WERE safer you mean. it was a gamble against time. see, a 9 scale quake happened NEAR a nuclear installation, and there is a country-worth of mess right now. (and this is the situation now, heaven knows what it will develop into).
who is guaranteeing a major nuclear installation will not be directly in the midst of a level 8-9 quake next time ?
oil pipelines are also dangerous, and very hazardous to environment. however, they are not comparable with grand scale radiation. its something that CHANGES the nature, instead of damages it outright. you can argue that excessive toxic oil based wastes can also do genetic mutations in biosphere - but, the possibilities of that compared to direct radiation can not be even mentioned.
'inconvenient truth' has turned into a metaphor that denotes any truth that is disruptive to the convenience of the society at large, or established economical elements at large.
is definitely NOT more planetary-scale hazardous installations that can poison entire countries. too much convenience may be hazardous for your health - suddenly you may find yourself eating radiation in dinner instead of having a cheap power bill.
with an acer aspire 9 inch 1 gb ram 160 gb hd, im running windows xp, notepad++, adobe cs 3, winscp, foobar2000, pidgin, googletalk all at the same time with multiple firefox tabs AND chrome tabs, doing web development. i have no problems.
i have 1 gb ram, 160 gb plain hd netbook, and i am able to run notepad++, 3 instant messengers, adobe photoshop cs3, winscp on it at the same time, AND listen to music simultaneously, while using windows xp on it.
im at a loss to understand. it is because of the very fact that compressors were around for decades, we need crystalizers. crystalizers try to amend the audio range lost by compressors by expanding on those ranges.
what you called netbooks transformed into mini laptops. whereas they had 8 gb flash or whatever memory once, now they have hard disks. 1-2 generations before the form factor mine has (acer's aspire) had 256 mb ram, 8 gb ssd or something.
my acer aspire has 1 gb ram, 160 gb hard disk. it is the same size. and runs windows xp. it is actually quite capable, to the extent that using notepad++ , winscp, adobe photoshop cs 3 etc, i am able to do web development on it.
netbooks not dead. they are just laptops now. mini versions.
im somewhat of an audophile, and despite i have been using windows xp with extra software like srs audio sandbox (cryztalizes and clears sounds) and a good sound card (original x-fi x-treme music, from the production batch which got the good chips) with crystallizer and so on, on top of an altec lansing fx6021 speaker set (in-concert array microdrives totaling 12, crystal clear) for a long time,
i was dumbstruck with the audio quality pulseaudio + x-fi x-treme music + audacious media player with crystallizer plugin gave, when i switched to linux.
now im switching to linux every time i want to listen to music in high quality.

some people had forgot that this 'social networking' thing in its current form (facebook etc) had started as an intelligence operation to find out where saddam hussein was hiding back then - they brought together people's photos, and linked their relations to find out the people most likely to be hiding hussein in a research effort.
read server security/compromise cases you can find from google. its something trivial. i cant be bothered to provide eloquent summaries for someone so far off the field.

you must have a problem with continuum of time. radiation is not something that strikes like lightning.

What about the next time when a major natural disaster hits another one of these nuclear perils ?

its a good insight. i posted in this discussion.
do you take paypal ?

ill buy it. im serious.
i said i am SOMEWHAT of an audophile. i dont have $4000 to sink on a lamp amp.

criyztalizea is better than listening to crap that went through dynamic range compression.
they do. good luck finding such streams in the world of dynamic range boosted audio recordings.
there is no crystalizer support for x fi under linux, but audacious media player does that perfectly well (even better) with its crystalizer plugin.

after silverlight, they are dropping .NET too ? what happened to "developers developers developers" ?
I dont want a tv that would go the length of telling ME what to do, instead of me telling it what to do through the tv remote.
so, no thanks.

You may be able to bring them to court if the 6 year old had said "I was involved in that crime that happened.".
and that would be right ?
come back when you have worked in hosting industry trenches for enough.
news to you. it is quite frequently used for making the vulnerabilities come up. had you been in hosting industry trenches for long, you would know.
'harm' and 'compromise' are two different things.
