Not at all. Corporations should do what is in their best interests. If you, as a supplier of labor, are not mobile, that makes you less valuable to a company, and deservedly so.
Other than the production of tons of very highly radioactive waste forwhich, to date, we have no effective means of disposal.
Reprocess your fuel and you should be ok. Speaking of waste, do you have any idea how much waste a coal plant produces?
When's the last time a coal fired plant rendered an area permanently uninhabitable?
Coal plant, dunno. Coal mine? Ever been to Centralia?
When a nuke plant blows, it makes the area around it (possibly for hundreds of miles) too radioactive for humans to live there. [granted, we've only had such a thing happen once. So far.]
Yeah, that happened because Russia built on the cheap, they decided to preform research on a live reactor with a design that is unstable at low load, and they disabled several safety protocols. Even then, Chernobyl isn't permanently uninhabitable.
And if they stick arnd with just books, whereas google offers everything (including Amazon links - which obviously they cant afford to take out), they might start to lose a bit of relevence. And obviously google's plan to scan the worlds books is a very visible threat.
I suggest you go look at Amazon - they sell quite a large variety of stuff. Books, Video, Sporting goods, clothing, gems, electronics, Badonkadonk, cosmetics, watches - you name it. The one thing they seem to shy away from are things that require special handling, like firearms. The do have bullet knives, though.
That's a bit of a red herring, though: electrical plants scrub the very hell out of their effluvia in order to stay in compliance with the clean air act.
The point is that nuclear has none of these problems; as a bonus, it's even endorsed by Greenpeace.
Both of these will ultimately decline (oil peaking around now, gas peaking 2008-2012, uranium peaking within a few decades) and we're going to be up the creek without the proverbial.
Uranium can last 500 years or more if we reprocess our fuel, while Thorium is even more abundant. As an added bonus, reprocessing our fuel means we get far less waste that is dangerous only for a number of centuries.
I strongly question whether it is morally right to leave waste products with a half-life of 250,000 years just because we want to play a game when we're bored.
If it's got a 250,000 year half life, then who cares? It's barely radioactive. Also, most of our (residential) energy usage goes to AC and heat. I don't have AC, but my heat is electric, so in the winter, my bill goes to $100/month instead of $20/month.
No, the design document is the first deliverable and includes requirements. Generally, there are a handful of high level requirements and a whold bunch of low level ones. I like to put use cases in a separate doc, simply because they tend to be verbose, and the design doc is intended to be an overview - the 'root' document, if you like.
I tried to explain that if it was in the book, then someone already knew how to do it, and therefore my time was being wasted, but unfortunately, that didn't go over so well.
It's a class - of course somebody's already done it. Unless you're in a special topics course or dealing with actual research, then it's probably prepackaged. I can't really explain the screenshot nonsense, save to wonder if that's an anti cheating tactic.
But I did feel it had brilliant ideas and revolutionary concepts.
Those aren't revolutionary - they're basic project management and some real world development mixed together. Nobody uses waterfall. Identifying risks is a basic part of requirements analysis, and talking to customers (and identifying them at all) is necessary so you have a chance at success. Who cares if your code works if nobody wants it.
And where are you, exactly? I'm thinking of getting T-mobile service here (seattle) since Cingular is ok, but overpriced, and I expect that I should have the same coverage since they're both GSM.
You always have the option of going to rackforce and setting up a hosted server. I think the base configuration has 5G of space and unmetered bandwidth.

You're saying that if pure water isn't exposed to anything (sealed in a nonreactive container) it will spontaneously create ions? How, and what kind?
H+ and OH- (or is that the other way around?) in a small concentration. If it's exposed to air, it will dissolve CO2 from that as well.
Wouldn't distilled water be best?
It only stays distilled for a little while, and water makes its own ions anyway, so no, it won't really help.
No, you're supposed to develop your skills enough that it becomes cost-effective to employ you here. Or, move to Zimbabwe.
Did that. Of course, most of the educated in Zimbabwe are now dead, so I doubt anybody will be outsourcing there anytime soon.
Got copies already - they work eerily well.
Wrong Centralia. Odd that your Centralia is also a Coal town.
can you remember of some "concious" person telling you not to buy Nike shoes because they were made in Chinese sweatshops?
Yeah, there's plenty of reasons not to buy them - they're cheap crap.
Not at all. Corporations should do what is in their best interests. If you, as a supplier of labor, are not mobile, that makes you less valuable to a company, and deservedly so.
So what, I'm supposed to move to Zimbabwe now?
I mean, aren't most songs just Beatles ripoffs anyway?
Why yes, 'Master of Puppets' is obviously derived from 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.' I'm not sure about 'Jesus built my Hotrod', though.

6 liters is 13 lbs. Do you really believe he lost over 10% of body weight in water in a little over 2 hours and still won the race??
Why not? Indy car drivers routinely lose 10 lbs in a race.
Yeah, I feel comfortable in calling it revolutionary.
It's a sad statement that actually being able to be honest about how you work is revolutionary.
Here's my favored dev process (crystalized in 2000 and based heavily on what they did where I worked):
I tried to explain that if it was in the book, then someone already knew how to do it, and therefore my time was being wasted, but unfortunately, that didn't go over so well.

Why the hell should users care what language their stuff is written in? They're USERS!
Are you denying that he had a major hand in the internet being what it is today? If it wasn't for Gore, it'd probably still be a research network.
Those opposed to the idea of global warming have to responsiblity to do anything here.
Yes they do. They have to point to flaws and holes in the current theory, otherwise they're just gasbagging.
He created it, this much is true. Maybe you could go look up the actual thing he said?
How about a check-box that lets people include non-photography and or screenshots in their search.
Why? They don't want to host them at all.

No, I work at the other large tech company in Seattle. I do end up running into a lot of microsofties, though.
