You somehow believe this was the worst year for tornadoes, or even more laughable that this imaginary peak was caused by global warming? Get a clue, get some facts. Most fatalities in U.S. by tornadoes was in 1925, most tornadoes was in 1953, the most tornadoes in a short period of time was in 1974 (184 in 16 hours with 330 dead). There always some Al-Gore type alarmist who after every interesting weather event wails, *this is due to global warming!*. What a load of ignorant bullshit.
all candian reactors are CANDU design and are dumping tritium into the great lakes and elsewhere. In no way should the U.S. emulate Canada's reactors, designed by and for beer-addled Canucks
U.S. nuclear workers have LOWER than average incidence of cancer deaths and heart deaths, please provide the sources for your imagining that it is higher for them. It's called the "healthy worker effect", and having worked in nuclear plants they take safety much more seriously than other industrial plants.
The law is made by evil power and money grubbing scum in the back pockets of corporations. Your Rule of Law is evil oligarchs enslaving people. I reject your notion that all law is something to be respected and adhered.
Yes, any competent farmer will tell you we can grow crops without laboratory GM technology. Now, without fertilizers and pesticides, that's another matter.
They are supplying an unnecessary, poisonous product (research the organ damage in rats caused by Monsanto corn, for instance) in lieu of proper food. Proper farming can produce the same yields as GM crops without the risks and without allowing a cartel to control the food supply
why small? safe thorium reactors can be big and centralized and guarded. Many little ones are still an attractive nuisance for terrorists to make impromptu dirty bombs. With the right construction equipment can quickly dig next to one in minutes and apply high explosives)
you can't replace tens of gigawatts of nuclear power with wind and solar, energy density is far too low. Have you ever looked at the power output of a large wind farm and compared it to the smallest nuclear power plant?
supporting and investing in a company that steals and corrupts government and wastes taxpayers money is "being innocent"? better reset your values, pal. They *should* lose their stocks, the employees *should* lose their jobs so they can work somewhere else
Yes, a company that steals and corrupts should be put out of business; and people should not work for them. Other companies will fill the void and those people can work for them.
I think the submitter of this article is a little unclear on the concept of what companies like Monsanto are trying to do, they are trying to control the food supply, to get a "piece of the action" like a Mafia every time you take a bite of food, and no one who doesn't pay them will have food. They are evil, and this little incident is nothing compared to what should be done to those parasites on humanity. Think of Monsanto and their ilk as the MIAA/RIAA of food.
if the executives or owners know about it, why not convict them of organized crime, throw them in prison, liquidate the company? This would be great not only at the state level but federal government. We could take out the military-industrial complex and banking cartel, this is how those dirtbag operate with our lawmakers in their pockets.
I sell a low cost replacement for this 128 qubit computer, it is 128 boxes for cats. Cats not included, check your local newspaper for "free to a good home" listing in the Pets section. The only worry is beating the python owners to there free food source.
Those whom obsess over tiny punctuation and spelling errors can be useful and productive to other humans in many roles: cut up for chum; test subjects for exposure limits to radiation, carcinogens, biohazards; ballast, low-cost substitute for ballistic gelatin, biofuel, beneficial mulch for fungus farms.....the list goes on and on.
please provide a list of all the supercomputer clusters running Debian in this world? I know the weather services in the Phiippines and Germany operate a Debian cluster for forecasting, but are there any others? The cluster Sysadmins of the world seem to go with RedHat or derived
the repos are kept full of properly debugged and time-tested software. basing a project on bleed-edge shaky things is fine for the hobbyist, but stability is more important when spending millions of dollars on something that will take over a year to build anyway. Newest isn't always best.
those that make clusters have contributed to RedHat primarily. While not my favorite distribution, RedHat is for more than just business, it can be tailored to everything from little appliances to mainframes to supercomputing clusters

many human cultures have existed in isolation for centuries without "withering and dying"; you made that up

the electronics in U.S. military craft are EMP hardened. the worst thing you can do to a reactor by frying out controls is trip it off-line.

absurd, those types of reactors can't make "fallout"

how about if I cut myself *after* I forget an important date. Have to train and shape the neural network, after all.
he's in a superposition of happy and sad states within the living state, but in the dead state he doesn't give a shit.

the cause of most deaths is failure of the natural pumping machine; how are you going to avoid relying on that thing?

Scientific Linux still hasn't put out the 5.6 release, they instead went for the 6.0, while RedHat is at 6.1 because 6.0 is so very buggy.
