    Lies. France is particularly transparent regarding nuclear incidents. They even invented a level 0 incident. And absolutely everything is published on the website of the ASN http://www.asn.fr/ . Now if other industries could be even half as transparent

    It makes sense to compare the safety of different means for producing energy. the number of workers, or the cause of death is irrelevant: if more people die to produce the same amount of energy, then this kind of energy is more dangerous to produce.

  17. Re:YES!!! This is why the android bugs me so much! on Experts Say Gestural Interfaces Are a Step Backwards In Usability · · Score: 1

    Sounds less like "Android" in the general case and rather has much more to do with your phone, and your vendor which supplied you a phone with that firmware. I have only once ever seen a force close, and that was due to flashing a new firmware without doing a factory reset first. What phone do you have?

    HTC Magic with cyanogen 6.0 (android 2.2). But I had the same problem before flashing the firmware. I guess it's just an old phone with hardware that can't handle new applications anymore. It worked fine for one year before problems began to be recurrent.

    That said, I don't really put the blame on android (or htc), as my next phone will be an htc with android.

  18. Re:YES!!! This is why the android bugs me so much! on Experts Say Gestural Interfaces Are a Step Backwards In Usability · · Score: 1

    You DO NOT need to close applications in Android. It's handled automagically by the OS.

    Yes, my android phone always know what application is using resources and close it instantly. Especially if it is the application I'm currently using (several times a day, I happen to open a heavy (with js, images...) page in the native browser, and it just force close. Same with google maps: more often than not, it just closes a few seconds after I open it. No task killer installed, just a 18 months old phone).

  22. Re:Reasoned Debate? on Tim Berners-Lee: Stop Foaming At the Mouth, Twitter · · Score: 1

    1000 characters is not very long. The typical /. summary is between 500 and 1000 (for this story it's just a little more than 600).
    Anyway, I said 1000 but my point would have been the same had I said 400 or 1500.

    The character limit made users write very short summary of what they want to say, allowing only the core of the information to appear (if they want to write more, they must include a link). Without this limit, what would be the interest of twitter over an rss agregator following several blogs?
    the shortness of the information is what makes the information useful. there is no useless noise in tweets masking the information. if the tweet is useless it provides no information at all, you never have to extract it from ambiant noise.

    I think twitter is more for listening than talking, and that's the reason of its success.
    (this last sentence is what I would have written in a tweet, and is the core of what I want to say. The rest is noise.)
