Unless, you are working there or eating the local food or water, the risks from Fukushima are small, BUT.... Who wants leukemia or thyroid cancer?
Say the risks are 1:100,000, then 37 people will get cancer in LA, alone. Although the odds are quite low, someone will be the statistic, and it will never be blamed on the source because that is how money works.
I have read US reports and findings that that type of reactor will melt down about the time that they now admit that did. Did they think that their reactor was magical?
Sitting at home in your livingroom and one trip to wikipedia, you had all the information you needed to know when the reactor's melted down. The buildings exploded from the hydrogen produced from the breakdown of the cladding of the fuel and radiolysys, both of which show that the fuel was melting. Do you actually think that the engineers did not know this?
I think that it is easier to accept that they made mistakes, rather than admit that they lied.
Both Unity and Gnome 3 have both taken steps that degraded usability for the sake of looks.
Gnome 3: You can't log off, as if we were using a tablet and had unlimited resources. Having more than one window open is hard. The windows are not side aware because that's what you have in a tablet. If it weren't for the hot corner, it would take one more mouseclick to do almost everything; now you must constantly take trips to the screen corner. Clicking on a minimize/maximize button is faster than double-clicking on the menu bar. There is no parent/child organization of programs by type; there is no organization period, so the user has to type in multiple searches.
Unity: Ubuntu with Unity's footprint is almost twice that of Gnome 2, and for what? Menubars are hidden for the sake of appearance. Unity is subversive to Gnome, on which it depends; this is a suicide attempt. Please, everyone do not use Unity, just because a marketing person puts it on a disk doesn't mean that you have to use it.
Both Unity and Gnome have taken steps to disempower the user for the sake of looks and constricting the users actions all to force a method of using the computer which is not sound.
U.S. Research modeled those reactors, finding that they would melt down something like 16 hours after a coolant failure. In Japan, they lied about the extent of the accident, and needlessly endangering people's lives.
Up front, it was evident that the explosions were from fuel cladding degradation and radiolysis from fuel damage, and they lied. What is it about nuclear power that makes people lie so readily?
I still suspect that the nitrogen injection was not to prevent an explosion, as I find it dubious that nitrogen would prevent an explosion whereas the radiolsys would also supply oxygen as well as fuel for the explosion, but in reality, the nitrogen was to help put out the many nuclear fuel fires they had, just like the Windscale fire.
After posting my Die Unity Die comment, I've been looking at other distros. I left Fedora some years ago, and I think that I am going to leave Ubuntu. It's like as soon as Mark Shuttleworth left, it went bad. What remains is a businessperson who pushed the commercial side of things.
I'm looking at Mint, but I like apt. I tried Debian, but video drivers are a mess, and the sudoers is just a neeedless PITA on a single-user use of a Linux.
Please, someone pick up the torch for Ubuntu seems to have dropped it.
Ubuntu has stripped away and hidden key user functionality for the sake of looks. The UI hides key menus, such as: File, Edit... in Nautilus, so that those menus are invisible. Users cannot even make launcher icons without the command line!
Unity attempts to replace Gnome with something else which cannot function without Gnome's libraries. At the same time if Gnome desktop is not used, and maintained, then that will die.
Using Unity is like a shiny turd that you cut your hands on.
I recommend that if Ubuntu does not rid their distro of Unity, then I suggest that it be boycotted.
Gnome turning its back on usability. They are making a bimbo GUI that looks good, emulating Mac's, but time after time, they are making style sacrifices usability for style. While it might look clean, there they are putting more and more mouse clicks between the user and their documents.
We don't need a program driven GUI; we work with file and documents. We always work with files and documents. Those who believe that things should be program driven -- sell programs for a living.
They should center on Gnome and a file manager, perhaps still nautilus, which never gets enough attention or bugfixes. Gnome just works on what gets people's attention, but does not work on the basics.
Gnome should focus on modularity and devote more time on their core functions. Presently Gnomes "improvements" come from Rojin-z program additions, which have to be maintained and integrated. Just make a GUI, will you!
Some years ago, I made a donation to Gnome. I don't see that ever happening again. I want the current leadership removed, and I think that they should start listening to users. Until then xfce would seem like my next desktop.
What's the matter with the mozilla devs? Why must users tout broken and useless crap in their browser? How much money are they getting paid NOT to disallow users from uninstalling crap from their computer. WTF.
As a rational person, there's no way Carl Sagan would want his series shown on Fox, a network ran by republican fascists, who don't give a damn about a truth such a science.
People have signed petitions for the Thief Dark Project code, which is eleven years old, and Eidos still has not helped Thief's community continue the legacy of their games.
Internet anonymity is teaching us things about people. In the case of facebook representative, you have a person saying the things that he needs for his company to be profitable. I suggest that we do not let facebook's profits interfere with the human race growing up as a whole.
Wow! I can do exactly what I had been doing on my old local machine, on a underpowered machine, and I can pay someone for it! I can pay money the same functionality I could otherwise get free in Libreoffice. Together we can make a centralization of data, creating single points of failure, making sure that we create monopolies along the way, and do you know what else? We'll slow the internet down to a crawl with traffic from processing that should be locally, until the day comes when we get hacked by some government that wants to finish us off before taking us over.
This is another dark chapter of the erosion of Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
The terrorists won, and their adversaries aren't much better. We are heading into a fasiost state people. From Wikipedia: Fascism (play/fæzm/) is a radical, authoritarian nationalist political ideology.[1][2] Fascists advocate the creation of a totalitarian single-party state that seeks the mass mobilization of a nation through indoctrination, physical education, and family policy including eugenics.[3] Fascists seek to purge forces, ideas, people, and systems deemed to be the cause of decadence and degeneration and produce their nation's rebirth based on commitment to the national community based on organic unity where individuals are bound together by suprapersonal connections of ancestry, culture, and blood.[4] Fascists believe that a nation requires strong leadership, singular collective identity, and the will and ability to commit violence and wage war in order to keep the nation strong.[5] Fascist governments forbid and suppress opposition to the state.[6]
A first warning sign would be that you are making assessments about all society about a holiday. A second warning sign is, when you are on facebook, or whatever commercial social networking site you are on an start saying bad things about chatrooms, webboards, (and email) that really do the heavy lifting of the internet communication.
One of the main things I look for in games in playtime and re-playability. People are just looking for excuses to shortchange the customer and not provide value.

Just because they serve it up doesn't mean you have to eat it.
Unity works to whither Gnome, which is bad for the Linux community. The user interface is terrible Gnome 3 is better but not perfect.
And for what? A User interface very few people want?
Unity: A mistake not admitted.
