Does it really need to be said that the Japanese lost control of exactly 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000% of their nuclear fuel
They may not have lost any of the uranium, but the Cs-137 and I-131 aren't magic out of fucking nowhere. They're decay products from the uranium. The fuel lost mass. They are part of the fuel.
It's been a while, I'm a bit rusty. The point was that SNES was an immense improvement over the NES's serious limitations in colour. Whether it is 25 or 16 is fairly immaterial.
The early consoles couldn't even take care of the available resolution. NES was 256x240. Not to mention the 16 colour limitation on NES. SNES then looked better with the same (NTSC) display, as did N64. They were all major improvements on their predecessor.
I don't think you can improve that much on the existing consoles, definitely not the leaps and bounds they had in the early days.
Plain soap kills bacteria via destroying the cell walls. (I believe this is due to it drying out the cell wall, much like it dries out your hands by removing oils)
Ordinary soap kills bacteria too. In the same way that it removes oils / dries out your hands, it dries out the cell walls of bacteria, and kills them. I think it's called lysis.
Bingo. Bacteria can't evolve against ethanol or bleach, because of the nature of their attack. They can evolve resistance to triclosan and similar agents.
Hence - surfaces - use bleach or alcohol, as they can't be applied internally (no, you can't get drunk enough to kill bacteria;-) )
For hand washing and such, regular soap is fairly effective against bacteria. Triclosan doesn't really provide any benefit imo.
IBM's laptops, T series for example, are an industrial design masterpiece. tank-like, light, simple, just work. They're easy to work on (as far as laptops go). The most useable keyboards in the industry. The best money can buy, IMO.
They are lacking shiny though, and sans glowing fruit, so there is no religion formed about them.
But most the other big laptop outfits just make quasi shiny, ugly, plastic shit. it is true.
Marine diesel isn't like automotive stuff. There are various grades, but the heaviest fuel oil is that last fuel removed from a barrel. After, the only thing left of the barrel is bitumen. It's thick and nasty, but cheap.
I know there is already arsenic compounds in other devices (Some LED colours, GaAs based FETs, etc)
LED's aren't such an issue, because even when you kill them they usually stay contained within their epoxy. IC's and transistors on the other hand like to explode violently on occasion.
Just curious about the health hazards, if any apply. I've been known to kill some silicon on occasion;-)
'Of course we're not happy when people are pirating our games, so we are signing with legal firms and torrent sneaking companies,'
That makes it sound like they are going to seed the torrents, making it available. I can't see that being airtight - If the copyright owner is making the torrent available, a leacher should be able to assume that they were granted permission to download it, no?
Indeed. Talk about amateur night. Although I doubt you'll be able to withhold password from the FBI, they'll get it from you or you'll rot in jail anyhow.
dm-crypt works excellent though.
According to the summary he stole the files in 2006, and was busted with the files on his laptop on a stopover in 2009. WTF? Might want to just leave stuff like that on the server in china, once you've got it...
Either way, there wasn't anything physically stolen, just IP. So if it's copyrighted they could go after him for that in civil court, or if it's just a trade secret there could be some sort of breach of contract, which would also be civil?
The only way I could see this being a criminal offence would be if it was against the state, so they could portray it as treason, no?

Pretty much.
The only good war is the class war.
Nothing quite as arrogant as naming a ship "Invincible".
That's like the kids in grade school that come up with "Team Winner" as their team name.
Seems pretty common around here. Absolute lunacy.
It's a company FFS. They act like any perceived slight is the same as if you had called their mother a whore.
I wouldn't be surprised if the refrigerator has a whole /8, with the... lets say... inefficiency of some of the early allocations.
NAT is quite the abortion, and is only prolonging the inevitable.
Without it, we'd have switched over long ago.

How is this +4 informative?

I wasn't aware anyone here actually tried to read the full article.
My thoughts exactly. Americans seem to use a little more restraint in disappearing high(ish) profile folks.

The thing is, I think they're all "dirty"

Sounds interesting anyway.

Seems pretty bent to me either way.
Do you think it's unlikely that this info went upstream, to the US parent company though? Seems feasible to me.

Maybe I'm mistaken. Seems odd though.
I'm thinking the actual value is considerably less than they claimed, though.
