I suppose it depends on the design, but a smaller reactor can be built so that if it loses cooling it just shuts down (i.e. the reaction stops), not melts down. I remember reading about this a long time ago, about how we could have reactors in neighborhoods with no problems. Oh wait, here we go:
"Most [small reactors] are also designed for a high level of passive or inherent safety in the event of malfunction. A 2010 report by a special committee convened by the American Nuclear Society showed that many safety provisions necessary, or at least prudent, in large reactors are not necessary in the small designs forthcoming."
That is it. They could have added "-- which promises higher speeds than USB 3.0" or something like that. My "field" is not to keep track of every promising type of computer port that might possibly come available. They couldn't have come up with one more sentence of explanation? Even, as someone mentioned above, if they don't explain what a browser is when talking about Chrome or Firefox, most often they say "the Chrome browser". And what am I going to find when I Google "thunderbolt"? I...
Huh.
Actually news about the damn port. It's got ten gigs, and Apple likes it and HTC and stuff. So, wow.
The point is, if the article had just said "a high speed adapter port that's the bee's knees", then I'd know more from, you know, READING THE FUCKING SUMMARY. That SUMMARIZES stuff. I.E. gives information (albeit in a condensed form). Rather than assumes that everyone knows everything about every new development that comes along.
"Someone announced something really neat and cool and you'll want one. It'll be out soon, on every platform. What, you don't know? Google it, mother-fucker!" Yeah, real fucking informative. News I can use indeed.
You can't really fight terrorism with bullets and bombs, just like you can't fight hackers with some "new" anti-virus program or whatever (at least not for long). But nobody wants to think like that. "If we kill enough of them, they'll stop" doesn't work with terrorists - they're roaches in the walls and you can't get them all without collateral damage or creating yet a different kind of roach. However, all we have are bullets and bombs. "If we build a good enough firewall, it'll stop them" is just a challenge to hackers. Nobody wants to hear "You must completely change how your computers work to have even a ghost of a chance." Instead, it's "How do I fix what I have now?" The answer "You can't" doesn't let you keep your job or make anyone any money.
"Bomb those nasty aliens. Fly right up there and bomb them. Oh, yes, those nasty, nasty aliens, bomb them hard. More, more! You know how to do it!" Well, that's from memory, so maybe it's not 100% correct. Pretty sure that's from Ender's Game...
Did the drawing consent? HMMMM? Did you think of that? The drawing CAN'T consent. Think of the imaginary children! They can't protect themselves, so we need laws to protect them. Imaginary laws, like the ones this person was convicted with.
True dat. I mean, that's what he says. He hopes that "the internet" doesn't protest next time. There is going to be a next time. They will couch it differently, it's saving children or penguins or cats or something, and oh, yeah, by the way, we can send you to Gitmo for "illegally" downloading. Okay, not Gitmo, just a fine of 3 times your salary. Okay, okay, just one times your salary. See, we're reasonable.
I don't know what's worse, the fact that you say Fox News is good information, or the almost sarcastic tone you've taken in your entire post. I mean, really!
I've got an older one, but I still like it fine. I don't need anything too fancy. Used to have it hardwired, now I have a wifi adapter. Works great for what I want to do with it.
I don't understand your comments. I read the article and he didn't seem to be bashing the Jonas Brothers at all, and didn't really attack audiophiles at all. It's almost like you were being - sarcastic.
You know, I don't see ANYTHING in that statement that precludes stems cells turning into a horrible monster that then roams the countryside, perhaps even leaving Colorado! I think the FDA might want to know if this happens and, thus, control it. The FDA appears to be only thinking of us, and trying to protect us form gross abominations of nature that might be coming to harm us. And it sounds like you don't want this. Which makes me wonder if you're a terrorist. Are you using a VPN or Tor? Hmmm? Maybe the FDA wants to know that as well.
Chiming in: I have a hybrid Camry, bought used a year or so ago. My previous car was a Honda Civic that got about 30 MPG. I had it for 13 years or so, and it was a good car. However, my Camry is a full-sized, heated leather seats, power windows, whiz-bang kind of car, and it gets 34+ MPG. So, better mileage, much nicer ride and comfort, and I'll probably keep it for the same amount of time as my previous car. Can't talk to the battery issue yet, as the car is only 4-5 years old. I'm happy with it so far.
No, no, I'm sure your comment was absolutely serious, and, haha, it makes you look goofy. Let's dissect it some more. I mean, you said , "Smart, RIM", and you must have meant 'smart' like in 'hurting from a slap'. So you think that RIM selling this at this price is a slap in the face of consumers, i.e., they aren't even worth the $300 they're asking. Maybe because they were made by alien technology, and only cost RIM $1.50 to make?
I went through this as well, and as macs4all above mentioned, if it hadn't been for a job offer at a place I used to work, where the people knew me and trusted I could do the job (as I'd already had), I'd still be out of work. Don't put your age down on your resume, that might help. I stopped putting my graduation date, and only put jobs 10 years old or newer. Before that, I lumped everything together, if I put it down at all.
Of course, it didn't really work for me, so who knows if it's even good advice.
That snippet was just the piece I needed to complete the song! I've put it together from a lot of other "fair use" sources and almost had the whole thing. But I missed the podcast! And I almost had the song FOR FREE! Damn UMG, damn them all to hell!

Well, I guess I don't care then, because we only have Walgreens around here.
Near as I figure, the correct answer is D: Table. What'd I win?
The summary is 3 sentences. From it, we know:
Thunderbolt is a port.

I honestly think that is not too much to ask.

There, fixed that for you.
What is Gawker, anyway? I guess I don't know and don't care. And that's the difference between ignorance and apathy.

It seems the only reason to become a police officer now is to legally be allowed to be a thug. "Protect and Serve" is a Joke.

YEAH! NIKE WAS BEHIND THIS! LET'S ALL GO GET THEM!
I've got a batch of torches and pitchforks here I'll sell you all real cheap.
