They don't have to go anywhere. Most communication will continue to happen through gossip, as it should. Facebook is stupid because it has become a social obligation to "friend" people on it, and like you pointed out, way too hard to set up

It's strange that people will pay $5 for a cup of Starbucks for the convenience and atmosphere, but insist on saving $3/year by going with the most obnoxious DNS registrar. You couldn't pay me enough to have to put up with the GoDaddy bulls

Domains are an asset and very easy to justify paying for if you have the money. It's not like they just burned half a million dollars. If the company folds they can sell the name. Also the name is vague enough to encompass any pivots. It's

Lots. It's only chronically negative people who believe that most smiles are false. Some people just enjoy being alive and so they smile. Even polite smiles are still polite and show concern for the emotions of the other. When Russians glow

My point is that Mormons are unique among religious people. When it comes to sex they are in their own category. You won't see a baptist joking about anal sex. Anyway, joke is definitely ruined now :p

While I believe your implication is correct, the public is not going to believe it. When it comes to nuclear energy, perception is more important than reality.

If society considers the loss of life acceptable given the benefits, fine. But I don't think it does. It's not just engineers who are responsible, in any event.

In the post-mortem this will probably be the lesson. How many times are you going to hear: "The issues were easily avoidable with proper upgrades, but it was decided that the cost of upgrading the plant was not justified given the low proba
