There are 9 nuclear nations: France, the UK, China, Russia, the USA, India, Pakistan, Israel, and North Korea. Out of those, the first 5 are all recognized in the NPT. India, Pakistan, and Israel never signed the NPT. North Korea withdrew. Which 4 are you talking about?
North Korea has a huge assortment of artillery buried in the mountain that's designed to survive almost short of a nuke. And speaking of nukes, they have those as well. I doubt they could cause much damage to the US, but they could cause a lot to South Korea, China, and Japan.
The US is more likely to attack Iran. It needs some war, but it would be easier to get away with one against a country with a supposed WMD program that is sponsoring terrorists than one that definitely has a WMD program. Also, all of the NK refugees would spill into China and SK. Neither of those countries could deal with them.
China is only supporting the DPRK as a buffer between it and South Korea. They would Abba abandon it as soon as a war starts. I'm sure they have having an unpredictable nuclear state on their border just as much as the ROK.
I wouldn't really say it's been working in China. The government's rich, but the average person is pretty bad off. I'd agree with you on the other places, though.
England should get the.en domain. Whales should get thu.wl domain. Northern Ireland should get a domain, but.ni is taken..st,.sd,.so, and.st are taken, but I'm sure some domain could be thought of for Scotland.
It's not that it's too hard to set up. All you need to do is boot up a live CD, go through some easy configuration, and click install. If you are missing a driver, it's more complicated, but I think most hardware is supported. The problem is that most users go with the OS that comes with their computer, rather than installing a different one.
So far, there wasn't been any Google TV that would be the equivalent of a Nexus. I want a TV that runs stock Google TV software and is guaranteed to get updates. I'd also like to see Google TV merged with Android, but that probably wouldn't be announced at CES.
If I found a good reader that supported Google Play Books, I'd buy it. I don't like splitting myself across different digital ecosystems, so I try to keep my whole life on Google instead of using Amazon. I'd rather use e-ink, but I'd rather use my Nexus 7 to read than a Kindle or Nook.
Cue the posts about Google being evil...
Every major tablet OS has the right tools for doing this. I would suggest getting a tablet with a keyboard (like the MS Surface or ASUS Transformer Pad), or getting a 10 inch tablet with a bluetooth keyboard.
I don't see what the big deal about Surface tablets/phones is for OEM's. It's the Windows Phone equivalent of the Nexus: quick updates and no programs added by the OEM. I don't see Samsung or HTC getting mad that they aren't making the Nexus 4. This is the exact same thing.

Huh. I live pretty close to the shoreline and don't remember any abnormally high waves.
I'm reading this in an RSS reader. It's not pleasant needing to go to the site for every new article.
All four nuclear nations

What is the RNK? Do you mean DPRK?

We could. Then, refugees would flood China and South Korea. Neither of those countries could deal with it.
Whenever we cut off aid, North Korea throws a tantrum and does a nuclear test. We promptly restore food shipments.

Why can't there be a headline that doesn't make me want to move to Sweden?
Um, why is this News For Nerds?
Why? All this is is modularizing KDE by splitting it into separate parts. This probably won't affect the end user at all, just the developers.

Isn't L4D 2 already coming to Linux?
Brace yourself! The year of the Linux desktop articles are coming.

I was wondering that too...
Ubuntu, followed by Kubuntu. I'll also play around with openSUSE, but I'm an early adopter and it just isn't cutting edge enough.
and one which the US won't miss if an imperial fuckton of bombs happened to vaporize it!
Re-read what you just wrote, and ask yourself if you are on the good side or the bad side.
I vote good.
