China isn't "ignoring" the problem, they're refining and stockpiling the thorium. If their molten-salt reactor research pays off, they'll have decades of supply on hand.
His primary "charity" is the Mormon church, which got 80% of what he gave away, which is really just a down payment on his personal planet in the afterlife.
I believe he said he's never paid less than 13%. After everything I learned about Mitt, I think that means he's never paid 13% except for those income tax returns he planned to show to shut up people who wonder why he can't be more like his father.
That is funny but the best part is me remembering when MySQL used to be mocked for not being ACID-compliant, robust, etc and the comeback was "well, it's really fast"
It has nothing to do with nuclear. Ontario's nuke capacity is about 11GW max but the lowest demand for any hour going back over 10 years is 13GW so the balance is made up by hydro, gas, wind and coal. The coal usage has been cut back significantly in the last 5-7 yrs and the max wind output has only recently exceeded 1GW.
From what I understand, the issue is the wind farms were given "must-take" status for their power which is stupid during low-demand hours but that's policy and fixable.
Oh, piss off with your regurgitated denialist spew, ABC (Anonymous Batshit Coward) I've been following the science behind climate change for 25 yrs and it's only getting more and more solid.
That's not to say there aren't still significant uncertainties but the groundwork has long been laid.
We have lost so much time to the cooligans that it's just sickening.
Not at the enterprise level - we've added 96GB of ECC RAM to each of our chassis for about $1700 each. Adding 3TB to our SAN, having the disks validated, new LUNs provisioned, etc, cost over $20k.
In my long-lost youth, I worked a number of low-paying jobs where we peons were basically treated slightly better than your average mangy stray. Taking sick days not only meant you were going to be looked down upon as weak, unreliable and lazy but it also meant you were highly likely to be given all the shit tasks no one wanted. I once was off sick for about 9 days, lost 10 pounds and took 2 months to make a full recovery. My managers obligingly gave me 3 weeks of snow shoveling, garbage and grease-trap cleaning and pot-scrubbing and being everyone's else go-fer.
I complained about it after 1 week and was asked pointedly if I would like to take a permanent vacation - this during a terrible recession, in mid-winter.
But I'm sure they still talk about my last night at that shithole.and I still give it the one-finger salute when I pass by.
I've met quite a few strippers who were well-educated but many played dumb until they were convinced that some guys, like me, prefer a woman who's comfortable being smart and naked at the same time.
I have several OCZ SSDs, the 2 oldest are 60GB Solid (JMicron) and I have to throw them out as they hang Windows when connected. But the 3.5 Vertex 2 120GB (well 107GB formatted) which is about 18 months newer than the Solids runs fine and I just got a deal on a Vertex 4 256GB which I hope will last for a good while - 5 yrs warranty.

If not, they can use it in CANDU-style reactors.
Does that reasoning also apply to countries (aka much bigger group of humans)?
That's may or may not be true but what would happen with a "Fair Tax" if it's really such a thing, would be a huge growth in the underground economy.
To which the US should reply, "we are $16 Trillion in debt, we don't have the means, so very, very sorry"
Well at most. In this day and age, a flat /16 network is not likely and they'll lose 2 addresses for every subnetwork they create.

+1 Informative +2 Insightful +3 Epic rant
Are you counting payroll taxes as well because that's a large burden on the working poor.
Sigh, 65536 not 65538
A Class B block would be 65538 addresses, not 4096.

Or you could get your girlfriend to run around naked.
Oh, wait, this is /.
Never mind and carry on.
You're confusing them with the Tea Party protests.

Time to go back under the bridge troll.
That cherrypicked crap has been denounced and debunked time and again.
Even Monckton doesn't resort to using it
But you fired them.
This guy gets another chance.
And his attitude isn't that unusual for men in charge. Gates has done it as has Jobs and Ballmer.
Mod parent up, please and thanks

Eric Lerner's Focus Fusion apparently does just that and also had no ( or very low ) neutron emission.
