Nope, I'm thinking of MSE. Mine never stays up to date and auto updating it doesn't work, so MS tells my my AV is out of date... lots of chatter every time I boot.
Just in case someone thinks this is serious, when you put an SSN on an IRS form, they cross check it against all other forms. So if someone else uses your SSN, they will figure out which use is legit. This goes doubly for dependents. Since they started doing this, there was a large drop in dependents claimed.
A performance test works like this: you make the car go 55 MPH on a calibrated treadmill and then you record what speed the car claims it is going. You then floor the car and make sure that it things it was floored, and then you take it all the way off and make sure it thought it was all the way off... et cetera.
Your dealer was not doing a performance test. But that is the only kind of test the DMV does in my state.
for 5, the same would have been said about coal in England when all of the fuel was wood. or petroleum in the US when the only energy source was Whale oil. The idea is to ease the transition to the new source of energy.
The idea is to think about the future of energy production, not just the now.
There is also the question, do you want the energy silicone valley in the US or in China? Right now, it looks like it will be in China.
There is no reason the black box can not be tested when you get your emissions tested. From that, you could get reliability estimates for various makers too which could be used in states that don't have emissions testing.
I lived in NYC for many years and noticed how great the taxi drivers were at driving. No, they do not follow the laws, but they do follow a different set of rules. For example, in Boston or Chicago, when you are inching along, if someone puts the corner of their car in front of you, you can swerve around them and re=cut them off before they get into your late--in NYC, once they cut in, they are in. You have to let them go in. The Boston/Chicago way is very dangerous and leads to games of chicken. The NYC way is much safer. There is no law about it, it just is.
I do have to say that if you don't know the rules, it is probably very hard/annoying and seems quite arbitrary.
The DOA numbers usually come out every year or so. I can't find anything but 2003 numbers now.
Here is another link stating 15% of Apple and Dell laptops require repair.
BTW, 20 percent is the industry average (IIRC), I think you meant to say, "it's time to find another industry." but then people would have toasters on their desks.
Last time I called, the first level guy was having me do stuff with the CLI to deal with a legit, confusing, problem--and he figured it out. Every other place I call, only the third level guy can even comprehend that the basic fixes did not work and that is why I'm calling.
The flow is soil -> house -> outside. Speeding up step 2 is how you decrease the radon level in your house. Slowing down step one is not practical--you would have to replace the soil under your house. An inversion layer (unless in your basement) is irrelevant.
The article does not explain any of this. I was a radiation physicist, I've done more than cursory research.
"The radiation" presumably means the gamma-rays, beta and alpha particles emitted by the radon and its daughters. However, none of thee could travel more than a meter in water (a lot less than the several kilometers that the ocean is deep at this point).
The radioactive material, is the material that will decay and eventually emit radiation. The only bit of radioactive material that is potentially mobile is the radon (which is a gas at room temperature/pressure). But I don't see how it move through the water column.
*facepalm* That is right. There are three main sources of naturally occurring radiation: thorium, uranium, and potassium. Radon is part of the uranium series. Though, the natural uranium series does not include fission products.
The usual remediation technique is to ventilate when you have elevated radon levels, and tests are used to confirm that this works (and it basically always does).
Obviously you need both radon coming in and a house that traps it.
"Cesium exposure can only kill through radiation sickness", or cancer. Cesium-137 releases a gamma-ray at about 660 keV and exposes you when it is not in your body--though you can also eat it and get the beta particle it releases as well.
After above ground nuclear testing, the radiation level down wind from the test sites would increase after a rain fall, and only return to normal with cesium-137's 30 year half-life.
Iodine has other pathways of exposure as well, it is not just thyroid cancer that it can cause.
Start a bubble of a soluble gas under a few feet of water and watch it dissolve as it goes up the water column. Nitrogen (the main component of air) is almost completely insoluble in water, so experiments performed with your lungs at the pool do not give you intuition about what happens to soluble gases.
* Apple has not released nor announced plans to release any computers that run iOS * Google has announced plant to release Chrome computers * Google thinks that these computers can replace existing desktop computers for work
Your FUD doesn't even pass the laugh test. Existing Apple computers all have (at least one) legally licensed version of OS X that they can run.
Radon is a gas and that part of the ocean is very deep. How would it have traveled a few miles to the surface so quickly and without dissolving? You might think that all noble gases are not soluble in water, but radon is actually fairly soluble.

You know, many mac users do have Windows computers at work, so we do know that Windows AV is anything but silent.
Forget RTFA, you didn't even read this thread.

In some states, the speed limit is enforced by cameras and set to 2.5 MPH over the speed limit. There is no fighting the ticket, you just have to pay.
You can imagine how little people like it and the officials who administer it.
Goes to show you what a taxophobic electorate can do to you.

The industry DOA rate is about 20%. The p-value for your claim is 2.037036e-10. I'm going to call BS.

" time has come for GNOME to embrace Linux a bit more boldly" Nothing says bold quite like the phrase, "a bit"
Yes, this huge disparity between the half-lives means that any given activity of radon will lead to basically zero activity of lead-210.
I think he blew you out of the water with 5.

Nah. But it does become a real problem with trapped inside your house.
