if I understand correctly, fusion reactions (and explosions) are much cleaner than fission in terms of the types of radioactivity produced. The initial release of energy and burst of gamma rays sucks for everybody, but the subsequent fall out is not as bad and the isotopes decay a lot faster.
Can anybody help with their further insights here?
I was thinking about something similar. For windows, what's an "acceptable" number of critical flaw patches? If you really think about it, the only possible answer is zero. Any answer greater than zero must be unacceptable. So why do people put up with it?
A similar topic comes up when people talk about pedestrian deaths. What's an acceptable number of pedestrian deaths in a year? If you're intellectually honest with yourself the only acceptable number can be none.
I found one weird trick to stream every GoT episode from bing videos - search for "game of thrones". Seriously. it's so stupid how MS is so viciously focused on licenses and piracy on one hand, but on the other hand in a mad scramble to catch up to youtube will stream all manner of ripped tv shows, movies and pr0n. It's a seriously sketchy place.
fair enough. if we all become beings of light, we'll likely still want to have some physical manifestation. we'd have to design the layout of this manifestation in some way, and I guess CSS could be of use here.
not to mention nuclear war, climate change, etc. who knows if we'll even be using computers in 500 years? oh yeah and the impending singularity. we'll all become beings of light.
it's an interesting perspective. The nobel prize can't be given posthumously, the recipient must be alive. but what if the recipient is undead? this is a grey area.
Not at all. Argument to authority is saying, "this guy is right because he's him".
What I did was say, "this guy is right because his arguments pan out, because he's a smart and dedicated intellectual, because he's him". That isn't argument to authority, that's just using reputation as a guide before you evaluate the evidence/views presented.
Wikipedia says:
The appeal to authority is an integral part of the Asch effect.[16] In repeated and modified instances of the Asch conformity experiments, it was found that high-status individuals create a stronger likeliood of a subject agreeing with an obviously false conclusion, despite the subject normally being able to clearly see that the answer was incorrect.[17]
cite an authoritative article that proves that blue LEDs do not cause toxic stress to the retina? next thing you'll ask me to cite an article which proves that blue LEDs will not imbue the user with superpowers and yet superresponsibility as well.
I really like the Logitech wireless nub things for their keyboards and mice. Bluetooth ultimately does not work very well on PCs. the standards were never implemented quite correctly, perhaps because of using commodity parts. macs don't have this problem.
I like typing on laptop keyboards. for me the ultimate keyboard is the modern apple keyboard, which is used on all their laptops and their BT keyboard. it's amazing, from 17" laptop to 11" laptop and they use the exact same keyboard.
keyboards are literally free these days. Google has a new program where they give out free keyboards (nice BT ones!) in exchange for running keyloggers so they can track what people type and then run ads against it.

it makes me less sympathetic when they say waa waa waa piracy

+1 yes. along with Ouija boards and e-meters.

if your clients own the company that you work for, doesn't that make them your bosses? or is it a term in use, like massage clients?

Until you get your stupid wifi out of the loop you're just wanking.
true. but this is why I rely on my high speed broadband!
dude pick a meme. here that sound? it's the worlds tiniest violin playing a maudlin song for you.

also, I thought that the nobel went to the guys who made the blue laser, not the blue LED.
I think the problem is 100% US spying on its citizens.
The biggest concentration of pediatric whooping cough is in 90210.
The only reason diseases like whooping cough are making a comeback in the us is because of socialite antivaxxers. Has nothing to do with foreigners.
You're sticking it in the wrong hole

how do angles die? when something goes from being angled to being a straight line?
