  1. Re:Two dirty words harry reid on How Yucca Mountain Was Killed · · Score: 2

    Hanford will NEVER be shut down. Recall, that there were about a dozen nuke plants there making plutonium for the Army for decades. While there is a bunch of waste there, the big negative is that the site is adjacent to the Columbia River and hydrogelogically connected to the site. The upstream dam releases impact contaminate plumes within the Hanford Site. Hex Chrome is also a huge problem up there. CH2PRC (CH2MHILL) will go on forever running their pump and treat systems as they chase plumes throughout the site. Same with Rocky Flats and Savanaha River. Those three sites alone consume billions of dollars per year in cleanup. Yucca was the best choice.

    How about they let us see the list so we can judge for ourselves.

  3. Re:Those should be the days on Why Visual Basic 6 Still Thrives · · Score: 1

    But the reality was that every project seemed to follow the same cycle. 90% done in under a week and then the next two months was spent fighting with .net as you backtracked out of something it did poorly and then implemented it yourself.

    This is not surprising, and in fact expected, regardless of language chosen. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninety-ninety_rule

  5. Need a Space Vehicle on Report Warns of Space Junk Reaching a Tipping Point · · Score: 1

    We should create a new space vehicle that could go into orbit, pick up the space junk with a robotic arm, store it and shuttle it back to earth. We could call it the "Space Shuttle"

  6. Re:Why not just raise taxes on the rich? on Jeff Bezos Calls Sales Tax Requirements On Amazon Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    Taxes discourage the activity that they are taxing. The fact is that tax rates could be 100% and there would still not be enough money coming in.

  8. BPL is a failure on Powerline Networks Interfere With Spooks? · · Score: 1

    BPL (Broadband over Power Line) turns power lines into giant transmitting antennas. What could possibly go wrong? http://www.arrl.org/broadband-over-powerline-bpl http://www.arrl.org/news/city-of-manassas-to-end-bpl-service http://www.arrl.org/news/arrl-shows-ibec-bpl-systems-are-interfering-violating-fcc-rules Yes, these are are Ham Radio references because we are the ones using the spectrum that BPL interferes (sometimes on a shared basis with other services).

  9. Kinda Ironic/Karmic on 77 Million Accounts Stolen From Playstation Network · · Score: 0

    Sony was really keen on protecting their digital media rights... user information? Not so much. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootkit_scandal

    Maybe they did hear about WBD, but not WRD (World Restore Day). Damn that write only media!

  14. Expensify? on MySql.com Hacked With Sql Injection · · Score: 1

    Do you think Expensify will mind if I keep the mySQL experience on my resume?

  15. Should we be surprised? on US Competitiveness Chief Immelt's GE Tax Bill: $0 · · Score: 0, Troll

    NBC, MSNBC, CNBC are all mouthpieces of the Obama administration. GE will probably/or already has land(ed) contracts in health care information systems, solar, rail and even the "smart" odometers for cars. Not to mention the TARP money that GE Capital got after the converted themselves to a bank. "Imagination at work" - by some lobbyists and tax accountants. Disgusting! Any word on what Jack Welch thinks?
