  6. Al plant conversions, convert municipal waste? on AgroWaste to Oil a Growing Market · · Score: 0

    The pacific northwest has a number of aluminum plants now shuttered. Huge industrial structures with a technical and available work force. The Goldendale Wa. smelter has access to electrical power and a stream of 7500 tons of waste a day. This waste is now headed to the Rosevelt super landfill 20 miles to the east and is on the same rail line. It seems that these plants, already approved as industrial sites and all now declared superfund could be retrofitted as waste to oil conversion plants. The Rosevelt plant currently generates a small amount of power from methane recovery and electrical generation. It seems a great percentage of the energy is wasted with passive conversion of the feedstock. Jim Davis.

  17. Re:recent layoffs on U.S. IT jobs Down 400K Since 2001 · · Score: 0

    What a cool metric. This works for my current job. With 12 months of searching, I was able to get 100+K, and I'm in the box. But my previous position, which I nabbed before 911, gave me nearly the same pay. It's now apparent to me that skills in obscure architectures, strange O/Ss, assembly language and a understanding of bare metal sells better than knowledge of the the latest IXA exploits or web cruft, which is common as dirt.

    Recomendations: Realtime O/S, hardware, VHDL, Linux.
    Not recomended: WIN, XML, HTML or as a Win sysadmin, unless your running a home network, slacking at an ISP, or writing documentation.

    I realised 15 years ago, When my 7 year old son asked my wife if I was in Australia. I was 7 miles away, killing myself to make other people rich. I became aware that deathmarch all-nighters was for the stupid and greedy, promised riches by the same scum now selling used cars and get quick rich schemes. I never made any real money from those soul vampire gigs, although some of the parasites and wranglers ended up with mansions in the south. I now work my own hours, for a very large semi mfg. I get a lot of shit for not putting in the required 50-60 Hr workweek, but I'm happy with 8 Hr. days. Even if I'm kissing off $50 Hr.
