At the risk of being flamed by psudo elite computer intellectuals, I do have some experience on this question. Everything I say am telling you is pretty anecdotal but there does seem to be some scientific correlations. I have known people who were children (babies) when an incident very similar happened. The radiation levels were considered low âoeenoughâ to be considered safe. Safe for governments and businessâ(TM) is not the same kind of safe you should subject your children to. Problems seem especially prominent in females. I have seen at least two cases and have read of countless others in where benign growths occur. The thyroid seems to be easily affected along with other parts of the endocrine system even when subjected to very low levels of radiation. The issues seem to be anomalies as in a lot of cases normal endocrine functions are not hindered. I used to live just outside of Tokyo and the fallout coupled with the existing pollution would be issues that have to be addressed when considering having a child. I am not saying it canâ(TM)t be done but some type of action would need to be taken to raise a very healthy child. I have intentionally not moved back to Japan as I am about to have a child and donâ(TM)t want to risk it. If you have the means I would have your child elsewhere and move back after a few years. Then again raising a child in a culture as beautiful and rich in tradition may very well be worth the risk. Hope you come to an informed decision and maybe keep us informed.
That is very well reasoned and I agree but don't you think that instead of just detaining "millions" of people they should try to research better methods of screening and streamlining the detainment protocols?
BTW it is Dell Inc. now, not Dell Comp. Corp.
I actually work at Dell and in my opinion wait for the next generation/iteration of whatever they are offering. Anytime dell releases anything it usually won't have most of the bug worked out on the first attempt. Just a little warning. Oh and yes the consumer tech support does suck nowadays because to keep cost down they transfered most support to India. Have fun and quit calling for stupid stuff.
All I have to say is that they should make people take a class or pass a basic user test before they are allowed to utilize tech support. I agree whole heartedly with the post.
