  1. Re:If only there were another solution... on Would You Trust an 80-Year-Old Nuclear Reactor? · · Score: 2

    The core issue is: they are!

    Stop and think: it was needed a full, cataclysmic tsunami to make Fukushima colapses. This is not small shit.

    Granted, I'm not saying modern reactors are safe. But they're a lot safer than the old ones - or perhaps, less unsafe.

    But they're not cheap.

    Would not be cheaper simply legalize prostitution, gay marriage, et all?

    Violence is one possible (and probably the most common) symptom of repressed sexuality!!

    i understand the deriviation of the word.

    No, you don't. You managed to withhold the information in your mind, but failed to give them any meaning.

    i understand how democracy and aristocracy works (aristocracy, btw, is not "rule of the best" it is "rule of the people who's parents had money"... calling it "rule of the best"makes me wonder about you)

    No, you are wrong again.

    From::

    Aristocracy (Greek aristokratía, from aristos "excellent," and kratos "power"), is a form of government in which a few elite citizens rule.[1] The term derives from the Greek aristokratia, meaning "rule of the best"

    You are the idiot that thinks that words have to be a reasonable meaning to you , a very aristocratic behaviour, if you ask me (and this speaks a lot about you, my friend).

    My brother uses a Milestone 2, and now and then he get himself doing some server administration over SSH while commuting on public transportation.

    You are perfectly entitled to yell "FIRE" in a crowded theater. You're completely free to do that, there's no one with gun pointed to you head or gagging you there.

    What you are not entitled to do is to avoid the consequences of the yelling.

    If it's true and you end up saving lives, you're a public personality and you loose (some of) your privacy.

    If you did a good faith mistake and was caught, you will have trouble.

    If you did it by malice and was caught, you're screwed.

    Heck, I'm free to pick up a barbecue knife and play havoc on my neighbor's apartment - there's absolutment nothing preventing me to do that right now (besides my good will and the fact that I'm not a psychopath, besides looking as one - what probably would prevent my neighbor to open the door at this time of night anyway! =P).

    But you can bet your mouse that, would I do it, I'll have my sorry arse canned for the rest of his farting life in some cell full of male rapists in the local prison. And THIS is the reason that makes nuts like me kept inside our homes without being tied under the table or chained in the bed. ;-)

    The first thing you must do to fight a enemy, is to give him a proper name.

    You are seeing it in a very narrow view.

    You don't have to win every battle to win the war. In fact this strategy tells that you can win a war without winning a single battle!

    It's not the immediate result that matters, but the net result at the end of the game.

    If you are in a game where reputation is a variable, and you always play nice at first round, other nice players will be nice too - confident of mutual profit.

    If you are known to defect from the beginning, you will never have a single chance to earn more than the bare minimum after the first match. You will win EXACTLY ONE SINGLE TIME, and then will be restricted to minimum wage for the end of game.

    However, this strategy is only viable if there're at least one more nice guy in the game.
