  1. Re:'Glowing' radiation doesn't exist on Chernobyl...18 Years Later · · Score: 1

    ---That's fluorescence, not radiation. Do you actually think nuclear reactors have big vats of glowing green ooze?

    It's radio-activated flourscence. Oh, and it IS glowing... Just not a wavelength you can see. And that "ooze" is usually salt or water depending if it's a fast or slow reactor.

    But doesnt it, in certain places, work wonders? No electricity needed.

    Of course, with "RADIATION!!!" being an extremly negative buzzword, using sources like this is nearly out of the question.

  3. Re:An irony on Chernobyl...18 Years Later · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Sounds about right..

    There's a bacteria that can live in high radiation places due to high redundancy of DNA. Those suckers have 5 copies of dna on 1 long strand, and can auto-correct incorrect bits. And multiple strands per cell.

    ---The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of waters.

    Great star from heaven while falling... Sounds like an ICBM or EMP-nuke

    ---The name of the star is called Wormwood; and a third of the waters became wormwood, and many men died from the waters, because they were made bitter.

    Perhaps cherynobl-like disaster...

    Why, if you put those together, it sounds like good'ol Global Thermonuclear War. The estimate for that date is 2015 by the "Time Travler" John Titor (www.johntitor.com). He mentions some biblical-like strange event near that time.

    Then he's an idiot.

    Ever heard of "Indiglo" before? Well, back in the 20's to the 50's people used radium paint for clock dials. It would glow a flourscent green like a permanent indiglo.

    I'd not even bother.

    1: Everybody can make a website.. Notice I didnt say good
    2: Anti-crapware like the new AOL discs /ad aware and the like make problem solving easier on consumers
    3: Real software issues on MS systems always require a reinstall-Use vendor wipe disc
    4: If its a hardware issue, you cant repair motherboards and the like. On dell/gateway crap, it's "Buy New Machine"
    5: You're just HS students. I'm 22 and people look down at our age group as consultants. The "Consultant" is supposed to be 30-40 after numerous lay-offs and fires (from idiotic companies that lie to get out of unemp.)

    Yeah, at 22, I'm jaded enough to be a consultant. I've not seen it all, but close.

    Yes, they're getting easier.

    Easier games sell faster cause you have people reccomending games they beat.

    Back in the old days, there wasnt 128MB gfx cache or 2GHz cpu's. You made the games tough as nails.

    "For over a year I've been suggesting that artists stick a PayPal button on their sites and offer amnesty for downloaders. Paying the artists 2 or 3 times what they actually profit for these crappy CD deals that the RIAA companies force artists to sign, is peanuts compared to CD prices."

    In most cases, that's not possible. The artists usually give full, exclusive rights to the producers.

    "Permutation City" by Greg Egan.

    The year is around 2054 and rudimentary AI's are here. People have been digitized, but only run at the maximum allowed then at 1/17 time ratio.

    The book deals with spam filters (baneysian and adaptive ai - if the spam filter acts as you, is it really avoiding what you want?), AI, duplication of the mind, evolution, government.. There's some pretty heavy theory in this book.

    What I can tell is it's mainly sold in Australia and UK as mine's pried only as such. I got my copy at a 1/2 priced book store here in Indiana.
