The FCC should prohibit phones from being tied to carriers. Pick your phone, pick your carrier. Keep your number if you switch. They also need to outlaw the requirement of data plans. No plan, no data...that simple. I can get by on wifi.
If they put as much effort into innovation and research as they do this censorship technology, they wouldn't have to steal other technology from everyone else.
It doesn't matter how safe they are, the forces of extreme environmentalists and Luddites will say No! No! No!
Already idiots in Congress, without knowing anything more than the hyperbolic news reports, are calling for shut downs and "slow downs" and endless Congressional Investigations where people who know about Nuclear Power try to convince people that don't that you can't burn a hole in the earth straight through to China
Well then I suppose you won't squawk when someone denies you a job because you happen to believe something they don't or the other way around. Because this kind of approach can't be limited to just Creationism vs. Evolution. You may think it can, but the principal you are supporting is that you can judge someone’s job performance based on what they believe irrespective of what the subject matter is.
If you are a political science professor and the school you are applying for has a tendency to favor Marxism, but you don't...too tough.
If you are an Economist and reject Keynesian economics as hogwash, then you better hope the college you are applying to doesn't embrace it.
What is most interesting is your statement that if they have a PhD and they are a creationist, then they must a brain defect or cheated or lied or the degree itself is bogus. You are doing the very same thing you accuse them of doing, making a statement of fact with no supporting evidence.
Can you be an Art Professor and believe that Van Gogh was a hack? Or that Michael Angelo would have failed the Snoopy drawing test found in the back of magazines?
If someone can teach the subject according to the curriculum, then what they believe is irrelevant. Can a Physicist believe in Creationism, but not a biologist? Can an Engineering believe in creationism but not a Botanist?
If someone is already a scientist and then it is revealed that they are also a creationist, does that mean they fooled all of their previous professors and the folks who awarded the PhD?
Do you really want to start evaluating someone’s job qualifications based on their personal beliefs?
Your position is with up there with the college who wouldn’t award a woman a degree in social work, after having completed all the work, because they found out she was a Republican.
Tens of thousands of people were probably killed by the quake and the resulting tsunami.
But anti-nuke activists will consider this the worse tragedy and use it at every chance to fight against the building of more modern and much, much safer designs.
...under the guise of "it's like a fingerprint" they are fishing for other crimes that can be attached to the arrestee...
Do you really see this as a bad thing? Is finding someone's DNA at a crime scene not like finding their fingerprints? I think it would be even more likely to be significant because in most cases it would come in the form of some bodily fluid such as blood or semen which would probably be very relevant to the crime.
I don't see them looking for DNA on glasses or cigs or other items in the same way the dust for prints due to the expense. So just having been at a crime scene before it was a crime scene is unlikely to get your DNA in some database.

Baed on your attitude, I'm surprised that anyone cares about you...even your mother.

But then, maybe they stole this too.

The media has been nothing than a huge cluster fuck of hyperbole and made up speculation under the guise of "experts".
If they can't even get fundemental information like this correct, how are we to trust any other hyperbole, I mean"news", they publish?
It's not meant to be sealed for 1000 years. When it's exhausted the fuel it goes back to Toshiba for recycling.
Smack!, right upside the head.
I wonder if the Hoover Dam could have gotten insurance.
Solar and wind will never be able to reliably provide base load capacity. By all means, proceed, but don't block other technologies either.
Maybe you should consider that you responded to a post from yesterday, when perhaps at the time what he said was the most recent information.
Nothing is convincing for non-supporters of nuclear energy.
Huffingtonpost, DailyKOS and Dummy Underground are to the Left.
Fast breeder reactors can burn that waste leaving material with a half life of mere decades.
Both the reactors and the houses are built using fifty year old technology American technology. Therein lies the problem.
Fixed.
The expensive is driven mostly by lawyers.

According to TFA this was caught during testing.
The problem I see is all the equipment flying around that was built and certified BEFORE this testing was mandated. And it's much more than you think.
Do they purge your fingerprints from the system in the same circumstances?

As long as they have some Tapioca.
I think you would be better off arguing with your dog than people like cinderellamanson.
You will get the same dumb looks and incoherent noise, but at least your dog will wag its tail and chase a ball.
