It's the other kind of anti-technology post, the kind that goes "Let's stop and wait for $DISTANT_TECHNOLOGY, for it will be so much safer and cleaner than the known-quantity reactor types we have today." Of course, when the new tech does reach break-even and plans are drawn up to build, the same people will pop up start regaling us with 'unexpected problems' pulled out of their own colons. Each one will be cited as a reason for stopping development and construction so we can 'do more studies'.
Folks, don't forget last week, when the same effect arose in discussion of a new California solar plant.
Dropbox is for storing small quantities of apples that you want to share with friends without having to attach them to a UPS shipment and spend bucks. Evernote allows you to save an inventory list of your oranges, attach article clips describing your oranges and attach a few pictures of them.
Do you know an education graduate who needs work? Move to a Mormon community like Mesa, AZ. Mormons have the vast hordes of children that Catholics used to be famous for in the days when they still observed the edict against birth control. Mormon towns always need more teachers.
BBC is supported by a tax on TV sets, not from the general fund, the legal theory being that people without TV should not have to pay for BBC. So the UK has a massive bureaucracy just to collect TV tax, including an army of special police who roam house to house with electronic-detection vans to look for TV sets that do not pay the tax.
One of the great benefits of standardized reactor designs is that they promote a domestic industry in the long run. But we have a chicken-and-egg problem here: new nuclear order have been in hiatus for so long that the essential supply chain is now located in the ongoing nuclear world that no longer includes us. Reactor vessels right now have to come from Tokyo, and the uranium we mine here in my state has to go to France for enrichment and fabrication. Once a new domestic market is established, there will be new domestic supply.
Wrong, wrong, wrong! You may not care about fountain pens at the moment, but the whole value of an encyclopedia is that some one a hundred years ago might be researching vintage culture, and would value a knowledge aggregator that has references to specific types of fountain pens. That's why the rule cited by GP that once notable, always notable.
The hypothesis described in this article should be easy to test. Has there been a program of benthic temperature measurements at given places in the world over a "long" period of time? If so, how do today's temperatures compare with that record? Temperatures taken at depth should represent long-term averages, immune to all the short-term effects that go on near the surface.
If that happens, then everyone who needs to go on swapping terrorist plans or child porn images will move to some new shaky little service. IP over carrier pigeons? Stegged vacation snapshots? Direct-beamed lasers? Lather, rinse, repeat.
But whenever such a "pause" takes place at the behest of environmentalists, it's never just a KSC-type technical hold. When the job starts up again, there will be a sudden non-negotiable call for another "study" before the resumption. Get one lint-head judge to, exercising all the technical knowhow his liberal-arts education can muster, issue an injunction, and the project gets delayed for at least months.
Shenanigans like these are very effective at sending any desired project into major cost overruns. They have used this tactic against nuclear projects for years.

Yes, as we all know, that big shiny thing in the sky burns wood.

Hey, buddy, we're discussing volcanology here. Let's keep the gender preference slurs out of this.

As opposed to California, where there are only forty million people without running water.

After all, that seems to be standard procedure at the Huffington School of Medicine.
What is it about Brits and redheads, anyway? Prejudice occurs worldwide over every possible trifling difference, but this one has to be the weirdest.

For all of these Nimrods, including the slang, see the extensive Wikipedia disambiguation page.
The Nimrod language was reviews in Dr. Dobbs (Feb 2014). That's not an authoritative source in the field?

Everything is a crime in the UK except actual crime.
Researchers need to at least check whether organisms living on this diet can generate code in a caffeine-free ecosystem.
But it would probably improve the taste.

And how many people, realistically, are going to watch that fuzzy copy instead of waiting a couple of months for it to come out on Netflix?
Isn't that the standard penalty in Europe for genocide?
