Its free, take it or leave it. contribute or STFU.

You don't like it? We don't care.

And the problem isn't ours its yours since you're the one whining.

This attitude is why every single piece of free software that is widely in use (Firefox, Ubuntu, Android, etc.) is developed and distributed by commercial companies. Community-driven development is good at fixing bugs, but sucks when documenting or supporting.

It is from their perspective, which makes this a stupid decision even by their own interests.

each time a big truck enters

It's not a big truck!

Sure, let's tear apart the integrity of our global network for the sake of sticking it to a government. Did anyone think through what would happen if you disrupted the network on such a scale? The national ISPs would host their own root, and anyone abroad who wanted to keep accessing those domains would likewise switch to alt roots.

End result, the domain name system gets fractured, ICANN and the US govt retain less control of the internet, and also they look like assholes.

Good thing this was dismissed as the dumb idea it was.

From Torvalds, that's uncharacteristically friendly.

What?

It's kind of hard to spy on someone surreptitiously with a blimp...

(Addendum: Even if this is possible, if there is a source of radiation strong enough for that anywhere near inhabited areas, you probably have bigger issues than a little tritium in the water.)

unless you assumed the sewage was somehow radioactive

I was going to say that even that should be removed by distillation, and the water molecules shouldn't become radioactive, but now I'm not sure. Deuterium can capture neutrons to form radioactive tritium, but Wikipedia doesn't say if regular hydrogen can do the same to form deuterium.

This reminds me of Asimov's short story "Strikebreaker", where a person becomes untouchable by pressing the button for a remote-controlled waste treatment plant.

Since you need to treat sewage before putting it in the ground, and ground water before putting it in the water supply, what is new about connecting those two points? Do people think the sewage magically stops being sewage once it leaves the system?
