If I were a US citizen, I'd demand. that these installations totally disappear from the map and all references to it be removed from press, books and the internet, because the SSC incident represents a national science hall of shame.
Then perhaps it should be put in a hall of shame, rather than erased from history? "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it", and all that.
Oh, and George Orwell's here too. He'd like to have a few words with you.
Yes, because I definitely want to install a separate program for Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Sourceforge, Github, and every other website that makes (real/AJAXy) use of JavaScript.
Uh, what article are you reading? Only one part of that article puts nuclear with the most expensive methods. All other studies put it around the lower-middle of the pack.
See the 2010 DOE study, which puts the price per megawatt-hour of a nuclear plant at $119.0--compared to coal's $100.4, hydro's $119.9, wind's $149.3, and solar's $396.1.
Sure, I was surprised that all these companies are actually keeping permanent files on me. But I don't think they will do anything with them that does me any harm.
Okay, Mr. Stein, let's assume that all those companies have your information, and won't do anything nefarious with it.
Now, how many of those companies do you think actually keep that information secure? At how many of those companies could you just walk off with data? How many would allow you to view this data with an afternoon's worth of crafting an SQL injection?
Answer: As the number of companies with your data increases, the probability approaches 100%.
And when someone--probably malicious--does get your data... Then what? They now have your "social security number, age, marital status, religion, income, debt, interests, browsing and spending habits".
And guess what they can do with this information.
This article says "Micrsoft does not believe ARM can deliver the performance needed." To that I wonder "why is everyone else able to make amazing performance happen with ARM???"
a new animated series is now in development that incorporates many open source middleware and wrappers [...] the Kinect, OpenNI, Brekel, MotionBuilder and Maya.
(remember the days of Kernel version 2.0? or even 1.2?)
Man, I'm one of the young ones around here. I don't even remember Linux 2.4!
(I believe I started using GNU/Linux around Linux 2.6.22, or whatever was available for Ubuntu Dapper, in 2006.)

So I can make movies with a digitally-simulated model of James Dean as my lead actor, and nobody has any say in the matter? Or forget movies: TV commercials, that's where the real cash is.
Oh, god... I don't even want to think about Billy Mays selling something from beyond the grave.
Okay, show of hands. Who else stopped reading the summary when the hit the word "cyberwar"?
(Okay, I'll admit I scanned the rest of it, but saw "Chertoff" and really stopped reading.)
MS is moving everyone off XP by only putting Windows 7 on new computers.
It's the least-effort method of migrating everyone. It'll happen a little more slowly, but for certain. (Corporations, etc. will still use XP on the desktop for a while, but they'll change too as hardware gets replaced.)

Considering that plant life is the base of the food chain, if you removed all sources of radiation, we'd be more than ill, we'd be dead. ;)
"He was just trying to get a good signal"
Sounds exactly like Java. (And we know how Slashdot feels about Java.)
How nice for them.
"I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
Here's something, though: I wouldn't be surprised if you hear the phrase "crimes against humanity" too far in the future.
Oh, well there's you problem. Tell them they should be using Git!
Oh, wait...

You think 2 TB is big? I have a 500 GB drive, and after two disk crashes (and much lost data), I'm still finding porn^Wmusic I saved years ago.

For those who want an article with things like numbers and cutaway diagrams of the reactor, please see this article, from World Nuclear News.

Anything.
Because it'd have to run Windows?
Maya? Not the open-source Blender?

The article has since been listed on deletion review. Head on over, make your case.
Meanwhile, the article has be undeleted and moved to userspace here.

No, but they have implemented the soul.
(Though I just checked, and it seems they didn't.)
Ahahahahaha! You kill me, you really do.

Because then we could analyze the results and see if we could find out WHY some white blood cells are stronger than others?
Or, after rereading the summary, this is art. There is no "why" in art.
