Do you have any idea how much the Fukushima accident is going to cost?
The water decontamination alone will cost $500,000,000
What it comes down to is this: 1.) Private companies, and even some small countries cannot afford the clean up a nuclear disaster. 2.) The privatization of profit, and the making of dept public is the essence of a banana republic, not a sophisticated government situation. 3.) Nuclear power is a high-profit but also a high risk endeavor. 4.) Nuclear power is only sustainable for another few decades anyway, so
Why pee in your own swimming pool, if it's going to be for keeps?
As I been watching the Fukishima events happen, one of two things are apparent. 1.) I can know more about nuclear reactors than the people on the site. 2.) The people on the site have been lying or defiantly optimistic.
I'm going with number 2, suggesting that they are they have not been honest nor accurate.
Fact 1:The hydrogen gas was that blew up the buildings was either radiolysis or damaged zirconium cladding; neither of which suggests an intact core. Fact 2:The injection of water without an equal mass of steam, suggests holes. Fact 3: If damaged fuel melted, it would have pooled at the bottom of the hemispherical reactor vessel, where it would clump together and not apart as they suggested. Fact 4: The injection of nitrogen is keeping the fuel from burning, again.
Do you remember the blue flashes people saw over the plant, I'm thinking that the fuel reached criticality since the accident.
Saddly, there are many people in Fukishima who will not be able to go home. Japan is building "temporary" homes for them, but they will not be temporary.
When the SLI/Crossfire war began it was bad for the consumer. Fie, fie, fie on your proprietary video bus arraignments! I wish the consumers would bend together and demand an end to it.
[I used to usually buy an AMD processor and and Nvidia video card. I missed the chipset updates, so this is good news for me.]
Last year, for my birthday, I bought myself an old Sharp PCE-500 pocket computer. I love doing math on this thing. It remembers all the variables. It runs for over 40 hours on a set of batteries. It has an algaberic expression mode, but the main reason while I like it: The Keyboard; having a real scientific keyboard at your fingertips makes everything faster and easier than trying to make do with a laptop or desktop keyboard.
I agree! It's like the "bow upgrade" from the Thief video game, a running joke. The trick is figuring out to keep people from buying Samsung products until they support them.
Oh come on people. When Apple can make a cheaper tablet than Samsung then somethings wrong.
What I think is going on is: 1.) Maker comes out with Tablet. 2.) Maker whores it to cellphone companies. 3.) Price is artificially inflated at request of cellphone company.
If memory serves me correctly, someone at Kapersky stated that they didn't believe that people were entitled to privacy. I wish nothing but the worst for their company.
Laser pointers have a very narrow specta. I narrow band interference coating can be placed in the airplane windshields at 435 and 660 nanometers. The cost would be negligible for an airplane. In the meantime glasses with similar coatings would protect pilots.
A ban on lasers would deprive individuals of one of the greatest inventions ever. One of those people may use on in a more productive manner, and if prevented they may never make their contribution to technology.
I wrote more than 200,000 words, and it's working for me, much more reliable than MS Office was, with less editing bugs, and smaller files too, so I was able to save every version of my books. It's cross platform too.
Hey, I'm glad I didn't buy that Epic, and the froyo issue was the ONL thing that kept me from getting one. Tell that to your marketing people. I promise to tarnish Samsung's image as best I can, for not keeping a few month old phone current.
BTW, We don't want a bunch of value-added marketing-differentiated bull$shit, just a good Android phone, with a company that will stand behind it.
The title suggests that all smartphones will be dual-core this year, and we know that that has not, and cannot happen.
I have come to expect a certain amount of journalistic integrity from Slashdot, better than the major news networks, and that has been thinned this morning by the headline on this article.
Well, now that OpenOffice is pretty stable and secure, H-Oracle might as well try to get everyone to leave, that way they can have full control. The people who gave of themselves to work on OpenOffice, oh well.
If the will of the masses could will a company to bankruptcy, H-Oracle might be the next SCO.

Mark,
Can you alienate people any faster?
Why not join Oracle while you are at it.
It's unconstitutional to invoke inter state taxes.

I started a negative thread, complaining about Unity, and it was quickly closed.

I tried to slashdot it, but with a generally slashdot never posts my stories.

I hope LibriOffice, in spite of its bad name, buries Open Office.
Strip away 20 Years of hardware boat, but then add the most bloated OS on it.
It doesn't make sense.

What am I to do when this thing dies?
A number line would have done so much more.
The thing that very few people are mentioning is:
The exposure occurring over the days and weeks.
Not everyone has an x-ray every day.
The Japanese ministry is suppressing both the radiation figures for Fukushima and the areal photos recently taken.
The atom is an amazing thing because it makes people lie so much?

Sorry about wavelength. Will still work at proper wavelengths as laser light is generally monochromatic. I'm tired.

AFAIK, interstate sales taxes are unconstitutional.

If this person was the only person who helped people murdered make their last testament, then is he not a hero?
Did he not rise to a greater challenge, to truth and integrity?
I say. if he can be imprisoned, so can we.
