1. guess DOS was some extortion attempt? meh, been readign about such for some time, SOBS attacking a site who won't pay "vigorish" ugh

2. Alex yeah the energy companies have been actively stopping the use of microgeneration of power by users, so they corporations can stay rich

if we had wanted revenge for 9/11 we should have invaded Pakistan and Suadi Arabia which is where the SOBS really came form/got fudned, trianed etc, but Saudia ha soil and Pakistna has nukes so hey....

3. Japan needs pwoer, most of the population lives on the coast, for many reasons, that must change as this tsunami shows, however, making inland areas more habitbale would be huge civil engineering work requiring centuries of effort.

Japan has been hit twice by similar massive tsunamis in the past, last being about 860AD, now some idiots "beliebve" in "bean counters", and think that oh that 1000 year risk isn't worth botheirng about...they are morons! towns and cities exist for centuries, millenia! You HAVE to think on those time scales.

Putting a nuclear reactor that low on the coast of an earthquake zone is therefor CRETINOUS.

USA West coast hs low risk of tsunamis as San ANdreas and most faults are inland and of wrong type etc to create a tsunami. But building reactors near such faults is again, cretinous (and I mean "near" as is in 50 to 150 miles away depending on type/severity of fault and asociated risks, not within a mile or less!!)
