Must have been the same guys who built Fukushima on a seismic area
prone to tsunamis.
Oh, the joys of shortsighted capitalism... ;-)

You think Mao or Stalin did any better? I submit they did far worse. The
Fukushima plant did a fairly thorough investigation and missed something
most others had missed, too. There were some really old geological
records
that suggested events such as that huge earthquake did indeed create
tsunamis as big as we saw. But basically they were caught flatfooted
despite what should have been adequate research. It was after the event
that the geological record came to the awareness of the authorities.
I know honesty and fairness about criticism are foreign to this list.
But
it's ever so much more effective if you criticize with genuine facts
rather
than things "everyone knows" that they learned from media which is prone
to selling their product not truth.
{O.O}
C'mon, everyone knows that well over 9,000 died at Fukushima because
of radiation and over 9,000 neighboring countries have been evacuated
permanently due to the incident and now look just like Mars. Damned
capitalists! That's what caused the Thai floods in the first place.
Capitalists would *never* be caught doing something that is
incidentally beneficial to initial low-wage earners like setting up a
factory in their country so they can get a job doing something other
than hoeing people-poo in rice paddies or protecting their investments
in the future by helping to rework the canal and earthworks systems
around Bangkok. Those are such terrible ideas that Hitachi and others
aren't looking into them right now, thank goodness.
On the other hand, everyone knows that not a single person died at or
near Chernobyl (ever), there was no coverup, everything was perfectly
contained and not a single long-term effect has been had in Belarus,
Ukraine or Russia proper, because of the genuinely far-sightedness
inherent in socialist doctrine as manifested in communism. Why, in
2012 the Soviet Union is going to send a nuclear safety re-education
crew to Japan to set them straight. I sure am relieved, being from
here and all.
And what does all this have to do with Fedora?
OT is okay, but you are all getting into dribble. I strongly suggest
that the biggest political argument you bring up in this list is whether
Gnome 3.x is the end of Western Civilization as we know it.
For those who are not in the physical domain of "Western Civilization",
be assured that it is a literary metaphor and nothing more than that ...
you can typecast it to Eastern, Northern, or Southern to make a match.
And, for what it is worth, if you really want to walk into the Japan
issue, all I can do is ask if you have given any money to help ...
