Today, only eight countries are known to have a nuclear weapons capability. By contrast, 56 operate civil research reactors, and 30 have some 440 commercial nuclear power reactors with a total installed capacity of over 360 000 MWe (see table)
Article defines civil research reactors as "a source of neutron beams for scientific research and the production of medical and industrial isotopes."
I still think that Apple is slowly making the move to put OS X on generic PC boxes (and eventually more OEMs).
No No No.. And No.. One of Apples primary software advantages is the limitedness of its hardware. It makes near perfect drivers for its very few ranging supported hardware. Thus is the primary reason it never crashes. If Apple suddenly had to support a wide range of hardware, it would be nowhere near as stable.. Or else you would need a kernel compelation stage, not exactly something appealing to the Apple fanbase.

Sorry, I found the doom editor to be really easy. Though in my sadness you did catch me in a partial lie. I've never used the duke editor, though I assumed it had to be someway between doom and quake..
No its a subconcious thing, for some reason holding something to one side, causes your peripheral vision to lesson. Not by much, and if your trying to use your peripheral not at all. But the subconcious peripheral is definatly less. I'll have to do experiments on others someday but I know its true for me.
I'm sure a nuclear plant would devalue your property much less than a coal plant. So a rundown coal plant would be a great site. As well they are building coal plants currently, without much problem, so this obviously can't be as huge of a factor as you make it.
That said...can I talk to you about the risks of having a coal mine under your town...
EXACTLY, the coal plants are also shielded from the risk, as well as dam power, and just about any other form of power. If we forced all power companies to absorbe all the risk, we would have almost no power companies whatsoever. Sure maybe that should have been the case all along and we'd be living in a totally different society, dependant on a lot less power. But its a bit late for that now.
And we would sell uranium to Iran if they would buy it. We are trying to encourage these countries to maintain responcible power production, and discourage them from enriching their own uranium at the risk of them producing weapons grade uranium.
Would selling uranium to Iran, Syria, North Korea or $other_evil_axis_country constitute a proliferation risk? They can already obtain the uranium, its the weapons grade vs power grade that is the issue. If we can get countries that have already shown responsibility with nuclear technology to sell power grade uranium, then countries like Iran have no excuse to be reprocessing this uranium. We've been trying to get Iran to buy enriched uranium for a while but they refuse to do it, instead they want to enrich it themselves.. Thus is the danger, the ability to enrich.. Not the uranium itself.
As other poster said, your paranoid. Also while it may seem that nuclear acceptace leads to nuclear weapon prolifiration. Its not nessesarily that obvious. A country like the US that already has nuclear weapons would have absolutly no effect on proliferation by building more nuke power plants. While a country like Iran might build power plants as a guise to allow them to build weapons, its more of a problem of causation. Meaning the desire for weapons (and energy) leads them to create nuclear plants. The desire for nuke energy, has never caused anyone to build a nuclear weapon. Thats just silly.
So should we penalise people for not having good judgement or decent skills when they are only needed rarely?? I mean it is impossible to remove all accidents from the road anyway....
YES! Then those people would be crying for decent public transportation, and we might actually get it!!! And yes its not possible to remove all accidents, but you could elimanate driver caused accidents by a good 90% by having tougher standards. Obviously deers would still run into the road, and the occasional freak noones fault accidents would still happen, but those are the exception and not the rule.
I don't know, something about holding something to your head causes a distraction. I can't explain it, but try holding a cellphone to your head with it off. Just hold it there while you are driving. It blocks your peripheral vision on both sides. I guess its a subconscious thing I don't know.
I had problems at first with my PVR 250 cards recording blank 0 byte files occassionally which I eventually traced down to an IRQ conflict with an LPT port.
BZZZ you lose the Tivo Vs Myth for the average consumer.
Shit, they've been calling their chips P4s for how long.. Through how many architecture changes? Intels naming schemes are purly marketting, never about specs or architecture.
Have you seriously ever designed a level for Duke and Quake. Sure you can do so much more with Quake but it takes 4 or 5 times longer to develop anything. These people wern't interested in graphics just a computerize maze.. Realistically they should have used Doom which in my opinion is the easiest level editor in existance. Or mabye Wolf3d, though that might have been pushing it.
$25/month to rent the unit? Thats extremly expensive. Look at TiVos website you can get a year of service and the box for a one year contract for 19.95/month
I still think the best safty feature is the one I invented. A very sharp pin from the dashboard just a few inches from the drivers left shoulder. You'd drive much more carefully with such a "safty" device. And it probably wouldn't kill you unless your a bleeder.:)
Not going to bother looking for it, but the new lexus has a system where the front end is designed to push you up and onto the hood instead of knocking you over, then the hood pops up an inch to cushion your fall. Seriously.. Can't wait for a family to sue because johnny still died.
I don't know, generally a place with happy employees will provide you with a good product. On the other hand, a place with neutral employees who arn't happy but not unhappy generally produce worse work than unhappy employees. This is mainly because part of being happy isn't just getting paid well and having a voice, its also having interesting work to do that you enjoy. Something sorly lacking in many jobs. And I doubt this place is any better. But then again, compared to the poverty of their country they are probably VERY happy to be working there.
Cost more? Really I don't remember that, though I can imagine it would have in its first few weeks on the shelf which is the norm. I was never much involved in the CS crowd, but do remember showing people who were stupid enough to buy CS how to obtain and use their license for HL.

Brain Age comes out today Have you checked your local EB? The already have used copies from all the ones that Nintendo has given away..

Best way to conserve land is leave it alone.. Something hippies can almost never do to something they think that can be improved.. :)

Plug it in where? The only connector on the back of my TV is a 15-pin D-sub connector.
15 pin D-sub?? Hell I have one RF input, and it works uphill both ways. You insensitive clod.
+1 Troll!!
