  1. Re:It'd be hilareous if not so sad... on Japan To Restart Nuclear Power Tomorrow After Energy Prices Soar · · Score: 1

    if a volcano 140km away erupts on a scale that it's a serious threat to a reactor installation at that distance, seeing how we're talking about an island with limited area, chances are very good that the presence of a reactor installation will be the least of their problems!

    For people living on the Kyushu island - sure. The 13 million people there will definitely have a hard time (like the thousands in 2011 with the tsunami). But once lava and ashes reach the reactor, what will be the consequences? Explosions? The northern island (Honshu) and nearby Korea, at least, would be at risk.

    last went off 90,000years ago...

    It's actually *every* 90,000 years... so of course, currently the active part is small, but a big eruption is still possible.

    it's 191Km away it not fucking close at all!!..

    Coz of course, lava and ashes are gonna take roads and tolls... Distance is about 140 km, which is very close for a volcano that big.

  4. Re:Was I too subtle? on Japan To Restart Nuclear Power Tomorrow After Energy Prices Soar · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry if I was too subtle.

    No need to be sorry. Subtlety is a very subjective and relative matter.

  5. Re:It'd be hilareous if not so sad... on Japan To Restart Nuclear Power Tomorrow After Energy Prices Soar · · Score: 2

    What it doesn't say is that this power plant (Sendai/Kyushu) is close to one of the largest active volcano on Earth, mount Aso. In this area, an eruption of mount Aso is more to be feared than an earthquake / tsunami like in 2011. So the next excuse is gonna be "look, that wasn't a tsunami, that wasn't an earthquake, that was a volcano eruption which was [unexpected/very unlikely/not seen before...].

  6. Re:They can predict tomorrow's energy prices??? on Japan To Restart Nuclear Power Tomorrow After Energy Prices Soar · · Score: 1

    Importing energy is costing a lot to Japan, currently. So this is not a proactive solution. Anyway politics do not usually act proactively. They react to events that'll have an impact up to when their term ends (except maybe for climate stuff, hopefully).

  7. Re:2000 of ~130M, lolz on Japan To Restart Nuclear Power Tomorrow After Energy Prices Soar · · Score: 1

    The Japanese are indeed not very protestative. And when someone highly ranked commits a mega fault (eg at tepco), he gets away with a sorry and a few televised tears. Those two accepted behaviors are highly complementary. And I suspect the 2nd class (ranked) abuses the first (common people). But that doesn't seem to bother anyone in Japan.

    How to load that "-1" comment? Did "Load All Comments" to include -1 ones, still no way to see the initial post above this one.

    Well, to know about this particular sequence in BB, you must have seen the show. Don't tell me their lawyers tipped them off ; lawyers don't watch that kind of show.

    Read the 2nd link. Also the original French article (not shown in TFS because only 0.00001% of slashdotters read French) explains that the "killers" (some young inexperienced students) said (during the investigation) they were definitely inspired by BB.

  13. Re:Alkaline hydrolysis FTW on French Killers Inspired By Breaking Bad TV Show · · Score: 1

    the body is placed in a chamber that is then filled with a mixture of water and lye, and heated to a temperature around 160 C (320 F), but at a high pressure, which prevents boiling

    and of course everyone has a "chamber" ready for alkaline hydrolysis nearby.

    I don't know about your area

    My guess is your area is not Paris, France. Good luck trying to report a taxi in Paris.

  16. Re:Did they actually mention they were inspired by on French Killers Inspired By Breaking Bad TV Show · · Score: 4, Informative

    People have been dissolving bodies in acid for a long time. Unless they specifically quoted breaking bad as inspiration, drawing this connection is quite ridiculous, and pretty much just click bait.

    Actually, yes, in the 2nd link. RTFA for chrissake

    The prosecutor explained that the suspects had been inspired by a US TV show Breaking Bad, where the lead characters use Hydrofluoric acid - a highly corrosive acid - to dissolve the bodies of their victims

    if a Taxi driver scammed you report him.

    And how do you report a taxi who takes a longer route to charge more? A rude, unfriendly, grumpy and obnoxious taxi?

    The guys made an app used by drivers (who get a % of X) and riders (who pay X). Where does the money go? I'd be equally surprised if Paypal is said to 'lose millions'!

  20. NK is right on North Korea Is Switching To a New Time Zone · · Score: 1

    SK is UTC+9, like Japan, while they're much more westy. This is a way to get lengthy sunny evenings. NK being even more West side, the change is relevant.

  21. The only reason that works on Latest Samy Kamkar Hack Unlocks Most Cars · · Score: 1

    That works because manufacturers don't want (time, money, complexity...) to implement a system using a protocol based on a dialog between the key and the car. That would allow for instance the car submitting a random 64b number to the key. The key would have to cipher the number and send the result back to the car within a short time window (0.5"). Much harder to hack.
