Yeah so what you're saying is that it's perfectly safe, until something happens, and then you just abandon a 50 mile radius around the plant, and call it safe.... You're doing no favors for the nuclear industry by making these types of arguments. How about we just put the money in to them to actually modernize them and make them safe?
You're not doing any favors for nuclear power by making this type of argument. It's so safe that hey evacuated a 30km area around it. Not a single death that we know of, but workers have been going in to fields with very high radiation. I'd wait a little bit before you celebrate how safe this is.
Is that supposed to refute what I said? Chernobyl used a bad design, and they were experimenting around on it, during the night shift. In other words, the public safety aspect was low on their list. We don't live in a communist system, so just saying Chernobyl doesn't refute anything. The reality is that we have private companies that run our reactors, and if those companies aren't putting public safety first, then they don't deserve to run the reactors. If you disagree with that, then I'm not sure what to tell you.
Oh nonsense. From day one there has been a minority of pro-nuke people that have insisted this is all perfectly safe, and have been proven wrong over and over and over again. Those types of people do more harm to nuclear power than an army of hippies ever thought about doing. Flippancy isn't the way to deal with this issue, and acting like you're right all the time just makes you look like a jackass.
Live in the Chernobyl exclusion zone for 20 years, and lets see how good your health is. I support nuclear power, but people like you really don't help at all. You're the opposite side of the Greenpeace coin.
I'm fine with nuclear power. I'm not fine with nuclear power plants being run by greedy assholes that put the profit margin above the safety margin. We have a few reactors here in the U.S. that are obviously being ran "on the cheap", and frankly those companies should be ran out of town, and taken over by people that put the public safety first.
Find a fossil in the wrong layer, and you have just falsified evolution. Good luck. The Big Bang is not a theory because scientists think it sounds cool, it's a theory because we needed an explanation for the background microwave radiation. It's the best explanation for what we observe in the universe. If other observations are made that seem to contradict the big bang, it will have been falsified and science will go with the new data. None of this is the same as saying "God did it", and that's the end of the story.
You just misrepresented the ID view of evolution... they do not think that it is "mostly true". Their argument is that evolution does not exist. Their main argument against evolution is "Irreducible Complexity". You can't believe that evolution is "mostly true", while at the same time making claims that biological life forms seem to have "appeared" in perfect working order...
Every bar in the U.S. does this with domestic beer. That's why you always see empty crates of bottles int he backroom, and sometimes along the walls. They have recycled beer bottles for decades.
that I still actually buy their albums. For those, I just buy the CD, and make my own flac set. The last 10 CDs I've bought, were only used once for ripping, then put back in the container and shelved.

Yeah I'm a zealot for wanting safely ran nuclear reactors. You're saying there are no unsafe reactors in the U.S.? Speaking of zealots...

LOL Someone with points mod this up!
Why would they want to end the piece with a bunch of bullshit?
Pro tip: If you wrap your head in tinfoil too tight, it keeps the sound waves from entering your ears.
Now we celebrate them! All hail the invisible hand!
I'll defend the right of ID believers to say whatever they want. Just not in science class...

If only they could have used your giant head to block the tsunami that wiped out a large part of their nation..
Ok yeah after thinking about it more, I can see some potential in a feature like this.
Why would I want to run something like Gimp in a browser, when I can just run it regularly?

Apparently it does, because you're reading /. and here it is....
It's pretty sad when people troll "news for nerds" to ridicule nerds...
You're just angry because someone similar to this is your boss, and/or stole your girlfriend.
Then ignore the article and move on... Or be a troll. Your choice.
Careful. This guy probably has no idea what "root" is.
This is why I turned to using open source readers for pdf files.
