Cancer rates near Chernobyl did not stay at average. Cancers of the throat and especially thyroid suddenly became very common for quite a few years in the surrounding areas, as did birth problems (premature, miscarriage, defects).
And does the WHO estimate include the 50% of the liquidators who cleaned it up who are now dead? And the other 50% who are now crippled old men as they turn 45 and 50?
WHO report is about those 170K workers, and in fact they were able to only (you can almost feel the sadness of the person writing it, sadness that people didnt die like it was predicted) account for average cancer rates (0.5% leukemia, etc).
To be fair, since March 2011 there has been a lot of catastrophic articles about "what if a meltdown?" (there was a meltdown) "what if another earthquakes?" (there has been a lot of 7+ aftershocks not far from Fukushima). As of today, while the situation is bad, it stays far from the cataclysmic future that was predicted in March/April 2011.
There has been a ton of scientific publications predicting deaths in thousands (official WHO predicted minimum 4000) in 1986 after Chernobyl. Turns out people didnt die en masse, in fact cancer levels stayed at a global average level.
'The amount of Cesium 137 in the fuel rods at Fukushima Daiichi is the equivalent of 85 Chernobyls.,,If a big earthquake happens before that fuel is gone there will be global environmental catastrophe with many deaths...
you mean 85 x 50 = ~4000 people will die? This is LESS than deaths from vehicle accidents in Japan.. EVERY YEAR. I dont see anyone banning cars, but OH NOES EVUL NUCULAR ENERGY lets ban it!117one
Couldn't agree more. One solution, as HD space increases, will be to have automatic backup into other portions of the drive. And how soon until we have 10PB flash drives?
Most people who believe in God/god(s) also don't believe in God/god(s). It's just the atheists are more thorough in their disbelief.
Christians/Muslims/Jews don't believe in Odin, Zeus, Ra or Shiva. Atheists don't either, they just add one more god to the list of gods they don't believe in. Which, if you think about it what's the difference in not believing in 1000 vs 1001 gods. If the first thousand don't exist, why would you believe in the thousand and first.
WAT? Most people (not counting priests obviously) dont fuck children. Some do. Whats the difference between not fucking 1 billion children vs 1,000,000,001 children?
Is this the same country that sued scientists over not predicting natural disasters last year? Who gets sued if / when the Volcano erupts (regardless of the cause- natural or drilling)?
No, they sued a person responsible for warning people in case there are signs of trouble, they sued him because he went in front of cameras and told people to IGNORE earthquakes because there was NO WAY a big one was coming, and on the next day there were 150 dead people, people that would exit their homes when earth started to shake like they used to for years if they didnt listen to that retarded "scientist".
Private swarms really don't do much for resolving the issues of trust on a large scale. Causing one's enemy to fragment is what the Russian technique does.
Sounds like Blotto game. Guess what happens when stronger opponent decides to multiply fronts.
What do you think is happening any time someone gets killed by disease?
No. What do you think is happening any time someone is being kept alive by 'miracles of modern medicine'? Take for example 22 week premature babies born with all kinds of disabilities and kept alive because ITS ALIVE IM PRO LIFE DATS WHAT JESUS WOULD DO YO.
The regulatory stuff was cleaned up within a couple weeks of them saying they needed to do it, I believe. They needed to do the regulatory stuff because they ended up selling 100k units, not their anticipated close to 10k developer units - which wouldn't have needed the certs.
Stop spreading lies. So far they sold ~5K units and distributors are still "registering interest" instead of selling. Orders (that turned out to be preorders) made an HOUR after the launch are still not fulfilled (mine was pushed from June to August again...).
Not to mention how many actually DO OC their chips now? 2%? 3%? if it reached even 5% frankly I would be amazed.
Intel wouldn't be actively fighting OC in his products if it was only 2-3%. 775 socket was the last one that allowed you to OC the shit out of every cpu you put in it (Im typing this from C2D 2.4@4GHz, Celeron 420 1.6@3GHz before that). Basically almost 100% more cpu with few bios changes, a lot more fps in games (especially on weaker cpus). It used to be possible to buy $25-40 cpu and OC to $100-150 performance level.
This time has passed with new sockets. Now Intel has OC tax, OC'able CPUs start at $200 and are targeted at people someone described few posts above (OCing to grow epenis).
OC used to let you buy cheap hardware, now its for posers.
A problem set, a homework and at least 4.5 hours worth of video without even looking at the suggested texts that were outlined in the first set of videos - and that was one course (Algos).
Protip: You dont need to sit through the lectures like your in the class. Upload them to your phone/ipod/ipad/laptop and watch when you are doing something or even listen to them in the car. Personally I watch them on one monitor _while playing World of Tanks_ on the other:o. 5 courses in parallel so far, passing all problem sets at >80% points.
WORST product launch ever. I just hope thats the end of rasppi drama and there wont be any more hurdles (for example lack of mpeg4 hardware acceleration, lack of camera interface documentation and so on)
This is a £16 computer intended for education, I'd be very surprised if it has either initially. If that surprises you or upsets you, perhaps you shouldn't be trying to order a £16 computer.
Perhaps if it doesnt have those Rasppi foundation should stop claiming it does? At this point I treat everything they announce as a wishful thinking full of omissions at best and lie at worst.

No he wasnt, he was just misunderstood.

flash? never

As this is a service, I would be surprised if their code isn't 99.99% FLOSS software anyway.
I wouldnt be surprised if they properly licensed official uTorrent library :)

Not to mention TFA left out the little fact that the man has cancer
30% of population will have cancer at some point, so what?
They have va_cum cleaners in XXX industry.
What distinguishes Android and iOS is that there's a business model where lots of people get paid.
Are you sure? For me the thing that distinguishes those two is a 100ms Input lag, frame drops in UI operations and over 200ms audio lag.
Their production line is written in Java.
Of course if the baby's parents don't have medical insurance then it's different. I suppose Jesus wanted that baby right away! Hallelujah!

Hardly narrowing. There are better ways for translating flat objects into 3D ones and google is probably already implementing one of them.
