The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Radiation Levels?

Confused by all these new terms re the radiation coming out of the F Nuclear Plants in Japan?  Me to.  I keep waiting for someone to use REMs, which is the term I remember.

Here, from one of the cartoons I follow, when I follow them, is a chart showing relative sources of radiation.

Ah, a fellow XKCD fan!

Also, 100 REM = 1 Sv

Heh - should've clicked your REM link since it already points to Wikipedia :-P

This stuff gets so confusing, Sievert, Rad, Rem, roentgen, Curie, Gray...
