I actually think you could have some really really cool looking massive fireballs in space. If you have a flammable mixture being ejected from a central point and ignition starts from the centre point fractionally after the start of the ejection you would have two expanding fronts. The first would be what ever the flammable mix is, the second is the ignition front chasing it. While the mixture remains dense enough for ignition to spread it would look really really cool.
Obviously flammable mix in a vacuum would require oxygen in some form. I wonder what burning potassium Chlorate would look like in space.
No there has been a change. My wife's machine updated to windows 10 without interaction from her. That said though it did pop up numerous windows saying it was going to upgrade on a certain day at least a week in advance, so she could have stopped it. However it required her input for it to not happen rather than to happen.
I don't know why mdsolar has such and axe to grind about nuclear. He seems to have an amazing strike rate though of posting scare articles to slashdot. I could kinda understand, given his username, if he was anti everything bar solar, but he really really seems to hate nuclear.
The Congress, whenever two thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose amendments to this Constitution, or, on the application of the legislatures of two thirds of the several states, shall call a convention for proposing amendments, which, in either case, shall be valid to all intents and purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the legislatures of three fourths of the several states, or by conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other mode of ratification may be proposed by the Congress; provided that no amendment which may be made prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any manner affect the first and fourth clauses in the ninth section of the first article; and that no state, without its consent, shall be deprived of its equal suffrage in the Senate.[2]
Sounds like the government is the one that amends the constitution to me. I'm not reading anything that points to a referendum or a method for joe six pack to propose a change. Looks to me like it is the elected officials, which should be "the People" but that is a whole different matter.
If America had a larger welfare system / was more socialist there would be a lot less people with nothing to lose. I suspect that if people had more to lose they would be less likely to pull the trigger.
But the second amendment can be restricted. For a start it is an amendment to the original document. There is nothing constitutionally stopping the government from removing that amendment, there is however no political will or capacity to. These are not the same thing.
All my photos are sorted by/yyyy-mm-dd-1st day at kindy/yyyy-mm-dd-IMGxxx.jpg So all my photos are sorted easily. I currently have 115,000 photos dating back to 2004. Every photo is piped through a piece of software that reads the exif data and renames the files to suit as it comes off the device.
I don't use the tag system that picasa has. What Picasa has done though is allow me to find all the photos with my face in, or my wifes, or one of my kids or any other person we have spent the time training it to recognise. It also has a very nice viewing window that allows you to rapidly scroll through thousands and thousands of thumbnails that are stored in folder trees. It allows me to select photos that are stored in all sorts of random location and export them to a folder somewhere else. I can also search on keywords, such as kindy, and I will find photos that are in directories that contain that word.
If you have the number of photos that I have and the folder structure than using a file browser is just terrible. You would never ever find the photo you wanted.
So for me the big loss will be the facial recognition.
That said the higher the profile the game the more likely they are to come stuck to steam. Borderland series, Xcom series, Civilisation series. They all work in linux but they come via the steam system. But that is no different to windows.
And if you want to pop over to Humblebundle.com now they have 2 bundles of which some are linux compatible. But they are all steam delivered. One is Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic II which while long in the tooth is a good game.
Huh? I'm not making any comment on whether Steam is good or bad. I'm talking about an incentive for game publishers to support platforms outside of windows. Steam doesn't hold a monopoly on game distribution, though it is by far the biggest. But people choose to install steam. If windows comes bundled with the microsoft store then it is no different to it being bundled with IE and eating netscapes lunch.
Also steam isn't the only way of playing games in linux. Linux is no different to windows in that regard. Get the linux binaries and run them, lots of humble bundle games are like that for example. Just at the moment Valve is the only one trying to develop the linux market.
What I am getting at is that publishers see the level of take that Apple and Google are making off the mobile app stores and don't want to be in that same situation on the PC. Sure you can download and install software independently on windows, but if there is a store front installed with windows by default it will inherently grab a huge market share & if it grabs enough market share microsoft can start saying things like "if you want to be listed in our store your software can ONLY be listed in our store".
The only real solution to that is to break up the PC market base. If games start running on linux then one of that last barriers starts to disappear. It doesn't need to be huge %s but get a linux install base to 10% and you are starting to talk a serious amount of money to publishers.
There isn't the cracking base targetting linux binaries currently so games for that platform are less likely to be pirated. But there is nothing inherent about that. And most of the older games you are talking about will work just find under wine. It is the newer programs that dont.
Bugger that sucks. Which distro are you using? I have mint 14 on one machine and mint 17 on another, so both using pulse but no issues. I would need to test the suspend resume though as I never use that feature. But I certainly don't have any noise
I don't know. Now audio just seems to work on my linux machines. Analogue, optical, surround, hdmi so from my perspective it seems pretty good. I've no doubt that there are some issues somewhere but I haven't run into them for years.
Ubuntu has form in this area. PulseAudio and Unity are two of the biggest examples. They were pushed out before they were ready and made life hell. It was a major factor in me leaving that distro.
Actually I think you are wrong. Not because of any desire to support Linux but out of a desire by developers to support linux but a desire to protect themselves from a Microsoft own online store monopoly. Microsoft are clearly looking to create a store that is there by default in every windows install. What published won't want is to be held over a barrel to sell to windows. If 10% of the market is linux and there is a platform, ie steam, that lets you sell to that market, then the game will support it.
This will however only happen as the next generation of game engines are released.
Why not? It does it very well. I play plently of games in Linux, some of them even AAA games. Sure there are still lots of games that are windows only but there are heaps that work in Linux and it's not just random indie games.
Because it is a low priority case with a high resource investment needed to solve. It is why hitting that hospital was such a bad idea. Someone's how PC is irrelevant, potentially killing someone in a hospital - hugely important.
I would have assumed that it would have come from a Linux or BSD based one rather than a windows one.... The systems are much closer than windows to mac.
Maybe its been edited since you read it but the summary contains links to the developer as well now. It even points out that the binaries have been compiled by softpedia.
Personally I don't have a problem with this article. It is about a great piece of software that lots of us have a use for. Ideally it wouldn't have come via softpedia but that doesn't make the news not worthy.
I have no idea. But in the US nuclear licensees are required to hold decommissioning funds which average $300-$400 million. Given these are part of the operational cost of the plant I expect they are counted. Whether that is enough for cleanup is a different question of course.
Right, so you want to ignore something written in April, 2015 by multiple people and a huge organisation as being too out of date in exchange for a paper written by one person with a particular focus on moving to solar and wind?
The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is a measure of a power source which attempts to compare different methods of electricity generation on a comparable basis. It is an economic assessment of the average total cost to build and operate a power-generating asset over its lifetime divided by the total energy output of the asset over that lifetime. The LCOE can also be regarded as the minimum cost at which electricity must be sold in order to break-even over the lifetime of the project.
Projected LCOE in the U.S. by 2020 (as of 2015) Power generating technology Minimum Average Maximum NG: Advanced CC with CCS 93.3 100.2 110.8 Advanced Nuclear 91.8 95.2 101
You could just drive along Ocean Drive and get out of your car. You would be closer to the plant than where this guy popped up. He is not inside the plant at this stage.

Inside the craft....
They will be simulating a manned atmosphere inside the craft before igniting it.

Picasa had a linux version for a long time too.
Ok some alternatives then, Prison Architect - https://www.introversion.co.uk..., Europa Universalis 4 - http://www.europauniversalis4.....

There is a Microsoft product I would be willing to buy though.
Imagine Microsoft releases the Windows Interface Layer. Allowing you to run all your windows applications on any platform.
