Can someone design me a distributed raid app that encrypts and splits the data between all the major cloud options? It would be pretty hard to decrypt if they only have a fifth of it.
He should set up a website with some sort of interface control for the machines and live streaming video, then charge people to play with the toys remotely.
Reminds me of visiting Key West, Florida and going out on a diving boat. All those dead, white coral heads. Thank pollution, treasure hunters for it. Yeah, Humans - the animal that fouls its nest for fun and profit.
actually most of that reef is dead because of the overuse by tourists who have no idea why they shouldn't stand and kick the reefs. There are live reefs around there but not that any of the tourist boats will take tourists to. even the ones that aren't totally bleached still have problems, but the tourist trap ones are totally destroyed.
you don't get to be where those people are without skeletons in the closet. If you have skeletons in the closet someone else has leverage on you. if someone else has leverage on you, first it's do one small bad thing and then its do more bad things or I'll tell about the first ones.
Thus, You don't get to be a politician without being corrupt.
perhaps they are voted human, not because they have surpassed the bar, but because the bar has been lowered. Most humans that you talk to are fucking stupid.
you know.. the iphones come with this nifty adapter that plugs into an even more common receptacle. usually two slots and a hole in the wall with no data connection whatsoever. I hear that it's 120VAC. Just sayin......
I believe you can get licensed radio's from tranzeo. If not they have some other band solutions as well. They are not that expensive or hard to set up if this is all that important.
to be fair. when concerned with radiation exposure, it doesn't matter what they're wearing unless it's made of lead or some other dense material. a 2 inch thickness of lead reduces the dose by 9/10ths.
I have a lot of respect for the workers at the plant who risk their health and work hard to prevent a disaster. But I also think it's an irresponsible policy to require this kind of heroism from people. I have only contempt for the people who ignored the IAEA warning about Japanese reactors a couple of years ago, and for the people who are still deciding to build new reactors near fault lines without sufficient safety precautions to withstand the worst earthquakes.
The reactor should have been safe. Better able to withstand earthquake and tsunami, and more, better, and more reliable backup systems.
The actual earthquake, Where the ground moved around, did no significant damage to the plant. It was the tsunami that destroyed the tanks for the diesel fuel for the emergency diesel generators (all 13 EDGs). This along with the loss of outside transmission losses meant no power to run the pumps for feedwater into the reactor vessel.
Many newer plant have completely passive systems, fed by gravity and other things that will work without electricity. One thing you have in an abundance after a nuclear accident is heat. some of the older plants and many reactors (especially in the navy) have pumps that run off of steam.
the plant I speak of is a little different from theirs. It's a PWR, theirs was a BWR. Our Aux feed system (with three separate trains) runs off of aux feed. in the event of an accident the natural circulation of the primary would move that heat to the steam generators with or without pumps running. The aux feed system which can be run with or without electricity will provide feedwater to remove decay heat from the Reactor.
There are Seismic considerations to everything we do as well. A similar earthquake and tsunami would not destroy our EDGs. Thus I doubt any resulting accident would be nearly as severe, our plant is 5 years newer
with regard to them being required to stay, I doubt that anyone was required to stay. I know if there was an accident where I work, (even if it was as severe) there would be no question that I would stay. Along with many others. I was in the coast guard before this. I was a sea marshal for a short time. I was a firefighter, repair team member, damage control team member. Many others as well would see it as their duty to stay, even if the company didn't ask. I personally know people from here who have volunteered to go help the Japanese plants.
Just keep the gear and if SHTF, fire it back up. If shit has hit the fan, then the equipment that uses the band won't be working anyway. you could just hop back on it. and if everyone does the same thing you'll be able to use it just like you have been.
instead of changing the name to "SYFY", they should have changed it to "Wrestling and other stupid shit that doesn't have anything to do with science." A bit wordy but more accurate. Oh and what the hell happened to the rest of SGU? Fucking bastards.
He did the smart thing and got free publicity for himself and his business.... Maybe even some work from that lotto company too.(since I'm sure they would want the algorithm to understand how to predict winners....)
Can you tell me his name without scrolling up to the top? I didn't think so. I doubt his will ever be a household name.
I often vote with my wallet, too. I was a NY Giants fan until I witnessed a parking attendant hit a squirrel with his truck. I was appalled by such animal cruelty, and have since switched my allegiance to the Philadelphia Eagles.
This is slashdot god dammit. I don't give a rats ass about baseball.
The TMI incedednt was caused by nothing more then incorrect data. Can you imagine the amount of havoc that bad data could cause in the cocpit of a jumbo airliner twice over as we add automated system to the already cumputer-controlled outputs? thosands die ever year because they are given the wrong medication, just more bad data. In combat theaters, quality of intel can mean who lives and who dies.
All of these are systems that should probibly not be attached to the internet, but data drives decisions, many of which can be life-or-death.
The TMI incident was NOT caused by bad data. It was caused by operators who didn't trust their instruments because they were used to seeing high reading on a Temp Indicator that was supposed to tell them the pressurizer relief valves were leaking by. Because it had been leaking by and they were used to seeing high temps there, they ignored it when it really was a problem. The data was correct. grow a fucking clue.
If the fuel was leaving from Areva then you were completely justified in not worrying about it. you could sleep next to it for 10 years and it would have no effect on you. It's not hot until it has been in a reactor. Blue containers, maybe 15 feet long, 3 or 4 feet in diameter right? Those are not waste.
They do have containers for transporting waste fuel, but it isn't that hot (still high level) as it's been sitting in a spent fuel pit for 30+ years. The waste is usually not moved all that far either. maybe a mile or two. It's going into something called dry cask storage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_cask_storage
The containers for moving waste around are robust. We're talking about not cracking if two trains collide or it get's dropped out of a plane.

Did your solar system include Pluto?

someone mod this up. This actually is an accurate analogy for what is happening. no idea why it's -1. Well done sir.
i call bullshit. A 55 gallon drum of .223 would be several times more than 6000. I can fit 1000 rounds of .223 in a shoebox.
That was downright painful.

I like Ron Paul. But he is a LIAR.
Simply because Politicians = LIAR.
NO exceptions.
perhaps, you both have Alzheimers?

Soon it will be: sorry, did we say unlimited? You're causing service interruptions. We really meant 1500.

If this kill switch were ever to be thrown, I would give America ten days before a horde of Facebook starved teenage girls takes the White House.

Homer Simpson is an engineer in a nuclear power plant...
NO, he's not. He's an operator
