You cannot drink tap water? Tap water had a short spike, and it was never harmful for adults. You cannot eat anything because all is radioactive? This is another lie. Furthermore, if you live 321km from Fukushima, you will never have 30 times the radioactivity as before.
I live in Tokyo and Tokyo to Fukushima is 165 miles or 265 km. There were two spikes in radiation and those were still lower than in other cities. Radiation risks are mainly in the 20km zone in a cone out to 40/50km to the northwest of the plant.
The only thing I agree with you is the fact that the japanese government is not reliable at all. But that is nothing new. And if you really life here you would have known that for a very long time.
Did you read the article? This was a shoot out between OS X and Windows. If you would have read it, that there is another one done before that compares Windows 7 and Linux.
There wont be any reviews. This is a push service from the japanese government. Japanese phones have this system since a view years and if there is a major quake then an alert will be sent to your phone.
After the 3/11 quake (which was not alerted in Tokyo as the epi center was up in the north) the ringing sound was constant thing at the office.
Yeah, I played around 16h or so and it just gets boring when the same bloody cave is used again and again and again. At least in ME 1 the modules were put together in a slight different way.
Plus the whole story is... not there. DA II feels so... wired and you never get into the whole thing. It is not vomit bad, but far from DA: Origins (thought I never finished that one, because I couldn't beat the final Dragon).
I am sorry, but for me it is the other way around. While facebook is still the same boring single messages with no content I have very interesting and long discussions on Google+. Most of my updates go to G+, most people I often talk with are on G+. It probably comes down to whom you have in your circles. If they just went there and did nothing, or if they are actually using it.
After the big earthquake in Japan we see this different. Electricity won't go out in a worldwide cloud net, compared to the servers that might be in a location that is affected by possible lights out plans...
It still doesn't make sense. If you need something very fast you will still use air-freight. And for the rest shops are much cheaper and carry much more freight than any "high speed" freight train could. And there are no high speed freight trains.
With prices about 50.000 to 100.000 USD? People from the country side? They can never ever ever ever afford this. This is a huge bubble that will seriously damage China. Worse than what happend in the US.
They can still complain, because we can still read it online. But no one will listen to them, and then one day you cannot read of them anymore, because they get silently censored.
So much for free speak in america.
The internet is just too scary for the people in power. They see their control slipping away, so they will slowly turn it into a consume only medium like TV is.
Their GUI still looks horrible in OS X. Like a home made app by someone who never heard about the native UI. Besides that there is no real reason to use it. But still I try it every time, just for the fond memories I have of it. Back when Netscape 4 was horrible and Opera 3 ruled them all. And was worth to be payed... yes, worth it.
I never relied on any special editor. As long at it has code word highlight I am fine. VIM (or any other text editor) will not go away. And if you stick with oldschool workhorses like VIM (or EMACS, or whatever) you can be pretty sure your web pages will be the same forever.
OS 9 run very fine on the first PowerMacs, so you could buy Macs that will run OS X and can run OS 9 too. We had that here (for a long time).
And OS 9 to OS X was a huge change, but nothing like dumping OS X and go iOS.
Seriously? Why is this always coming up. If someone would say MS will drop the usual UI and just use their mobile UI for all future Windows OS everybody would call me crazy. But say that about OS X and suddenly everybody seems to agree that this will happen.
I really want to know where all this "OS X is toast" rumors come from.
iOS is nice on an iPhone, acceptable on an iPad but unusable anywhere else. Ever tried to write a blog entry on tumblr and wanted to upload a picture from your ipad photo library. OH SORRIZ no go. This alone will annoy a lot of people.
Besides the fact that iOS was created for a touch interface and OS X is not. A normal Mac (or PC) is a keyboard/mouse interfaced computer. As nice as touch is, it sucks big on many things. Just the fact that your fat finger hovers over everything you want to actually click and so on.
OS X will be there and will continue to be there for the next foreseeable future.
Let's forget Germany here and look at Austria. We boast we are non nuclear (we have one full ready, never stocked, never turned on) and say NO to nuclear energy. We get most of our electricity from water (river, damns), coal, a bit oil and gas. A think you can forget wind here. There are no constant wind areas.
Water is great in spring to autumn, but in winter, when rivers are low and glaciers are frozen we import energy from our nuclear producing neighbor countries...
Thanks to a reliable inner Europe electricity network. As usual "we don't do nuclear", but that the electricity then gets imported from France or some other country is easily forgotten.
First, 300.000 people will NOT die because of Fukushima. Never. Ever. For that we would have to had an open core burning fire.
Nuke will never go away, because there are no big alternatives.
Worst case is that because of this, no new plants will be built and in a view years all the old plants planned to be decommissioned and replaced by new ones will be extended and become real ticking time bombs.
Slashdot Mirror
He probably doesn't know japanese and only watched the foreign news and is still in panic mode.
The people who really life in Japan watched NHK and knew what was actually happening.
And as you say, TEPCO never denied a core meltdown, they just said they do not know because they cannot look into the reactor or get even near to it.
You live 200 miles from the plant, that is 321km.

See the Fukushima radiation map here: http://www.japanprobe.com/2011/05/10/fukushima-radiation-map/
There is a long to the KML file on the page. Now everybody can see it.
That would make it post modern art and therefore art again.
I see you've never seen a joke...
Did you read the article? This was a shoot out between OS X and Windows. If you would have read it, that there is another one done before that compares Windows 7 and Linux.
I think you have on or two tabs too many.
This is a non argument. Photoshop for Mac doesn't have a single GUI interface either, just because the Windows version has.
I personally think the single Window interface is horrible.

ok, wow, I played the whole game down to all side missions and what not else and never skipped any dialog but I totally missed this part. Awesome.

MSR are not paper study. They have been setup and run for several years in the 60s.
We just prefer to buy new bombs to kill people than invest in science to find out new ways (or better ways) to create electricity.

Because they just goof around. And don't really any work ...
