". The more dangerous it is, the more useful it is." Not really. The really dangerous high level waste is not good for fuel or even hard to deal with. The hotter the material the shorter the half life. The medium level stuff is where the fuel elements are the issue with the waste is the complex decay and absorption events in the spent fuel rods.
They will run them until a replacement is ready. They have already started on the design for the replacement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... And they will not retire the first Ohio until the replacement is in service
Because for the second time in my life the US has retired a working manned system long before the replacement was ready. Can you imagine the Have retiring all the nuclear subs in service before the next generation was in service? We did it with Apollo and we did it with STS. It just shows that manned space flight and space flight in general are not priorities which IMHO SUCKS!!!!!!!
That is just it. The Impala is really nice and a lot cheaper than CTS but some will want the CTS over a Chevy. The Tesla S is much like an Audi, BMW, Jaguar, and Benz in that it is desirable to some people.
But a Chevy Impala is even less nicely equipped. The Tesla S has a better infotainment system. Will never need an oil change, and you can fill it up at home. For a commuter car it is just about ideal and even for my uses it has enough range to do everything I want. I will also bet big bucks that if you sold the Tesla S in 4 years it would have a much higher resale than the CTS.
For your wants and needs you hopefully have the right car. Other people have different wants and needs. Let's face it, no one needs an S6 or an RS7 but I really want one.
How well it bounces depends on the state of the ionosphere. When it is in the right state even signals that do not usually bounce off it will. In a different state next to nothing will bounce off it. So in theory if you wanted to detect an incoming attack from over the horizon then you might want to get tine ionosphere in the right state to have your radar work.
Minor mistake == misdemeanor and it does not have an impact. Major mistake == felony and does have a major impact. " I doubt there is an adult alive who hasn't broken some law," I would say you would be wrong. Things like speeding tickets are not even considered a crime. They are called infractions. I would bet that a very large number of adults have never committed a felony and a very good number have never committed a misdemeanor.
Ahhh No. It is on your record and it is up to the individual or organization to decide. For example a convicted felon can not own a gun in the US or vote unless they go to court and have their rights restored. The record is part of your punishment. You can often not get a job as a teacher or work at a bank if you have a felony record. As to a job it will depend but if you have candidates and if everything else is equal then the one without a record will usually get the job. It is as simple as that. If you are criminal it will have an impact on the rest of your life.
Good points. The other issue is bandwidth. Not every location happens to have great internet bandwidth and very few have the bandwidth that you get with GigE and a switch in house.
It is as you point out all about what you want. I would love a Tesla S since I can go do any driving I would need to do day to day in a Tesla S. I would probably as I said go with a Passat TDI since it gets 50 MPG highway and is really nice and half the price of the Tesla S, Volt, or your truck. If need to haul a lot of people and possibly tow a camper or boat your choice would be a good one. For me not so much. I do not see cross shopping Yukon with an A6 or Tesla.
"Does anyone here know how and for what purposes we manage the ionosphere?"
Yes but if they told you they would have to kill you.....
Actually it is simple, RF propagation. For communications, sigint, comint, and radar. Yes the radar would have to use lower bands than the typical microwave but HF and even VHF radar is nothing new and is returning to popularity thanks to stealth.
You bet and it is insane that the FCC and FTC let that happen. If your cable company owns a network it would have to sell it off. If your cable company is your ISP then it has too sell. Things get really iffy when talking about a "pure" ISP. Google as in Google Fiber owns YouTube and that could be an issue if not regulated correctly. It might require Google to offer to supply a high speed link to any ISP that wants it... Which they honestly would be glad to do.
Please the coal miners unions are not that weak. Why do you think even president Obama is talking about "clean coal". You buy both sides of the isle and you get what you want.
It will not be as fast or handle as well as say an A6. Riding better is a matter of opinion but yes it will haul more stuff. An Audi A6 will go farther on a gallon. Frankly I would go with a Passat as it is made by the same company as Audi.
"The cost is simply a matter of scale, within our lifetimes we will all be driving electric, IMHO. You and I perhaps in the next decade and a half." Maybe but even the Tesla is at the 1910 era when it comes to driving long distances. Just like in 1910 you have to pick your trips based on "fuel". And it may mot just be matter of scale. The commodities used in the batteries and motors may keep the priced elevated. Copper, Lithium, and rare earths are not as cheap as iron, steel, and aluminum. Not saying you are wrong but possibly over simplifying.
No but I do need a 200 mile range. I drive 70 miles round trip to work every day. And I have a mother in law in bad health that is another 50 miles. I also have family more than 100 miles away that I go and visit. 250 miles would be great for most driving so yes a Tesla would work for me but I can get two really nice VW Passat TDIs for the same price or two Prius for the same price or two Mazda 6 for the same price. The Mazda 6 and Prius both get 40 MPG highway while Consumer reports says the Passat gets 50MPG highway.
There is no really way to have more competition unless you separate the fiber/copper from the data. You treat the transport as a utility and then allow different ISPs to use the utility to provide the data. It is both wasteful and impractical to expect Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, and so on to all run fiber. The "poles" and right of way along with the lines should be regulated as a utility. Any company that wants to and can afford to rent the lines could then offer services over the lines. Right now the ISPs have a lock on the poles.
Sigh...... No your wrong. What competition do we have? How many cable companies do you have to pick from? How many ISPs? The simple answer is the more money the cable company makes the more they would have to invest in infrastructure or cut prices. They would also have to have a regulated level of service. Of course the idea is not to make them a regulated utility but instead to use that as a threat to counter their threat.
Maybe it is time for internet to be treated more like electricity as a "REGULATED UTILITY". That statement should scare the daylights out of ISPs. Sorry but you can only make a 20% profit and yes we will audit the daylights out of you and by the way, you owning media companies is a conflict of interest and you must sell them all off.
The problem is the same one as the RIAA, MPAA, and Coal. All three have the Democrats in their back pockets because of the mostly liberal "artists" or in the case of coal the unions and they have the Republicans in the other pocket because of corporations and stock prices or in the case of coal you can throw in jobs in Republican areas.
What is funny is that nobody likes the cable companies but they politically get their way.

Exactly. The closer you are to the end user typically the higher the profit. Microsoft being the exception.

Yep you did. Solar for some is a religion and not a technology. Too bad really since it is useful but not as they used to say a "golden bullet".

It is also possible to use the Verlog to make an ASIC if you go into production.
