"In insisting that any change is caused by man and dooms us and the rest of the planet you sound just like some desperately guilt-ridden and very unscientific cult."
Yes, Nuclear "energy" is more green than most of other fossile energy.
But also potentially more dangerous.
When Lewis wrote his article saying that this was a minor incident winding down, he was completely wrong. This was a very serious incident growing and growing.
He wrote a series of article saying it was impossible that only iodine would be release and that it was impossible that cesium would be release.
Those prooved to be completely false.
Then, because this industry is potentially very dangerous, we have to be on the knees on the enterprise to be sure they keep on improving their security standards. Exactly the contrary of this Mr Agenda.
I am impressed by your imaginative way of using use of fire by prehistoric man to pretend that gengerating CO2 is what makes us human, and trying to get to our minds that we have to continue to generate the more CO2.
Brilliant Thesis.
What about demonstrating that lying is an essential part of being human ?
Really sorry, but I rated the article as 'utterly terrible' because it obviously lacks plenty of information to make it bringing any value to someone actively interested in it
1000 millisivert per hour this morning in some water found in reactor n°2.
Everything is fine.
Radioactivity released in the environment keep on growing.
What you can't understand, is that the crisis is not because of the current situation, but because of where the current situation could drive us.
Before the tsunami, all that happened could never have happened.
After the tsunami, the "experts" told us that as the reactor had been stopped, this was just a cooling problem.
After the first explosions and the first releases of radioactive elements, again "experts" start to pretend that there was no problem as the situation was under controlled and only short halflived element could leak.
Every assertion done by "experts" in the last weeks have proven wrong.
Do we really have to wait for the situation to go to the next level to have the right to say that this is a crisis ?
"It remains highly unlikely that the workers themselves will suffer any measurable health consequences from radiation"
With levels of 500 millisiverts per hour close to reactor 2 today, they have a little more than 10 minutes to spend there before they should run away.
That does not give time to do a lot of work.
If ever this increase and prevent worker from working close to reactors 1 and 3 before being able to reinstate a proper cooling system, this situation might become critical.
As already said by anonymous coward, natively, chrome OS is targeting netbooks and not tablets.
This is a very important distinction.
Is there a touch based layer at the time being in Chrome OS ?
I don't know.
But reading such a short article based on a single tweet, and mentioning twice that ChromeOS is targeting tablet is really clear on the level of this article : bullshit written by somebody of very little knowledge of the situation
Sorry for that, but this Mr X is the head of the blogging company most teenagers in France have been using the last 4 years. He is also the head of a radio plenty of French teenagers are listening to.
That's why it is worrying to learn what this person is capable of ...
Then, if you read the complete judgement (http://legalis.net/spip.php?page=jurisprudence-decision&id_article=2985), and you are native speaker, you will understand the "people condemned" :
- Eric S. (as it is stated although the 'directeur de la publication" of a French web site can not be anonymised
- Google Inc
(Google France is not condemned because Google Inc is directly responsible for running google.fr)
to pay :
- 5.000Euros for the costs to go to court
- 1 Euro of damages (M. Bellanger had asked for 100.000 Euros)
- 500 Euros per day and per occurence starting one month after the judgement (so should be october 8th)
I imagine that an occurence is when one of the following terms
" “M. X... viol”,
- “M. X... condamné”,
- “M. X... sataniste”,
- “M. X... prison”,
- “M. X... violeur"
appears on Google suggest after having typed the name of this person (and you can judge by yourself now cause it still works). So I imagine it's a maximum of 2.500Euros max per day.
First, French national figures : if you do consider the amount of suicides that are from teenagers, and if you do consider that there are no teenagers in France Télécom, then you can consider that the figures are more above French average than under.
Then, what is worth considering, is the amount of people that are commiting suicide, mentioning the main reason for that is their work, and because of the pressure of their work, they no longer can cope with that.
Then, this is very unusual. People generally comitting suicide because of personal problems. Not because of problems with their manager's pressure.
Then, yes there may be civil servant that were not used to work with pressure. Then, I was shocked to see people (not in this forum) saying that it was the wikest that were failing.
In fact, if you are looking at the average people that are comitting suicide, you discover that they were people that did succeed in the past, but because of the neverending structure remodelling, they were doing job they were not comfortible in, they were failing to cope with their workload, and their objectives. Then, themselves or their manager were telling them that they are weak and should leave.
They are lost and are commiting suicide.
Moreover, one important point to consider, is that in France, as FT is partially state owned, there has never been any redundancy plan. The government never allowed that to FT management, though that is necessary.
But there are great pressure from the management to see people leaving the company. The bonuses of managers are based on how many people from their service are leaving the company. Anf those people are sometimes harassing the employees and bullying them, to drive them to resign.
As a consequence of what, people are sometimes choosing a more extreme solution.

Sorry, but I also saw some demos of flat panel 3D screen 2 months ago, and there were no such frame per left/right eye and you could have a continued viewing experience without pain.
The 3D experince was great. But then this is a demo, and the sequences are selected. So I would be very interested to see the result with everyday TV programs
The singaporian situation has nothing to do with the british one.
The deals and the exclusivity T&C that have been signed with AT&T and with 02, Orange and T-mobile (resp. UK, France and Germany) have nothing to do with the conditions for the iPhone 3G and the new countries.
Please, could someone clarify (or as the article is not 100% clear on that, shall I look for information somewhere else ?)
Was the judgement based on the privacy invasion globally, or only on the "wrong" (according to the judge) claim that there was a Nazy connotation in the sexual activity ?
"No ISP/ISV will *ever* provide real-time data from their monitoring systems to their customers. Such data will always be vetted by their systems/network engineers prior to "disclosure". And that takes time, so get used to it. (Real-life ain't CS skool.)"
Shall I conclude that the real time data my hosting company is sending me is a fake ?
This is just a little trick from Adobe to "encourage" users to upgrade to their latest version of software.

Matt, you are a joke.

Did I ever said that ?
So, claiming that I insisted that is a joke.
You are a joke. End of the story.

Waow.

We have an actual proof here ...
News about Fukushima ?
Hey Lewis ! Any news about Fukushima ?
Is it back in control now ? Did anything happened there ?
When are you going to start again your flood of erroneous and wrong articles on the incident ?
Trying to get back on track with climate change ?
Really sorry, but I rated the article as 'utterly terrible' because it obviously lacks plenty of information to make it bringing any value to someone actively interested in it

Google TV
Hello,
As far as I know, it is the same for Google TV at this time ...
But I never heard any noise about this one.
Is that linked to the "limited" success ?
great !
Any comment from the 500 millisquivert per hour near nuclear reactor 2 ?
Is this no harmfull for TEPCO employees working on reestablishing the cooling system ?
radiation level close to reactor 2
"It remains highly unlikely that the workers themselves will suffer any measurable health consequences from radiation"
With levels of 500 millisiverts per hour close to reactor 2 today, they have a little more than 10 minutes to spend there before they should run away.
That does not give time to do a lot of work.
If ever this increase and prevent worker from working close to reactors 1 and 3 before being able to reinstate a proper cooling system, this situation might become critical.
Clearly, a triumph for the nuclear industry ...
not exactly
The threat level has never been taken down from 6 to 4.
It was a different agency that set the level to 6.
very poor article

GPL violation ?
So logitech will start selling in 2-3 weeks a device running mostly on GPL code, but the source code will be made available in summer 2011.
Looks like a GPL violation to me.
They have to offer the source code of all GPL based code they are using as soon as they start selling the device.
one last thing

compass
The T-Mobile G1 (aka HTC Dream) already includes a compass

The phone is supposed to be for developers.
Moreover, one of the interest for developers is that the bootloader is specific and allows you to completely reflash the OS.
And for shipping costs, read the small lines ...
"Outside the US
For Orders shipping outside the US, shipping pricing includes cost of
shipping service and the applicable customs, duties, import and
country specific other fees."

"Alchemy also lets you play Ogg Vorbis and Lib Vorbis that were previously unable to run in the Flash Player or AIR"
What is Lib Vorbis ? Isn't that rather a port of libvorbis that allows to play Ogg Vorbis content ?
