    yes, in an all out war with Russia or China we would need to strike more than 1,000 targets. and contrary to popular belief fueld by Hollywood, this would neither kill all human nor plunge us into a nuclear winter.

    let's see how the 2nd electrical producing reactor did, to compare to this 2nd proposed coal energy plant. We'd be talking about the next electricity producing reactor after the ERB-I (100 KW), which was the USSR's Obninsk Nuclear Power Plant at 5 MW which was connected to a power grid. Going on to the next one, the first commercial reactor Calder Hall in Windscale, England, was opened in 1956 with 50 MW and was later upgraded to 200 MW. So as I said, this article is about a proposed "popcorn popper", which by the way is slang joke used by those of us who worked in nuclear power industry to refer to small fossil plant that come online during peak demand.

    wrong, government is the primary way the uberwealthy steal from us, for our goverment is in their pockets. our US government needs to be butchered to a third of what it is now (the other 66% is unconstitutional), and their current masters destroyed (banking cartel, petro cartel, weapons cartel..).

    it is not trivial if you start with Unity, it leaves shitsta^h^h^h^h^h^h artifacts that screw up better desktops. since they're focusing on their tabletly UI and not better desktops, better to change the underlying distro too.

  14. Re:Neutral Gear on Driver Trapped In Speeding Car At 125 Mph · · Score: 1

    if you do have traditional "key", you can actually turn off the engine without putting key in "lock" position. only a pansy needs power assist for either breaking or steer, it's a convenience not a necessity

    are you some kind of wuss that you can't deal with a car with no power assist? that was the norm for most of my life, and it's happened I've lost power steering belt while driving more recent cars, so had to steer and parallel park..no big deal.

  16. Re:It's called the key on Driver Trapped In Speeding Car At 125 Mph · · Score: 1

    but overheated brakes don't do much; if a person applies normal braking force for too long before putting all their weight on the pedal it's a different story. People like me from era of no power steering or brakes being the norm probably won't have as much trouble as the "recently born".

    For that matter, I'm not afraid to kill engine and deal with steering with no power; I've had the power steering belt brake and went for a few days parallel parking and whatnot with no assist. might put out today's young'uns though
