and washes all that radioactive material inland and then back out to sea we will have to increment the Crisis Severity again... and again......several thousand times.
That is the most obtuse bullshit I have read in a long time.
Yes they did not specifically say "a magnitude 9.0 earthquake followed by a huge tsunami 30 minutes later" disabling a plant. They simply said things like "natural disaster, perhaps an earthquake." So I guess that makes the antinuke crowds arguments completely invalid (regardless of the fact that they nailed it.)
(Note that Japanese engineers did specifically point this scenario out and were silenced.)
We won't know the true number of fatalites for sometime.... but we will no doubt find that the lucky ones among the dead in this whole cluster fuck are the ones who drowned.
The situation seems very bad, but headlines screaming "radiation at 10,000,000 times the safe limit" (which turned out to be wrong) are not helping.
Worse seems to be the nuclear fanboys ignoring the fact that that plant is fsked, in precisely the manner that antinuclear folks said could and eventually would happen.
I read contradictory statements regarding this topic.
If the stuff is going to become scarce in 150-200 years or so (these estimates are at current consumption levels but do they really know for sure I doubt it) then I really don't see the point in developing another dead end infrastructure. Esp one that while can be very safe, rarely is in practice (for the usual nontechnical reasons - save money, cut corners, unwisely build in an earthquake zone, ad nauseum).
I mean sure - that's great for us as individuals (until an earthquake strikes that is), but for once let's not foist a new set of problems on our grandchildren.
I have heard of this "IDE" you speak of... yet there are people (like myself) who work on headless embedded systems, the only access being via a serial port console.
Point is, not everyone uses (or is able to use) an IDE.
I am nerd beyond measure, yet I have found the series to be at best mildly interesting.
Nerdy friends would force me to sit through it, all the while I'd be saying very uncharacteristic things like, "let's go out side and toss a(n American) football."

Yet this exact same technique does such a great job keeping American air travel safe.
While it may be that they were massively screwed (I honestly couldn't say), they are wealthy.
They will live in comfort for the rest of their lives, they are now famous, and their kids futures are secure.
Can't really feel too sorry for them.

...he doesn't pretend to be a developer.
Awesome Judge!
Just wondering.
Screen works fine for me.
Per picosecond.
Is it really that big of a deal? Take the class and be done with it.
Amazing.
Well not directly, but the only NAIP approved Linux distro is.... RedHat, the exception is OpenSUSE.
So... if you want to run Linux on a classified system... Redhat is basically it.
Similar to the virtual monopoly Sun used to enjoy wrt to US government computing.
Oh for the love of God Moderators!
FUNNY dammit! FUNNY! NOT "Insightful."

>> This is not the way the anti-nuke folk said it would happen
Yes it is. Earthquake comes along, plant fails, radiation everywhere.
>> hundreds or thousands, and massive swathes of land made uninhabitable
Give it time. I cite the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Also the thousands of deaths that took years to materialize.

Plant a tree (and hope it doesn't mutate).
This is what I see on this board.
It is an interesting mix to be sure.

Just wasn't thinking when I posted it. (Those look like LOX suits).
Sort of seems like the doctor swabbing the convicts arm before he administers the lethal injection.

It is great!
I don't know why people whine about it so much - it isn't that hard, and if you don't like it use something else.
Hopefully you fixed it yourself.
PITA I know, but the fact that it is possible to do it huge.
Too bad I can't mod your post to 6.

Hide from that.
