    Emergency shutdown means the reactor can be restarted in "a couple of weeks"

    When we had that massive power outage around the great lakes a few years back due to the transmission line issue. Bruce Nuclear here in Ontario did an emergency shutdown. It was back up and running in 8 hours after the initial outage.

    It's still amusing given how pointless and little-read "gaming journalism" really is. The GGers, the anti-GGers, and the gaming journalists all think that anything other than a small percentage of people who play games actually listens to any of their nonsense.

    Considering that GG has done nothing but expand over the last 6mo, it does seem that people are listening to and paying attention to it. Then again, if you have any passing desire for people who report on things, to act in a ethical and objective manner it matters to you. Otherwise I'm sure you're quite happy with kotaku or gawker brand click-bait telling you how you're a terrorist for playing video games.

    And don't get me wrong, GamerGate is one of the silliest things I've heard about in a while.

    It's only silly until you realize exactly how corrupt "gaming journalism" actually is. After all, who would want the media to not be full of people who are shilling for people they're banging/living with/or are friends with. Even the MSM has long figured out how to recuse themselves from topics they're too close to.

    Most likely, and I'm curious how they got the rights for it. Even for the kickstarter, since the only company that currently has rights to make a game on the WoT universe is Obsidian.

  8. I am vaguely amused that the good old Grope and Flail is now considered communist left. I mean, seriously?

    It has been for about 5-6 years now after they changed their editorial direction. They thought they saw the path of politics going left, and followed TorStar the hemorrhaging of subs didn't stop though, it accelerated.

  9. Well if NAPO is "the Fox News paper of Canada" then Globe and Mail and The Star are Pravda. Which means we don't have a centrist paper.

    Microsoft still hasn't announced how much a Windows 10 license will cost. And don't reply with "it's free" because not everyone runs Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1.

    FYI it's the current governments dislike of the CRTC and them pissing all over consumers by having "golf meetings" with members of the industry that caused the CRTC to think carefully. Especially after the threats to rip away their mandate regarding the internet.

A lot of stuff flying around the biggest theory is that the ddos against infinite chan was done by a group of mods with his consent.

    euphemism

    No it's a euphemism for a group of people who whine, bitch and moan because they think they're special snowflakes and would rather the world work on their idea of justice, or promotion. Instead of merit, and law. Note that the UVA scandal is an example of SJW's in action, so was the whining and moaning over Mozilla's president being fired for making donations on his own time to a group.

    You can try and label it as the "scary conservative bogyman" but you're only proving one thing. That you actually have no substantial argument that people are right in calling them the bottom feeders of society.
