  1. Won't happen, the only plausible reaction, proton beryllium-11, takes 10 times the ion energies of DT

  2. The guns they have won't magically stop working. Those will be good for over 80 years. How many years supply of ammo do you suppose they have? ever hear of reloading? Bullets, smokeless powder and primers are readily made from materials abundant in the middle east (and everywhere else)

  3. A Orion type craft powered by nuclear bombs could go over 10 percent C, what's the problem?

    85 percent light speed gets you 2 to 1 time passage. 99% C gives 7 to 1

  5. Re:blame windows not amd on AMD Sued Over Allegedly Misleading Bulldozer Core Count · · Score: 1

    both AMD and Intel have their specs publicly known, and moreover there are benchmarks that actually do a good job of pointing out those architectural differences. I'll bet you three-quarters of the public don't buy on any of that, they buy a whole system for a certain price...heck even at one major chain they usually don't even put the amount of RAM on the description cards! You're saying the kind of numb-from-the-neck-up buying public should have some concern and worry over marketing hype, distortion, and buzzwords that are blasted at them? nah, fuck 'em. anyone who wants to do real research, even a ten year old kid, has the truth out there for the taking.

    That's fine, as most serious computing is not done with FPU at all.

    False, there are legal requirements for e-signing that cannot be met by merely scanning and emailing. Look up the facts before vomiting bad legal advice

  9. You are so funny, all those things you mention exist in the libraries of major scripting languages with constructs made in pure C

    You're making an argument for why those that love needless complexity shouldn't be allowed to design languages

    You are not considering the situation where countries are forced to compete either with slavery or workers who have very harsh and unsafe conditions. Business should not be done with such places, yet the USA snubbed good ally to do business with China, for example

    Come to think of it maybe wikipedia should be filled with instructions to cause terrorists and crooks blow themselves up trying to make something bad. Ha! Good people can take organic chemistry courses and such.

  16. nonsense, plenty of large complex projects are written in C. Open source kernels or apache for example. Any C++ data structure or algorithm has a fairly straightforward C equivalent, "objects" in pure C are easy. No real reason to use C++ for anything, just introduces difficulty in debugging and maintenance.

    Yeah, 20 years experience in c++ development here

    There are things that are generally true, even if a small percentage of cases are exceptions.
