False, all a kernel does is included in that and what i gave was textbook definition of a kernel. You can't provide a single counterexample as the hardware includes all functions of cpu, memory management, io, interrupts, bus, etc.

True, but you don't want to be breathing them.

That's kinda the point. There aren't other jobs that will support them in the manner in which they are accustomed. Many probably have much more than 200K per year alimony payments.

Absolutely false. I gave the textbook definition of a kernel which includes the management of all resources not just driver functions. What you're thinking of is too narrow minded.

It's it just me or do 90% of the site names scream 'SCAM!!' ?

Seems like the 911 dispatcher induced panic not him. Alpha waves are brain waves no? nothing to do with radioactive particles. Alpha particles on the other hand....

What's you're describing as socialism is more akin to what's termed a mixed economy or perhaps you were aiming for the Social Democracies of Scandinavian countries which are largely capitalistic (there are some state owned enterprises) and have high tax rates which pay for a large number of social programs.

In a historical sense, socialism and the various factions under it were at least united under the principles that private property should not exist. The largest difference between communism and socialism is that communists (sometimes called Marxists, but there are some groups that consider themselves communists but not Marxists) believed that it was necessary to have a revolution to seize power whereas most other socialist groups believed it was possible to achieve this transition through peaceful democratic means.

Socialism itself is almost too broad of a descriptor in much the same way that capitalism is too broad. There are all kinds of different flavors that span the gamut from the more anarchistic types that don't believe a state should exist to the model employed by most communist countries where the state runs the economy. When you view it in that context the only common feature is that neither group believes in private property. You can find the same distinctions under capitalism where you have laissez faire free market capitalists and capitalists who favor government regulations in most sectors of the economy. The only common feature is that both groups believe in private property.

Because of wind. Are you saying that gravity in a vacuum results in the same effects of wind in our atmosphere?

So based on my very specific training in nuclear reactors... we had

photons aka EM Radiation sometimes called xrays depending on the frequency

Alpha PARTICLES

Beta particles

and Neutrons

the rest of the shit is too rare and theoretical to cause harm such as Positrons and anti-protons, because even when they occur they pair annihilate the second they come in contact with an electron or proton.

Beta particles are stopped/shielded by your clothing. Its a hydrogen atom that had its electron stripped. +1 charge.

an Alpha particle is a helium atom with its electrons stripped. It is stopped/shielded by the dead layer of your skin. +2 charge.

The only time an Alpha particle is a health risk is when a nucleide such as Radon experiences Alpha decay, while inside your lungs. The same thing can occur with smoking tobacco products too. Otherwise Alpha particles, outside your lungs, are mostly harmless.

If you're only sharing information about political parties, are we supposed to automatically take that as fact? Is that how they're manipulating voting campaigns? Am I supposed to watch political commercials before I vote?

You have had more than 5 years to educate yourself on this matter. I will answer the logs question as I have many times here before. You can still use syslog-ng, rsyslog, or any other logging facility. You can do so with or without jounrald creating its binary log. So 100% flexibility, and this is configured with ... wait for it .... a simple textual config file. If you want to know more about systemd you should really learn about it. Maybe you'll be the first to come back with a legitimate complaint founded in actual knowledge of systemd!

Alpha particles aren't a concern with a reactor anyway. Your skin or a sheet of paper can stop those. The neutron field is the most serious thing, that can activate you and make you a rad source. Reactors make gammas too, also a major concern but those neutrons are the worst.

Actually, it's based on the scientific method, and not a form of agenda applied to affect political change.

And, the observations were not taken in Liberal Kansas, pop. 20,000.

The electric power generation industry begs to differ with you. Also, various medical and research institutions.

Are you saying that CALEA actually requires US businesses to develop facial recognition technology? Because that is an amazingly broad interpretation of it. Do I need to start development work now, or do you think my business will be able to continue to fly under the radar? No one seems to have noticed I'm not working on this.

There are two kinds of psychiatrists: Those who are incompetent, and those who are monsters that take glee in driving their patients to suicide.

Having said that, PSYCHOLOGY IS REAL, and assortative mating [due to modern transportation and mass co-mingling of boys & girls in coedumakashunal institutions of higher indoctrination] is allowing Personality-Disordered boys to mate with Personality-Disordered girls and [increasingly] produce outright psychopaths as offspring.

[A typical well-known pairing of PDs involves a boy with Narcissistic PD and a girl with Borderline PD.]

Point being that you might not be interested in Psychology, but Psychology is very, very interested in you, and Psychology now has a large & growing army of assortatively-mated kids who won't blink an eye at the thought of driving your bloodlines straight into extinction.

if some HK coders built a game involving shooting at PRC troops attacking HK demonstrators.

"The appeal to popularity is a logical fallacy."

Sure, but you aren't popular either so you lose on all counts.

This was on twitter a few days ago, the phrase "Quantum Burns" was used a bit because this was a new thing this guy was working on.. but that being censored?

Oh yeah, David Hahn... what was his Slashdot UID again?

This is why chemistry as a hobby gets a bad rap. Alarmist nonsense like this. If you have chemical you must obviously be making bombs or drugs. :(

only the military has the resposibility and accountability mechanisms in place to operate nuclear reactors. Civilians for some reason seem to make a mess out of it.

The appeal to popularity is a logical fallacy.

At jerking dicks, apparently, because we know Lennart to be a terrible developer who ignores user feedback and also standards.

Nothing in the OP is talking about anything like that. You seem to be making up points, claiming the OP talked about them, then debunking your own claims.

I think that general public would consider calling someone a crying liberal and someone else "ignorant" and "in a coma" count as personal insults.

I never said it was not political. Perhaps you got mixed-up and are replying to the wrong post?

Wait for the next Hundred Flowers Campaign https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

There are lots of great VPS companies that are in it for the long haul. OVH, Linode, Digital Ocean, Vultr and Ramnode are the ones I use.

That has been the strategy of China since the 1930s if not longer. They never really learned the lessons that Europe learned during world war 1 (and 2). It's not entirely a bad strategy: unifying a diverse population within China, which is not an easy task, though at the expense of creating enemies on the outside. It might be worth it, even if other strategies are better.

Actually everything can be expressed as 0 or 1, you just need to change the base you're working with.
