SHHHHH!!! I'm trying to win an argument on the internet:-p Leaving out information you know that the other person doesn't is one of the key methods of winning debates;-)
I'll remind you who started with the personal attacks. Pots, kettles etc.
When you finish high school you will find it isn't quite so petty and that pretending to be an idiot won't have quite the same effect that you seem to be expecting.
Please discuss this seriously instead of pretending to be stupid just to win points in some high school style debate game
. . Now, since you finally seem to be taking me seriously:
Because it isn't worse unless you use a very silly way of measurement that insults your own intelligence as well as anyone reading it.
Please clarify your position as to why using Sieverts as a unit of measurement is a bad idea for comparing radiation exposure. According to the Sieverts unit of measurement, Denver has 10X higher radiation than the decontaminated area surrounding Fukishima. The Sievert is designed to measure the amount of ionising radiation absorbed by human tissue. What better method for measurement would your propose?
Different types of radiation.
Please also clarify why you think the radiation at Fukishima and at Denver are different types.. If they are different types of radiation, what types are they?
What is different types of radiation? The stuff from the contamination around Fukishima vs the stuff from Radon gas in Denver? No, they're exactly the same.
You haven't given a single piece of information that suggests in what way I am wrong. You say the radiation around Fukishima and Denver are different types of radiation, what types are they then? You say Sieverts, the measurement of absorption of radiation by human tissue, is a "silly way" of measuring radiation, what would be a better way?
The fact that you think I'm pretending to be stupid... well, maybe what I'm saying is just going waay over your head?
My conclusion? You are a troll. Trolli-troll troll troll troll. I don't think the tertiary institution that gave me my degree would agree with you that I'm in high school. Although maybe you're just an outdated fogey who can't tell the difference between anybody under the age of 30? But I think your nurse is calling, it's your bed time now. Nighty night, don't let the catheter bite.
A silly way of measurement, being Sieverts, the measurement of effective ionising radiation absorbed by human tissue? Here, have a read. In fact, let me get you the first sentence from that page so you don't even have to:
"The sievert (symbol: Sv) is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of equivalent radiation dose, effective dose, and committed dose. Quantities that are measured in sieverts are designed to represent the stochastic biological effects of ionizing radiation." (emphasis mine)
If you think this is like a high-school style debate game, well, welcome to science, where arguments are evaluated on their merit, and it is generally advisable to know what you're talking about if you don't want to sound like an idiot.
The energy comes from your foot hitting the ground, energy which would otherwise be absorbed by your joints and muscles. Of course you'll never get all of it back, but you'll get more of it back than if you didn't have the rubber there.
What we really need is two competitions: one with as much doping as you think your body can take, and another which is as strict as possible. That way we still have the 'pure human' competition, but we can also see crazy muscleheads with no testicles getting into full rage mode on the uphills.
No, a false dilemma is when only a fixed number of options are presented, when in actuality there are many more. Although I can understand how you got confused, I didn't present Denver as the only other place to live. What I did was point out the hypocrisy of those who say that the contamination is bad - if Fukishima is so bad, why aren't we complaining about the natural radiation from Denver, which is 10 times worse?!?!? Why don't we boycott food grown in Denver? Why don't we declare it as unsafe for human habitation?
Just out of interest, you might like to know that more people have been killed by breached hydro-electric than by breached nuclear. In fact, in a single accident, ~171,000 people were killed by hydro. And the thing is, I don't think they really cared whether it was nuclear or hydro that killed them, they are still dead. Solar panels use dangerous chemicals in their manufacture. Wind requires massive constructions projects. Tidal requires massive amounts of dangerous maintenance. Hydro displaces anybody who lived in the catchment area. And in comparison, they produce so little energy compared to nuclear that to get equivalent outputs, they are downright dangerous.
Here, some facts might help you. Seriously, read that before you respond. Notice what the safest thing is? Sure, nuclear fuel is highly poisonous, but we need *so little* of it that in the big picture it really doesn't matter. In fact, naturally, Uranium decays into Radon, a highly radioactive gas (which is the main source of radiation in Denver). So, by using the Uranium for fuel, we actually reduce the amount of Radon, making the world safer in the future. Neat, huh?
The idea of a name is that you can use it to refer to a third party even when that party isn't present, ie. imitating another's 'fingerprint' so that you can be sure you are both referring to the same person. The wolves don't do that, they are just capable of recognising certain howls as belonging to certain owners, much like recognising somebodies face.
Like I commented above, this still makes the 'contaminated' areas have lower radiation exposure than somewhere like Denver. Not sure why everybody is so scared and up-in-arms. I'm no fanboy, but do I think nuclear is one of the safest power generating methods we have at our disposal.
What we need to do is evaluate them in terms of deaths/gigawatt-hours. But even then nuclear comes out ahead of coal, hydro and wind. Only solar is ahead.
The cleaned areas have a radiation level of 1mS a year. To put that into perspective, people living in Denver get 11.8mS a year from natural sources. This area is NOT uninhabitable. Not that this makes TEPCO any less foolish...
I also remember "Attack of the killer tomatoes". That doesn't make it good. For me, Skyfall brought back a lot of the classic 'bondiness', the evil villain with a fantastic lair, the stealth, the beautiful cars, the class. Bond is about more than beautiful women and explosions. I connected with Skyfall like I haven't connected with a Bond movie in a long time..
Why is rooting it such a big deal? As long as they are using C/C++ for any kernel/root level code, there will always be exploits for privilege escalation.
This. The same reason why they don't let you choose the permissions for the apps as you install them, or make rooting the phone a one-click procedure. They just need to demonstrate that they are putting an effort in to stop teh evul hackerz and the content providers and app publishers have no basis to file a lawsuit that Google is intentionally causing them financial harm.
No, they weren't reopened. They were, however, assigned to a prosecutor and an extradition was filed to bring him into the country for 'questioning' (like they can't send someone to question him where he is now).
Also, I might add, this happened (prosecutor assigned) 2 days after he leaked the US diplomatic cables, after having lain discarded for months. Odd how the timing of these things works out, isn't it?
Are you talking about the guy who was charged with rape by a 'witness' who refused to sign the testimony, for which all charges were initially dropped, then reopened once he leaked the US diplomatic cables?
Sorry, but HTC hasn't been able to keep up with demand for the One, so I'd say that HTC is back in the running. Just because they didn't go insane-advertising-huge-prestock doesn't mean they aren't selling like crazy.
It's like they think we can't tell the difference between a movie targeting our demographic and a good movie. Just because it targets our demographic doesn't mean we'll enjoy it.

When you spend $300 for a "hexiform rotational compression device" (AKA 'nut') spending more than everybody else isn't that difficult.

No, most of the energy is stored in the rubber so as the foot leaves the ground it gives a push. Using rubber makes you faster.

And does it blend?

Custom kernel, re-implement/intercept calls to KeyChain.IsBoundKeyAlgorithm(). Fixed.

Boohoo, somebody called me an idiot. Not.

Well, now her website needs to be blocked, or she's a massive hypocrite.

No, it's currently in Vatican City.
