  1. Re:Nuke power on Japan Widens Evacuation Zone Around Fukushima · · Score: 1

    What news program were you watching that said "most of the workers died the next day"? You are saying you were watching a news program where they said "most" of them died the next day. You also said that "5000 - 10000" workers were used PER DAY. Based on that and assuming "most" is around 80% that means that 4,000-8,000 died PER DAY or 28,000-48,000 PER WEEK, which is different than 6k-10k per week you just said above.

    You see, numbers are funny things, and math is even funnier.

    "Most of then died the next days" Where do you get this information? What school did you go to? The WHO thinks that the final toll will be 4,000. Where are you seeing 250,000 to 1,000,000? Are you reading crackpot Russian webblogs or something?

    No, no grid in the world can effectively deliver power from a plant 3000 miles away. Wires don't work that way.

    50,000-250,000 people died from Chernobyl in 1986????? I must have been asleep. I've never heard this one before.

    The grid (any power grid) doesn't work that way. You cannot have plants from California powering homes in New York. If you are going to invest in energy related stocks you need to have a modicum of knowledge of the subject. A degree in EE would help as well.

    What? Download Linux, install it, compile/run programs on it. Tens of millions of people have done this already. Authenticode? Who cares about the warning, ignore it and continue. Are you being serious or are you a troll? Be a problem solver. I would not hire you for sure.

    With prepay you are loaning the company money interest-free and guaranteeing them income whether you use the card or not. Its a great deal for companies, but a bad deal for you. Companies love pre-paid/gift cards because many of the cards never get used at all!

    Agree. When did Fog Creek become the gold standard in the software industry? The company I work our own bug tracking software, yet selling some bug tracking software makes Fog Creek an expert on how to do software development?

    My impression of Fog Creek software is that they make bug reporting software that my company could write in about a month.

    The US has much better networks than Europe. Plus we have 4G LTE deployed, and have created the iphone and android. Of course you will be modded up and me down but that's the breaks. BTW, on Sprint you get 4G and unlimited data. And speaking of wars, I'm pretty sure Europe has started a few all by itself and still continues to be involved in them.

    No, there is no law against injection of html in a stream which is what we are discussing in this particular thread. If you believe there to be please show us the law that says it is illegal for a service provider to inject packets in a packet stream. I'm not sure why you made the comment about difference between legal frame injection and redirection - I certainly never mentioned that. Thank You.

    Baloney. This is not obviously illegal. It could be argued that Mediacom is allowed to do this. In fact there is precedent to allow this, where in television the local affiliate/cable company is allowed to insert their own commercials in commercial breaks.
