Apparently, Clinton used personal email server so that Russians could access it, while US public couldn't. Not sure why, but she must have had a reason.

It is funny to hear this from a user with 7 digit id addressed to a user who was there before any of us.

Was it European or African?

This was a triumph!
I'm making a note here:
Huge success!

It's hard to overstate
my satisfaction.

I understand NY Times' desire to compete with TheOnion for delivery of satirical news, but enough is enough, TheOnion must sue NY Times for trademark violation here.

Westinghouse, AREVA (Olkilouto 3), and now Duke Energy... More and more players seem to have trouble when trying to to re-start building new nuclear plants...

It is not equivalent to the clay millennium prize. One can solve the queen chess problem by building an efficient quantum computer. You can't get the clay millennium prize if you built such quantum computer.

It was not discontinued. Inconel-600 is known for its resistance to chemical corrosion and still used in high-temperature environments. Unfortunately it lost certification for use in nuclear reactors because it became known in early 2000s (see publication MRP-111 Materials Reliability Program Resistance to Primary Water Stress Corrosion Cracking of Alloys 690, 52, and 152 in Pressurized Water Reactors) that it have caused leaks of radioactive fluids there because of radiation induced corrosion. The fact that Westinghouse used it in its early specifications for these reactors is entirely their fault. Germans, Russians switched to Incoloy-800 long ago and Americans waited when it gets approved in US. Unfortunately this switch caused delays, re-design, and partial re-build. Then there were problems with quality control, problems with foundation, problems with transportation of delicate components, etc.

Stalling of this project was not caused by Westinghouse bankruptcy, rather Westinghouse bankruptcy was caused by its inability to build reactors without cost overruns.

Education in Sweden is free. In contrast, a family with 3 children in USA is expected to pay over from 20k to 50k per year for 10 years of schools and over $150k per year for 4 years of college. Not to mention other big expenses, like housing or healthcare...

All I can say with this free Kaspersky anti-virus you get what you pay for. I was rather happy with no anti-virus at all for years. Now when I installed Kaspersky antivirus and to my surprise it came with 3 viruses no less. I was not pleased, so I uninstalled this piece of cra%@#%#$%@!NO CARRIER

What is IS?

Yeah, this election demonstrated what could happen when both parties tried their best to lose. I guess Republicans lost in the end.

Well, considering that none of us can know what happened for sure, and any claims by any side could be attributed to mere propaganda, all we can do is hypothesize and estimate probabilities... I think there are following possibilities out there

1. Syrian army actually did that.
   1. with knowledge of Syrian high command
      1. sanctioned by Russian high command
      2. without Russian involvement
   2. attack was unauthorized by the Syrian command
      1. Syrian government was aware of illegal stockpiles of chemical weapons (so it is still partly to blame)
      2. Goverment was not aware, it was a rogue attack by a rogue party within Syrian army
2. It was a false flag attack aimed to blame Syrian goverment
   1. Covert operation by anti-Assad coalition
      1. Saudi Intelligence
      2. CIA
      3. Turkey
      4. Other
   2. ISIS
   3. Other Anti-Assad terrorists (use of chemical weapons means it was terrorists, not freedom fighters or something like that)
3. Accidental release (due to bombing of a storage, for example)
4. It was never a chemical attack but everyone is claiming it was
5. Some other explanation

A-priori all these scenarios were equally likely. As time goes on, we should expect to come to the only most likely case.

You are claiming it was definitely 1.a.i., USA officials do not blame Russia directly, so it is 1.a.ii according to them

Russian and Syrian official claim it was either 3 or 2.a

So given those claims 1.a, 2.a or 3. would probably have 90+% probability with others to be rather negligible.

Now considering that it was not in interests of Assad or Russia to provoke any additional international critisism, I would say 1 has less than 20% chance, I would put most of my money on 2.b or 2.c.
