1) "and every proposed transport route for the waste went through the city"
I don't see how that's even an issue. The containers themselves have been proven to withstand the impact of a TRAIN. And likely much more at this stage. If you're worried about some sort of traffic congestion by a hypothetical influx of waste being transported in - then I'm fairly certain the city can pass an ordinance to allow such materials in the town and force them to take alternate routes.
2) While wikipedia isn't the best source you're welcome to train the citations in regards to the earthquake situation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yucca_Mountain_nuclear_waste_repository#Earthquakes They've already discussed that problem. And again - they'll also be in those containers mentioned above to the best of my knowledge.
It essentially says that Yucca would work as a good short term (hundreds of years) storage where the fuel would likely be removed later on for uses elsewhere and that better options exist today for permanent storage (non recoverable).
Personally, I'd like to see our nuclear program continue and see the USA get smart with how it reuses waste fuel.
"Anyway, what type of sick fuck wants to show images of minors being sexualized, legal or not? Apparently Mr. Marcheschi is fairly computer illiterate considering he doesn't know where to find a picture that was on his computer at one point. Or maybe he just knows no one would defend him if he actually made it public. After all, how is an image of a child being sexualized not child porn?"
Are you one of those "oh think of the children" types who knee-jerk at everything?
It could have been him making a larger point. I didn't see the set, obviously, but the statement could have been along the lines of how advertising geared torwards younger women is nowadays often suggesting they should behave more like adults. Hell, just look at the Bratz brand.
Going by this pretty graphic you've posted it appears the lower rates are for streaming. How much is an artist paid for radio play?
As for the "worst" comparable listing to having a cd is the Amazon download. It's comparing the cost of a track vs. an entire album. Let's say an average cd has 10 songs. That's only 124 full albums someone would have to sell to "make minimum wage" which actually ends up being a better deal than any of the physical copies this is trying to say wins out.
I could see this making more sense back in the early facebook days when you were required to have a *.edu and your name could be reasonably verified. With G+ I could make a gmail account "Joe.Blow@gmail.com" and become Mr. Joe Blow. There's no accountability there to begin with.
All these other companies seem to be missing why Netflix is doing as well as it is - it's business model is essentially an all you can eat buffet. Whereas Blockbuster and now Walmart are offering what's essentially a McDonald's value meal by comparison. What makes Netflix so likeable is being able to be an absolute glutton of video entertainment for as much as your bandwith holds out.
I felt like the whole movie was a montage. As if they HAD to condense so much into 90 minutes instead of just telling a story. I left feeling very unfulfilled, personally.
Can't speak for any of the other services but Facebook allows you to submit identification (such as a driver's license) to prove your identity in those kind of scenarios. As for the banks and employers - I call bullshit.
Haha...well I haven't attempted to run linux as a full-on desktop in the same environment so I haven't had the same kind of questions. Most of what I end up looking up can be found in the man pages.
And yeah, the VM is how the Mac users deal with that particular issue. Unity mode is pretty slick for that.
Oh - another thing, on Android I was able to point the mail program to my my corp webmail address and was able to bring my mail in that way instead of using Web Access. I had to put the domain in front of my user name and the web address without the "https://" and "/exchange" parts. Worth a shot!
You nailed a pretty important aspect there. You just don't have control over the machines in the way you do with AD. It's the nature of the beast but that's a part of WHY IT is reluctant to allow them on the network as they're either self-managed or you're doing it via sneaker-net.
I was using Mac OSX for the past year in my enterprise environment and it wasn't too bad for a lot of things. But the things I *really* wanted out of it it didn't have.
I really dig the multiple desktops and being able to switch by moving the cursor to a corner of the screen. REALLY nice for virtualization.
VMware Fusion ran decently, but I didn't have beefy enough hardware to really run everything I wanted - I do desktop support fairly often and it's nice to have every OS we use ready to go so I can walk someone through the steps of something exactly or troubleshoot w/ that specific system. I was given a Mac Mini so that really pushed what it was capable of to a point.
What I didn't like - lack of anything similar to a taskbar. I hate hate hate grouping things. It's one of the first things I disable in Windows. I couldn't find much in the way of customizing the dock to do what I wanted. I was really turned off when I looked up how other's dealt with that people in the forums were typically very rude/arrogant (more than I've seen in a lot of other places) pretty much accosting anyone who wanted something different than what Apple had fed them. I'm fine with default being what it is but I'd like to have the option to change away from that.
Lack of IE/browser with Active X. Not Apple's fault by any means but still really annoying when you need to access sites that utilize ActiveX. I'm looking at you Microsoft Web Outlook.
Update handling was very nice. Very user friendly. Major plus.
Fairly stable overall for most users. I was the exception the rule but that was due to the virtualizing I was tryign to do.
What I'd really want as an IT professional is to have the abilty to run OS X in VMWare for reasons I stated above - it enables me to support other machines types very easily - in this case the few Macs we have. I get they're a "hardware company" but hindering my ability to support others does them no favors in regards to gathering support from IT decision makers.
Yeah - one of the commentors on the blog figured it was just some guy who snagged some and wanted to blow up a piece of his own backyard or something. Hey, it's plausible; however, that certainly falls in the category of "shit-that-you-just-don't-bring-on-a-fucking-plane".
Alternatively it could have been a test run from a hostile group.
There are quite a few possibilities of what the intent could have been but regardless I'm glad they actually caught it. Why? Because maybe they'll see more usefulness to that approach (wishful thinking, I know).
In regards to "'trace' detections" coming up with false positives - I'm relatively ok with that. IMHO, having trace residue of explosives is a reasonable probable cause scenario for further search at that time to that individual.
It's still the SAME thing. They're still regularly blasting folks with unnecessary radiation. Still misappropriating priorities and funds.
Let's be real - how many planes are going to be coming down with knives and similar now that The Door (tm) is in place? Perhaps I'm grossly misinformed - if so, by all means educate me. But I'd rather see more investments being made in explosive detection.
Heck, there was a story recently about the TSA busting a guy with C4 by using an explosive detection device.
I'm actually a little surprised at all the comments voting for tape instead of huge disk arrays or other fancy such configs, but it makes sense.
I'm curious - have any of you dealt with these guys? http://cache-a.com/index.php It looks like they're geared for video work, can be networked, and runs on tape. Think it could be handy for what the OP is after (despite being graphics as opposed to video)?

Frankly, I don't see the problem. The only sound argument comes from the comment here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yucca_Mountain_nuclear_waste_repository#Cancelation_of_project

This gave me a good hour of entertainment while at work (via the rest of your projects as well).. Thank you, sir!

Good looking FUD though.
And actually stay hydrated.

Don't blame him - Hitler made him do it.

News at 11 - American citizens who care about their country DDOSed the government. Now labeled as terrorists. More at 12.
My real friends know who I am regardless of if my name on any of those sites is James Dean or Martha Stewart...
