Question: Do cicadas come every 17 years, or do they come every year?
Having lived in the Deep South for 5 years I seem to remember cicadas coming every year. Wikipedia says there are "broods" and there's 2500 different species. So, was I seeing a different species every year, or did I just see a different brood every year? I think I saw 2 different species.
You asked, " how many subsistence hunters do you think there are in Bavaria?"
Well assuming it meant "annually" where the article said "50,000 boars hunted", I'd say there are around 25,000 boar hunters.
Each one gets an average of 2 boars per year, yielding 80 lbs of meat. Since the article said, "In Austria, authorities say that eating the unlikely amount of 2 pounds of contaminated boar meat that is 10 times above the legal cesium limit would amount to two-thirds of an adult's normal annual radiation intake by food." We can conclude that around 500 people might get a contaminated boar each year, and they might get 13 years worth of normal annual radiation in a short period of time, for each boar. If you catch 5 boars in one year, you have a 10% chance. As a hunter, I don't like those odds.
"Bavarian hunters don't usually need to live off their wild boar," I don't know how it works with hunters you know, but the ones I know eat the animals they kill.
I don't understand why you think maintaining a "normaI" weight is impossible. I literally cannot eat enough food to get fat. I would have to sit in front of a plate for 2hours a day. Perhaps you just need to eat slower. Like my grandma always told me, "Chew each bite 20 times before you swallow."
One thing I've always noticed about the overweight, is that they stare at their plates and wolf it all down like it's a race.
"In Austria, authorities say that eating the unlikely amount of 2 pounds of contaminated boar meat that is 10 times above the legal cesium limit would amount to two-thirds of an adult's normal annual radiation intake by food."
You said, "So, in reality, in Bavaria people panic lots it seems. You would have to eat boar meat every day for months and months to be affected by this. There ain't that many animals left in ALL of Germany! There is only a problem if you plan on actually farming certain crops in soils that received lots of cesium fallout."
Well, if you are a solo hunter and you get a contaminated boar, it would be very easy to eat a lot of boar meat. You might get 40lbs of meat or more for a large boar. You might eat that much in 6 months. So, as you said, eating boar meat for months and months, is quite likely if you are a subsistence hunter.
Just saying... it's not like you get a boar burger once in a while. You kill a boar and you get a whole bunch of meat all at once.

What I'm wondering is if GPS info is sent or not. He was visiting someone in a rural farm neighborhood, so they could not get the location by just knowing his Name/Phone Number. 300m is a huge area containing dozens of houses. Furthermore, triangulation by cell tower requires 3 towers. So, how is it that the cops showed up within 10 minutes of the call to his exact location? The GPS info must have been sent.

Who called 911 about a disturbance but then decided to end the call without giving any information. By using online services that locate cell towers, I am pretty certain he is within range of only one cell tower. The cops showed up at his exact location some minutes later. Incidentally, there is no street address at his rural location that could be tied to him or his bill in any way. However, his phone does have a GPS unit.
So, how did the cops find his location? Is GPS info somehow transmitted on 911 calls?
ABC World News with Diane Sawyer says that the containment vessel has cracked at about the 7:00 mark. "The only way the water could reach those levels is if it came into direct contact with uranium."
So does this mean the reactor has officially "melted down"?
FTA: "Chernobyl a huge fire released large amounts of many radioactive materials, including fuel particles, in smoke. At Fukushima Daiichi, only the volatile elements, such as iodine and caesium, are bubbling off the damaged fuel."
So, it's not on fire but... well what does this mean?
Slashdot Mirror
And why do we never get to see one of these prototype rotating engines running?
You expect me to scrape by on $4.2M/year????
You said: ST:Ent - The best description I've heard of this is "If you just make it through the first two seasons it gets better..."
That's because the female Vulcan, T'Pol, finally gets naked in Season 3 episode 15 "Harbringer".
100% profit, if you sell the app on your own website, right?
Tell me about it.. I wasted all my time downloaded every episode. And now, they're just easily watchable online?! I'm pissed now!
Because I can't figure out the answer to this question! And whenever someone asserts that they only come every 17 years, it drives me crazy!

However, I just noticed... slashdot does have an nudism icon for this story.
Being the first and only slashdot article with the tag "nudism".

In 2004 I upgraded the PIII in my Compaq 1800T laptop from 800mhz to 1000mhz. Tada!

I agree!

You said, "Still no explanation for why Samsung originally confirmed the keylogger's existence to Hassan, as seen below."
Then you say, "GFI Labs, the maker of VIPRE, has issued an explanation and apology"
So why do you think Samsung confirmed the existence of a Samsung installed keylogger?

In Antarctica. The distribution of asteroids there must be the same as the distribution anywhere else. It's just that they're easier to find.
I refuse to comment on unreadable headlines.
I just saw on Wednesday's Colbert Report that black smoke was seen coming out of reactor 3 and white smoke was seen coming out of reactor 2.
So does this mean the reactor has officially "melted down"?
