Yes, it's been much hotter and much colder in the relatively recent past, ocean levels have been rising since the last ice age, and mody the antarctic is cooling since the 1970s while the focus is on areas that are warming.
That *might* be true, that the long term trend will be continued warming, but we'll have to wait to have had proof. But you are accepting without proof that increasing carbon dioxide concentration automatically means long term warming. The dominant greenhouse gas on earth isn't CO2, and long term insolation may dominate over greenhouse gas effects. In the fossil record large CO2 rise comes after large temperature rise as effect not cause.
that is false, if you buy a $600 laboratory grade mercury thermometer (yes, they exist and yes I've had to use them), they come with a paper graph of correction factors that range all over from - 0.5 to 0.5 degrees or more over the thermometer;s range. Thus your belief that lip blown hand shaped thermometers could possibly have accuracy of tenths of a digit over there range is utter rubbish.
I"ll disagree, 2005 to 2010 warming essentially stopped, as differences were in the realm of statistical noise. Except for 2008, the coolest year since 2000.
that is false, temperature rise stopped, the differences over 2005 to 2010 according to NASA were less than 0.03 degrees C, in the realm of noise (ignore the agenda driven nonsense pumped out by the propaganda organ known as CRU):
in fact, I and you and other taxpayers helped build the plant 35 miles to the west of me (we have prevailing westerlies). I had no say in the safety systems. Please tell me again the total number dead and maimed from U.S. civilian nuclear power plants again? zero and zero.
nuclear is not Italy's primary source of energy by a long shot, 16% of electrical, and they deal with two countries for that (France and Slovakia). Looks like good risk mitigation with variety of supplies to me
The "reactor chamber", you mean the steel pressure vessel? Some of the fuel melted through the pressure vessel and went to floor of containment vessel, as designed. Breaches in containment were made by the hydrogen explosions. If you look at diagram the weak points are plumbing including that quaint suppression pool.
big deal, your linked story says they may have halted the cooling system manually a few times before the Tsunami hit. that can be done without harm if duration less than about two hours.
hollywood nonsense. have you actually *seen* the five megawatt gensets those reactors use? have you seen the kind of fifty foot tall reinforced concrete buildings they are planted in about 35 feet off the ground? (i've worked in them, behind waterproof doors at the plants I was at, by the way) no tornado is carrying them anywhere, and no terrorist is going to speed through the staggered barriers and hairpin turns and other nasty surprises, or past the submachine gun toting guards, etc. etc.
the slashdot developers are even more impressive, they managed to have the bugginess, bloat, loss of functionality of.NET without a single line of.NET or de Icaza mono crap, though there are probably more than two of them if we count the non-sober ones.
the way most nuclear power is produced is not progressive, uranium will run out in decades. The smart way to do nuclear fission power leaves us with with a few thousand year's supply of fuel (not uranium), and moreover would let us use all the current spent fuel as a gold mine of fuel to extract many times the energy we got and also would leave no long-term dangerous isotopes. For any country not into nuclear power, which includes Italy, the smart thing is to wait 15-20 years while the nations that are aggressively pursuing the smart nuclear power (India, China, Korea) perfect the systems, there are plenty of alternatives for a country forced to import its power due to lack of resources.
Fallacy, italy has to import their energy no matter the source. If they were nuclear, they'd be importing nuclear fuel. Italy is energy-resource scarce so their best course is to have a diversity of imports from many countries, *which they do*
In a real way, fear of nuclear power caused Fukushima. Not true at all, had they located their backup power high in the air like the Gen II plants I've worked, everything would have been fine. Laziness, greed, incompetence caused Fukushima. And, were they trained properly by the classic nuclear engineering texts such as I have on my shelf, they should recognized the signs of melting fueld, and have just let the fuel melt into containment system without pouring in water. Well known there comes a point when hot fuel cracks the water and causes explosion that can burst containment in that type of reactor.
Italy doesn't have the natural resources for energy independence by any means whatsoever. So they do things like invest in French and Slovak reactor plants, and import energy. Only realistic solution for them.
so what? it's less risky for Italians to have it that way, and the the french who like nuclear can assume the risks and make money for doing so. I pay people to do dangerous things for me (like putting shingles on my roof), they take the care to have safety equipment, training, insurance, etc. You do the same thing. Win-win all around.
do you live in a state with electronic tolling? how do you not see the the device you are required to have fastened to your windshield if you wish to use automatic toll paying? this is similar thing, a "border card" required for vehicles dual licensed in mainland / hong kong
Unity might be such a reason, but for browser change he's talking about a time frame past the 12.04 LTS release, more than a year from now. Chrome will be different then. And installing Firefox or most any other browser than is pretty easy to slap into Ubuntu for anyone who doesn't like Chrome. unlike doing desktop changes which does cause issues.
sure, you can just go to Miguel's de Icaza's new company Xamarin and hire them as consultants to write Mono to whatever.NET version you need, for a nominal fee

again, look at a good diagram of the plant, the concrete is quite thick under the pressure vessel for reasons of containing a meltdown.
"Burst" means broken, not containing, breached.

"just physics", no you would have to specify an intensity and duration of a quake. then we can talk about physics for a specific plant design

I totally agree, but items #1 - #3 have been a failure
yes, for all two of them, including the one looking for work in this recession
