So while it is a solution for you as an individual, it could very well do nothing if everyone did it as an overall solution.
I absolutely agree. I support people using whatever PDF viewing application takes their fancy. I personally tend to use XPDF. Thus the "Use an alternative" not "Use another specific piece of software just as susceptible to the same problem of ubiquity."
You can switch to a good piece of software, but failing the existence of any good software anywhere, switch to something random. Kinda security through obscurity.
I know, why isn't the solution ever "Use an alternative PDF viewer?" Instead of "Update Adobe Acrobat to another version filled with gaping security flaws."
I have the sinking suspicion that in 100 million years, so much art and culture will be created as to render both Cicero and Casablanca meaningless, and likely totally lost in the vast multitudes of time.
That would be so cool. Imagine a vastly powerful, intergalactic race, tracing the origins of the only extraterrestrial contact they've ever had, these probes. Imagine they find their path circling back around, to originate from their very own home planet, from so far in the past as to be lost beyond memory.
I'm not certain, but I think it was either Hanford or Three-Mile Island in the US that exposed a bunch of people to a ton of radiation, but only told them it was a minuscule amount (like 200 microcuries, but really it was 2000 curies or something). A ton of people did not fair well.
Like in your example, more transparency was needed. This is why we need things like the NRC to enforce standards, so that the public is more well informed.
Unfortunately, old accidents have "informed" the public that a mere 200 microcuries will do 2000 curies worth of damage, which is madness. Public schools should be teaching the real hazardous levels of things like radiation and electricity (30v and whatnot). Then they would be able to say that the leak in Vermont is only 200 microcuries per liter or something and everyone would see that and go "That's a fairly trivial amount." You know?
Dude, prime factors. There's only one prime factorization for any number. Decimal 3 is always 100, or 101. Decimal 5 is always 1000, or 1001. 11 is 2, 110 is 6, 21 is 4, 102 is 3, 13 is 2. As for the radix, You don't add the same way. Adding might be extremely difficult, or maybe rules emerge like for multiplying in decimal. This system was designed for multiplying, though.
No, no. He said that Greenpeace has a cyte, like lymph nodes have lymphocytes. (Okay, I have no idea what those things are, but it ends in cyte. Doctors, nurses or people who have a clue about biology feel free to correct me.)
Well, apart from the already mentioned fact that tritium is a natural by-product of fission, most modern reactors (pressurized water reactors or boiling water reactors, yes, not even pebble bed) are "melt down proof." Chernobyl is a superb example of why even old American designs are very, very safe and the old Russian designs are very, very insane.
It is extremely disheartening to see someone so clearly misinformed about such a very easily researched topic.
Well, it does make it sound like a "crumbling" old reactor is "springing" a terribly dangerous tritium "leak" when really it's hardly hazardous at all. I mean, just because everything you read about radiation has an extremely negative spin doesn't change the fact that it's all still spin.

It needs a network of PCs, which can get expensive outside the college dorm environment.
Yes. No one outside of a college dorm has ever had a LAN party. Ever.

-1 Whooooosh!

If you are willing to give up your liberty for security, you will get neither liberty or security.
Personally, I prefer the phrasing:
Those who can surrender essential liberty to obtain temporary security deserve neither, and will lose both

Awesome.
As noted above, genetically modified produce is quite possibly the very definition of agriculture. Please inform yourself.
Extortion is always the solution.
Sorry, but there's no such thing as racism against white people.

But ya. Lies are bad.
Leaking lots of primary coolant is bad. But if it's a controlled leak, it can really be of minimal danger.
Actually, I live in the Bronx, and you only really see that kind of thing on the stores and schools.

Everything has leaks.
Nothing is perfect.
You could use commas, like 11,0j, and that would make the first number 3,2,0j. Or you could just have more than ten numerals, like b0j.
Ya, and it was a bad design. Another great example of how things aren't done anymore.
You people see a problem, I see a marketing opportunity: Lead-Lined Underwear!
Three words:
Still produce tritium
