Oh, and BTW, early US rocket designs have elements directly lifted from Nazi rockets! The same rockets used to bomb London! Think of it!
Perhaps that is because the early American rockets were built by the same guys who built the rockets which bombed London. In fact, the Saturn rocket (Apollo) owes its lineage directly to the V2.
Well, up until now, no one ever thought someone would drive a large jetliner into a reactor. The plants are and were designed to be safe from themselves, not from a large external explosive force.
So yes, the plants used now are much safer (the Chernobyl design was *never* approved for large civilian use in the US - only small weapons-production reactors). They are designed to contain the reactor core in the event of a problem with the core itself. I guess the answer to the jetliner problem is to put the reactor core 100 feet underground (try driving much of anything into that).
Yeah.. Lesson One is don't use an RBMK reactor with no secondary containment. Current (and future) designs have Fail-Safe systems where, should the control system fail, the whole shebang fails into a "safe" mode (control rods are dropped which effectively stops the reaction and free-flowing coolant is delivered to alleviate residual core heat). TMI would have failed safe, except for incorrect operator intervention.
Chernobyl was also utilized to produce weapons-grade plutonium as well as civilian electricity, which is why the graphite moderator was used (instead of water, as in US civilian designs). When the graphite burned, the temperature shot up very quickly and the reactor exploded through the pressure-seal which was the only line of defense (not the reinforced concrete secondary containment vessel in Western designs). TMI showed how well that design could withstand both an incident and poor handling of that incident.
I'm currently in the process of starting a company with former SCO people. They all pronounce it "SKOH". I, along with them, reside in Santa Cruz, California.

Actually, I believe the Secret Service would gift-wrap your ass and deliver it to your new husband Bubba for his exclusive use during your ten year stay in a Federal penitentiary of their choice...
Yup. And IIRC correctly (from a former co-worker who used to write software for the company which also builds the printing presses also used world-wide to print currency), that type of paper can ONLY be purchased by a government (as well as the afore-mentioned printing presses).
Of course, if you put the equivalent of a spot-welder (little mylar strip in a high-energy photon environment) to most organic material (flame-resistant or not) it'll scorch and/or burn eventually.
These guys just HAVE to be rednecks.. it's something my cousins would do, and they are the definition of rednecks.
All that would do is create the SMTP equivalent of a smurf ping attack. The poor spoofed (or zombied) victim would be crushed, and not the actual spammer.
You would be what is known as an "Unsecured Creditor". This means you are last in line for bread off that loaf, and you'll get crumbs-for-the-slice at that (if you get any at all).
Bankruptcy won't save you from judgements against you, except for protection for your primary residence and, I believe, one automobile. At least, that's how it is for humans; I don't know exactly how corporations are done.
I am not a bankruptcy attorney, but I did work for one for a few years in the early 90s.
I believe it's almost exactly the same here in the States (again, I'm not in a union). However, the one thing that WON'T happen is that you'll be fired for striking (with very few exceptions, such as Air Traffic Controllers, which are positions which have direct effect on public safety).
Good (if obvious) call. However, the "Penguin" refers to good old Tux, not Pittsburgh. I'm actually a Sharks fan, and have been long enough to have co-created "The Chomp" (at least I remember being the only one doing that during their 2nd ever pre-season game back in the Palais du Boef days before San Jose Arena was built).
Messier shouldn't have been around after 4 years ago, but it's hard to kill a Moose... Lemieux never really returned. Stevie Y will be carried out on his stick after he dies trying to crawl across the blue line on a breakaway.
I could personally care less about Colorado because their fans, having inherited a Cup contending team, seem to have a lousy sense of entitlement; I can't wait to see them drop like flies when the 'Lanche become "just another team" (except I must say I do dig Granato.. I liked him as a Shark).
That's why I attempted to qualify my statement with "For all their problems...". And I was merely responding to the AC's cold attitude towards striking workers.
However, in this case, the company was going to go under anyway so these folks were screwed no matter what.
A good example of your point in current practice is the upcoming expiration of the NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement. The NHLPA (the players' union) is refusing to even discuss a salary cap, even in the face of an independent analysis of the NHL finances. I really think the NHLPA should reassess their position because a two-year work stoppage (as they are advising the players) would pretty much kill the NHL. Only us hard-core fans would be left (and I'd seriously look at where else I could spend my sports-viewing dollars).
So you like working for $0.25/hour, or whatever the employer decides to pay you that week.
For all their problems, organized labor unions (with laws protecting their rights) are a necessity to protect the common workers from exploitation.
Labor Strike != "not working". It is the only tool workers have for forcing fair negotiated wages and other compensation.
No, I'm not (and never have been) part of a union. Thankfully I'm in a profession which doesn't require that kind of protection. But Upton Sinclair and Tennesee Ernie Ford didn't get famous for bitching about non-issues...
As is there one for steering wheels. However, a steering wheel and a seatbelt are necessary portions of an automobile and *should* be included by the manufacturer.
AV software is not a necessary part of an Operating System. I've been using Linux for almost a decade without using any AV software...
I did exactly this setting up a self-contained backup system for some co-located servers using Arkeia.
The problem drove me batshit until I realized that, because Arkeia (at least that version, some 4 years ago) like to make a complete mirror of the remote filesystems being backed up (albeit files of zero byte size), the backup server was running out of inodes and crashing although the reported disk usage on the/usr filesystem was nowhere near 100%.
I re-make the filesystems and re-load everything on the backup server.

Kinda makes you wanna take a handful of "Snap-N-Pops" to his next press conference, eh?

Sorry, Captain Clownpunch, but even on my anemic Duron 950-G4 Ti4200 system the game is still quite playable. Assault is an excellent game.
I'm still a little confused about the football game, though...

I can make bubbles in my bathtub, and the sound generated during that process is not very high frequency...
It even produces a little bit of heat!
I did the same thing. Here's my ballot, for all to see:

You're just pissed because you're still stuck on a 14.4k dialup, and "NO CARRIER" actually *means* something to you.
