  3. Re:/. sums it up nicely for once on Corbis, DMCA, And John Kerry Photos · · Score: 5, Interesting
    The top 5 richest senators are:

    John Kerry, D-Massachusetts: $163.6 million
    Herb Kohl, D-Wisconsin: $111 million
    John Rockefeller, D-West Virginia: $81.6 million
    Jon Corzine, D-New Jersey: $71 million
    Dianne Feinstein, D-California: $26.4 million

    list

    so much for the 'rich republicans'

    more
    According to a recent article on cnn.com, there are 40 millionaires in the U.S. Senate, according to their own financial statements.

    Of these, the 5 richest are Democrats. Of the dozen richest, 10 are Democrats and 2 are Republicans. The richest (Democrat) senator is worth more than 6 times as much as the richest Republican senator.

    Finally, since the remaining 60 senators must be worth less than $1M each, we can compute that the 3 richest senators (all Democrat) are worth more the the rest of the Senate combined!

    the name skunkware is just a rip off of the infinitely more famous "Skunk Works" division of Lockheed Martin. They developed such things as the SR-71 blackbird, the F-117 stealth fighter, and the B-2 stealth bomber among others.

    "SPARC was invented in the labs of Sun Microsystems Inc., based upon pioneering research into Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) at the University of California at Berkeley. The first standard product based on the SPARC architecture was produced by Sun and Fujitsu in 1986; Sun followed in 1987 with its first workstation based on a SPARC processor."

  22. Re:Nuclear Power is the future on World Nuclear University Launched · · Score: 1
    I've never understood why reprocessing is never discussed in the US when it comes to nuclear power.

    Instead, it always about Yucca Mountain vs. storing it on-site. Personally, I live too close to Yucca Mountain and would like to see it's demise. Of course, my state would probably be next down the list for storage. This stems from some indians that want to nuclear store waste on their land. But their plan is to have it be in the open, above ground.

    But then, I don't see why the states with no nuclear power plants are the ones being considered for storing it.
