Article doesn't say that the orbits are chaotic. It says that they are stable, and even have resonances.

From TFA: "Rather than rotating about a single axis, Pluto’s moons Nix and Hydra tumble chaotically as they move around the Pluto-Charon system. Sure, the revolution of their orbits isn’t all that chaotic—they’re in stable, resonating orbits with one another—but the rotational part is!"

Yes, they will continue to rotate, I may have missed where someone suggested they wouldn't, but I don't think anyone did. The rotation about an axis itself being chaotic is the claim. Not the orbit.

I think I can relate to an extent - I tried using media player to play DVDs on many occasions, and my recollection is that on a good few of those occasions it just didn't work. In those instances, VLC tended to work. Just my personal experience so I don't expect it to conform with everyone else's.

So if it doesn't fix all problems, ever, it isn't worth doing? Kids mainly transmit diseases at school. Schools are disease incubators. If you don't think it's appropriate to require people to be vaccinated at public schools there isn't much anyone can say to you about it, I suspect.

It doesn't (and didn't!) help with Disneyland I agree. But it might be able to persuade some of the less-rabid or on-the-fence parents to get their kids vaccinated.

A more generous interpretation of what he's saying is that children have the right to be protected from disease. I agree with him.

Compared to bringing eradicated diseases back in a big way, it's the lesser evil.

Something to do with gaming journalism?

While you could well be right, every year that passes would seem to make it less likely that smallpox is going to make a comeback (at least from natural reservoirs).

"Herd immunity" is the main reason why it is a public safety issue. Most vaccines are not 100% effective, but they stop disease from spreading through the population because higher than a critical proportion of the population are effectively vaccinated. This protects not only those for whom the vaccine is ineffective, but those who cannot have the vaccine administered for medical reasons (e.g. very young, very old, or immunocompromised). Herd immunity is vital for pertussis (hooping cough), because the newborns to whom it is most dangerous cannot be given the vaccine. I'm not a doctor, but this is my understanding of the issue.

Fine, don't wanna vaccinate your kids, they shouldn't be allowed in public schools. This is a nice, fair solution. If people want to make their kids a vector for eradicated diseases (hey it's their "right") they should make other arrangements for education.

"Christian Scientists" are trying to punch a hole in time with sheer fucking irony, given what they believe, and their goddamn name.

Ah. So deleting the local files won't help. lol

Presumably if you delete the file that the recorded conversation is stored in you stop the crashes.

It shows a shocking lack of awareness of how the world works, the kind of awareness you take for granted when talking to another adult.
