Slashdot Mirror

Idaho is the home of nuclear energy in the US. What better place to put the "clean, safe and too cheap to meter" waste materials than the location of the first nuclear energy plant? They still celebrate "Atomic Days" every July 17 in Arco, Idaho. And, I believe Idaho still has more nuclear power plants per capita than any state in the US.

So the question is not "why would the Department of Energy" want to store nuclear wastes in Idaho, it's really, "Why would the Department of Energy want to store nuclear waste anywhere else?"

They don't need to lobby because Apple zealotry is unfortunately strong enough as it is.

We've often discussed the consequences of the attack

The main consequence of the attack was that Bush/Cheney invaded Iraq. It's now over 8 years later, and we're still at war in Iraq. No WMD, no Binladen connection, or any of Bush/Cheney's other lies were ever proven anything but lies. Like "the war will pay for itself". The Iraq War has cost us well over $3 TRILLION. It has cost us almost 5000 dead Americans, over 100,000 wounded Americans, and hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded Iraqis. Not to mention the severe costs of Americans torturing so many people.

We'll memorialize 9/11/2001 for a long time. But 3/19/03? What's that? It's the date the US invaded Iraq. Nobody wants to talk about that, so the war never ends.

Notifications from US Bank and JPM have also gone out.

Had this happened on Bush's watch, he'd be excoriated (and deservedly so). But Obama? Not at all.

No political fallout at all. None.

slashdot is dead.

Not one pro-cracker comment. I don't endorse their behaviour personally, and I personally suffer when these guys attack our networks.

But along the lines of getting an insight that the linked article represents, I expected at least some readers here would advocate the pro-botnetters view.

But if they're there, they've been modded into oblivion.

This shows the harm that overpolicing, overconforming sheepism does to our world. The botnetters still exist, its just that their culture and the media/blogger culture do not intersect.

And so we have very little insight, and very little will occur to reconcile the two positions. This mirrors the "war on terror"-come-"war on porn" http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/02/18/06 4208 which is actually nothing but a continuation of the age-old war on dissent http://www.boiseweekly.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oi d%3A158729 by the powers of the day against those who would usurp them, for good or for bad.

Have fun twiddling your knobs, future slashdotters. You are 2 l33t 4 m3.

Don't forget the "hostile work environment" scam currently being used by Democrats and lawyers to eliminate anything in the workplace that might offend a person with extremely delicate sensibilities.

Riiiiiiiiiight.

A federal employee gets hassled by Homeland Security for antiwar stickers on his car. Is it a mistake, a new rule, or the part of a trend of the First Amendment being bullied out of existence? Read the transcript, read the rules and decide for yourself
