    Really?

    "For a terrorist, however, uranium 233 is a tempting theft target; it does not require advanced shaping and implosion technology to be fashioned into a workable nuclear device. The Energy Department recognizes this characteristic and requires any amount of more than two kilograms of uranium 233 to be maintained under its most stringent safeguards, to prevent “onsite assembly of an improvised nuclear device.” As for the claim that radiation levels from uranium 232 make uranium 233 proliferation resistant, Oak Ridge researchers note that “if a diverter was motivated by foreign nationalistic purposes, personnel exposure would be of no concerns since exposure would not result in immediate death.”"

    *Blank stare* and you do when you see experience on a resume? Wow. I don't believe you sit on hiring panels. There's something called a test. Companies routinely give tests to perspective employees, regardless of experience. This is how they determine the person they hire can cut it.

  12. Re:Trade apprenticeships are not comparable on Ask Slashdot: Computer Science Freshman, Too Soon To Job Hunt? · · Score: 1

    CS people generally do not go through an apprenticeship. Writing code is not a blue-collar job, it's a creative job. This is why the Department of Labor considers CS people "exempt" employees, not subject to overtime rules, etc.: it's more than 50% creative (look up the rules).

    Full Stop. The reason why tech workers are "exempt" has to do with over-time pay. Companies do not want to pay over-time. It has nothing to do with being creative. It has to do with the knowledge that tech workers often need to work more than 40hrs/week and but classifying them as exempt, businesses can force them to work over-time without paying them.

  17. Re:Oh yeah right on Average American Cable Subscriber Gets 189 Channels and Views 17 · · Score: 1

    ESPN is not reasonably priced nor is it high demand. ESPN's costs are not fixed. They just spent $15 Billion dollars to carry Monday Night football for 10 years. That's just Monday Night football. That does not include other programming. Thats' why your cable keeps going up because ESPN charges Time Warner, Verison and everyone else more and more to pay for the programming costs. The problem is people are paying for ESPN even though they don't watch ESPN. People are subsiding the channel. More people watch QVC than ESPN. So if ala cart happened, ESPN would be fucked.

    Hey moron, that's how the pricing works today. All channels charge different amounts. It has nothing to do with quality. ESPN can go fuck itself. Make people pay for each channel, then see how much money ESPN can really charge when people who don't watch their channel are no longer subsiding ESPN.

    What pot are you smoking? ESPN has a boatload of viewers? Really Zippy? More people watch QVC than ESPN. Look it up. So no that's not why ala cart faces resistance. ESPN, or rather Disney is scared shitless because if ala cart ever happened they would not be able to charge the obscene amounts of money they do for their channels because they would not have the viewers. On the other had QVC would be able to charge more for their channel. Ironic.
