France to Be Site of World's First Nuclear Fusion
brad writes "The New York Times (free registration) is reporting that 'France won an international competition today to be the site of the world's first nuclear fusion reactor, an estimated $12 billion project that many scientists see as essential to solving the world's future energy needs.'"
If only /. editors could develop a method for fusing dups.
Try paying attention to your own site.
Falun Dafa is good!
Just fuse the original story and this dupe into a heavier-Z nucleus story.
make world, not war
ah, that same old song, except this time all on the same screen!
This is sectioned "Hardware", not "Science", so perhaps this time around we could have an actual discussion on fusion technology and the planned plant, not devolve into a flamefest between idiots.
Trust the Computer. The Computer is your friend.
I didn't have time to read the article the first time it was posted today. Thanks for the helpful dupe!
My only desire would be that the safety procedures at the new reactor are placed under the control of a third party - preferably a college frat house, its members well supplied with halucinogenic drugs, and who could control the reactor's safety computer systems (based on Windows ME) over the Internet from their own dormrooms via a non-secured link.

Can it be used to fuse the two articles into one?
:)
They are getting nuclear fusion or a reactor that uses it?
Since they already have EuroDisney, and this Fusion thingy might not pan out, the headline just as easily could have been:
France to Be Site of World's Second Largest Boondogle
This issue is a bit more complicated than you think.
Who can remember that long ago? I had to google it to verify that you were right. Luckily, it was still in Google's cache.
I, for one, welcome duplicate stories.

Looks like the half-life of a slashdot story is about 7.5 hours...
Culture is more than commerce
This is the news that doesn't end,
yes it goes on and on my friend,
some people started posting it not knowing it's a dupe,
now they'll continue duping it forever just because...
(repeat)
Circumcision is child abuse.
The French are going to have TWO nuclear fusion reactors. They are becoming a top world power! :D
...hydrogen bombs?
A Slashdotted colon is what you get when you eat too much Mexican food and get diarrhea.
I believe Amazon has already patented this idea, maybe you should send them a check for disclosing proprietary information.

When it is duped next time it better be in the "Games" section. I want to play a nice game of Sim Fusion Power Plant.

It sure seems that Timothy dupes posts on a recurring basis. "The Duplicator" should be his pen name.
Oh... wait... didn't someone post something about this already??? Silly me.
Web hosting that doesn't suck!Dreamhost
Yours didn't have a NY Times link. And yours wasn't at all misleading and sensationalist, either. To spice things up, maybe add a condescending sentence at the end, like so:
The world's first fusion reactor is soon to be completed in France. Nuclear Fusion is what powers the sun and hydrogen bombs. w00t!
And last, but not least, submit it under the wrong category, like say, Star Wars.
