Typical response from people with no idea where Vermont is. Unless every member of our state's ENTIRE POPULATION holds 2 or 3 positions at the plant, there aren't "millions" of jobs on the line... and as mellon pointed out, it's better for everyone to lose them via closure rather than via radiation poisoning.
It was reported that this couldn't possible be the entire source because the source is 40 million lines and a total of 40 gigabytes.
Let's do the math...
40000000000 / 40000000 = 1000 characters per line.
Doesn't that seem a little lengthy? I mean, really...
Didn't step foot in Best Buy this week, and won't be for a while. The nice folks at my local Circuit City were happy to price match them, though.:D
Oh, and we don't have a Target around here (Vermont is the only continental state without one... *sigh*) but given the choice between them and Walmart, I think I'd boycott my local Walmart, which sucks so bad... it's a sad thing considering some of the nice ones I've seen elsewhere.
What a pitiful comment! You go for first post by giving a one word post, and then don't even get it! HAHAHAHAHAHAAHA!

And as much as I wanted to spite you with a one word reply, I find it ironic (and amusing) that someone marked his 1 word comment with an "Insightful.":)
That's actually pretty cool. Reminds me of one of those old wise man tales (Solomon, Confusious, etc) in which a guy lives above a restaurant. He eats his rice while smelling fish cooking downstairs, so his rice ends up tasting like the fish. The restaurant owner finds out and halls him to a judge demanding to be paid for the fish. The judge has the guy shake some coins in his hand - the sound of the coins was to act as payment for the smell of the fish.:)

Woohoo! A real life experiment of Schroedinger's Cat going on every day at my local drug store. :)
