Because that movie sure PROVES that the phracking caused the phenomenon in the water supples.
NOT.
What I saw was a series of anecdotes with some supporting science, but predominantly just a lot of OMG speculation. Sure, it was very disturbing, and merits scientific investigation. This regulation will help that investigation.
It may so appear to some, but it may be so, or it may not be so in fact. We don't know whether they intend to open source it or not. Not from this article, anyway. It certainly doesn'y say it will NOT be open sourced, though.
This is the kind of disagreement in which neither side can ever hope to convince the other. Let's just say that you are free to do almost anything you want under a BSD license. That's an objective fact. You are not compelled to contribute back any improvements you may make in a work. Which one contributes more to global "freedom" is much too broad and slippery a concept to ever resolve unanimously.
Do you know something we don't? Is there some defiency in our understanding of patents? "A patent... consists of a set of exclusive rights granted by a sovereign state to an inventor or their assignee for a limited period of time in exchange for the public disclosure of an invention" (emphasis added).
They are all for sale. Everyone in the System. Corruption is the one thing which is impossible to design out, because by definition corruption *IS* the undermining of the system. Hari Seldon's Foundation is the only way to fight it, and it can't win by fixing the system. The only way is to tear down the old system and build a new one, like the 1992 revolution in the Soviet Union. It's really sad that human nature is the thing that dooms all efforts at effective governing.
The bureaucracy has a certain very real independence from the government. That can be a problem when the administration is trying to accomplish worthwhile things, but it can also serve as a check on corruption in the government, even if in turn corruption in the bureacracy is a huge problem in itself. Wheels within wheels.
It's a sad commentary when good things come from parts of the system working at cross purposes, but it works.
Nobody can explain that coherently. It's a make-work project for frustrated "designers" who can never be happy without completely throwing away the tried and true in its entirety and "designing" their extreme idiosyncratic idea of a perfect world. There's really nothing wrong with this, but the new design should be seen for what it is - arbitrary change driven by ivory tower ego.
It wasn't just moving everything to the third world that was stupid. It was moving everything to a single fucking flood plain in one small spot of the third world that was stupid. I think we have found out why real estate was so fucking cheap there.
Certainly disasters can happen almost anywhere, but it's not true that you can't foresee or avoid floods. Don't build your factories in a FUCKING FLOOD PLAIN. Or figure the cost of adequate levees into your plans.
Uh, all the eggs were not in one basket. I heard figures of around 10-20% of world hard drive production that was in Thailand. Not even sure that ALL the production in Thailand was affected. Then there is sub-component production, which complicates the picture.
The real problem is that there wasn't excess capacity. Also, the just-in-time inventory fad where nobody actually stocks anything any more makes any disturbance like this much more critical. But mostly I think there are elements in the manufacturing, distribution, and retailing chain that are orgasmic about the opportunity for gouging afforded by the disturbance. As always, it's very difficult to pinpoint the profiteers, but they are clearly there.
Hope you guys are enjoying the invisible hand of the ingrown corrupt super-capitalist market which you worship. It's more like an invisible phallus raping you in your sleep.
Yes. Fleeing for greener pastures is also fundamentally cowardly. The US constitutes a democratic republic. People: presidents and representatives win and lose elections. USE the fucking elective power GUARANTEED to you, goddammit. I know it's not easy; I know the two parties have come to constitute a de facto oligarchy. But the bottom line is that no one can (yet) stop you writing in anyone's name on an election ballot. The grass roots must organize.
The power of the internet in leveling the playing field of ideas and persuasion is a staggering revolution.

Finally, there's a really funny question of "what exactly will you bomb at a nuclear plant"? Reactor? It's solid steel
Wreck the cooling system, dude. Just like at Fukushima. Wreck all the backup diesel generators. Blow up a couple of the towers connecting the plant to the grid. Screw with the spent-fuel storage. Rip out all the wiring you can find. Have the suicide squad find radioactives and sprinkle them around everywhere. Set some smoky fires and leave cyanide gas generators behind.
... will terminate criticality so all you get is localized spread of fissile material from reactor as far as your bomb can carry it which will usually mean inside the reactor building meaning
The body has two eyes, two nostrils, two ears, two kidneys, two lungs, two testes or ovaries. Makes sense.
OK, so why does it have only ONE HEART and ONE TRACHEA? Huh? Huh? How much sense does that make? Whether you believe in evolution or intelligent design, makes no difference, that just doesn't figure. Just about the two most short term vital organs in the body. Yeah, I know, the brain. That's why I said "just about." But I can see why there is only one brain. Think about it.
Actually, it seems to me that this fact boosts intelligent design. It's very possible to conceive an intelligent designer who plays tricks. But since when does evolution play tricks? Two hearts and two tracheae would be a very strong survival trait. Even a single trachea completely SEPARATE FROM THE GODDAM FOOD INTAKE would be a strong survival trait. Just imagine the man in the restaurant who has two trachea and inhales a chunk of food and gets one of his two tracheae plugged. "Oh damn! I've gone and plugged a trachea again. I'll have to get that looked at next week."
You're looking at it the wrong way. First, take a look at the size of your real CPU with 2 million transistors. Now imagine a square made up of 31.6 x 31.6 of those chips to equal 1000 times as many transistors. Think you could fit those all on the motherboard? Think you could get carry the heat away? Think your power mains could supply that kind of power?

Yeah, FUCK YOU, moderators. Talk about corruption.
How about we deal with the actual problem the best we can and not let anyone interfere unduly and systematically with GPS.
Yeah, fud you, you blind cowardly asshole.

Parent is goddam right. Moderators have a problem with the truth? Corruption is corruption.
Everybody I know calls it "route 128" or "route 93". Massachusetts, if that matters.
Actually "in-ter-state high-way ten" has six syllables.

It's hard to predict, but it's also possible the quality will take a jump upward because the equipment is freshly reconditioned or certified.

Yeah, a witless label sure defeats roman's arguments. NOT.
Yeah, I guess they will as long as 300,000,000 individuals stay stupid and give up.

Actually the processing costs so far outweigh the materials cost that it is not possible to say that, unequivocally.
Albeit, by the claim, half as much gasoline as a like car with an internal combustion gasoline engine.
