This is very helpful.. I think the problem most people have is the complete lack of any sense of scale when it comes to radiation.. I mean, without looking at something like this, how is anyone expected to know anything about what safe le

Oh, I think I misunderstood your wording. But in reality, the theocracy in Iran doesn't hold absolute power.. there is some semblance of a democracy and at the end of the day the government does face the scrutiny of its people and the

Well, the text editor has just about as much UI as this calculator thingy, actually I'd say more.. That's why it came to mind as a good comparison. > My previous example "blender" only passes because the interface is

I personally don't use it but I think the Atom[0] text editor is pretty attractive. Really there are plenty of examples, it's not impossible, you can make good looking apps with Qt without too much effort. [0] https://

The military poured a trillion dollars of tax payer money into the development of one aircraft that can do everything.. don't tell me I'm being manipulated by reports showing that the F-35 in fact does not do everything.

It's just so not important.. from the content of the guys submission it strikes me that English may not be his first language.. he's here asking for help with a problem and the top response he gets is some ass berating him over

Shit, between my full-time job, commute to work, trying to feed myself, generally dealing with life, I barely have enough time to get 6 hours of sleep.. I'd love to dip my feet in the water, but doing that with a full time job is just

That was my thought too when I read the claim about neck injuries. Does a helmet really increase the risk of neck injury, or does it just increase the likelihood of surviving the blow to the head that caused the neck injury? Wearing a hel

Well as far as the cheap part goes, my thinking was that these buildings definitely already have internet service in the first place, may as well just utilize that.. I supposed you make a point about reliability, but then again they'r

The radio system made sense back in the 80s before cheap, reliable internet access was widely available, but I feel like IP would be a much more practical communications solution today.. especially considering the fact that the 2-way radios

I've never used Whatsapp, but maybe they inform you whether or not the other end supports and is using encryption? It would certainly be easy for them to do something like that, hopefully they do.
