So we trust no-one? There is a healthy level of scepticism but I think you are taking it a bit far.

The data is what has been actually recorded by Tepco and others and is certainly reported in good detail without being fudged or sensationalised like the mainstream media is doing.

This is especially true if the government requires zero radioactive material to appear in the sea water. So any accidental discharge is going to have some scary multiplier over the near zero levels.

The media also seem to also like the Becquerel scale along with cm³ instead of m³ to make the numbers extra scary.

I found an interesting article that describes some safe levels and also the calculation of Becquerel to Sieverts. http://mdn.mainichi.jp/mdnnews/news/20110321p2a00m0na006000c...

At least put that its an old April fools in the title! That way I can quickly decide if its worth reading or just skimming.

Considering that KeePass 2.14 is significantly better and runs nicely with mono on Linux, I don't see the need for this news item.

I have used Ubuntu Desktop (Lucid & Maverick) everyday for years now and certainly don't have any stability issues, I don't see how changing to Mint (based heavily on Ubuntu) would affect stability.

I also have to ask what is this immature software as default you talk about?

Off-topic: Thought I would mention that I dropped Readability for Readable. What's great about Readable is that it allows for a fully user customised layout.

I agree with the sentiment on fad diets however these drinks both contain drugs and put your health at risk from potential caffeine or alcohol poisoning. This experiment will also certainly ruin your sleep.

The simple rule for the consumption of food or drugs is moderation.

A balanced diet is not difficult!

Its a no-brainer to me that if you are worried enough about your health to simply change your diet to add a bit more fruit and veg rather than spend money on magic pills without any medical or scientific basis.

this comment also echos my thoughts: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1367101

There is a lot of scientific research that shows that a balanced diet is all that is required to provide all the vitamins the body requires and that supplements at best are a waste of money and at worst in large doses can cause harm.

The only exception would be for people that have specific conditions that a doctor suggests supplements for.

Edit: I though i would add one example i read recently about Omega 3 that really stands out: http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20627601.400-omega3-fi...
