  1. Re:I wonder... on Blow-By-Blow Account of the Fukushima Accident · · Score: 1

    Chernobyl Death Toll: 4,000
    Fukushima Death Toll: 5

    Which one is worse?

  2. Re:Que the Anti-Nukes on Blow-By-Blow Account of the Fukushima Accident · · Score: 2

    One of the largest tsunamis in the last century, which killed over 10,000 people, also lead to an industrial disaster with 5 fatalities (none of which were related to radiation). How does that in any way "shatter the credibility" of nuclear power?

  3. Re:What is a chalkboard? on Why Fingernails On a Chalkboard Sound Painful · · Score: 1

    The markers give you headaches because they contain a solvent, which is included to make it easier to clean the boards. They're generally based on organic compounds with a low boiling point, so they evaporate quickly, leading to high levels of fumes in the area. When you inhale the fumes they irritate your mucus membranes, leading to a variety of symptoms, including headaches.

    I like using ~ as opposed to /s. Of course no-one understands that either...

    I like burning it. Every time I check my mail I take the stuff I don't need any more outside, put it in my steel bucket and set the whole lot ablaze!

    Fuck the American Christian Mothers' League. Then make a video of it and sell it on Amazon for people to buy with their new XXX gift cards.

    Well, if you have customers give you their zip code, you may notice people travelling some distance to their closest store. this gives you guidance as to where new stores should be opened.

    Also, if people are buying from stores that are not the closest to them it gives you a heads up to see what's wrong with that store.

    But most of those comments are like this thread, discussing whether or not Apple stories should be posted.

  11. Re:I am no Pirate! on The Case For Piracy · · Score: 1

    I'm a little older than you, and I also download music I want to hear.

    I don't buy albums often, but when I do, I prefer to buy used.

    I do however go to concerts at least once or twice a month, and buy a T-shirt from at most of them.

    Not sure what the music industry would think of me, I think my money gets spread around a bit too much for their liking.

    "Us" you know, the /. crowd. If I'm nothing, does that mean you didn't bring me anything?

    I think you should have replaced global warming with gravity, as scamper_22 suggested.

  14. Re:Some more info on Tokai University Team Wins World Solar Challenge · · Score: 1

    Assuming they finish with the batteries depleted, I'd calculate it as though they sit on the start line for long enough to charge up the batteries from the solar panels; that'd give you a rough estimate.

    All you'd need to know is the capacity of the batteries and the output of the solar cells, which I'd look up and calculate for you if I weren't so lazy.

    The AC is suggesting that in the time it takes the first ship to reach a distant planet, we'd develop technology back on Earth that will get us there way faster so we'd be able to get there and set up a base before the first ship arrived.
