    Amazing!!! I believe the meaning of this is called progress. For every theory we disprove, we become a little more wiser. I am all for a renaissance of the mind! Congratulations!

  2. Re:The thing is on The Nuclear Power Renaissance · · Score: 1

    Adding 700 nuclear GWe worldwide, operated 2050-2100, would...

    - About double today's global nuclear capacity
    - Add ~1,200 nuclear plants (if they last 40 y)
    - Add 15 enrichment plants (each 8 MSWU/y)
    - Create 0.97 million tonnes of spent fuel, requiring 14 Yucca Mountains, and containing
    ~1 million kg--hundreds of thousands of bombs' worth--of plutonium
    - Require 50 reprocessing plants (each 800 TSF/y with 40-y life) to extract that plutonium
    - Require ~$1-2+ trillion capital investment
    - Cut ~0.2 C from global av. temperature rise

    Not a pretty picture.

  3. Hallmark's New Sys Admin Appreciation Cards on System Administrator Appreciation Day · · Score: 1

    Here are just a few of the potential lines that could be found in Hallmark's new line of cards (use your imagination to come up with the picture):

    Your job is one that many find appalling, but you are one that keeps our network responding. We appreciate your time and effort. Thank you

    We know you sit there like a slob, drinking your Jolt and peeing in the garbage pail. But Hot Damn, you keep our email flowing. Thanks!

    The Network was a scary thing to most of us. Fortunately you came and conquored our fears of getting tangled in all the cables. We appreciate your contribution to the company. Thanks!

    My password has never been hotter. Thanks for keeping me on my toes all this year.

    We call you at insane hours, harrass you that our login doesn't work and bug you to death to setup our new software. We know you love it and so we here at the office bought you this fancy card. Thanks for not going postal!

    Words can not describe the joy it is to have a virus free network. Only you could of done it with such a large budget. We thank you for spending loads of money to make sure we receive clean email. We appreciate your work!

    Login: sysadmin
    Pass: R5Hyyiksn%92&&225Uwfjue()
    We get the picture! You have the ultimate password. Thanks for making sure no one steals the defense contracts!

    could survive. The Mole People. We have discovered their secret planet.

  5. Ottawa's Cool Car Sharing Program on Time Sharing Cars · · Score: 3, Informative

    In Ottawa they have a very successful car sharing program. Have a look at their website: http://www.vrtucar.com/ They are mostly using Ford Focuses and I think they even have a mini-van for share. I believe it is a great idea in any urban area. Insurance rates are pretty costly in the area.
