If I meant tailings, I'd have called them that.
It *IS* a scam. It is because the 100,000 year figure is for it to show no activity at all. The fuel came from ore dug out of nature where it already showed activity. In order to be environmentally neutral, it need only decay until it radiologically resembles what came out of the ground in the first place. Then we can just throw it back into the depleted mines after we refine out the valuable metals.
The big problem in nuclear waste for the medium term is the strontium 90, but 500 years is more than 17 half-lives for it.
The 100,000 years thing is a scam meant to make the nuclear waste problem look intractable. LONG before that, the "waste" will be no more radioactive than natural rocks laying out in the desert in the U.S.
If you invent dynamite, you'll get 20 years of protection. If you write a book about dynamite, you get protection for the age of Mickey Mouse plus 1 year.
Yes, there's the thing. In theory, if EVERYone who downloads would have otherwise bought a copy (doubtful) and taking their making available theory into account, if I get caught torrenting a movie, I should be liable for a little less than 2x the wholesale price of a digital download. That assumes a typical torrent ratio of 2.
I say a little less since they didn't incur any accounting overhead. Wholesale because that's the price they get from everyone who buys from them (for example, what Apple would pay them had I gone to iTunes).
Not really. For example, if someone takes a shot in 10 seconds, the shot clock and it's accuracy has no impact on anything. If the clock started a half second late at the beginning of the game, it means nothing at all to the outcome.
If you see from the clock that you have 10 seconds to shoot, that's fine even if you should have had 10.2 seconds. If you see that you have 4 seconds, and it takes 2 to take the shot, perhaps you take 2 quick strides and shoot. It matters very much if someone retroactively decides you only had 3 seconds left when you looked and saw 4.
To be fair, the decision of when to make the final throw in a game is based on reading the clock before the throw while for most of the game there's nothing particularly interesting happening when the clock runs out. The exact instant the clock is started generally has no bearing on win/loss or even goal/no goal.
That's why the one questionable accuracy instance weighs so much more than the others.
As for Sony, to me it is inexcusable. I am under no obligation to be a mainstream user. The fact is, I bought a product for its feature set. If it now doesn't have some of those features, I no longer have what I paid for. The judge must be smoking crack IMHO.
Another example that comes to mind is VW diesels. Bringing them into emissions compliance by software update will reduce performance or mileage. The fact is that the cars were defective and if the defect can't be cured without degrading the specs, the buyers are owed compensation for degraded value.
If you want progress, go with a simple rotary switch that doesn't take up the whole center console or fool people into operating it incorrectly.. If you want all electronic but maintaining a familiar look and feel, go with a multi-position switch actuated by a gear lever with stiff dentents.
It isn't a problem, and the installer need take no special measures. The system's loader restricts the search path for dynamic libraries when it's running with elevated privileges so you don't accidentally run an infected library in some random location (for example, the download directory).
There are also techniques available to load libraries from a specific path after the program starts rather than at load time. You can use that to choose a specific full path to the exact library you want to load and it still counts as dynamic linking.
One should wake when one wakes. One should spend at least the 1st half hour wordlessly. Then, only after sitting in the sun for a few minutes should they begin purposeful activities such as preparing for work.
If you're using an alarm clock and/or lights in the morning to start your day at an unseemly hour, you too are using technology to warp the natural order of life.

Even moreso, it's probably easier to get inter-department cooperation and if necessary extradition for murder.

Think twice before bringing a spybox into your home. Never buy an appliance that demands an internet connection.
No, but if you shop for PC-104, you'll find just that. It's ancient tech from the '80s.
Perhaps you should look up what happens when you remove the valuable actinides first.

And the natural rocks in the desert contain radium and it's decay products as well as uranium. The fuel CAME from such rocks in the first place.
The best thing for the waste is let it sit for 500 years of so, then mine it for the valuable metals it contains.

If amazon was able to retroactively change the font weight and not screw all of that up, then it must not be a big problem.
So what do you do with the update that:
If the cars had a foot pedal you step on to cycle through the gears and no reverse or park you'd be right.
Not to mention it can wedge and require a good bit of force to get back out of park. That loud ping is not a good sound.
If you don't set the emergency brake, it can apparently become one.
What progress? It's a gimmick.

But TFA DID. It spoke of the value to the hackers in gaining control of the domain controller. That's a Windows thing.
