Probably because Chrome is webkit underneath it all, and that contains Apple's standard web dev debugging tools.
Google put a nice UI on it, as well as doing good work in sandboxing it. I'm not sure if it's more reliable, but I've been finding Safari reasonably flakey.
I was really imagining the spent fuel rod pool in the same building, just down a long way. That way you could still use the same crane mechanism to move it (presumably a gantry crane), but you would just need a lot more cable.
Issues of accurately aligning the longer pendulum into the pool are left as an exercise to for the designer.
If they cooling ponds were slightly below sea level it wouldn't have been a problem either.
A pipe leading from the sea that could be opened in the case of loss of power, or alternatively that is always kept closed by power (so it automatically opens on power failure) would have been a better design.
I argue that testing, process, management and analysis all require statistics. In practice this is done using continuous functions even when the probability distribution is discrete (e.g. the central limit theorem.)
I agree with you there. I had thought about stats, but hadn't considered the continuous functions aspect.
Implementation requires knowledge of first-order logic, which is mathematics.
I'd be surprised if this is the case. Can you give an example that shows why it is necessary?
Design and requirements-gathering require knowledge of the problem domain, which I hope will involve algorithmics and mathematics. If they truly don't, I feel deeply sorry for any developer working on the project.
I'm all for discrete maths, which most algorithms are (graph searching etc). I think that continuous maths (with the exception above) are limited in their usefulness for most domains.
The software engineering part doesn't need (continuous) math. Testing, process, management, analysis, design, coding, requirements gathering are all fairly math free.
Sure there are some domains that require continuous math, but there are a hell of a lot of other domains that don't.
I was told I was eligible for a loan, and I thanked them profusely for it. I explained that I was a bankrupt, and that his message to me was such welcome news.
He kept asking how much my wife earned - I explained I didn't know as she kept that from me, but I didn't think her disposable income was high because she had to support my son's drug habit. Managed to spin that one out for quite a while.
Another time I annoyed the telemarketer so much that after he hung up on me he rang back to abuse me.
"But since the devil's bride, Reason, that pretty whore, comes in and thinks she's wise, and what she says, what she thinks, is from the Holy Spirit, who can help us, then? Not judges, not doctors, no king or emperor, because [reason] is the Devil's greatest whore."
"The reason apple works is because there is exactly 1 phone model"
Er, no, there are multiple models, with different features. Camera? iPod Touch doesn't have it. GPS? doesn't have it. Amount of RAM? Speed of processor? There is the iPad (very different sized screen & new APIs, different sensitivity to the accelerometer). The new iPhone has double the number of pixels.
Sure it's better than a lot of phones out there, but they are not all identical.
Well I'm sure that the current companies paying royalties could put some money into a hitman fund to kill both him and his grandchildren, and hasten the patent expiry...
I bought a 13" Mac Book Pro for my wife, and she uses it for eBay and email - and that's pretty much it. If the iPad had been around I would have bought that for her instead.

It's what they are doing right now - pumping sea water onto/into the cooling ponds.

iOS has many features for blind people - apparently it's one of the best machines out there to use.

He's apparently a pain to work with, is extremely demanding, but he's forced the company to make brilliant products.
I like your well considered sentiment. It is quality, and will last me a long time. May I buy it?

Apparently it's quite hard, as you spelt "Blasphemy" wrong... :-p

It'd be cheaper in the long run.
