Those who use the almost 30 years of studies on Chernobyl instead of counter-pulling sensationalized numbers. Anyone coming up with numbers larger than those studies have their arm so deep in bullshit that their shoulder smells.
Despite the accident being much worse and the fallout being over land, the numbers affected are counted in thousands, dixit: "for a total of 9000 Chernobyl-associated fatal cancers". You could reasonably claim that Fukushima should affect one tenth that number and use 1000 as the death cap.
Back of the envelope calculations, but at least it doesn't smell.
Everybody with an IQ above room temperature knows that homeopathy is complete and utter bullshit.
Well, if some NewAge customer wants you to sell them homepopathic remedies it's good business to serve them. Much better than letting them find a competitor. Should libraries stop selling religious books because it's all crock?
We can shun M$, McD or any other other company we dislike. If we allow Monsanto to hide from consumers, we won't be able to treat them the same way. Would you pay more for Canadian bacon, or do you prefer God-blessed American one?
This guy pissed off some folks who are making claims in bad faith,
I am not sure it's that black and white.
I watched the 16 minutes first part. There are maybe 2 minutes of original video at the start and 2 more minutes of a Foo Fighter music video, leaving about 10 minutes of House of Number material.
He really did a convincing work on the montage and the voice-over, but NPOV must agree the majority of the video came from the deniers. Now I don't know how far fair use goes, but maybe they really have a case there. How did MST3K handle that?
Add to this that that era went from roughly 700 to 1400 with Leonardo da Vinci at the reverse point. Assuming western civilisation lasts just as long, we should be safe until 2100 or so. At least with tongue deeply in cheek.
But you see, rebuilding a down tower or two is a quick task. These things happen regularly and as long as the power station is fine, it should be back up in less than a week. Blasting bridges or overpasses would be a bigger pain to fix. And neither of those are sexy enough for our terrorist friends: not enough bang for the bucks.
A guided tour would offer more than what google satellite maps does, I don't know how critical that extra information could be and maybe the "security reasons" is just because they're too lazy to find out. Security through obscurity.
JazzScheme backend was redone in Gambit/C and Cairo about 5 years ago, that was the "hundreds of thousands of lines of C code were replaced by about 30,000 lines of Gambit." The project owner is Guillaume Cartier, but Marc Feeley and some of his students were involved.
The ERP project build using JazzScheme flopped some time ago for the usual reasons.
Dixit Wikipedia: "To provide crash protection for occupants not wearing seat belts, U.S. airbag designs trigger much more forcefully than airbags designed to the international ECE standards used in most other countries. "
When you are not wearing a seatbelt, the airbag will get there earlier to compensate. Maybe you were thinking about children, which represent more than half the airbag deaths.
There are no assinine rules of English spelling... because there are no rules to English spelling.
I defiantly agree with you. In principal, bad spelling could effect understanding. But as long as you reed it out loud, the sounds recapture there meaning. If the Japanese can hubble with wards such as kurisumasu, so can we.
13% of the U.S. population is black but they commit 50% of all murders and 55% of all robberies.
Well if 50% of "the poor" are black, that's normal. Mentioning one fact but not the other, that's what's racist.
Lies, damn lies and statistics. You have to use all the numbers to show which precise population is abnormally at risk. Not do sweeping generalizations.
And if you do random "stop and frisk" at a place where 90% are black, make sure 10% of your random targets aren't black.
The analog I was referring to are, in this case, letter shapes. They don't need to be approximated with discrete pixels when you're using movable type, for example, or carved woodblocks; and even etched plates can use analog curves if the master image does, hence, no anti-aliasing.
The topic was anti-aliased font, in printed books. You'll be hard-pressed finding one of those that didn't go through a RIP, hence digital.
The analog workflow (be it manual typesetting or direct carving of master plates) is only used in limited artisitic endeavor. The goalposts have been moved off-topic.
Generally, books are printed with a press. Whether it uses movable type or etched plates, the printing technology is analog, even if digital technology is used to lay out the plate or type. That's why I made the distinction between analog vs. digital... analog type don't need to be anti-aliased, since their "pixels" are effectively molecules.
Ink spread softens the "pixel" edges, but calling molecules "pixels" might make people believe you have that level of control.
My statement about digital print was a hasty generalization. In retrospect, it's probably only a handful of digital printers that are capable of anti-aliasing, like one with 2-bit grayscale pixels that I read about somewhere.
You mean hexachrome printing, or at least a gray ink in addition to black?
No, the real problem is that ink has one and only one intensity and you cannot thin it out for anti-aliasing. And because of misregistration, using a second color will be counterproductive. Read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_(printing) if you don't understand why.

That makes it clear, thank you.

The only way to truly prevent bitrot is by maintaining at least three complete copies of the data, and regularly compare between them.
Erm, no. Hamming(7,4) doesn't even need double the space, and that was 60 years ago.
cartechboy reports for greencarreports.com, also mentioned in a forum post by ivan@ivanv.com. Could it be an orchestrated campaign? No, impossible!
Can we go back to the pink ponies style, I think I liked that better.

Any true american failsafe mechanism will work half the time. Anything more and it's a communist conspiracy!

That and other rickrolls.
Oh, we will off it entirely.
They're running IIS, that should be punishable by law.
They're broke. I think that's punishment enough.
