Well, one can ignore the actual ruling (which seems to be on the technicality of the wording of the laws) and invent plausible-sounding reasons that ignore the ability of deaf people to drive, the standard inclusion of loud radios in cars, and the existence of vehicle soundproofing, but in the end isn't that just apologetics for bad laws? Or thinly veiled and perhaps instinctive toadying to authority?
The cars of the richest are soundproofed. I have ridden in old, cheap cars with road and wind noise too loud to allow normal conversation at highway speed. Almost literally everyone has a car radio loud enough to drown out environmental noise.
A fair point. I meant they were controlled in the sense that they did what they were designed and intended to do; you're certainly right that there was little containment.
But unless the Fukushima reactors were designed consume more treasure than they ever generated, they are not doing what they were designed to do. They haven't been contained or controlled since the tsunami, and aren't going to be any time soon. They are an ongoing burden on the people who they were supposed to support.
Well, keep in mind significance is relative. You're just stating how you feel.
For example any ocean contamination of any sort is very significant to oceanographers, ichtyologists and fishery managers (and for more than one reason!).
And the opinions of nuke shills are insignificant when contrasted with the expressed views of the world's population, most of which understands that terrestrial fission plants are an unconscionable military vulnerability as well as economically unsupportable without direct government sponsorship.
As you say, the US and Soviet tests were controlled and purposeful.
The Fukushima event appears to be uncontrolled, at least so far. It's an ongoing, active disaster, much like the Centralia Coal Fire.
We could have stopped the Centralia fire at any time by diverting the Susquehanna, but every year we've waited has made that a more economically and environmentally destructive option.
The file upload button is unstylable. People write crazy amounts of browser-specific code to get around this - literally hundreds of lines of code, if you want to work responsively in all current browsers - because every other button can have style applied to it, but file upload buttons can't.
Seriously. Working on trig functions when they haven't finished with buttons yet? That seems really strange to me.
My employers have been doing this since roughly the same time period. Because it's obvious. As soon as bar code scanners with ps/2 keyboard in/out jacks came on the market, we had people handling our return mail this way. DB and everything.
Postal service is right and this Hungerpiller rube is a rent-seeker, not an innovator.
Mars is an incredibly bad choice. The gravity well makes it expensive to move things in and out, and the lack of magnetic field and high environmental toxicity means you have to live indoors and underground.
i.e. If you have a PhD you get to judge the quality of accuracy.
Although I've known more than a few brilliant and competent PhDs, some of the most egregiously ignorant people I have ever known - not stupid, but instead purposely and proudly uninformed - also hold doctorates.
The finger pointing at the moon is not the moon; the paper certifying expertise does not grant or even prove it.
Hubble has 4 reaction wheels and 6 gyros, giving it (when they're all working) amazing pointing accuracy.
Two of the gyros were replaced in the first servicing mission.
One of the reaction wheels was replaced in the second service mission.
The third service mission had to be split into two parts - 3A and 3B (I have the 3A mission gimme cap here on my desk) - and 3A replaced all six gyros, as four had failed, including the two replaced during SM1. Having only two gyros caused NASA to rewrite the software, which was originally written to use a minimum of three gyros for science operations.
Service mission 4 installed another set of gyros, intended to last until 2014.
Do you think that if they pull 100T out and burn it, there will be more than 100T in the air?
That is 100% correct.
Without a great deal of additional infrastructure, you can't pull the 100T out of the air without expending energy in ways that will increase the amount of carbon in the air. People gotta drive to work to build and operate the plant, and so forth.
Now, if you do build out the clean infrastructure required, you can do a one-time pollution event (think, for example, of creating solar panels - it's not a pollution free process, but over the lifetime of the panels energy is returned with less pollution than any other available method) instead of an ongoing one.
The guy is talking about something of a few dozen lines of code, and he doesn't simply use a debugger to step through the problematic code?
Oy veh, get off my lawn, you whippersnapper!
Using the same methods I've used since a powerful computer was one that had 8K main memory, I can debug anything. Why would I want to waste time on a limited tool when I already have globally applicable technique?
Learning how to debug on every OS, in every environment, forever, is a lot better use of my time than learning how to use this year's fad debugger/IDE. I can use the time saved to learn the latest fad language, which will be a lot more fun!
Under GW Bush the telcos all claimed they were doing unconstitutional widespread monitoring of law abiding citizens because they were totally patriotic and selfless. They wrapped themselves in the flag.
McCain and Obama both broke off campaigning for the Presidency so they could give the telcos immunity from prosecution, despite both of them saying they wouldn't (Obama saying so quite strongly).
BUT when the fedguv screwed up their accounting and stopped paying the bill, the telcos immediately cut them off, proving their true motivation - wealth.
Patriots acting for a principle don't stop acting just because they aren't being bribed enough.
Starting a company? Getting your own email server?
firstname.lastname@companyname.tld
Doesn't work. Here at a company with less than 600 employees, we have two John E. Smiths, three Jason Johnsons (of whom two have the same middle name) and we have six people named "Dolores Rodriguez" of whom three have no middle name. I can't explain the Dolores factor, other than to say that statistically it had to happen to somebody.
This is known, you can't map non-unique human names directly to a namespace that requires uniqueness.
In the end, despite the corrupting influence of Microsoft Outlook and the scourge of "friendly names" obscuring real addresses some kind of human intelligence, namespace understanding and pattern awareness is required to use email effectively. Just knowing a human name is not enough, you'll have to learn people's email addresses.
As a general rule, it is an extremely bad idea to using full names as e-mail addresses, since they are not in any sense unique. For example, the UNIX software-development community has at least two well-known Peter Deutsches, and at one time Bell Labs had two Stephen R. Bournes with offices along the same hallway. Which one will be forced to suffer the indignity of being Stephen_R_Bourne_2? The less famous of the two, or the one that was hired later?
If you want them to be successful later in life and be able to integrate seemlessly into the modern business and financial world, I would suggest Microsoft Windows - it's universally used in the modern professional engineering and financial industries. If you send them off on a dead-end path down the road of hobbyist and non-commercial operating systems, you will confuse the hell out of them and set them up for scorn and failure when the time comes for them to get a job. They literally will have nothing to bring to the table for any employer to even consider them above a more qualified and trained candidate.
I have found the exact opposite to be true.
I helped my son build his first linux computer from a bunch of broken and discarded PCs when he was 11 years old.
When the boy was a sophomore in college, he was hired by NASA Goddard. Then a Washington DC legal software firm hired him away from NASA at a significant pay increase. A year later NASA tried to hire him back, and the law firm gave him a nice big raise to prevent that.
Operating systems that mishandle this debug exception and had their systems open to attacks include Apple, Microsoft, FreeBSD, Red Hat, Ubuntu, SUSE Linux, and other Linux distros...
Windows isn't on the list, but I don't know if that means it's definitely not affected.
I've heard that Windows is the name of Microsoft's Operating System.
Could be fake news, I guess? Maybe Russians al up in ur nets?
There are numerous arguments supporting a liquid plasma model. These include: (1) the continuous nature of the emission spectrum, (2) the average density of the solar mass, (3) the gentle oblateness of the solar sphere, (4) the presence of a distinct solar surface, (5) the presence of surface gravity waves and helioseimology studies, (6) the known existence of hydrogen on Earth in the liquid metallic plasma state at high pressures and temperatures, (7) the existence of solar boiling, and (8) the presence of the corona, transition zone, and chromosphere. In addition, the liquid plasma model provides for the mixing of solar materials, resulting in important evolutionary consequences for the stars. At the same time, the liquid plasma model addresses the issue of coronal heating and helps to resolve the thermodynamic problems in this area.

I'm not a Monsanto/Bayer customer or stockholder, so I'm pretty sure I will not be paying any of their fines or penalties.

Eric Allman said decades ago:
Sorry, I'm probably not buying any house the architect describes as being intentionally erratic. I prefer a dependably predictable house.
RFC 2324 section 2.3.2 assigns error 418 as follows:
Any attempt to brew coffee with a teapot should result in the error code "418 I'm a teapot". The resulting entity body MAY be short and stout.
So as long as NPM is RFC2324 compliant, that's a perfectly cromulent error code. :)
I have found the exact opposite to be true.

Oh, and also, he can spell "seamlessly".
Certainly! As we all know, Levi Strauss roped vast herds of 5¼ floppies in the Great Magnetic Media drives of the 1870s.
