Its stored on site. At almost every plant. As well as all the hot tools and other stuff that can never leave. They generally have an incredible selection of tools inside the fence there, and they can never leave, but if your pocket knife gets a little too much exposure.... its stays, so the tool collection just grows and grows.
Thats just wrong. For something as dangerous and deadly as a nuclear reactor, you practically want a monkey to be able to figure out what they need to do.
You DO NOT require someone with a PHD to make the plant safe. You practically want the plant to be idiot proof and scram at the first blush of trouble.
By making it require (rare) operators that understand the plant as a systemic whole, you make them irreplaceable, and from a design for long long long term safety point of view thats just wrong. Over time, understanding of large complex systems at plants degrades, and with a plant lifetime of 20-50 years you will see whole generations change in the lifetime of the plant.
(Although probably not this year, as companies are [or should be] looking for ways to cut back on expenses.)
FUCK THAT. If your company is doing well enough, and thinks that investing in some high profile advertising will increase their profits, more power to em.
This attitude that we should all be looking for ways to cut back is just fear mongering bullshit. If no one takes risks and tries something new different or risky, then progress is retarded. You want the economy to revive? Correct the problems in the laws and then sit back and let business digest the changes. After a cycle of digestion, investment and profit-seeking will resume and the upswing will begin.
Its all this long period of uncertainty and change that businesses and banks fear, so they hoard what they have, afraid tomorrows law change, or tomorrows sweeping health care reforms will put their business model at risk. Make it cut and dried, fix whats broke and move on.
In The solution suggested here you will wind up with some really nice areas to live, and some areas where you cannot walk the streets. There are people out there who just dont care, and by natural processes you will wind up with groups composed entireley of them.
Then there are the guys who want to see the world burn... who will move in and take over the poorly run enclaves.
I run XP in parallels on a mac. Same way. After I installed and configured my machine, I backed up the image, and said "lets see how long this takes" and one year later, its still going strong.
No Spybot, No antivirus, and I surf and do lots of stuff on that Vmachine.
The key is providing a compelling upgrade reason. Be it features, stability, security, performance or some new program that is a business "must have" but is only available on the new operating system.
Every one of my clients that asked about upgrading to Vista, I asked them "why?" and none had a reason except to stay up with the times. When I pointed out that they could do everything they NEEDED to do now with the operating system they had, and boom, none of them spent the money.
Vista provided NO compelling reason to upgrade and several compelling reasons NOT TO UPGRADE.
screw that. I paid DELL for computer and shipping. If the computer does not show up, that is strictly DELLS problem and not mine.
I buy a minor shitload of equipment. probably over 300K a year. Anything that never arrives, if the vendor is unhelpful, I just do a chargeback which AMEX is very helpful with.
Most times the problem is just some screwup somewhere, and their problem handling is very poor. So I just cancel the order/chargeback and reorder and it arrives just fine. No need to get freaked out about it, but it is THEIR problem not mine.
They provide an artificial reef and are little islands of life. Fishing around them is a full time industry in the Gulf of Mexico.
Most of them are very very clean and scrupulous about keeping the sea uncontaminated... as in everything a few bad apples have given the whole barrel a bad image.
Its only minor until the CIA or the NSA decides its in the interests of national security to force the appearance of a childs father by locating the child through that national DNA database and taking them into custody and threatening to do bad things.
not to mention having velcro maintain its good properties while in space... vacuum and wild temperature variations tend to make alot of materials behave strangely.
I mean I live in the Southern US, home of the redneck troglodyte... and I dont know anyone who feels that strongly about this, but evidently somewhere there exists a serious reserve of "brefoot pregnant in the kitchen shut up and get me a beer, honey you need to be quiet the menfolk are talking" types.
I've met plenty of people that are unwilling to listen to a good answer from a young person because the young person is young and by extension inexperienced.
That is the killer right there. Most older successful people know that everyone is a resource, and LISTEN to everything. Anyone that refuses to listen to someone because of some preconceived notion fails the test.
Usually what older folks bring to the team is the experience of their own mistakes, not just in their chosen field, but in life. People skills that successful people develop over time are super-valuable and can be the glue that holds a team together.
They are not Laws until they are made so through the legislative process. Upon this occurrence, I respect them as such, and if I disagree with their basis, I campaign against them and work for their reversal.
Your idea that we should artificially raise the price of fuel to teach a lesson... well I disagree with that.
Your methods of communicating your ideas, presuming ignorance and puerile behavior, presuming your own intellectual superiority with statements such as:
"Remember: try to read through the tone and actually address the issues coherently this time."
see these things ARE what I take issue with. I dont necessarily agree with your ideas, but I respect your having and espousing them. I do not agree with your presumption that anyone who disagrees with you is ignorant and uneducated.
You presumed my education lacking with your statement of: "go (back?) to highschool" Well feller, high school was a long time ago, as was college, with the associated degrees. The practical school of life, starting, owning and operating a business and raising a family has taught me as well that your condescending tone gets you off on the wrong foot with most folks.
But perhaps you were just in a pissy mood, or I was when I read it. Probably so.
But you strike me as a holier-than-thou which just rubs a man the wrong way, and that may be what you are aiming for.
The consequences of everyone doing what they want would be the country we live in. Improvement is always possible, and I applaud your goals if not your methods. Shout your message from the rooftops, its a fine thing to believe so heartily in improving the world we live in.
Unfortunately, you choose to see most people as too stupid to comprehend your message, and goals, that is evident in your tone and manner of spreading your ideas.
You propose to dictate to people how they should go about their lives, telling them how they should do things. This directly contradicts with the Declaration of Independence and several articles of the Bill of Rights.
DoI: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
I would think that it's pretty obvious by now that letting people do whatever they want simply doesn't lead to a functional society (I guess that may seem condescending if it's news to you, in which case you probably deserve condescention).
Your condescending tone and willingness to dictate to others what they should or shouldnt do, IS the issue.
So you admit you are against the freedoms this country was founded upon? You are free to campaign against them as you do... after all this is still a free country, for now. But I am still free to speak out against tyrants like you who would dictate to others their actions.

Dear Lord... Just look at all the crap you had to do!
And which one will you want to put YOUR kid in?
THIS is the real reason why this article is meaningless

lets see, coz in Vista I get asked aLOT for UAC approval. On Macs, much much less.
all overusing the approval feature does is condition the user to clicking "go right ahead and ram that big cylindrical object up my arse."
Nope,

Dude just do a chargeback and re-place your order.

Yeah thats why France is such a horrible place to live, seeing as how they get about 80%+ of their energy from Nuclear power.
Get a grip. Ever been to an actual oil rig?

That evidence was probably never brought up at trial.

Tht would be cool if they worked in stuff like that to the movies

If so you succeed quite admirably.
Thanks so much for letting everyones free will slide, letting us keep our freedom and liberty, within reasonable limits.
We just pray we dont offend you or hurt the planet too much.
