Assuming all of the radioactivity is due to Cs-137, that 600 Bq/kg limit translates to 0.0000003 micrograms of Cs-137 in any given kg of wild pork.
Okay, I can buy the argument that that "safe" limit errs on the side of caution a bit much....
The real problem from a meltdown isn't really the radiation. While that's scary and all... the real problem is what else is released and what the shorter half life elements decay into. Most of what the control rods are made out of are horrific heavy metals, and during the Chernobyl incident the Russians panicked and dumped large amounts of liquid lead and cement laced with lead into the basement of the reactor. The lead boiled off and then rained back down all over the region. If I lived in the area, I'd be more concerned about that lead than I would be about the radiation.
Ok, first of all, if I some how got hold of these pictures, I'd delete them. Integrity is good for us all. I've no animosity towards the famous.
That being said, these people sold their privacy for cold hard cash. Not small amounts either, enough to buy the town I live in. Maybe I'm a jerk, but I just don't feel all that bad for them. They sell sex every day, all day. I have a feeling most are more upset that some of the pictures are unflattering than they are that they're nude in them.
You don't need to take photos using an iDevice to have them end up in iCloud. All you need to do is use a Mac.
If you use a Mac to download pictures off your camera - including cell phones that aren't iPhones and therefore behave like standard cameras and don't require Apple-specific software - by default, your pictures will end up in iCloud. It's part of the "Photo Stream" thing to allow users to stream pictures to the Apple TV that clearly every Mac owner has.
Not only that... but anyone you share the photos with could have had an iPhone as well. By default smartphones backup your photos both with Google and Apple, so if anyone you shared the pics with gets hacked, you, by default are hacked as well.
People who can't give up IE might end up having to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 with Classic Shell.
Which is exactly why Microsoft does that, and why you should never build software that's dependent on closed source products. At best you're at the whim of the owner, and they may abandon you. At worst, they will see their position as leverage to force you into ever more expensive software contracts. Which is exactly what Microsoft does.
They do. The feds already have the data but cannot use it in court. Getting the companies in question to play ball is essential for legal procedures, not for the actual data acquisition.
Because while she is quite qualified for the position I can bet that some in Congress will not only have an issue with her gender but also her sexual orientation.
Note that I do not believe this should be an issue at all, but reality is often different from what we would hope.
Trust me, congress doesn't give a crap about who or what she is. What they care about is if they can use her to hurt their political opponents.
I know they sell cases where the PSU's are at the bottom. It's a gimmick to sell cases to people that think that's a better design. It's not. The one and only benifit is the weight of the case is now at the bottom and it's less likely to tip. But heat wise, the PSU is the biggest offender in your case. It's also one of the most heat tolerant components. A good, basic, design has large fans in the PSU pulling air IN from the case and exiting the PSU out. All other fans are blowing IN to the case so all airflow enters the case first, travels through and then exits the PSU.
If you have the PSU mounted at the bottom of the case, he will radiate from the PSU up into the rest of the case. Also, as the hot air exits the PSU it will rise past your input fans causing them to recirculate that warm air again!
It relieves pain not because it reduces the pain... but because it allows you to more easily focus on something else. If you're watching a movie for example, it's very easy to get lost in the movie and forget entirely about your bad back, or whatever. It's been used in mediation and religious ceremonies for thousands of years for that very reason.
Along those same lines, if you were abusing Oxy, it would likely help you forget you lost your buzz and make it less likely you'd go for your next hit. I'm not sure on that though, I don't do real drugs.
Access to 1 weeks worth of data would allow the public as a whole to see how they are being monitored. The few criminal investigations that may be impacted pale in comparison to the overwhelming public right to know what the police are up to.
The only way this could have been more blatant of an advertisement is if they had put in a preorder link. Even if it wasn't, their "controlled gap" is just a corner that juts out so you can't push it up against the wall properly. It's just not very impressive in terms of, well, anything.
Besides, I'm pretty sure the slashdot crowd builds their own rigs anyway.
So lets tare it apparent instead: 1. It's hideously ugly 2. That vent design will make removing dust and pethair from the vents nearly impossible. 3. It's a non-standard form fact, a lot of hardware will not fit in it at all. 4. The PSU is at the bottom, heat rises, and directly above it they have the SLI video cards. This is a terrible design. 5. It's small and cramped... which I'd expect from a portable design for lan parties... but it's too awkward to carry.
Call me cynical, but I just don't see Facebook adopting a sane moderation system, like for example anything that approximates slashcode.
Their equivalent of "moderation" would better resemble censorship. They would simply hide the thoughts and comments they don't think you would like. Of course, it would be for your own good...
No, they mean moderation. Censorship is the suppression of speech. For example: "You can't talk about Oranges, they are evil!" Moderation is the regulation of speech: "You can talk about Oranges, just not here. Go over there to talk about Oranges."
Freedom of speech means you have the right to say what you want, But I have and equal right to throw you out of my house if I don't like what you have to say. You seem to want the right to force me to listen to you, and that's just as bad as any form of censorship.
So we're using the Center for Public Integrity as a source of info now? CPI is a well documented political organization funded by George Soros and used by him to attack his various right wing opponents. They are not journalists. This article is basically like claiming "The Heritage Foundation explains why Obama's not really a US citizen!"
Once again, Slashdot doesn't care if it's true as long as it supports their own world view.
Those require crews. This can be piloted by 1 person, and has room for 1 more. So its payload is at least 200lbs. I can think of plenty of things under 200lbs that are worth more than $1.5mil.
That being said, the sub idea is dumb. I'd just sail to the US with a regular boat. My cargo would be under water, towed by a cable. Authorities show up, cut the cable. Very simple.
I've never had a positive encounter with a police officer.
Most of mine have been positive. Not a single one has been objectionable. Then again, I'm polite and show the cops respect.
And why should you have to? And really truly, think about that question long and hard. Are the disrespectful and rude any less citizens of this country? Do they have fewer rights that you? Should we beat rude people until they are less rude? Put them in prison? Take their property? Shoot them in the face? Because that's what we've been doing, and how well is it working for us?
I've been hearing all this about the much vaunted chops of these Russian coders, but frankly I don't ever see it. They obviously haven't even heard of SQA. What gives?
Plenty of people here on Slashdot believe in: Ghosts Vaccines cause Autism Sugar is poisonous Gluten sensitivity Alien visitors Wifi allergies

Some people are desperate for water, others are desperate to explain their childs ailments, desperate to explain their own ailments, desperate to live in a world different than our own. Desperate people will believe strange things. Myth is the anesthesia for anguish.
Yes, but now that's something that's executively enforceable. The cops CAN come knock down your door over it, and the state use of force would be justified.
But they wont. Trust me, I tried, they don't care. You can go to court, but just to file is $1k and if there's any legal work at all you're in the tens of thousands immediately. AND, in the end, even if you do win, they will likely just file bankruptcy and laugh at you.
It's really a shame Colecovision's short-sighted licensing deals and messy bankruptcy left their games covered in the legal equivalent of toxic sludge that nobody will ever be able to scrub away cheaply enough to make a $24.95 embedded Colecovision-in-a-(joy)stick with the dozen or so most popular games ever viable.

Placing all your ID travel documents and cash in one basket is a really good idea.. Not.
Given that all of the above would be in the same wallet anyway, I don't really think you have a valid concern.
The government confiscating all your cash in a time of financial turmoil however... that's pretty much guaranteed to happen.

Fine, have an independent oversight board review the records without making them public while keeping the details secret.
Which is exactly what could happen here. The Judge could release the data to the EFF and ACLU and put them under a gag order.
I don't necessarily like knowing cops have this information but so long as there's rules over the collection (see above) I'm okay with this.
But you have no idea if they are following those rules at all. Police have a long history of flagrantly violating such rules:

Most work environments still don't have e-devices available sufficiently to replace paper in all circumstances.
Mine does... "Printing" is considered a security hazard. We have more secured paper disposal bins than we have printers.
