  1. Re:Why? on Volunteer Towns Sought For Nuclear Waste · · Score: 1

    It's not the environmentalists who extend the runtimes of reactors beyond what they should be.

    There are nutjobs everywhere. Mengele was a scientist but we aren't going to ignore science over that, right?

    You don't see the French have trouble with it because that kind of stuff isn't reported in international news.

    There's also plenty of non-legal racism in the minds of people. Utoya was just a recent reminder of that.

    Or supply the Earth Defense Force with plenty of rocket launchers.

  6. Re:Short games are fine, but... on Developer Panel Asks Whether AAA Games Are Too Long · · Score: 1

    Yeah, people don't lose patience, they don't run out of attention, they simply lose interest. If a game is longer than it can hold your interest that's a problem with the quality of the game, not its length. I have games with hundreds of hours logged in my Steam library but those aren't games that take that long to finish, it's games like Monday Night Combat, Dawn of War 2, Call of Duty multiplayer or AI War: Fleet Command. The games that are actually meant to take 80 hours to finish or so rarely even cross the 10 hour mark because they're often too uninteresting.

    Games that fail to sell well often have a disinterest problem, of course that's something no company would want to admit. "People just don't want to play our game" is a tough pill to swallow, especially when the game was very dear to its developers. Meanwhile used and pirated games are used as an excuse to claim that people are interested in the game and just not paying the company for it.

    Cutting taxes will only boost the economy if the economy is being choked by the taxes. That's not even close to what's happening in the western world so tax cuts won't boost the economy, only empty the govt's coffers. Maybe in an extreme case it can turn you into a tax haven but that's not a terribly good idea either as Ireland's troubles show.

    They're using military ships to screen freighters against pirates, that's still not enough to stop piracy.

  9. Re:Perfect job for industrial robots. on Dismantling a Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 1

    The difficult part is that robot electronics are vulnerable to the radiation inside the reactors, that drives the price and engineering difficulties up.

    That wasn't dismantled, they broke it but it's still standing.

    Meh, these are tabloids, they're punishing people in the court of public opinion without a shred of evidence.

    Pirates will just spot the things and stay away, going after easier targets. Meanwhile anybody who's not a pirate gets murdered by your safari freaks, turning the freaks into the actual pirates.

    Besides, massive human rights violations aren't going to make you popular with developed nations, they might just use their military escort troops in the area to kill your freaks.

    Obama already offered the Reps a deal: Raise the debt ceiling and taxes, cut spendings drastically. Instead the Reps don't want to hear anything about tax raises.

  18. Re:Money on Belgian Newspapers Delisted On Google · · Score: 2

    If that was just retaliation they could've done it at the start of the lawsuit. Instead they did it once the courts told them to remove stuff. Maybe they did more than asked but it's believable that they would just erase as much as possible to make sure they aren't accidentally violating any part of the court order. I mean, who's to say they wouldn't flip over the small excerpts shown in the regular search results or something?

  19. Re:Google *IS* the internet on Belgian Newspapers Delisted On Google · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Also Google News could only steal their readers if the newspapers actually had stories that couldn't be found on other publications. If they're just copy-pasting AP/AFP/whatever articles they're getting crushed on the internet either way.

    You cannot have an algorithm that solves the general halting problem but you can have algorithms that solve the halting problem for a specific set of algorithms and you can use human ingenuity to come up with a proof for previously undecided algorithms. There's no guarantee that you'll come up with a proof in finite time but it's likely enough for algorithms that you're going to use on real problems.

    It's not fair that the US is the only one who gets hacked like that, they should hack all countries equally. I'm sure my own country has plenty of dirty laundry as do many others. Especially China.

    There was also the Super Game Boy game, that wasn't much like the original but it was fucking awesome. It's on the 3DS's virtual console if it's too hard to find a cartridge.
