I am not a lawyer either but it appears from 14 CFR 250.1 - Definitions that crew are not (see zero fare definition):
Confirmed reserved space means space on a specific date and on a specific flight and class of service of a carrier which has been requested by a passenger, including a passenger with a “zero fare ticket,” and which the carrier or its agent has verified, by appropriate notation on the ticket or in any other manner provided therefore by the carrier, as being reserved for the accommodation of the passenger.
Zero fare ticket means a ticket acquired without a substantial monetary payment such as by using frequent flyer miles or vouchers, or a consolidator ticket obtained after a monetary payment that does not show a fare amount on the ticket. A zero fare ticket does not include free or reduced rate air transportation provided to airline employees and guests.
I work at a nuke plant as a system engineer. One of my systems are the reactor recirculation pumps, these type of pumps. I know for a fact there is no way hackers could "data storm" my pumps and there is extreme doubt in my mind that the same thing could happen at Browns Ferry. The pumps digital control system isn't even near any outside network.
However, I will fully put the blame on the PLCs. Those little suckers come in handy but if you don't completely understand every line of code and every instruction they can f_ck you over.
I also love how they say "well if you can't prove it wasn't, then it must have been".
I would like to correct something you said. While dose rates on irradiated fuel are substantially lower after 40 years they aren't exactly negligible and they are not 1000 times less.
I don't mean to be rude but you all have no idea what you are talking about at all nuclear plants pay their own insurance and its determined buy their deductible (the number of days they can be off line before they get a check). The insurance company is called NEIL, look it up. I know my plant pays like 10 million a year in insurance, and thats just my plant. NEIL must keep like 6 billions in assets at any given time to cover two severe accidents.
Disclaimer - Obviously, I work for a nuke plant, and I went to training on this very thing. The new insurance in energy bill that you all have been talking about is for plant building insurance. So that if you are building the plant and construction is stopped due to protests or regulatory stuff.
The way the FCC keeps companies from suing them is that if you do go to court against the FCC you can't aquire any more radio stations or tv stations because you still have outstanding fines, which are the fines that are being contested and until the case is settled you effectively can't expand so it's really not worth it for companies to fight, it's more advantageous for them to just pay the fine.
Um no. No matter how energetic a gamma ray is its never going to have any mass. And why has the parent been modded as interesting it's factually incorrect.
So basically what you are saying is if I am working out in my backyard and I leave my front door unlocked and some one robs my house while I am in the backyard it's my fault. Obviously by your logic since I didn't secure my house to its full potential it is my fault he robbed it.
Um, thats a no on the other 49 states, Kentucky doesn't, neither do Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, and probably most of the rest. I am pretty sure I read somewhere California was the only one that fingerprinted but there might be one or two more. A Bugg
Last time i heard bill and his wife had given away over 40 billion dollars, now thats second hand but even it even half right i would say he is giving more than his fair share.
Liar, liar, pants on fire. I go to Wash U and the school is a god awful money pit, and the professors just aren't that great(they are smart yes, but many are lazy as shit). I will be shit struck surprised if I get a great job coming out of here.
I am a senior ME major HOPING to get 40-45k as a starting salary. I figure set my sights low and anything above that I get will be gravy.
And you do sound like one of the drone admissions people that work here, I can't fathom why they get paid a salary from my tuition money to bullshit all day.
What are you talking about, if you die the school forgives your loans as long as they are staford or perkins. And if they are run of the mill loans, if no one else cosigned for them the bank gets nothing. A Bugg
Yeah Bush is a business man but he's a crappy one. He had to be bailed out of Harken energy remember. Yeah he made an alright chunck out change from his rangers shares but whoopty shit. That doesn't make him a good business man. Then there's Arbusto energy his first oil company that went bust and got merged to save his butt along with Spectrum 7 which then got swallowed into Harken. Trust me he has tried and failed at business, I wouldn't put much stock in his business sense. The people around him on the other hand.... A Bugg
Honestly, I am very glad we are going to be at least planning on going back to the moon and too mars (hopefully this isn't just an election year ploy). But personally I wonder what we are going to do from 2010 to 2015 in terms of manned space vehicles. I think that if we just gave NASA a kick in the pants they could easily roll out a new vehicle by 2010, and hopefully they will not only get that kick but will be given the money to actually make it happen.

In this paper you can see what the does rates are 1, 5, 10, and 50 years after being removed from the core.
And trust me 8,640 REM on contact after 50 years is a ton. It's a lethal does for most people in five minutes.
Don't take this to mean that I am anti-nuclear, actually I am the exact opposite. I work in a nuke plant. I just wanted to get the facts out.
It's 25 not 35 when car insurance dramatically decreases.

Sure blame the "new job" for all of your warts. I think we all know the REAL reasons you got all those warts.
Yeah except replace million with billion and it was some congressman not Reagan, but i think it was back in the 80's.
