It also depends where you are in the plant. In most places, radiation is at background level. It's only if you're inside the containment, or closer, that you'll get any kind of elevated dose. So it's really just radiation scaremongering.
I always buy ex-business/lease printers for the friends&family support network. They're built like tanks, run forever, and a single toner cartridge will run for 5-10,000 pages, a lifetime supply for most people. Since they're ex-business/lease they've been maintained, and you can get them for $20-50 for a formerly $1,000 printer.
There's also a huge difference between "encrypted" and "secure". The headline should really read "Firefox Prepares To Mark All Otherwise OK Sites that Haven't got a Free Cert from Lets Encrypt or Comodo 'Not Secure'". Since Let's Encrypt and Comodo will happily hand out certs to phishers, crooks, fraudsters, and scammers, and any crook worth their salt will get a cert because of the way browsers pretend this makes the site better, the adverse-selection principle means you may be safer on a non-HTTPS site.
Also, it's an Obama initiative, of course Trump is going to kill it. If Obama had set up a facility that cured cancer, Trump would shut it down just because it came from Obama.
I once worked at a company where "essential" meant "the computer that handles payroll". Seriously. When there was a major power outage, that was the first system for which UPS power got checked.
It's a shitty bitcoin miner, even with several hundred thousand in the botnet. I'm making more money selling the ones located on.gov addresses to the FSB.
Sick building syndrome. A 1950s brutalist bunker, probably filled with asbestos and other toxic building materials, that sat mostly unused and undermaintained for decades and was only fully reoccupied a few years ago. You don't need to resort to alien mind-control-rays or similar to come up with things that would affect people working in that environment.
Even when he did his own research, stumbling across EFF's website on fair use, he still would not believe me.
Your son has all the makings of a fine upstanding citizen-unit. Obey, Consume, Conform, Submit, Marry and reproduce, No independent thought. Buy, Watch TV. Do not question authority.
Unfortunately it seems like they're going to keep pushing thinness, sleek aluminium and glass design
That's an unfortunate side-effect of having the design driven by hipsters rather than engineers. I really, really, really don't care if some phone is 0.1mm thinner than someone else's (or 1mm, or 2mm, who'll even notice?), I just want good battery life.
Unfortunately the hipsters have dictated that it has to be thin, and who cares if half the phone users on the planet have to carry external battery packs with them wherever they go, look at how hip and thin it is!
Can I get the set of lighter apps for my non-Go phone? Even better, can I get the hundreds of megabytes of non-uninstallable Google crap bloatware scraped off my phone?
It's a sign that even Google have finally realised how much crapware they shovel onto each Android phone when they have to do a "lite" (meaning manages to run in a mere 512MB-1GB, about the same as a Cray 2 supercomputer) version of their bloat.
Of those 600, 599 are on the standing committee that decides, by voice vote and occasionally by coin toss, what UI features are going to change in this week's version of Firefox. The other guy is Geoff. Geoff does all the coding.
The "forging of heavy metals, like gold and platinum" is old news too. Gold round the outside, tungsten on the inside, and hey presto, one 100% pure RBC or Credit Suisse gold bar, all the way from China. You don't need neutron stars for that, just Alibaba.
Hey, I've been accused of being Satoshi. Seriously, some guy had a long list of suspicious correlations and coincidences which indicated that I could be Satoshi. Since he said he was going to "out" me in public, I had to respond, basically telling him his coincidences were just that, and that given my opinion of BTC I'd be pretty unlikely to be Satoshi.
I have an even better plan: To deal with net neutrality issues, everyone should buy $mycompany's stuff. Buy $mycompany's stuff. That will fix net neutrality issues.
Well, for me anyway, I'll have enough money to buy all the bandwidth I need. Scaling it up is left as a homework exercise.
Funny you should mention that, I was just about to send a friend a link to a story referenced on here and noticed after I'd clicked send that it wasn't the story itself but some AMP man-in-the-middle attack version courtesy of Google. How about they just turn this crap off and give us the real, original content, not Google's version of the content.
Seriously, if you've got something where you need to force yourself to get used to it then that something, whatever it is, has a problem. When was the last time you heard someone say they'd had to force themselves to get used to a Model M/Dinovo Edge/WASD Code/insert-choice-here? You just use it once and know it's The Right Thing. If you need to force yourself to use something, then it's definitely not right.
Definitely. I've talked to one of the Harmony designers (from before Logitech bought them) about how they designed the thing. If you have any complaints about the Harmony remotes, look at what else was available at the time the Harmony came out. The Harmony guys used to take their competitors' products with them when they did demos, to show off just how absolutely terrible everything else out there was.
As an extension, read up on every attempt to do this since the 1950s. Jeezus, they've been dreaming about this for sixty years and it's always just a decade or two away from being practical. This latest one isn't going to be any different.

a new set of lighter Google apps

Nahh, he's not being corrupt, he's just copying the style of President Clark.
They also had an interesting idea for the Galaxy Note 7, but many of their customers ended up getting burned by it.
All I can hear is a JPEG.
Firefox is maintained by six hundred people. Waterfox is maintained by Alex Kontos.
Waterfox is the better browser,

Poland cannot.

Have you considered sound-deadening foam and a new coat of paint? That would deal with all of those issues.

And I forced myself to get used to it
So it's like a abusive relationship?
