"Not safe compared to anything which isn't a motorcycle."
Utter crap. Why arn't there cemeteries full of dead taxi, bus and truck drivers who spend their working lives on the roads then? Spare us your hysterial nonsense. If you're too scared to drive then stay at home and cuddle some kittens and don't bother the rest of us.
Not safe compared to what - staying in bed under the duvet? You're more at risk crossing the road in some places that being in a car - perhaps we should ban walking?
Anyway, I said the west. Thats more than just the USA. Here in europe people do use public transport when it suits them.
"We'll eventually be giving up more and more manual control of our cars, and as a result, driving is going to become safer and safer."
Driving is already pretty damn safe in the west given the total number of journeys made and distances travelled. Its only the bedwetting health and safety hysterics who would have us believe otherwise.
Personally I have no intention of giving up manual control of my car and I'm quite happy with the teeny tiny risk that entails. Besides, people who don't want to drive already have a number of options - taxi, bus, train.
But how is Tracy supposed to update her facebook profile and send tweets on her phone and check her make up in the mirror if she has to worry about irritating distractions like situational awareness and car control? Please , Think Of The Chi^H^H^H Millenials!
Umm, how about getting it developed by people who have quite a number of years driving experience instead. What an inexperienced driver might think is important might not be so to an experienced one and vice verca.
In his eyes he can do no wrong so what does he have to apologise for? If the president had died, well, just collateral damage for the greater good, right?
The reason there are more demonstrations with right wing governments in power anywhere is that the sort of hard left types who demonstrate are usually young , angry and naive. Right wing voters are usually more mature and protest in other ways when a left wing government is in power.
"There's a bunch of options, ranging from "mark everything setuid and owned by root" (the least efficient, but you could do it in a few lines of shell script)"
Yes, and it would take literally hours on a bit system plus a lot of things would break because they check their user id and won't run if they have superuser permissions for security reasons. As for NFS mounts... Next...
"which is a trivial edit to/etc/users)."
$ ls -l/etc/users ls: cannot access/etc/users: No such file or directory
Oh 'm sorry, did you mean/etc/passwd ?
Yes you could set all users to uid 0. And nothing would happen except no one would be able to login since in unix users are actually distinguised by their numeric user id, not their name which is merely an attribute thats used for login.

You shouldn't have bothered. You might know ignorance about unix is quite apparent since you don't even realise why ACLs are required in Windows but rarely used in unix due to group permissions and multiple group membership.
.... this would be next to impossible without hacking the kernel itself. I'm sure there's a way to make every program start with setuid root in unix/linux but short of hacking init or the kernel filesystem code I can't think of one.
But then with Windows process privilidge levels always were a bolted on after thought so no surprises really.
... they're not becoming acidic, they're becoming less alkaline and are slowly heading towards neutral. Not that that distinction matters to the plankton.
Personally I think this issue and other other pressures on ocean life from man such as pollution and plastic debris is far more pressing in the snort term than global warming but hardly anyone - even the enviromentalists - makes a big deal about it.
I think the half life is somewhere around the 10 years mark compared to something like 200 years or more for CO2. So methane isn't really as big a climate issue on a long term scale as some people make out.
... making notes as you go along or whiteboarding , how exactly? Plus stopping and reflecting on what you've done or want to do (even including talking to yourself!) is a standard part of development.
But ooooo , someone did it over a video stream so that must mean its a new and exciting method of development that no one in the history of computing has ever considered before!

If YES is the answer to 2 or more of those then yes, probably they're looking to leave.
After all, VMs were really only required for Windows where seperation of programs and libraries and process filesystem access restrictions was especially problematic compared to *nix. Now Windows looks like its finally dragged itself into the 1990s could VMs become a solution for niche edge case problems once more?
"There is no "high level waste" that goes back into the reactor."
A pedantic german. What a surprise. If it wasn't reprocessed it would be considered high level waste. Ok?
"On top of that you have a few hundred kg on acids... mainly nitric acid per kg... which are not Some extra low level waste which is easily dealt with but extremely difficult to be "dealt with"."
How old were these books you allegedly read? 1960s? I suggest you read up on modern methods such as molten salts.
" I've read a number thanks is no one going to believe."
Frankly I don't believe you know anything about it other than what you've read in some greenpeace propaganda pamphlets. When asked about your qualifications you apparently can't translate them. Sorry? Let me help - the word you're looking for is a "degree". Do you have one in anything appropriate to this topic?
"I suggest to read some 'hard stuff' and not the pseudo science you read, otherwise you knew what reprocessing is, how it works and what the result is... sigh."
I would kindly suggest you follow your own advice.

And the 3rd most dangerous is pilots. In supposedly the safest form of transport on the planet! I know , lets ban flying too!
Got anything better or is that it?
Oh, thats it, well thanks for playing.

Oh GTFU you silly little boy.

Most situations are scary to new drivers. It doesn't mean they're risky.

I'd stop drinking so much of the Assange Kool Aid if I were you and pay a visit to fanboy detox.

You need to get out more. Before Winter comes of course.
Amen to that. Wish I had mod points.

Oh dear, you got modded up, what a surprise.

Now go away and educate yourself.

Not.

It was because some programs (usually games) expected a certain CPU speed and did their timing based on it. Anything faster and things became messy.

No, didn't think so.
Now fuck off you waste of space.
"No, I can't as I'm not an native english speaker."
And thats your excuse for not given your qualifications is it?
I think a translation of that would be: "I don't have any".
"It is a safe bet that I'm minimum 30 years older than you."
Not unless you're in your late 70s.
"while I'm completely fed up with idiots like you."
Boo hoo.
"It is a no brainer that reprocessing increases waste,"
Some extra low level waste which is easily dealt with. The high level waste which is the real problem goes back into the reactor.
"read a damn book about it!"
I've read a number thanks. How about you read something other than greenpeace propaganda?
"I suggest to read some 'hard stuff' and not the pseudo science you read, otherwise you knew what reprocessing is, how it works and what the result is ... sigh."
