Well, most of it anyways. PETA is cerifiably nuts (I lost faith in them when they started hating the Nazi's not because they killed jews, but because they used dogs on the front lines). Hating nuclear power even though it's cleaner than coal is silly as well (some of 'em even hate wind power because birds can strike the rotors... how exactly do the expect us to generate electricity? live like newyork?). Every animal on the planet leaves a footprint. Humans leave a big one, but environmentalists want us to leave 0 footprint. I mean, even birds leave nests...
Wasn't till just before Stalin (when Lenin was alive, but out of service on account of a stroke or two) that it became oppressive.
The trade colonies had help from the French, the Russians had to fight Germans and capitalists alone. And if you think the riots'll be against the RIAA alone, you're naive... The RIAA is working the same way any sufficiently large capitalist organization works. Entrenching themselves and eliminating competition (through economies of scale, etc).
"With a reasonable supply of water, a nuclear power plant could be used to create oxygen and hydrogen, both for surviving on and performing experiments, and for fueling any return craft."
Like all that water on the north pole of mars? It's in solid form (aka ice), but it's still water.
That was VI Lenin, you tool. Stalin killed a bunch of people, Lenin lead the revolution (and even if you don't agree with the ideology, getting a bunch of farmers & facory workers to rise up and defeat the Czar is a pretty impressive task)
Well, if you want to take things in that direction, then tell me how they're going to get a coal firing plant working in an atmosphere lacking oxygen. Wind plants? Hydro-electric? Geothermal? Solar doesn't give enough output and and fails way too easily, hence the nuclear power.
Most dangerous power source? We dump thousands of tonnes of CO2 in to the air every day with coal plants, not to mention the URANIUM that is in the coal goes straight to the atmosphere. The earth is on its way to warming up to dangerous levels because of this CO2, and I'd bet that the carcinogens and nuclear material that (instead of being contained) is being vented to the air have been partly at fault for the rise in cancer rates.
Nuclear energy is safe. The soviets just fscked it up like the fscked up communism and countless other things. (I mean really... building their nuclear plants to generate weapons grade plutonium instead of being safe, how irresponsible can you get?)
"The worst-case disaster is that the rocket carrying the uranium fuel explodes during takeoff, leading to the possibility of uranium being spread throughout the atmosphere."
the last notebook i bought (had to replace the harddrive because i... um... well, cut the crap i shook it while it was on) was a Toshiba Tecra 8000. Awesome linux support on it... no problems with anything except sound, and that's just because it's on the isa bus, and it's not PnP
Funny thing, copyright is... No, if software comes with hardware you can NOT do with it as you wish. If you buy an HP computer (with windows on it), you can't decompile windows. It's in the EULA
IIRC, only mission non-critical systems were on CE. Stuff like the positioning of your seat and mirrors. Stuff like the engine computer are all run on some proprietary system (like any other fuel injected car)
Funnily enough, it didn't reboot boxes on purpose... it was a programming mistake. And I was just informed that it does have a payload. On Aug 16th, infected machines begin a DDoS on windowsupdate.microsoft.com
I think it's the tech support effect, not the slashdot effect. I work helldesk, and I know I personally referred 30 people to the fix last night, add that to the countless other helldesk agents that did the same
Right click on my computer, go to manage, in the services & apps tab, go to services, right click Remote Procedure Call (RPC), properties. In the recovery tab, change all the things that say "restart the computer" to "take no action"
Strict adherence to the ideas of quarentine (not letting non-sanctioned computers on your network, not letting sanctioned computers on other networks), and DMZ (any computer connected to a public network... I have my wifi router outside the DMZ), then there wouldn't be that problem either

*shrug* I thought it funny... I'm a marxist (though I think the environmentalist movement is stupid)

"What about the small problem of finding 6 people to go to Mars, to work in a nuclear power station for no people for 30 years?."
Sign me up. Seriously. (if there're women there, great... otherwise I'm bringing some pr0n)
(on a side note, if you have a question mark, it doesn't need a period after it </grammer nazi>)

Yeah, no big deal </sarcasm>
"all they have to do is to find a way to protect staff and environment from radiation."
Yeah. We don't want to kill off all those martian animals and plants. Oh, wait. There are none.
ZOO-VERT.

If they did that, it'd make Rap sensation MC Steven Hawking a whole lot less funny.
Smoke a little pot beforehand... Or have a couple glasses of wine. You won't show stress in your voice.
Well, in either case, I stand by my point. The software in a system isn't yours to do with as you wish. It's copyrighted.

I think of all people, microsoft would have the foresight to run enough power to withstand the full force of slashdot at any given moment
It's a worm, not a virus. A virus has a payload.
Code Red also had no payload iirc. It's not suspicious, it's just a worm.

I'm working helldesk tonight.
Helped my customers out... Thanks mosschops!
I work helldesk. My day was the busiest I've had since XP was released. ;)
So screw you!
