    What was with the separate windows anyway? I didn't see anything there (Even the messaging at the end) that couldn't be done with jQuery and some content injection into separate 'move around' divs under HTML 4.x. Could get the same effect, even better, since everything would be done on the same page rather than a bunch of separate windows. And compatible with multiple browsers.

    As fast as the river's moving, and as much water is flowing thru it? Like I said, it would be so diluted by the massive volume of water, even if it did happen, that it would be no worse than living in a house with a concrete foundation. (Very slightly radioactive, yet way below anything you could call more dangerous than spending the day at the beach.) Nuclear isotopes are ridiculously heavy compared to so-called 'normal matter', even lead - they are not going to float on the top. They will be pushed along around 30 MPH at the very bottom of the deep Missouri River - where in a few week or two, 99% of the radioactivity will be safely located at the bottom of the ocean, being slowly buried by about a millimeter of dead marine and plant life per day.

    The radioactive particles released by coal burning plants every day of the year are far greater in 'dangerosity' with each breath, then this very temporary, theoretical occurrence.

    We won't have a radioactive problem on top of the flooding, it will be at the very bottom of the flooding. Besides the paperwork, and the media panic, it will take care of itself without us lifting a finger.

    Still alive here in Omaha, right by the river. Water's not glowing, no evacuation orders.

    The plant has been turned off since April, there's not any danger of anything catastrophic. Spent fuel ponds are not flooding, although I have no idea if they've drained/moved them or not. As much as I love conspiracy theories, there's nothing here to be worried about.

    Wow, that was prophetic of me, wasn't it? Cool.

    I saw their shitty attitude towards programmers and freedom back in the Apple ][ days. It's only getting worse as the days go by. Stevie has some kind of anti-christ complex going on in his head. Probably the anger that he isn't long for this world. Only time I ever thought he was cool was in the NeXT days. These days, he's just a smug skeleton.

    One of the most profitable companies in existence... First off, nothing compared to Standard Oil back in the day, not a chance. Also, the day Steve kicks the bucket begins the stock slide to zero. It won't happen right away, but it will slowly begin to dwindle until it gets delisted from the stock exchange. Apple definitely gets the dumb consumer perspective, but they don't get the business world. I was just in a meeting this week discussing which mobile platforms we will port our (true business, not consumer-oriented at all) applications to, and it was decided early on in the meeting that we will not support the iPhone/Pad because of the rights-assuming language in Apple's business contracts for the app store. Android, Windows Phone 7 are definites, Blackberry is a possible, and iPhone/Pad is a definite hell no. Apple didn't get it in the XServe days, and they are too arrogant to ever get it.

  17. Re:Yay! on Nebraska Nuclear Plant Flood Defenses Tested · · Score: 1

    You are using the WRONG term to make your point: "Publicly Owned" means that there are stockholders; anyone from the public can buy their stock.

    However, OPPD is a privately-owned company, although you can invest with them by buying OPPD bonds. See http://www.oppd.com/InvestorsFinance/index.htm for more info.

    Just like the confusion caused by the term "non-profit company" - the only thing that means is that they cannot be "publicly owned", which is a confusing term simply meaning that publicly-traded stocks cannot be sold for a non-profit. But they are allowed to make what the common person would call "profit", but just not have stockholders that profit from the non-profit organization. It just means that any money that exceeds total expenses does not have to be shared with stock holders, instead they can put it towards buying a bigger building, put it in a bank account, paying their employees more, or, as usually happens, giving monster bonuses to the top dogs of the "non-profit" so they can get their new Porsche for the year. Don't be fooled into thinking that a non-profit is a "everything at cost" organization.

    You've been sold a large pack of lies by the media, time to start waking up and seeing thru the illusion. Fuck guys, I'm only a GED student and I know this stuff. What's your excuse?

    Oh you anti-nuke people are friggin stupid.

    I live in Omaha, 11 blocks from the river, about 20 miles south of the plant, and am not concerned in the slightest about the OPPD nuke plant causing issues. I get far more radiation every day from the coal-fired generator plant about five miles away. I like that even less. With the insane amount of water in the river right now, even if it did breach the spent fuel pools (fool pools as another poster mistakenly said), the radioactive material would be so diluted within seconds that it would have less radioactivity that your standard concrete block wall.

    Go worry somewhere else, you big pussies. The amount of deaths caused by all the nuclear accidents ever is insignificant compared to the lung cancer deaths resulting from the radioactivity released by coal-burning that we all breathe every day.
