  3. Re:THESE reactors should't have had a problem on A New Class of Nuclear Reactors · · Score: 1

    It was using active cooling, modern designs have passive cooling. I actually talked to the chair of the nuclear engineering department at University of Missouri Rolla or now Missouri University of Science, about modern designs. Modern passive cooling system build a large pool of water above the main reactor. I don't know all the details but I pretty sure they would just use a nature heat cycle. Hot water goes up to main cooling pool, the cool water is pulled by gravity back through the reactor. No backup power needed, unless gravity someone how fails.

    Charlie Miller comments who has won the pwn2own contest portion for the iPhone for that last few years. “The first one [in 2007] was really, really easy. They had nothing, no sandboxing. Everything was running as root. It was super easy. The SMS one [in 2009] was harder because of DEP but there were no sandbox issues because the process that controlled SMSes wasn’t in a sandbox.” “As of 4.3, because of the new ASLR, it will be much harder,” Miller added.

    Let me see Google can code JIT secure javascript engine V8, but Apple cannot. Sounds like Microsoft, oh I mean Apple rushed an insecure javascript engine out the door. Android has had V8 since August 2010, so the iPhone has been slower until this month.

    Most gun shot detectors can tell the differences between different types of guns. Every gun is similar to musical instrument, and you get good at it , you can qucikly tell between what kind of gun is being fired without seeing it.

    If your not being ambushed. If it is ambush you have to mow threw there line, a strait bum rush threw their line, it fucking sucks.
    I can see how this would help in ambush, you could pop off a few hand grenades or 203 rounds.
    This just brought up a funny moment when we got ambushed in Iraq.

    The predicate "rumor" comes before the statement "intentionally slowing down web apps to make their native apps more favorable." Means it doesn't mean it is true, but there were some "bugs" or new "features" that were introduced from the 4.2 to 4.3 release, of which there is not official replies from Apple.

  24. Why is the reply always "no one cares about" on Nexus S Beats iPhone 4 In 'Real World' Web Browsing Tests · · Score: 2
    Why is that every time you show some Android product has better feature or performance, call it X, than an competing Apple product the reply from Apple fans follows this logic..

    People don't care about X

    Eventually Apples popularity will start to fade and people WILL care.
    1 second difference can add up to a lot of time if you read many web pages, or you are searching for something. Just do the math. Say 100 modest amount web pages a day , 365 days a year. So you have (100*365)/3600 = 10.13 extra hours spent a year staring at screen that is doing nothing. In both tests they used the embedded browser for both handsets respectively. From their testing suite I don't see how they could throw off the benchmark that much, 45,000 samples is a pretty significant sample size.
    More on there testing methodology is here http://www.blaze.io/mobile/methodology/ .
    Finally the second link is complaints from Apple iOS developers. iOS 4.3 browser cannot use the new Nitro javascript engine in full screen mode, html 5 caching is missing, and mode in which the page is drawn on the screen has changed such that it is slower than native apps. Bug or not, it currently slower and no one knows why except Apple.

    Your reply is riddled with fallacies or faulty logic.
    • First up, an ad hominem . Not to bad, you are suppose to grab the readers attention, insulting them is one way.
    • Next is the straw man .
    • Followed by another ad hominem. Not very good, better luck next time.
    • Ending with a Red herring

    I will end with an ad hominem. Just because you use logical operators does not make your statements logical. Go take a introduction to advance mathematics course about a 200 level course and learn a little logic, it might help you.
