Nonsense, from founding fathers onward the U.S. was into science and applied science (engineering and technology). How about some names: Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Rush, David Rittenhouse, Charles Peale, Thomas Edison
How about immigrants that continued their work in science here? Joseph Priestly, Alexander Graham Bell, Vladimir Zworykin, Nikola Tesla, Charles Steinmetz, all before WW II.
heavy Christian influence in the building of culture there, from first penal colony chaplain Richard Johnson (with his contribution to education of children) onward.
your reasoning is patently false. there would have been no huge body of water to be suddenly released without the dam, less would have died.
the truth is a power generating structure failed, and almost 200,000 died. hydroelectric technology has therefore been far more dangerous than nuclear power. More people have been killed by hydro dam failures than all nuclear endeavors of man even including nuclear warfare, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Your nuclear-phobia is irrational in the extreme.
You are committing the error of stereotyping. Plenty of people call themselves "Christian" who take certain ideas from the Bible and from their religious tradition to be a basis for treating others well, helping others, being honest, hardworking, creative, etc. For that matter, plenty of Jewish and Muslim people do the same thing, even though they consider the writings of their religions to be mix entertaining stories and also to contain some philosophy on how to live.
Many other countries in the world have heavy religious influence in their founding or building of their culture. name one that doesn't.
The USA still leads in many areas of science. The exploration of space by probes is one such area, those recent discoveries of earth-sized and habitable zone planets, for example
I am not talking about someone who is incapacitated, nor someone who finds themselves thrown out of a job. I'm talking about the willfully lazy who refuse to work because the state pays them to be so, and I have plenty more derogatory terms for such parasites. Most workers in first world countries are not exploited, but most of those who have never worked are the willfully lazy.
the body count for "clean" hydro power goes into hundreds of thousands because of dam failures, look it up. Here's just ONE to get you started....
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banqiao_Dam
get real, body count from hydroelectric dam failures goes into the hundreds of thousands. the Banqiao Reservoir Dam failure killed 171,000. Let's see you do similar analysis for percentage of hydro dam failures AND body count.
The 19th century looms aren't that impressive, card has hole to either allow or block a hook. To make Babbage engine you need long gear trains with very tight tolerances, totally out of the question
there has in the past been restrictions on availability of advanced chips; Russia doesn't want to have their growth crimped by foreign trade restrictions, military export restrictions, etc.
but it's infested. I think Russia should take up a collection to fund the ICBM to de-louse the place with a nice clean airburst. the plants will come back
those are not australia's waters. australia's grandiose claims are not accepted by the international community. there is no poaching, just hunting in international waters.
foremost it's British slang for a whore's (oh, excuse me, Sex Worker's) customer, what we'd call a "John" in the U.S. the "sucker" use comes from someone who's getting fucked over....
guess again, you'll soon not be so lucky. ask goatse man about the Large Green Men's orientation. I'd suggest a regimen of flexibility exercises starting with baseball bats and ending with fire hydrant squatting.
Santa Claus operates entirely within the realm of natural means known for thousands of years.
CM: Yeah! And then, when they flied across da sky, they used ta come down to places like, oh, Chicago, L.A., Nueva York and Pacoima and all those places, y'know, and then land on top of people's roofs and then 'ol Santa Claus would make himself real small, y'know, like, a real small guy, and he'd come down da chimney and then he would give you all da stuff that he made, man. And...dig this, man...he did it all in one night, man!
TC: Hey, just a minute, man. Now, how'd he do that, man?
CM: Oh, well, man, he took da freeway. How else, man?
TC: No, man. No, man, how'd he do all that other stuff, man? Like, how'd he make himself small, man. And, how'd he, like, how'd he get the reindeer off the ground, man?
CM: Oh, well, man, he had some magic dust, man.
TC: Some magic dust?
CM: Yeah, magic dust, y'know? He used ta give a little bit to da reindeer, a little bit to Santa Claus, a little bit more for Santa Claus, a little bit more...
TC: And this would get the reindeer off, man?
CM: Aw, got 'em off, man? Are you kidding, man? They flew all da way around da world, man!
the people who immerse themselves in social media, who believe rumors without question, who only worry about other's opinions and so are easily swayed, are just dumber than sack of shit regardless of how high their IQ. Over half the populace is like that, very scary
that fluffy pamphlet is not a design spec (which as nuclear engineer I can assure you would take more bookshelves than you have at home). However you are misunderstanding its words, it speaks of shutdown temperature reached after 96 hours via passive cooling, but that passive cooling requires human intervention after 72 hours by pumping from other on site tanks. The reactor will require cooling for weeks (and hence topping off of that supply tank) or it will do the bad thing that any gen ii reactor would do without adequate heat removal.
yes, D-0 mainly used compute farms at the time. Those two servers were NOT the main experimental data processing systems of D0 and are NOT in any sense "SGI mainframes" with their 8 CPU. The ridiculous point I was replying to was that the lab computing division only allowed a vendor and a single "sgi mainframe" to be used. several vendors systems made up the compute farms that processed experimental data, and by the time your linked article was published that included x86 PC farm.

how many victims of nuclear reactor accidents will? may be zero for all we know, the known problems are cancers, most of those non-fatal

confiscating wealth to support the willfully lazy, that's sucking a fellow human being dry.
there has in the past been restrictions on availability of advanced chips; Russia doesn't want to have their growth crimped by foreign trade restrictions, military export restrictions, etc.
we can only judge Russia by what they produce. Outside of weapons systems where is their leadership in innovation and execution?
but it's infested. I think Russia should take up a collection to fund the ICBM to de-louse the place with a nice clean airburst. the plants will come back
those of us who know better would prefer a clean linear architecture rather than the screwy mishmash of x86. we don't care if x86 bloatware runs
