Right, most reviews still refrain the same old thing over and over about BB lacking apps. It's not like the Apple Store isn't full of useless lame unmaintained applications neither. The size of your appstore doesn't matter.;-)
Kind of 20th century Amishes. This is ridiculous since their kids will access anyway 21st century technologies in their friends' houses and at school. They will suffer being put aside from the 21st century society and become technology illettrates. They will probably won't be able to make good careers' choices since they will be forced to think about jobs existing in 1980 which no longer exists or need to be done very differently.
These parents are pretty much stupid and don't do that for the good wealth of their own children but for their own vanity. Shame on them!
Wow! Sorry, I did I came with a so badly written comment?
Neither Japan's govt. Don't be naive, the Japaneses don't want anyone else to monitor if they are good or bad at what they are doing. It is very unlikely the govt will call the global community to help. And anyway, it is unlikely to be less costly and better to call it. This issue revolves around management only, not around technical expertise.
I hope this time it is much more readable. No, I wasn't drunk.

The accident is not due to deregulation. The train driver didn't secure the brakes. You can regulate and over-regulate and do whatever you want, if the guy responsible to secure the brakes fails to do his job, you are screwed.
Totally irrelevant comment. Regulation in rail transportation is a federal responsability. I hope you aren't Canadian, neither Quebecer, otherwise you are showing how ignorant you are.
Then, to make my comment about more or less government. I believe it is not to Japan's governement to take over TEPCO and clean the place. Japan's governement responsability is to monitor closely the process, make regulations, enforce them and make sure TEPCO is doing ITS job.
I agree with you. This study doesn't prove anything and is complete failure. It doesn't deserve to make its way on/. unless it is to discuss how bad studies can lead media to make false conclusions from thin data and no clue.
It is possible to train an algorithm to recognize CAPTCHA, even if the success rate isn't 100%, it is high enough to enable bots to register on websites with CAPTCHA. So, Australia is only pushing people to find out better solutions than CAPTCHA. In short term, a large amount of spammers will rely on optical recognition algorithms to decipher CAPTCHA anyway.
Well, few show are making more than 4 seasons. Supposed they are really entertaining on Mars, which we can doubt since they will rather than be depressive, anyway, suppose they are really entertaining, they make make 6 seasons on TV. What else after that? Do you really think we will sustain such an expedition forever? What if the company go bankrupcy before even the first cycle of two years? Clearly this is a ticket to die in short term for those engaging in such a program without any guarantees and without any mean to efforce anything if the guarantee is not met.
Calm down, there is no reason China would like to engage a total war against its principal customer. For sure it would like to get some industrial advantages and tactical advantages on resources, however, it would not be a good idea to destroy its customer base.
Not really. I am a old afficionado of the Thinkpad brand. When Lenovo bought the brand I got a T61p which died prematurately after the guarantee expiration. The problem was with the Nvidia graphics processor and it wasn't replaceable. The whole system board needed to be replaced at a price much higher than a brand new laptop. I did remove every part in this laptop and it wasn't that easy as it once was with older Thinkpads and other brands from the Big Blue.
I believe the Thinkpad brand is slowly changing and becoming more and more like any others, except the price for a while.
For this reason, I abandoned the brand and since they no longer pay attention to the reputation of quality and service once the brand was the flagship, I am buying the cheapest laptops I can find on the market which meet my requirements for performance. Anyway, in two years you will have to change and throw it in the garbbage can or recycle bin. Why spending more good money than needed on same crap?
Measurement errors are involved once at boundary conditions. Precision errors propagates in the computations. So, even if a single precision error is magnitude orders smaller than measurement errors, they can have an impact on the result depending on the computations involved while solving the problem.
BTW, the only difference is not in the enrichment process. A nuclear reactor cannot produce a nuclear explosion even if it is going supercritical. It will melt and as long as it is in a containement vessel, damages are mitigated. The Chernobyl reactor didn't have any containement vessel. Fukushima's reactor is having such a vessel and radioactive isotopes released are not coming from the reactor core itself which is still contained.
Here we go again with the Chernobyl example. The reactor at Chernobyl wouldn't have been licensed in USA, Japan, France, UK, Canada, South Korea, etc. It doesn't have a containement vessel, which is a basic requirement by all modern countries regulatory bodies, it was operating with a positive feedback which is forbidden by all the regulatory bodies in modern countries, the staff wasn't trained properly to operate such a device badly designed and finally the bureaucratic administration was just not concerned and don't care about it.
The Chernobyl accident couldn't happen in modern countries.
Now, back to Fukushima, anyone noticed the tsunami itself made many more victims and fatalities than the reactor accident? In fact, so far, Fukushima hasn't claim a single life.
As other said, a single coal plant is generating more nuclear waste in the atmosphere than all the nuclear reactors together. Geothermal is also generating nuclear waste due to well drilling, the mud from deep wells drill contains radioactive isotopes.
Hydrogen isn't a primary energy source. It has to made because it doesn't exist in a useful form ready to use on earth. The process to create H2 involve processing methane gas. Hydrogen can be useful as a fuel cell, however you should never believe it is a replacement for any other primary energy sources, it is just a mean to convert primary energy into something handful.
Mod up please. This guy is true and TFA is very clear. Anyone attempting to discuss and advocate for Pauling on this case should start by reading TFA in full.
Once I am at it, since we know that the brillant Linus Pauling winner of two Nobel prize was fully wrong on this subject (and maybe others undocumented), I believe it is a good time to ask all of those out there which are experts in Albert Einstein's false and true quotes to move on and try to write something by their own and stop citing the poor Albert out of context and on subject he has no clear in depth competencies recognized by his peers. I mean, all that stuff about God playing dice and even how to cook a full rack of BBQ ribs.
Then, if you are a multi-million dollar operation you do not need multi-billion dollar operation redundancy. And you still have plenty of money to run your own datacenter with appropriate level of redundacy, DR plan, etc. Regular backups sent in a safe away from your location doesn't cost that much. In fact, you are required to do so by your insurance company usually as well as having proper DR procedures in place.

/. is becoming a news for Amishes website with this kind of news.

They will need radiation shielding on Mars too. Not only for the trip to Mars. So, you have to figure out how to land this mass safely.
It is very unlikely to succeed. High radiation levels and first of all, you need to survive at least nine months.
No need to sterilize them, they will sterilize during the journey due to high level of cosmic rays.

You never ever think this could be a bottomless pit created by politicians?

Yes, adding random delays from the browser should fix the problem for the timing attack.

Yep, and it serves the same purpose as telling people their sins are forgiven by the mighty God once they die. So they keep sinning until they die.
Are they trying to reinvent the laptop?
