Like it's a waste of money to refit the power plant.
"Dunkirk's operator, NRG, wanted to mothball the plant in 2012, saying it was not economical to run. "
"The utility, National Grid, said shutting it down could make local power supplies less reliable, a problem that could be fixed by boosting transmission capacity—at a lower cost than repowering Dunkirk."
The issue the Dunkirk was refitted was because of political reasons. It had nothing to do with energy needs. So your argument holds no water.
Keep pushing that canard. No activist has stopped the construction of a new power plant. The problem is financing. Banks don't want to lend the money because of the cost over-runs. That's why the nuclear industry has been pushing the government to guarantee those loans.
The real issue was the landing, not the power source. But this ass-hat would have you believe the fault was the power source. Yes if ifs and buts were candies and nuts we'd all have a Merry Christmas. Stop the fucking arm chair quarter backing.
LMOL...yeah the situation in Iraq is Obama's fault. It has nothing to do with our invasion of Iraq, under false pretenses, which created a power vacuum. Nah, that couldn't be it.
"...Khan Academy, which Duncan credits for 'changing the way my kids learn'..."
"...who complained last December that he "didn't have the opportunity to learn computer skills" while growing up attending the Univ. of Chicago Lab Schools and Yale,"
"...the University of Illinois was teaching kids how to program online in the '70s with its PLATO system..."
"...notes that 650 students were learning programming on PLATO during the Spring '75 semester..."
"...Khan Academy is boasting that it "helped over 2000 girls learn to code" in 2014 (after luring their teachers with funding from a $1,000,000 Google Award)."
So what did we learn? The education chief is making a big fuss out of nothing based on his ignorance of on-line learning systems and that Khan Academy could only educate 1350 more students - after bribing teachers - 39 years later.
Jesus tap dancing Christ. Read the fucking article. It has nothing to do with forcing companies to spend any money on security! It's about the "...47 different state-based security breach notification laws, as well as laws in the District of Columbia and Guam" The retailers want one single system for NOTIFICATION of a breach: "A single federal law applying to all breached entities would ensure clear, concise and consistent notices to all affected consumers regardless of where they live or where the breach occurs."
Umm no, it's the above: "Currently, there are 47 different state-based security breach notification laws, as well as laws in the District of Columbia and Guam."
LMOL - do you know where regulations come from? They come from corporate lobbyists. Corporations write legislation that Congress passes. These "regulations" reduce the liability to Corporations. They do not protect consumers! Check out ALEC sometime.
Yo moron, they're trying to reduce their liability not protect the consumer. FTA: "Currently, there are 47 different state-based security breach notification laws, as well as laws in the District of Columbia and Guam." Do you understand now?
Yo douche bag, the FCC is not capturing your information it's the NSA with the help of Verizon, AT&T, Comcast, etc.,...so keep thinking government works alone.
Bullshit! Obama meet with the Republicans several times to work on the AHA. Obama even used a CONSERVATIVE plan as the model for AHA - you know a free market style solution - only to have it opposed by Republicans! So stop this bullshit narrative that Obama didn't try to work with the Republicans. He did but they weren't willing to work with him. The Republican so oppose Obama they threatened to not raise the debt ceiling to get some budget concessions. Something that was never done under Bush!
Really? Headline from the Los Angles Times: "Obama urges net neutrality; Cruz calls it 'Obamacare for the Internet'"
In case you have your head so far up your ass, Republicans are against government regulation. FYI Ted Cruz is a Republican who opposes government regulation.
"According to present-day understanding of what is called the vacuum state or the quantum vacuum, it is "by no means a simple empty space",[1] and again: "it is a mistake to think of any physical vacuum as some absolutely empty void."[2] According to quantum mechanics, the vacuum state is not truly empty but instead contains fleeting electromagnetic waves and particles that pop into and out of existence."
Crazy rant is correct because that's all it is. You're understanding of Einstein is severely lacking. Einstein believed in a deterministic universe and not the non-deterministic one espoused by Bohr and the Copenhagen interpretation of the quantum wave function. Einstein spent years developing paradoxes to demonstrate quantum physics could not be a complete theory. Unfortunately for Einstein, experimental physics kept validating quantum physics.

Cleaner than coal? Yeah you just have to dispose of all that nuclear waste...but yeah cleaner....moron.
LMOL...yeah the situation in Iraq is Obama's fault. It has nothing to do with our invasion of Iraq, under false pretenses, which created a power vacuum. Nah, that couldn't be it.
Neither do the Republicans....your point zippy?
A Fox news watcher, nice....

On-line education systems are irrelevant to someone who is pushing on-line education systems? Nice job ass-hole.
RedHat is an operating system. .NET is a programming architecture. You need to look at the programming languages people learn.
Actually you do. That's what the UK did 10 years ago and their ISP market took off.
A schill for Verizon...how nice...
LMOL - only in your tiny little mind.
You mean like the immigration reform bills tied up in the house that would pass if Boehner allowed a vote? Yeah keep promoting that canard....

Do you understand now moron!
Except it's not consumer protection. It's corporate protection. Try taking our head out of your ass sometime.
Umm no, it's the above: "Currently, there are 47 different state-based security breach notification laws, as well as laws in the District of Columbia and Guam."
Jackass.

A test is way to assess whether or not someone understands the material. But keep thinking it's a control issue.
