There's so much shit online that we just have to filter what content to look at no matter how niche the topic is. This means being LOUD helps getting attention, we see more and more crafted websites, BBS messages, blogs and such that do not say anything worthy but are just 'OK' quality and useless. They exist only to help drive people attention to whatever authors want, blogs updated daily are more popular that those w/ weekly updates even if updates are shit. Because just by being more vocal you gain a benefit. It's natural, but it pollutes the info-space. It's a continuous fight between original content and baazar shouting. I hope one of the next web-changing things someone will come up will be a service that will help cut the crap. CUT THE CRAP! CUT THE CRAP!
that's a common way of replying to things that say that it's not like what they say on the tv.
it's much more likely that the subject is overhyped when you are ignorant of it. All the tiny changes in plants in Chernobyl area are ok - mutation goes on all the time, any mutation that exceeds some limits makes the mutant practically dead, so all the changes are as tiny as those that would be without radiation, there are more of those - but that's not anything dangerous, IN ANY WAY. And yes contaminates spread if not contained, but that's not THAT dangerous as well. when it happened the first time there were no corpses on the streets (as could have seen in reality tv or something) very few effects on health were detected afterwards, our 'sporty' everyday life, cars, food and stresses are thounsands times more dangerous than all the effects of the incident in the past and in [speculated] future. After all it was not the worst nuclear incident, Hiroshima killed way more people.
And about evidence: there is such a thing like 'null hypothesis': i don't need to prove anything - you do.
come on, i live mere away 70km from the 'object' and i'm fine, actually i'm doing better than most people are. it has nothing to do with the incident - it was not SUCH a disaster after all. talking about some 'danger' from Chernobil is not even funny, it's like speculating about tv radiation effects on health while puffing a cigar.
incident was local, incident didn't spawn no monster populations (some mutants - yes, but those don't replicate, you know), that's it.
if anything is worth discussing in the story it's a technical side, so please reduce your speculations about 'Chernobyl danger' to a minimum - those make my bald head itch.
there's more: having standards is good, if those standards are good.
i love metric system, US citizens used to feets and pounds. having just 24 hours a day and not twice 12 is natural to me. having my text processor write some cryptic format files for no sensible reason is no good - that is.

Can one get computer out of sleep mode with this mouse then? If yes, than what kind of "shut down accordingly" is that?
what two-way communication has to do with notifying a user that a mouse battery is low?
