Engineers commonly use fission to refer to induced fission and decay to refer to spontaneous decay. I was merely commenting because AK Marc is (self-admittedly) using dictionary definitions and not the definitions that engineers use. The goal of my comment to was clarify what engineers mean when the say fission.
>The decay was an atom splitting into two smaller atoms and energy, which is fission.
Fission in the context of engineering refers to the use of neutrons to force atoms to split, not to naturally decaying isotopes.
>The question was of why would fukishima need active cooling when passive cooling is so "easy" to do.
Because it wasn't designed to use passive cooling. Passive cooling requires your reactor to be designed to facilitate it (all gen 3+ are designed like thisâ"I believe the NRC refuses to certify anything that is nonpassive). Passive cooling refers to not requiring power to run the coolant pumps or anything. The AP1000 is designed to using convection of steam inside the containment building to cool the reactor.
If you are limiting the owner's bandwidth it is stealing. The "stealing" analogy only applies to everything beyond to router. Which if the owner pays by the (giga)byte does remove resources he paid for.
If you get a way to search through the ssids, yes. Think of the free internet possibilities. No longer does there need to be one technologically challenged person on your street, no you just need one in the city.
Joking obviously. Don't steal wifi; it messes up the owner's ability to stream porn.
The Shimane Nuclear Power Plant is a Boiling water reactor. This means it has two water loops in it. One is boiled by the reactor and turns a turbine. A second (probably from the sea in this case) is used to condense that steam and recycle it through the reactor. For any heat based power generation you need a final heat sink, usually the atmosphere (cooling towers) or a body of water for nuclear power plants; coal plants usually have an entirely open system and just go water source to air.
Every high school math teacher I've ever had maintained a collection of 15 or so TI-83s for the people who didn't buy a calculator, paid by the school. Of course Precalc and Calc were no calculators period.
I always thought the Streisand Effect was where attempts to censor/hide something brought more attention to it, in this case RIAA lawsuit increasing public awareness and use of bittorrent. This is more in lines with John Gilmore's quote, "The Internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it." It is impossible to stop something on the Internet.
As a upcoming freshmen let me make a few points.
3. The Green Giant has always been Shrek, not the big guy picking vegetables.
Shrek came out in 2001. I remember part of the first 11 years of my life. Including the Jolly Green Giant (not much but enough to never call Shrek the green giant).
4. They have never used a card catalog to find a book.
My first Elementary School had one, so did the public library back then.
8. Tattoos have always been very chic and highly visible.
That's pretty regional, it is only in the last few years they have caught on where I live
19. They have never understood the meaning of R.S.V.P.

21. Except for the present incumbent, the President has never inhaled.
???
27. Christopher Columbus has always been getting a bad rap.
Not in my school(s).
44. There have always been flat screen televisions.
Maybe, but how many people had them earlier in the 90's (my childhood).
51. Britney Spears has always been heard on classic rock stations.
She didn't really become popular till the late 90s. How'd she get on classics for my entire life when she didn't start until halfway through it?
53. Someone has always been asking: "Was Iraq worth a war?"
They're gonna be asking that a long time.
54. Most communities have always had a mega-church.
I let this slide because they used "most".

I do like FORTRAN77.
That analogy makes no sense.

Joke all you want. But a group in one of my engineering classes did this and we were received better than the group that did: .00something watts.
I guess marketing is easy.

And sonar, and scuba. Any others?
Easiest solution: make people show their work. Yeah test givers have to work to grade them, but it would probably give a more accurate score.
Does your phone default to the usually free and open wifi in airports?
Except solar is more limited in where it can go. A nuclear plant can go just about anywhere.
Most companies don't scale back nuclear at all for that reason (and it is the cheapest once the reactor is built)

And for me to play those I have to install codecs. Am I worth less than you?
You can get Admin in blackboard by running some javascript on your computer. Authentication is done client side via javascript.
More likely beige boxing will become more common. Why bother with cellphones, just plug into the lines of any nearby building.
If everyone could type then the large supply of labor would drive the salary of type heavy occupations down.
Europeans have lots of pictures of dragons, we won't believe them til we find bones.

And then they get a real sample of your DNA and the machine changes it so it matches the crime scene sample.
I've always wondered what if you answer no you don't understand? Do they have to keep trying to explain them?
Use the platter as source metal when electroplating something else?
It is different now. I just enrolled in RPI and have received a Rensselaer Identification Number (RIN) which is a 9 digit number starting with 660.
