That's one of the problems with Slashdot commenters writing comments that are so off-topic. One person said, "Let's give New mexico back to Mexico." The response was "Right after Mexico gives Mexico back to the Incas."
I intended to say that there were no more Incas, because the Incas contracted European diseases.
There is a nuclear disaster area in the United States, the Hanford nuclear site. I've heard about the some of the problems over many years from a manager of one of the departments of the U.S. Department of Energy, and the Wikipedia article mentions some of the problems. Here is one quote:
"Citing the 2014 Hanford Lifecycle Scope Schedule and Cost report, the 2014 estimated cost of the remaining Hanford clean up is $113.6 billion..." [my emphasis] Retrieved Dec. 3, 2014.
Here is another quote from the Hanford Wikipedia article: "From 1944 to 1971, pump systems drew cooling water from the river and, after treating this water for use by the reactors, returned it to the river. Before being released back into the river, the used water was held in large tanks known as retention basin for up to six hours. Longer-lived isotopes were not affected by this retention, and several terabecquerels entered the river every day. These releases were kept secret by the federal government."
What is called cleaning Hanford has now taken more than 50 years. The Wikipedia article is not, at present, completely clear about that fact, apparently because, as the quote above says, the U.S. government managed the information so that it did not get into the news, although much of the information was not actually a secret, but was known to people living in the area.
Way off topic, but European diseases such as Smallpox killed Incas. Quoting: "Even before the arrival of Pizarro, smallpox had already devastated the Inca Empire..." And: "... the viruses tore through the continent, killing an estimated 90% of Native Americans."
60 Minutes has been an extremely valuable news program. In recent years the program has still been valuable, but has tended to fail in 3 ways, in my opinion:
1) Editorial management of the show has not been as good. (It is really, really difficult to find someone who can manage reporters.)
2) CBS, the parent organization, has not been as devoted to the enormous good will that comes from many of the 60 Minutes shows. CBS does not support the show sufficiently, in my opinion.
3) There is no one associated with 60 Minutes, apparently, who has significant understanding of technology, even though the show often tries to cover stories about technology. Here is a quote from the transcript of the show about Chernobyl, showing that Bob Simon has no understanding of the dosimeter he is wearing:
When Caille took us on a tour of the site, we were fitted with dosimeters to tell us how much we were being exposed to. Suddenly, a sound we didn't want to hear. Bob Simon: Hey, there's beepers going off. Nicolas Caille: No, no. It's not. It's normal. Bob Simon: You're sure? Nicolas Caille: Yes, yes, yes. I'm definitively sure. Bob Simon: I don't like a beeper in Chernobyl. I don't like that sound.
However, although Bob Simon twice shows he has no depth of understanding, there is no technical error in the transcript of that 60 Minutes show. Aside from the ooh-wow reactions of Bob Simon, it is exactly correct. (I haven't watched the video. I can imagine there is more ooh-wow in the video editing.) The main idea of the story is illustrated by this quote: "There's still so much radiation coming from the reactor that workers have to construct the arch nearly a thousand feet away, shielded by a massive concrete wall. When finished, the arch will be slid into place around the Sarcophagus, then sealed up."
In fact, the expense of covering the extremely dangerous parts of the area is enormous. That is a very serious issue, an issue of concern to everyone in the world. After many years, the work of reducing the danger is still not finished.

Because Microsoft has a "virtual monopoly", Microsoft still sold many copies. Eventually, however, people will find a way to navigate around Microsoft's craziness. Here is just one of many, many examples. Quoting:
There is so much going on that screams the fact that they didn't have the average Joe sitting in a Microsoft UX lab doing simple tasks such as: "Shut down the system" or "Uninstall software you haven't used in a while" and so much more.
'They tried to force a revolutionary new UI onto the mainstream users. And I love their design, I really do, but it simply doesn't offer any benefits to daily power users such as myself. On the contrary, it annoys me because it has such potential, and they implemented a half-decent version of what it could and should be.
I think that because I attempt to understand Microsoft, I am more caring toward the company than those who merely make negative comments about criticism of Microsoft.
As I said in my grandparent comment, Microsoft has been releasing unfinished products for many years: "... they implemented a half-decent version of what it could and should be." That abusive behavior makes a huge amount of money because there are so many non-technical users who don't know how to defend themselves.
Now Google's Android, a derivative of Linux, is beginning to take people away from Microsoft's operating system products.
" In fact, over the course of the device's life, Microsoft has issued a number of firmware, driver, and OS updates that have improved the overall responsiveness and usefulness of the Surface Pro 3."
Translation: Microsoft released a product before it was ready. Do you want to buy from an abusive manufacturer?
Other recent examples of faulty Microsoft products: Windows ME, Windows XP before the 2nd service pack, Windows Vista, and Windows 8. One earlier example: DOS 3.0 was buggy in a way that was fixed in DOS 3.1, but buyers were expected to pay the full price for the new version.
In my opinion, Microsoft is the Zune of corporations in the sense that Microsoft uses its market power to deliver unfinished, faulty products. Quote from Wikipedia:
"On March 15, 2011, Microsoft announced that no new Zune hardware players would be developed, although existing models would remain for sale. The Zune had failed to capture significant market share after five years..."
"... consuming so many phytoestrogens than men are growing boobs."
From the National Institutes of Health, a free PDF: The pros and cons of phytoestrogens. The author considered 308 scientific sources and came to the conclusion that not enough is known to indicate that phytoestrogens are good or bad for humans.
It would be very interesting to know who gets the $314 million every year.
During the same years that easy Google millions have been pouring in, Mozilla Foundation has become much more sloppily managed, it seems to me.
Firefox has become much less stable in the past few years when many windows and tabs are open for a long time. The most recent version crashes without activating the crash reporter. Instead of fixing the crashes, Mozilla Foundation has prevented reporting of them.
Apparently Mozilla Foundation is trying to discourage the use of the Thunderbird email client. The newest version of Thunderbird, 31.2.0, has the Save-As bug. All file saves are Save As, and suggest a different file name than name with which the email was saved before. The Save-As bug has been reported, but no new version has been released, giving the impression that the bug is deliberate.
Other obvious bugs were introduced into Thunderbird. For example, the fields for email addresses are much more difficult to read.
Pale Moon has been removing some of the issues in their FossaMail version of Thunderbird. I haven't tested it to see if the Save-As bug is fixed.
The real story is about incompetence in Intel management. Intel has often, in past years, announced something before it is ready. Intel management is announcing something that hasn't happened yet.
Yahoo has been terribly managed, and Mozilla Foundation is rapidly getting worse.

If many windows and tabs are open for a long time, Firefox now crashes in a way that does not cause a crash report to be sent.
"The best analogy in the Windows world for systemd is the Win95 registry..."
The Windows registry was designed to make it very, very difficult for people to make copies of software to use on another computer. The Windows registry was intentional obfuscation, and very much against the needs of users, because of the huge amounts of time it takes to understand and fix problems with the registry.
A comment below says, "SystemD is RedHat's version of embrace and extend." That seems a better explanation. The way it is being done is certainly deliberate. Starting a big hassle that damages the reputation of Linux is certainly against the needs of the users.
It seems that the entire U.S. culture is becoming more adversarial. For example, there are health care insurance policies that are written in such a way that the insured will not understand that they aren't being fully covered.
Companies are deliberately over-billing. Many people cannot afford the time to find all the ways they are being treated badly.
First step: Make providers publish their prices on a government web site, and actually charge those prices. Have big fines for charging more. That would help prevent over-billing.
In 2008, banks arranged bank failures that caused job loss. That allowed companies to fire 10% of their staff and make the other 90% do the work because the 90% were afraid they would lose their jobs, also.
People are so overworked that they don't feel they have time to investigate over-billing. Companies take advantage of that by being as difficult as possible. It's deliberate dishonesty and becoming a standard way U.S. companies do business.
(I imagine that English is a 2nd language for the parent commenter.)
Firefox is becoming less and less stable. It's so unstable that it often doesn't report crashes, so the crash reports aren't reliable, they show far fewer crashes than actually occurred.
The underlying problem is that Mozilla Foundation needs better management. At present, Mozilla Foundation management is sometimes excellent and sometimes very unreliable.
In many cases, XP vulnerabilities are minimal. Don't use Internet Explorer. Every user should have limited rights. Users should be trained not to open files that haven't been arranged in advance. Use a software firewall that monitors outgoing traffic.
Most writers for technical publications have limited technical knowledge. What is not said in the article linked by Slashdot is that computers that run software firewalls that monitor outgoing traffic are far more protected.
Quoting from the article: "For this attack scenario to be successful, the user must be convinced to open the specially crafted file containing the malicious OLE object. All Microsoft Office file types as well as many other third-party file types could contain a malicious OLE object."
Another quote: "A successful exploitation could lead to the attacker gaining same user rights as the current user, and if that means administrative user rights, the attacker can install programs; access, modify, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights."
I just saw Citizenfour. It's interesting to know how the news about Snowden got started. The movie makes the point that those who take away privacy do that because they want control.
In my opinion, destructiveness toward healthy society is an outbreak of symptoms of mental conflict.
Why have public relationships? Public internet relationships are a fad of fake, self-destructive behavior, like the way women dressed in the 1950's.
All of the LinkedIn requests I've ever received have been attempts to pretend that a relationship exists that is more meaningful than in reality.
Sometimes a large percentage of people do crazy things. Don't follow them. I have friends, customers, and business contacts who sometimes read and reply to only the first paragraph of an email, and don't read the rest. It's part of the nonsense of the times.
I told a dentist with a Facebook page that Facebook was showing an ad for another dental clinic on his Facebook page. The dentist just accepted the abuse.
The first result in a Google search for 50's clothing and hairstyles says, "Ever
ready to suffer for the cause of soft feminine looking Fifties styles,
after the perm, we still had to roll, curl our hair." A Wikipedia article says, "One
ingredient in 1950s hair spray was vinyl chloride monomer; used as an
alternative to chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), it was subsequently found to
be both toxic and flammable."
TiggertheMad, it seems to me that you are being TiggertheSensible. Your ideas are better than those in the Washington Post and Mashable.com articles.
The Washington Post is now owned by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, another man who often enormously over-estimates his own intelligence. Would you go into space in a vehicle owned by Jeff Bezos? The Amazon web site is an abusive mess! For example, a few days ago I selected "lowest price" for an item on Amazon, and several were listed for $1. The real price was $18. Why doesn't Jeff Bezos detect that he is already overloaded and not dealing with his overload well?
It's amazingly weird! Elon Musk can be the coordinator of a company that builds spacecraft successfully, but he can't detect when he has a REALLY crazy idea.
Elon Musk is not completely like Jenny McCarthy, I think. She never has good ideas. Or maybe she is just a model who has found a way of making herself more well-known among the ignorant people who consider her interesting.

Someone who genuinely cares about Microsoft will want Microsoft to examine its behavior as a corporation. The recent release of Windows 8 got very bad press. For example: [Serious] Users of Windows 8, is it really as bad as everyone says it is?
