1. They are conducting whole population screening for thyroid cancer: it would be weird if they didn't found more of them than in other countries.
2. Thyroid cancer is not lethal, especially when detected early (see 1.). Other types of cancer have shown no increase.
3. You are contradicting yourself: "although long-term increases are difficult to quantify". Effects of coal fired power plants are much better understood and cause statistically significant increase in lung cancer and respiratory diseases.
The bottom line:
People killed by cancer that didn't work in clean-up after the biggest nuclear disaster: 3. Total death-toll, including on-site workers: around 150.
People that die in coal mining accidents yearly, in USA alone: 48
People that die because of coal-fired power plant induced lung cancer yearly, in USA alone: 2000
People that died after Vajont Dam overtopping in Italy (one of many many dam accidents, breaks and failures): around 2000
People that received significant dose of radiation during and after Fukushima accident: 2. Fukushima radiation-related death-toll: 0.
All this, when nuclear provides 6% of all global energy or 10% of global electricity demand. While coal provides only around 25% energy needs and hydro provides only 3% of energy. Coal and hydro are few magnitudes more lethal than nuclear. Most reactors in use are still Generation II (like Fukushima), while there are much much safer designs currently built in form of generation IV reactors.
how much is the basic question of all this stuff. There are places where people live with background radiation levles that would make any nuclear physicist run for the hills. So the question is how much pollution and how much radioactive contamination.
Sorry, my bullshit-o-meter went of the marks and gone "poof".
WHO estimates Chernobyl death-toll at 150. Fukushima radiation caused death-toll is still at 0, and it's very likely it will remain at 0 after the precautions TEPCO went to.
Apart from thyroid cancer (which is non fatal and treatable, unlike coal mining accidents), there was no statistically significant increase in leukaemia or other types of cancer in Ukraine and Belarus.
MS download sites are only a bit better, every time I visit them to download Yet Another Critical Security Hotfix it suggests me to install Silverlight, every time. And no, I don't have cookies disabled. MS is all about popups now.
you would gain more spaces by making all regular ones smaller by an inch than by removing all spaces for handicapped people. Disabled people really need them.
As if this wasn't a idiotic requirement in itself. Computers are insecure because the software that's running on them is shit (and users are morons, but that's unfixable by Trusted Computing), not because it has been modified by a 3rd party!
If you don't use TPM and encrypt everything past the bootloader with a password you need to provide every time you boot you're not susceptible to cold-boot attack. Linux dm-crypt and Truecrypt can do this.

Didn't the tigers get out of zoo lately?
Chernobyl didn't cause 2000 deaths, it caused around 150, I'll be astonished if Fukushima causes two.

Try something other than lager or pilsner...
By using someone else phone he didn't have to agree to software licence of the phone to use it.
He has the same policy with PCs running non Free software. He will use them, but tell the owner about Free and Open software.
Oh Microsoft, it's just like you have never left.
If current increase in coal mining will remain steady (as it had for past 70 years) there is coal for 60 to 80 years.

Why are you using Android in the first place when you could be using a real Linux distro?

Your reality distortion is so strong that for a second I actually thought it was a good idea. Ease on the power dude!
Oh, so it's like siege, but for SSL? neat!
Because all the people that can communicate in English (you know, only half the globe's population) know of every TLA and ETLA in use in US...
Same could be said of Hip-hop or rap. But we don't go around screaming that all listeners are drug-using, car-stealing idiots.
I at least have yet to meet a heavy-metal listener using his phone's speaker to "listen" to music.
No, Japan = 14 channels, EU = 13 channels, US = 11 channels, all starting at 2412MHz.
Japan has also extra 5GHz channels.

This, my N900 does support WPA2!
it has 3 non-overlapping channels everywhere except Japan, where it has 3 and a half non-overlapping channels...

Can't we just kill them already? They have produced nothing of value and are making the lives of other people miserable at best.
Handwriting is an obsolete skill they will never use in their lives.
because no one is using whiteboards in business meetings, especially small ones.
