Get mostly linux machines for the mainstream work, and get a few windows systems for the jobs that really need windows. People will have to learn the nuts and bolts of data transfer between the systems, but that is actually a pretty useful professional skill.
There becomes a measurable, yet acceptable level of environmental consequence
That level for nuclear generated electricity would be zero, considering that we have multiple other options available. If we had to choose between whale oil and nuclear, it would be a different story, but face it, between solar, wind, and reduced consumption, we simply don't need to take the risk
with only 2 accidents of major note. In both instances we have learned what to look for
Whatever, man. Vermont Yankee's cooling tower collapsed because its owners were too stupid to realize that metal corrodes over time. Did they learn anything? No, they just started dumping the extra heat into the river, killing countless fish. Were any lessons learned here? Nope.
The major cost of a uranium plant is water for cooling. The cost of uranium consumed is a rounding error.
Nobody has an actual solution for what to do with the existing radioactive waste, and nobody has even the beginning of a clue as to what the actual cost is going to be, so pretending that it's not going to cost anything is disingenuous at best.
If your read the article you will see that Chinese workers are not as malleable and conformist as they once were, and are now demanding more pay.
I've been reading history and I see that corporations take their show all over the world to the place where they can fool the locals into taking the least possible pay. They put up factories and pump money and pollution into one spot until the people smarten up, and then they move on to somewhere else. 100 years ago they put up factories in the Northeast US, dumped pollution into the rivers, and built enormous factories. Now the jobs are gone but the pollution and the dead factories remain behind. I'm sure in another 100 years you will see the same pattern repeating itself over and over again as industry systematically rapes the whole planet in search of cheaper labor and cheaper resources.

if this is an example of your ability to critique, then you're the one who belongs in the kitchen
How about dump it right back were the (radioactive) Uranium was mined in the first place?
Because
1 it's been purified and concentrated countless times
2 it's pretty likely to end up in the aquifer

Do not open, then no problems.
good luck with that

So far, I've not found anybody I can take seriously....
The feeling is mutual
There has to be an acceptable level of imperfection in the human hands that exploit nuclear power generation.
Yeah, that's the ticket, keep telling the nuclear fuel to be more forgiving of stupid humans, that's how we prevent accidents.
Yeah, you're enabling the websites to make more money.
Do you deliberately drive recklessly in order to maximize the profits of your life insurance vendor, or do you drive carefully? just curious
as long as the ads are not too terrible.
because you can see the malware with your magic sixth sense?
they should be putting forth the stuff that is at least marginally healthier as an alternative.
exactly, corporate control of drinking water is the next frontier of profit
Maybe the soft drink companies should think of something new. Very lightly sweetened
the whole point of soda is to sell sugar. take out the sugar and now they are competing with the free water faucet and they will just lose
People are going to continue to drink something, how about the beverage industry being innovative
somehow you think beyond all hope that there is some point to innovation in beverages, as if water needs improvement
I suspect the real attack would be to block the update that fixes whatever the latest bug is
Even better would be an attack that un-blocks a borked microsoft update and actually allows it to be installed, crashing the victim's systems.
Tariff the hell out their stuff until it becomes economical to build their crap in the US
Yeah, encourage them to do business in other countries instead of the US, that's the ticket.
scott walker is working hard to change that
Stereotypes exist for a reason.
justification for racism
Too many unions in the USA - which is why the jobs went to China in the first place.
corporations in the US are tired of paying for worker's health insurance, they go to other countries where the government pays for it
the whole thing becomes one sided and companies can't compete.
But management should be allowed to fire every single one of them and replace with non-union workers.
yeah, how soon we forget that we do all this stuff to enrich coroporations, screw the people if they don't want to play along

This is nothing more than a pre-emptive strike against the rising war on sugar.
yes indeed the people at coca cola have nothing but our best interests at heart, sugar dissolved in carbonated water is actually health food
they've got a perfectly reasonable alternative path. Coca-Cola has _two_ popular zero calorie drinks in its main product line,
So the only two choices are: sugar water, and aspartame water? There is really nothing else to drink?
i still think they're better than consuming an equal amount of the sugary equivalent.
Again, really, there is nothing else to drink, besides sugar water and fake sugar water?
freud wants his cigar back
Coke and Pepsi have been around well over a hundred years.
100 years ago coca cola contained actual cocaine, it probably did promote weight loss
