I couldn't answer that myself, but if it were feasible, a percentage of the power output of the plant could be put toward safe disposal of the waste.
With the on-again off-again debate whether to use nuclear power here in Australia (we have lots of cheap dirty coal), a policy like that could make nuclear power viable and Australia much less of a greenhouse gas emitter.
I had been thinking of using the energy output to build and rockets or whatever, but if this technology works, the waste could be processed on-site.
They're not doomed in government departments. People seem depressingly willing to use the officially sanctioned language however Newspeakish it is. My fiancee's mother works in a state school, and she was told that if there was anything negative in the students' report they'd be sent back. What she was supposed to say about the student who never brought his books to class and didn't do any work was unclear.
Also, especially in Australia, government department officials seem worryingly willing to inherit the amorality of their ministers in charge.
It's not like you have to learn 360 seperate symbols and their meanings.
I only learned 'sep_a_rate' in my twenties at a three week job with desktop publishing specialising in real-estate copy. I'm sure I'd still be confused otherwise.
"Colour", "centre", and look correct in their proper contexts. Studying French has probably made me less tolerant of the American spellings, but it also taught me how to spell manoeuvre (or is that manoeuvre?)

It looks like the meteor I saw a few years ago on a winter's night in Melbourne. A blazing fireball with a tail streaking across the sky is a very impressive thing to see.
That's the sort of ingenious and well-researched thing they do in the movies. It always works there. And in the real world, almost anyone could be persuaded to load a CD or thumb drive that's sufficiently interesting to them. At the moment if I found a thumb drive labelled "World of Warcraft mod XML interface made easy" I'd definitely think of my coding needs over my computer security.
Interesting, so in the US the DSL companies are selling a range of frequencies, and if your line is poor you lose a proportion of the 'advertised' bandwidth. While it doesn't surprise me that the DSL companies might sell their product this way, they would have happier customers if they switched on all available frequencies (it would just a setting on the DLSAM, can't imagine it costing them anymore) and throttled the bandwidth upstream.
Until recently, my Australian ISP was reselling the national carrier's ADSL. The 512/128k plan synced at 1536/128k but throughput was 512k. Then the line got put on to one of their own ADSL2+ DSLAMs and I get 14M/1M for the same cost as the resold 512k. Apple software updates come through at more than 2MB/s, but I haven't found any other server that can serve that fast.
What's expensive for the ISP is downloads. At least that's what they charge for. Backhaul bandwidth is also important, but won't be an issue here at least until multiple people are updating their Apple software.
For me, I would hardly notice if my speed dropped from 14meg to 5meg, but I would be annoyed if it dropped from 768k to 300k. It seems the (US) ISPs are using poor lines as an excuse not to provide people with bandwidth that in many cases they could provide with the flick of a switch.
Still, if it's a crap line that can only do 768k, it should still do that on the 768k plan. Actual throughput should should be more than half of the nominal bandwidth- when I used had 512k, ADSL downloads were in the low 50s kBps, or low 400s kbps actual throughput which seems to be a more realistic allowance for overhead.
Here in Australia they (ie national local phone monopoly) only let you have ADSL if your line can sync at 1.5M. The advantage is that you get at least a respectable speed. The disadvantage is that if your line is bad you get dial-up.
Blizzard would have got a lot of people (like me) from their other RTS games. Also for mac users (like me) the games market is much more limited, and we're happy that Blizzard have always supported macs.
Yes, the only time OS X has frozen on me was when my dodgy external hard drive wouldn't wake up.

I'm not sure if these people were farmers by this stage (it's around the time when grain farming started), but if they were, they would have had problems with grit in their not quite pure flour, which wore away the teeth of the Egyptians, for example. Once the top had worn through, the rest could be sensitive to decay maybe.
A smart employer will realize that even clever, hardworking people look stoned sometimes.
Hell, too much hard work can make you look stoned. No company would take their employee pics for their website at the end of a run of six straight twelve-hour days. Probably.
Ditto composing music. Some of my best pieces happen quickly, and others become bogged down (pun intended) and uninspired. Lately I've learned the value of getting my team of one to have a coherent vision from the start, instead of just starting and seeing where it will go. It makes my large scale compositions better, and the overall architecture easier, which means I can concentrate on other things (though composing should always be difficult- any composer who composes things easily is not living up to his or her full potential).
Conversely, my dwarf warrior has been suffering because my offline life has been too busy. She's in a friendly guild and is at an interesting stage of her life, but I'm not online enough.

Yeah, let's call the whole thing off.

Part-time work (on a reasonable hourly rate), part-time non-work, and a curbing of one's unnecessary material urges is an excellent lifestyle.

The goblins have the zepplins, and they make it pretty clear they're only in it for the money. The goblins are the real capitalists in WoW.
Ah, then try some of this.

Well at last he's doing something about sedition instead of just talking about it. I'd better stop thinking freely.
