Yeah, so now the blackhats can send exe's in emails but when I want to send an app i've discussed to a relative the stupid fucking email co's including email.com and gmail say I can't send a fucking exe... WTF! My fucking email - my fucking choice, unbelievable that they would censor my emails in such a casual manner.
For instance, Iran has been training and supplying people to fight in Iraq against US troops.
This is just propaganda BS, I've seen stories like this ripped to pieces. Think about it, Iran was at war with Iraq just a couple of decades ago, it's highly unlikely they'd be helping out the same people after 500,000 to 1,000,000 Iranians died fighting them.

Modern large digital TVs make for great monitors, throw in pc + a good wireless keyboard and a gaming mouse and you've got a gaming system that also good for browsing the web, watching youtube etc etc, beats the socks off of any console.

I read the article you linked carefully and it said using recycled paper is less toxic. The main thrust of the article was not that recycling is bad, but that it is more important to reduce consumption and re-use where possible, recycling is still better than not recycling.
There seems to be a lot of religious intolerance on Slashdot, I'm not religious myself but respect the right of other to believe what they wish as long as it causes no harm (admittedly debatable).
I have a good doctor, intelligent and always concentrating about what I put into my body and how I treat it before suggesting any drugs (he has never suggested drugs yet!), I don't know if he is Muslim but I would definitely stick with him regardless as he is the best out of the half a dozen doctors I've had.
If these Muslims can pass the exams and understand the necessary sciences and practice good doctorship (!'good medicine' - a chemical for every ail?), then fair enough that they don't wish to see the lecture of a self-proclaimed 'militant atheist' who said "let's all stop being so damned respectful" [of religion] and that is in context.
That's an absurd figure approx 20+ times too high. Have a look at your electricity bill. The figure doesn't need to be estimated, the energy Co's & gov't will know exact figures.
The above show the average house using approx 14KWh per day (UK), by switching to more energy efficient products, this could be closer to 10kWh per day. So by your figure of 5KWh/day per person we could be running Britain from solar power completely.... WOW!!!!!
Did I say that? I said look at my previous posts on this because I can't be arsed to repeat myself and there are many links and sources and I've already posted > dozen times with substantial arguments.
I have savings, I'd happily invest in wind power, I already invest my money in an ecological fund and it's beaten the market.
Read my other posts, storage is not a problem it's an oversight, there are many energy storage solutions, they just need investment and implementation.
Any new technology costs more to begin with, the costs are dropping and in a decade or two and the right investment, renewables will be as cheap as coal.
The costs of nuclear in the UK are heavily subsidised, perhaps more than wind.
You quoted a blog which has figures pulled from some guys arse, seriously he excludes many potential deaths including mining deaths for nuclear, I'll bet yellow-cake isn't mined safely everywhere.
Estimates of Chernobyl deaths vary widely, according to who is counting; WHO estimated 47-212 immediate deaths, and 4000-9000 excess cancers. Greenpeace estimated 270,000 excess cancers, of which 93,000 would be fatal. IPPNW expects 50,000 cancers , 10,000 deformities, and 5,000 infant deaths. The Ukranian health minister estimates that 2.4 million Ukrainians have health problems of some kind as a result of Chernobyl.
Wind power does not cause more deaths than nuclear and if you include the psychological harm done to the victims of cancer and those victims families it is far far worse.
And read my other posts, it's not just about money and it's not just about numbers of people dying. It's about not having millions of people have to worry about the nasty shit that is nuclear power and the waste from it. Humans have shown time and time again they can't handle this stuff responsibly, Italian crooks were recently found to have been dumping nuclear waste illegally since the 1980s. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioactive_waste_dumping_by_the_'Ndrangheta
but we still need to be increasing nuclear power. Since world wide power from coal is around 50% of the electric production, with demand growing, their is no way renewable can be realistically implemented to replace nuclear and coal within 20 years,
Whilst we may not be able to replace all non-renewables within 20 years, we can certainly phase out some of the nuclear power during that time and don't need any more, renewables can take up the slack and more.
Renewables are approaching price parity with other energy supply methods, many of the figures thrown around are out of date.
I guarantee you it meant something to those millions of people (including myself and my family) who had the nuclear crap falling on there heads and having to avoid foods because some country > thousand miles away fucked up.
Humans will then be responsible for not maintaining the integrity of the fail-safes or some idiot will decide to test the all, or some lunatic will sabotage them etc etc etc.
You don't blame nuclear power for bad politics.
You can most certainly see this as a reason not to have nuclear power though - corrupt politicians and greedy corporations are not in short supply.
There are techniques like phytoremediation and bioremediation which can potentially remove the Cesium using plants and have the land safe again in relatively short time.
There's no way that is end-to-end costs, a substantial portion of the nuclear costs are in the decommissioning.
A British Wind Energy Association report gives an average generation cost of onshore wind power of around 3.2 pence (between US 5 and 6 cents) per kWÂh (2005).
Between 5 and 6 cents, not 40 cents (very old tech?), your figures are from where?
Close by? Denmark sells some of it's excess wind generated electricity to Sweden, who use hydro to store the energy and re-sell later, that's hardly 'close by'.
I never said it was feasible everywhere, but often alternatives like solar, tidal, wave, thermal, hydro are feasible.
Fly-wheels where probably the ones with 90%+ efficiency, 75% is pretty good, these technologies have some way to go, we haven't even started using them yet but the point is that they are there and we just need to start using them instead of repeating the coal and nuclear industries mantra of renewables are no good because they are intermittent energy sources, a problem with many solutions waiting.
Where are you going to put all the waste? What about terrorism, rogue govts, revolutions, natural disasters, incompetent politicians and greedy negligent subcontractors.
These problems have not been solved yet and never will be, when politicians stop being corrupt greedy fuckers in cahoots with negligent cost cutting corporations who don't give a shit about anything other than lining their own pockets, then and only then will nuclear be safe.

You have something against simply arresting people? you think all criminals should simply be shot instead!!!!

Funny your post describes how the accidents all have nothing in common and then points out that they are all due to human error.
Tell me, how do you propose to choose these amazing infallible humans who don't have human error?
In the UK afaik it's cheaper.
Overall, onshore wind is cheaper / same as nuclear:
