there is no significant CS-137 contamination even ten miles from Fukushima. Not a danger to humans, and the levels now are less than 1/10,000 from when the disaster happened.
Nonsense, the concentration in the pacific is negligible and not a danger. you have no understanding of units of meaure of radioactive contamination. You read alarmist nonsense without sense of proportion or scale.
The area around Fukushima that is considered of any possible danger to humans is quite small, measured in low double digits of kilometers
nonsense, the leaking isotopes will decay in decades not centuries.
Fukushimi diachi is a local problem, never mind hysteria over non-events like the detected level of one extra xenon atom per cubic meter in the USA, that's nothing. less than nothing.
Chernobyl was just bad engineering meets bad management, other plants in the world can't do what that one did. And Fukushima diachi hasn't caused widespread damage like Chernobyl did.
wrong, areas with real farmland (with unused ground and ground being wrongly used for other purposes) can take up any slack from the unnecessary addition of the unsustainable California dessert
this article is sign that Canonical is reaping the fruits of stupidity that they sowed, in driving away user base by working in vacuum and without regard to user needs or wants. They followed the path Microsoft has in UI design, with the same disasterous results.
By the way, Slashdot beta has the same wrongheaded thinking at its core.
as engineer, can tell you your thinking is wrong. It is not cost effective to transport water to dessert when more good rich farmland land than we need exists elsewhere.
It is silly to even mention "proper level" of aquifer water, with water levels in continual decline California is using up water reserve, it is unsustainable practice.
you and the farmers are both stupid, in the sense of ignoring reality and continuing down path to destruction
think about the electric fields (other fields exist, just as example) between all particles, they have always existed, for 13.8 billion years. photons are just vibrations in that field. so everything was and continues to be entangled
water levels in the aquifers are down 15 to 50 feet since year 2000, not being replenished as the absurd amounts of water on the pretend "farmland" and the too-huge cities are leading to the inevitable conclusion
so a group of peope had the brilliant idea of building massive cities and huge agricultural farmlands in a desert, made possible by unsustainable draining of acquifers and importation of water from other states.
and now they have a "drought"?
can't raise enough moisture for a tear over here....
Our Sun did not exist at the dawn of the Universe, the Universe has existed three times as long as the Sun has. The Sun and solar system are made of the remains of other stars that built up the heavy elements.
even after 100 trillion years, occassional collisions will make short lived stars if certain boundary conditions are met: carbon stars and helium-fusion stars. Sometimes brown dwarfs will collide to make a red dwarf star that can last 10 trillion years. so life may be possible at various times even after the universe's main star formation period ends.

you didn't read the article did you. you're wrong and jumping to conclusions. Furthermore most students in the USA are not taught creationism in school
wrong, those of us who used the Linux desktop in the late 90s brought it into the enterprise and worked to get it accepted.
RedHat very much became a success because of their desktop linux. Creating Federo, to be different from the Enterprise linux (which has restricted access) was a stab in the back to the userbase
No, Linux success not by luck, who else made alternative free operating system kernel that was Unix work-alike at that time?
HURD has floundered around since the 1980s, trying this and that and still not a production ready or usable system, it's a school science project. It is not serious OS kernel for production use.
constantly in need of restart and quickest to get owned by crackers
it's rubbish, bad enough to have to fight with it for internal use but only an idiot would expose that to internet. yes, had to deal with IIS for over a decade

how does a factory have a capacity in watts?
yes he does have that for some people: "exercising a compelling charm that inspires devotion in others"
Chernobyl reactor design and failure mode and fire of no relevance to Fukushima issues or this discussion

devices to access the internet can be made in bulk for less than $100
in a couple years that price will probably be below $25. most poor people in USA have TVs after all...

I'm against watering a barren blazing desert in the west trying to pretend its "farmland"

you'll be happy to know Google Glass has similar option to turn the red on, activated by a hard punch to the a face of the glasshole

the Sun is only 4.5 billion years old; the Sun has made just over 18 laps.
Why do you think that "sounds little", and what physical measurement would imply older universe (we have several that point to about 14 billion years)

they did switch to a Linux POS system in the early 00's, the BEETLE POS sold by Wincor Nixdorf.
