Getting a high IQ in a test demonstrates that you are good at doing IQ tests. I should know, I have an IQ of 42 and I'm still looking for the question.

Why don't you put a condom over your fibre optic link to the Internet? No more problems.

Your level of knowledge about nuclear power seems based on technology born of nuclear weapons. The world is trying to move on from that, although most people are blithely unaware of that fact. Modern nuclear power generation systems will assist in removing "bad" waste from old reactors. This should be a good thing but apparently you are so far in denial or suffer from lack of knowledge that you fail to understand this. I suggest that you never get on a boat in case you fall over the edge of the world.

I thought you just divided 22 by 7...

There is a BIG difference between update and upgrade.
Updates are usually simple or transparent regardless of OS. Although Scumsoft always requires a reboot.
Upgrades are usually best done to a new machine or disk so that legacy configurations do not conflict with the new versions or leave orphans hanging around. Migration of data from the old version to the new upgraded version ensures that you have a backup in case shit happens.

Yes, but the disk is rotating at 198,374 furlongs/fortnight.
It's all getting a bit bitty methinks.

Regardless of any facts, whether you believe in warming, cooling or another day at the beach. Any hope about the average person having any care about what may or may not happen has been crushed by alarmists, bad politics, whores making money out of it and sundry other things. If people are constantly bombarded with doom, gloom and despondency, they become indifferent. It's a version of the "Cry wolf" syndrome. Indifference leads in complacency. Take people out of the equation and science may have a chance. This is not a major issue, it is only our planet at stake. Astronomers have now found over a thousand other planets, maybe on one of them it's not too late. Forgive me if I appear cynical, I am inclined to find less and less that is particularly special about humans.

I hope it's not running on Windows"...maybe that's why the sky is blue...we keep seeing the BSOD over and over and over again, every day.

Did the article address /. readers specifically? I think not. You need to calm down a bit before you blow a gasket

50% of the Earth's heat comes from nuclear reactions in the core. The China syndrome is responsible for heating the core causing CO2 to bubble out of the ocean floor. Ban nuclear power, ban coal power...ban everything.

Scopes and logic analyzers running Windows??????
Surely you jest.
Windows is not known for its real time response. What would be the scopes timebase marked in? - days, hours and minutes.

Have no fear, we will eventually have wireless running at 100 Gbps and probably faster. Although I may be dead before it gets to far North Queensland - which is probably true for the NBN as well. http://tech.slashdot.org/story/13/12/05/2025245/australias-44b-broadband-network-may-settle-for-fiber-near-the-home?utm_source=rss1.0moreanon&utm_medium=feed

I didn't say "grammar". There is a difference between the colloquial and the written word. Inflections cannot be made in the written word. This is the problem with many people writing today, they write how they speak. If often does not make sense. Writing is a linear process. When reading, most people cannot read ahead to gain the inflection required to interpret the text correctly. Instead of writing "The report critiques how bad people are at making secure passwords.", it may be better to write "The report critiques how people are bad at making secure passwords."

The punctuation doesn't.

"The report critiques how bad people are at making secure passwords" Why do "bad people" make secure passwords? Perhaps bad written language makes good passwords.
