For the ribbon, I hate it. On computers at work, i either install libre office, when the company IT allows, or I use this : http://www.ubit.ch/software/ubitmenu-languages/ which is really great for having back my menus in MS office 2007/2010 !!
For me, the ribbon is inconsistent and encombering the screen. I will not spend a 1 month learning curve, just because MS wants me to get locked in to a crappy UI. Many people are like that.
Libreoffice is really great. Calc and writer are surpassing MSOffice 2010.
>> that would put Japan back in the stone age.
Wrong.
that would put Japan back in the oil age. which it did not even left.
For now, Japan is lighting with candles, and making strong energy savings, that were really needed.
But has there to be a catastrophic failure like this to stop playing with fire ?
Seriously, after some explosions and a better technology emerging, steam machines were shelved. How much Fukushimas and Tchernobyls are there left before we definitely shelve this dangerous and obsolete fire ?
Very true. It has nothing to do neither with "cold", nor with "shutdown"
according to wikipedia a shutdown is a specified state, with no fuel movements, and all elements in a state clearly defined in the spec or manual.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutdown_(nuclear_reactor)
The actual situation in the 1,2,3 reactors is of course light years away from that. Even the location of the fuel is unknown, it's temperature, movements, cooling. Nothing is known else than the fact that the pierced and empty container which was one called reactor is slowly reaching lower temp and pressure. how can it be otherwise ? could a pierced container not equalize pressure ?
In fact, they speak about reactors, but there are not any "reactors" any more, as most of the fuel is in the ground.
Therefore, measuring the temperature of a nearly empty pierced steel container makes absolutely no sense.
Now that SSL is completely broken, please use it on a wide scale, so we can still listen and track you.
Seriously, it consumes much more electricity and ressources. Why pushing for this broken system? it's insecure since years, and very cumbersome for admins
We need a good, fast, cheap, secure replacement that will encrypt all our IP communications, transparently, decentralized.
There are valid proposals.
While security by obscurity does work marginally and individually, it simply does not scale.
Secure open crypto systems scale much better. Why ? because the more they grow, the more scrutiny and improvement they get.
Secure by obscurity do not scale. Why ? because the more they grow, the more potential they have for attacks, and they don't get proportionally more scrutiny by security experts, researchers, developers.
Actually, 100 nuclear reactors have a probability of some percents to blow, every year.
And that's without external influence, like loss of cooling due to a dry river in a hot summer, or flooding after rupture of a uphill dam, terrorist attack, war attack (seems like an easy and non moving obvious target)...
Seriously, guys, I am German.
The global spying and people control we see today in USA is at the same leven than in the former east germany, and that was really a bad situation.
I'll never ever travel to USA again. I tink you'll continue to lose much tourist revenue...
We don't hate USA.
The US is just a very bad example for democracy.
Do you think other governments will bother with privacy, free speech, and justice, when even USA does not ?
I heard that USA advocates democracy in some countries. They should not do so, they are a very very bad example.
A nuclear criticity is inherenly unstable.
Also "shutting down" works only in ideal conditions. When the fuel is liquid, it accumulates, and there is no easy way to stop that uncontrolled criticity.
Also, every piece of material present around is made radioactive by induced radioactivity and contamination. So scrapping a plant is impossible (you can, at most, store the plant in pieces elsewhere, as very dangerous junk.) All this waste will leak, no matter what is done against. All containment materials degrade after decades.
So there is, and there will be more and more consumed land.

Yes, France reprocesses.
and it's a disaster.
To recover 2-3% U and Pu, they pollute the atlantic, the air contamination can be measured across europe, and the resulting waste (98%) is concentrated, and very dangerous. Also, an insane quantity of UF6 and other wastes are illegally exported to Russia, and "store" it under open sky...
Hello
Fukushima Dai ichi is the worst dump site possible !
First it is situated directly over many future earthquakes. It can be reached by :
- tsunamis
- tropical storms and hurricanes, very common in this region
- erosion
- geological unstability
- ground water
Therefore, any stored material stored will, in a few years, leak without home to the ocean.
In the lifetime of waste (million years), nearly all material will leak.

Only surveillance remains. You are not anonymous. You are tracked by your own technology.

Ulm does this on a quite good scale since at least 2 years, so it's not the first
People wo don't believe the evidence just try to discuss it away. You can'T discuss away the earth.
