Bullshit, utter fucking bullshit. If the uranium melts and gets sufficiently enmassed it could fucking well reach critical mass since the different materials have different specific weights, ie they will layer upon being melted.
The situation is extremely grave which is why they have to sacrifice peoples lives. A nuclear blast this near tokyo on ground level, with oodles of nuclear material all around would make anything that has happened so far, including hiroshima and nagasaki a minor accident.
Microsoft beats Apple because MS has Zombies working as astroturfers. There are a documented case where Microsoft revived dead people and made them write letters in support.
This disaster could well be worse than the one in Tjernobyl. Especially for the poor sods that has to sacrifice their lifes to contain the mess. We now have four rectors that needs to be cooled down, built in and kept under close watch for a couple of hundred thousands of years.
If you cant stay within 50 miles of the plants today, you wont be able to live there later and the safety zone for living an normal life will surely be even bigger.
American technology for the win, go go General Electric!
I guess you havent noticed but Microsoft is actually paying people to lounge around Slashdot all day and do damage control through some media companies.
Come to think of it its quite absurd, people get paid to astroturf Slashdot. The one place where astroturfing is seen through without a second glance.
Why yes, Vista was a really fine piece of software and Windows 7 dont suck at all. WP7 arent a complete and utter failiure, Xbox360 never dies RROD and AD arent a total mess of totally hacked together things and thousands of managing tools.
Id really like to live in your alternative universe because you sure know Windows 7 sucks in mine when you long for the file manager from Windows XP.
One word i would never ever attribute to Microsoft is ethical and im surprised anyone would put Microsoft within ten miles of a list with ethical companies. Their history is littered with examples of bad ethics and statements. They have been sued and sentenced numerous times in court.
Cant wait for their most privacy respecting list, with Facebook ontop no doubt.
Why yes, because being spied upon was the best part of being part of citizen in DDR/USSR.
People who have money, fancy stuff, food and a feeling that they can say whatever they want can take surveillance. But, the first second they get burnt these people are the first to cry out for civil rights. They want them, but someone else should fight for them.
Maybe it was just put there for possible visitors? if you get celebrity from outer space, you want to impress them. With them being bored by even Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters cocaine is the way to go.
Seen this more and more. People just get tired of Facebook and tune out. Its handy for simple communication with people you rarely want to talk to but very boring in the long run.
Im also very interested in the future and i suspect the Gap will close pretty quickly between AMD/Intel and Longsoon. Mostly because AMD/Intel has hit a brick wall if you look at per core performance. But, will there be software other than Linux supporting the Longsoon, or will China adopt some Linux version all over?
China dumping Windows would really be something spectacular and throw a big wrench into intelligence gathering from abroad.
Well for one they seem to borrow money like there is no tomorrow. That in itself is pretty strange considering the extreme profits they supposedly make.
Visual Studio is like taking a suppository in the form of an ananas without lube. Anything is better, even notepad or pricking holes in paper strips. Anyone declaring VS good has obviously never ever used anything else. Managers choose VS, not developers.
Kinect wont ever work for more serious gaming since its frankly pretty crude at detecting motion and also updates far to slow for an FPS game. It would need a very large breakthrough in motion detection and become better than anything on the market right now, at a hundredth of the price. The potential for Kinect arent much better than it was for eye-toy, its just hyped better.
What im talking about is something that can suppleant the mouse and keyboard combo in accuracy and speed. The toad arent on the same ballpark and Kinect not even on the same planet.
Im not at all impressed by graphics on PS3, a good PC or an Xbox. All the games look roughly the same regardless of game engine or developer. The problem seems not to lie in the amounts of rectangles, fps or resolution. I suspect the only way to go forward is by using raytracing or similar instead of textures on triangles. Hardware is not anywhere near that kind of power so any improvements in graphics will for the foreseeable future seem very superficial and modest.
Whatever Microsoft does, my mind wanders off to Nintendo and what they might have up their sleeves. Unless Microsoft pulls out something groundbreaking beyond better graphics this will be just another iteration of Xbox. I haven't seen any interesting acquisitions of gaming technology companies of late so i hardly anticipate anything new.
The trouble for Microsoft is that as soon as they develop a way of commanding FPS games that is on par with a mouse and a keyboard, their PC-Gaming business is soon cannibalized. If Nintendo succeeds in that feat, they have the possibility to take away a serious chunk of Microsofts gaming audience.
So, this time the war is still about the controller. Kinect is far from perfect, Wii also sucks for serious FPS gaming and PS3 arent any better. The one bringing the best controller to the market is whom i suspect will win. Better graphics or raw CPU punch just wont help a darn thing.
There has been a tendency to favour social skills more than craftmanship throughout the world for a while. Ofcourse you need to have social skills but they must never take precedence over your skill in your work.
While a salesman that scares any customer away is bad its obviously really bad having a manager without any skills other than social skills. I have had my share of sociopaths above me and while they can climb a career ladder like no one else they have had zero benefit in any position they have had.
In some enviroments having a brain is not an advantage despite excellent social skills because you know what you should be doing, but you understand that while being the best for the company, it would be detrimental to your career.
I agree, in this case they should have gone straight for the root cause, Microsoft and Apple.
Their attempt at strangling VP8 by trying to build a pool of patent to sue the one owning it are by far the worst case of anticompetitive behavior i have seen since the browser wars.

I dare you to look up the nuclear plants in your country. If you live in the US you could ask yourself why you havent replaced them either.
Because electronics wont work in radio active enviroment. The russians tried it in Tjernobyl but they failed rapidly despite pretty heavy shielding.
This comparison is only as long as there arent any accident happening.

Finland has been in my mind a couple of times actually. I love finland and i would feel pretty at home i think.

Im a Swede and wondering more and more if i should just pack it up and leave for Norway.
Funny you hate using what was the template for C# when it was copied off from Java.
And i agree, i challange anyone finding such a pile of crap as Visual Studio in use today. Nothing compares to it.
Almost any IDE is better but Eclipse takes VS2010 to the cleaners totally. Not much of a battle there.
I think you seriously underestimate Android. Would be interesting to know what limitations you would hit that a complex 3D game dont.
