    extradition for those who didn't infringe copyright but merely had links to alleged copyright infringers? wow, how meta

  3. well, they didn't actually do that, they captured a guy who hosted links to copyright infringers. which is surely just as bad as pulling the trigger on Oswald's rifle

  4. by what brain fart did you arrive at that conclusion from DOJ bragging about arrest of a guy who was NOT hosting any infringing content on any of his websites?

    entertainment cartel scum with gov thugs in their pocket is all this is

  6. Survey meters in the nuke industry don't work by geiger tube, those become saturated and then give a very LOW reading as the tube needs recovery time after a discharge - dangerously misleading! The conversion of counts to milirem depend on energy and type of particle and sensitivity of tube type but roughly for "common" situations might be 1000 counts/minute = milliREM/Hour. So no geiger is going to detect say the 2.5 REM/ Hour that in one hour puts you over the federal limit for a nuke worker's entire YEAR, it would just saturate since that's over 13 million counts per minute

    The usual survey meters use ion chambers or scintillation, the ion chamber with high range get into the nuclear disaster/war fallout range of several to thousands of REM per hour. Geiger can't do that.

    geigers are used for "contamination monitors", in other words radioactive dust or dirt on you that you wouldn't want to ingest

    50 percent of experts agreed with that. The other 50 percent were too busy publishing studies to answer the survey.

  8. nope, not in the nuclear power industry. they just call it a "radiation detector". Its range is far too limited to be survey meter. five counts per second usually is considered a micro Sievert per hour.

  11. geiger counters are for prospecting uranium or finding contaminated dust on yourself. what you want is a survey meter. Your cell phone will fail at about 5 thousand rad, your body at about a fifth of that in chronic dose.

    Wrong, we have not had manned exploration of another world for over four decades. Almost all tech for the space program was developed for unmanned flights, before and after the moon program.

    The argument for manned space flight at this point in time is an idiotic one, only in the far future could there ever be any kind of benefit. The way we support human life at the present is too primative, prolonged habitation of any space craft or the ISS causes massive damage to the human body. It's not the right way
