I find it amazing that nuclear shills can still cling to these tired old "coal is more radioactive than nulcear" fairy stories. That report was written by people who work for the nuclear industry. Of coarse they will find that nuclear is better, much like a Microsoft sponsered survey will find that Windows is better than Linux. Like all nuclear spin stories, it assumes that no nuclear accidents happen. Count in chernobyl and Fukusima and you get a different story, especially considering Fukusima is still leaking: http://www.theguardian.com/environment/video/2013/aug/20/fukushima-still-leaking-toxic-water-video
Have a look at this: http://www.businessspectator.com.au/article/2013/8/18/energy-markets/rwe-pulls-31gw-due-renewables Renewables have made electricity so cheap that RWE is taking 3.1 GW of fossil fuel generating capacity off the market. "The reason they give for that is that wholesale electricity prices are way down in Germany as a consequence of more renewable in the mix. They would be losing money if they needed to sell at these low prices."
Ever considered what would happen if an asteroid hit that nuclear power plant? It would be like Fukusima, except that there would be no one to pore water on it, because everyone would be dead. With no one to control the meltdown, it would just burn uncontrollably, turning everything downwind into a nuclear wastland.
Benchmarks show Snapdragon 800 GPU as faster (http://www.anandtech.com/show/7190/nvidia-shield-review-tegra-4-crossroads-pc-mobile-gaming/5), and I have seen no evidence of it running hot (feel free to post link to back that claim, if you have one). Secondly, the recent benchmark scandel was about a Samsung chip (Exynos 5 Octa), not a Qualcomm one, so that entire argument is irrelevent.
Obviously you are wrong. Bolt himself has stated 'Drugs scandals have harmed sport but I am clean'. There's never been a case in the history of sport where an athlete has been caught lying about taking drugs, so that's pretty much case closed.
"Until recently, Tokyo Electric, known as Tepco, flatly denied that any of that water was leaking into the ocean, even though various independent studies of radiation levels in the nearby ocean have suggested otherwise. In recent days, Tepco has retreated to saying that it was not sure whether there was a leak into the ocean. Mr. Tanaka said that the evidence was overwhelming. âoeWeâ(TM)ve seen for a fact that levels of radioactivity in the seawater remain high, and contamination continues â" I donâ(TM)t think anyone can deny that,â he said Wednesday at a briefing after a meeting of the authorityâ(TM)s top regulators. âoeWe must take action as soon as possible."
We came within a hairs breath of all out nuclear war during the Cuban missile crisis. There were several other close calls during the cold war too. Basically, we avoided nuclear war just blind luck and chance.

Yes, becuase you have an uncontrolled meltdown. You're talking about a radiation fallout spume across the whole of europe
why does it have to be not big enough to wipe out a city?
You think nuclear power plant is vunerable only to small asteroids?

Are you joking? Nuclear gets the biggest subsidies of all:
http://www.ucsusa.org/nuclear_power/nuclear_power_and_global_warming/nuclear-power-subsidies-report.html
The insurance is cappedat at ridiculously low value, meaning if there is an accident the taxpayer will have to pay.
Without the insurance cap nuclear power would not exist.

Get rid of them and replace with simple maths question:

What use is a water plant if you can't control it via a twitter feed? How we managed 30 years without this is beyond me.
As far as I know Qualcomm doesn't have any SoC which is 4+4 big.LITTLE
No, they are talking about MediaTek's new 8 core SoC: http://www.fudzilla.com/home/item/32068-mediatek-unveils-first-real-eight-core-soc
It's not big.LITTLE. It's eight ARM Cortex A7s.
Qualcomm is right. 8 core is stupid. In fact, 4 core is also stupid, for the same reasons. The only reason 4 core exists is marketing.

Not really. The Snapdragon 800 has a faster GPU and runs happily without any active cooling
According to Anandtech benchmarks it easily beats the iPad 4: http://www.anandtech.com/show/7190/nvidia-shield-review-tegra-4-crossroads-pc-mobile-gaming/4
It also beats Snapdragon 800 in CPU (but not GPU). In fairness, it has to be said that Tegra 4 needs to be actively colled, while Snapdragon 800 does not.
Tegra 5 has OpenGL ES 3.0 as well, but this is a review of a Tegra 4 device. Tegra 5 will not be released for some time yet
It's quite interesting that the Shield requires active cooling. Seems like the Tegra 4 Soc runs extreemly hot. There are customer complaints of over heating for the Toshiba Excite:
http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Excite-AT15LE-A32-PDA0EU-00101Y-10-1-Inch/product-reviews/B00D78Q2NQ/ref=cm_cr_dp_see_all_btm?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1&sortBy=bySubmissionDateDescending&tag=at055-20
Also, there are rumours that smartphone OEMs avoided Tegra 4 because of heat and battery consumption issues.
either that or it's "New Mexico". "The pilot was 4 New Mexicos from the threshold" doesn't make much sense though

I call fingers "hand toes". People think I'm wierd.
Some other troubling news: TEPCO reciently admitted that Fukushima has been leaking radioactive water into the sea for the last two years:
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/11/world/asia/japanese-nuclear-plant-may-have-been-leaking-for-two-years.html?_r=0
"Until recently, Tokyo Electric, known as Tepco, flatly denied that any of that water was leaking into the ocean, even though various independent studies of radiation levels in the nearby ocean have suggested otherwise. In recent days, Tepco has retreated to saying that it was not sure whether there was a leak into the ocean.

Does anyone know who bought the franchise for Desert Bus?

That was a classic.
There's a better article here:

Even worse, it's not even Haswell. $1800 for a laptop with last years technology?
no, there's no problem with translation. They're dumbed down for Americans
