Slashdot Mirror

Your wrong. You confusing "proved" reserves with known reserves. "Proved" means we have already drilled there. If you include everything the geologists know about then we have the worlds largest oil reserves. "According to the Institute for Energy Research, we have more than 1.4 trillion barrels of technically recoverable oil in the U. S., which is enough oil to meet all our needs for the next 200 years."

My fellow supporters of market-friendly free software licenses (as opposed to the commie GNU crap) will be happy to hear that BitcoinJ has an Apache license, and hopefully it will be able to run on the Apache Harmony JVM in addition to the restrictive GPL one from Oracle.

The original Bitcoin client also has a Copyfree license, but it has some restrictive dependencies (ex. wx) and it's a pain to install on *BSD.

About that empty link in the last sentence of the summary - did the author intend to link to a story about commie thuggery against the Liberty Dollar?

Just an FYI; highly enriched fuel is used for naval reactors (aircraft carriers, submarines, etc.) Typical power reactors aren't designed to burn this in large quantities.

Here's a photo of the facility. That's a guard tower in the right foreground.

They kept a lid on it for 3 years. I note that this was NRC policy, as opposed to a company cover up. The NRC is typically rather open about these sort of events.

I'd suggest that whatever sexual activity takes place between consenting adults (or solo, given that this is Slashdot) is their own business.

Given the range of human behavior, I don't think I can totally agree with that. There need to be some limits.

These were voluntary acts, but I think most people would say they never should have happened. (Not for the squeamish)

When I moved to Asheville, NC a few years back I was pleasantly surprised to find that Moog, who work I had long admired, was also living here.

Good-bye, and thank you.

So I didn't RTFA.

I'm assuming its similar to this .

I just hope the solution was more inventive than doing the old theatrical movie stunt about using relative shifting of color information and celluloid glasses - which gives you depth information at the expense of color information. Spy Kids 3D just did this using a blue or green image for the left eye and a red image for the right.. That one's been around since the 40's. In both movie and book. Cute trick but it gives me headaches to see it for any length of time.

I've never really understood the whole anti-Cheney, anti-Rumsfeld, or even the anti-Ashcroft thing. Anti-Bush, I get; people think he's stupid. I don't; I think he's inarticulate and is willing to play dumb to get what he wants; but I do understand why they don't like him. Ashcroft is an Atty General, and they're notoriously anti-freedom (gads, just look at Reno). I think the subordinates are playing their parts in the government; for example, if you trust the AG to be a good little boy and not try to expand police powers of the government, you're a moron. The holder of that office should be hounded day and night by Congress, regardless of the party in power. They didn't do it under Clinton, though, and they aren't doing it under Bush.

Thank god that Pointdexter isn't a criminal or anything.
Then the TIO would be rotten from the
start .

I haven't seen it mentioned, but this is a Reagan era classification created by Former Admiral John Poindexter (of Iran-Contra scandal fame). Poindexter was hired back into the government by the current administration in February of this year as the new head of the Information Awareness Office. It's no surprise that this label is being misused again.

Good information about this at Dubya Report, Citizen Times and DS Star

Actually, for Ashcroft & Co., protecting gun rights is more important than fighting terrorists; Ashcroft wouldn't even allow law enforcement to check whether the 9-11 hijackers had purchased weapons; check it out.
