It's all about "app". If "app" is a generic word meaning software application (and it is), then Apple can't lay claim to "App Store" any more than Budweiser can lay claim to Beer Store or McDonalds can lay claim to Hamburger Store.
That's the best case scenario. Medium case scenario: a young punk with a shiny new gun challenges the grizzled gunslinger to a duel. Almost-worst case: Chernobyl boy poops in the classroom, and it's diarrhea, and it gets all over the place! Worst case: a young punk with a shiny new gun assassinates the grizzled gunslinger by shooting him while he sleeps, then goes around shooting anyone he pleases until he's brought down by the schoolmarm with a shotgun.
The extreme environmentalists only have a problem with the waste disposal - the fact that it takes 10,000 years or more for it become safe. If these new reactors will actually use nuclear fuel until it's about as radioactive as any other natural source, the "extreme" environmentalists will be behind it 100%.
No they won't. Even if the radioactive materials are rendered into lead, they'll complain that:
It is poisonous!
Its elemental symbol is Pb, which is also short for peanutbutter, which causes deathly allergies in children
The *Extreme* environmentalists will also complain that:
Uranium was mined from mother Gaea, hurting her
Any energy production helps support an unnatural amount of humans who will continue to rape mother Gaea
So, it might be possible that we started out with three timelike dimensions:time, length, and width, and one spacelike dimension: depth, but length and width were monotonically ordered in directions in which there was no freedom of movement, making it appear that length and width didn't exist yet? And then they somehow shifted from monotonic ordering to unordered? If so, what might it take to make time unordered?
And we found a way to hijack the cert so we can look at the packets but that causes every SSL site's cert to come up as invalid and that is now a headache for the end users.
If you own the client computers and the network they run on, why not add your own CA root cert to the browsers and make your own CA *the* authoritative CA and man-in-the-middle all silent like?
If you're using NTFS, you can use a prior submitter's suggestion regarding symlinks. NTFS has both symlinks and junctions (both act like symlinks, but junctions only work for directories).
no, HTTPS with a self signed cert is treated WORSE than HTTP.
And people who pretend they are cops are treated worse (it's a crime) than people who shout "citizen's arrest".
This is as it should be. Self-signed certs should have a warning because frankly, only the top 95% of web users have the ability (and only the top 99.99% have the desire and perseverance) to actually verify a cert out-of-band. Self-signed certs are worse for (general) security than plain HTTP because they make people believe that encryption is enough. There's a reason the "web of trust" concept exists for PGP/GnuPG, and why you need to confirm that you trust the keys you get before you can start encrypting email sent to specific people.
The reason self-signed certs are not considered better than plaintext is because the average web user is (incorrectly?) assumed to be a fucking moron who cannot verify the integrity of a certificate themselves with a side-channel.
It works for SSH, because people expect SSH users to be reasonably intelligent.
Actually, it doesn't work for https or ssh very well. When I call companies to ask them to verify a failed cert, I invariably get thrown around a phone tree then voice mail. The only place I've ever done it successfully is at an old job, and my old boss just replied "yeah we changed it, just go ahead and accept" because he didn't have time to go through a footprint verification over the phone.
I'm sorry, but self-signed certs aren't safer, they just cut out casual listeners who probably aren't criminals. Self-signed certs are like a mysterious guy from a movie who announces he's a cop without showing his badge, who says to get in his car and he'll take you to a safe-house. Sure, it seems safer around him, but the trouble is you don't really know if he's a cop. Is he taking you downtown to protect you from the people threatening your life, or is he one of those people making your disappearance neat and tidy? Mozilla's the guy in the movie theater who always yells "Don't go with him, he's not a real cop!" Annoying if you actually want the tension, but nice if you're on the dense side of the fence and don't realize the potential danger.
I gave a speech once on the difference between irradiated foods (to kill bacteria) and radioactive foods (foods that give off radiation), and used a banana and a geiger counter as props. I'm pretty sure no one left understanding that irradiated foods are safe to eat, but instead believed that bananas were unsafe.
I found one source that said firefighters had radiation levels of 27 mSV after a 13 hour operation (presumably to cool down the reactor). Which doesn't seem to me to be a severe healthrisk after looking at the chart provided.
That's like getting five chest CT scans in 13 hours, which is not recommended by the Surgeon General. The 50mSv maximum for radiation workers is a yearly maximum. Getting it all in one day is probably(?) worse than spread out over the year.
That doesn't make any sense. Cars got faster between 1910 and 1930. But after they reached "as fast as humans can actually control them safely", they stopped getting faster, by and large. Did that cause a collapse of the industry? Did everyone completely stop buying cars? Consider airplanes -- between 1900 when the first flight happened, to WW2 where they were a critical part of strategy, they got faster. But once they reached the limits of speed / air resistance economics, they stopped getting significantly faster -- at least as far as most consumers are concerned. Now the main difference in passenger experience between a plane made 30 years ago and one made 10 years ago is whether the in-flight entertainment is on one shared screen, or each person has their own screen. This lack of increase in airplane speed has somehow failed to destroy the airline economy.
The concord was a commercial endeavor pushing the speeds of consumer air travel, but it died, and no one has started another supersonic jet company.
I like Dell because their support actually listens to me. "the cooling fan died" is met with a question of whether I need a technician or just the part. When I call Apple and tell them that an iMac overheats to the point of locking up, they call me a liar and hang up "if it doesn't turn off, its not overheating" Oh, really, then why is it locked up and so hot?
So you mean the problem is that way back in the day when DOS/Windows routinely ran on non-networked systems, prior to the Internet explosion, that MS did not anticipate the future and start proactively breaking existing programs to ensure that 15 years later things would be better?
No, I'm pretty sure he means that MS should have been making multi-user systems when they were non-networked. Would have been mighty helpful. In fact, even after they started using NT as the home-system base, they made administrator the default and obfuscated the fact that multiple users was a possibility by auto-logging-in the admin. Developers were used to coding for(on) systems where anyone who sat down could do anything.

Worst case scenario it levels the playing field?

That depends on whether they are put into sealed boxes with hammers and vials of poison gas.
Unless GP really meant 0.09 Sv and was wrong about the comparison.
It's worse than that. They are dropping a load on their computers. Presumably from Nuclear Boy.
