I truly hope that is the case. of course, you'll have the same type of electric vacuum cleaner, but the gen iv+ thorium breeder reactor will be in a nice secure power plant staffed by competent people.
indeed, the thorium reserves of earth are sufficient for about 4,000 years of an earth with 8.5 billion people (which will be the peak population of earth in about 2070 followed by very small rate of decline if current trend continue)
Let's give benefit of doubt just for a minute, even though most such stories on slashdot are thermodynamic and/or perpetual motion nonsense.
He might have been using the term "laser" to mean "laser-like", in that a triggered reaction causes others kind of like stimulated emission in a laser.
There has been years of work in "energy amplifier" systems, one of which is to bombard thorium with protons to start a cycle of capture, neutron release, breeding into u-233, etc. Essentially a small breeder reactor. If such a thing were possible, probably better to do it at secure central power plant, not in a car for many excellent safety and anti-terrorism-enabling purposes
wasn't excited until the 80286 based clones came out, then I bought one to run Coherent (Unix clone) on it. Real live multi-user multi-tasking, even on processors that weren't considered capable of it.
I hope you mean that most people still don't know what Scroll-lock is for, since it has uses by software on mainframes, mini-computers, microcomputers with OS such as ms-dos, windows, GNU/Linux, various Unix(tm), *BSD, Mac OS (but I don't know about osx). And of course many KVM use it.
irrelevant if he was "good" by your definition. If someone is willing to employ him, that's the only thing that matters. Even if later *you* find his code is a bitch to maintain, tough shit for you. That just means he's the shit "pitcher" and you are the bitch "shit eater". Real world is a bother that way.
for my employer, on any job I might be project manager, systems architect, developer, sometimes even racker of hardware and cable puller. I still learn a new language now and then, and now and again actually use them at a client.
Have you had much object oriented exposure? if not, get that way of thinking into your skill set with a widely versatile language that is used for command line, web, daemon and applications. I'd suggest Python, learn the basics, then do some web development, then go into a web framework (take your pick) and also learn to call C libraries with python.
you diaper wearing puppies can go off and make up your own rules if you want, but don't be surprised if we older and wiser suddenly beat you with our ear horn

That's the claimed propaganda. Thus far $245 minus the $169 "paid back" by banks, which includes warrants on stocks of worthless banks and mortgage securities that are in trouble. We got hosed over, but certain big banks that help create the disaster are doing well and "paid back" their loans. Except the investor's reaction to this is to be scared and purchase commodities futures which hits us with massive speculative driven inflation, we get a second hosing.
I don't consider any budget cuts to be forced upon me, the federal government is a dangerous evil monster that needs massive pruning. I hope the "supercongress" gets deadlocked so the triggers cut in, and then in 2012 we elect people who cut some more.

i'll settle for being able to grow anything we need, including vehicles with pseudo-"muscles" for engines that take cellulose.
not at all, it can run on biofuel too

I'm not on the high horse but the low one today. He only needs to be good enough to get a job.
As for language, this is slashdot, the virtual walls drip with entrails and body fluids.

yes, personal computing with commercial ready-to-go products for home and business started in the mid 70s.
yes, you can get hacked by javascript. and most modern news sites pop up ads and have third party tracking crap activated.
only an idiot goes to a new website allowing javascript. smarter people allow things in stages. NoScript and adblock ftw!
works in the console and character terminals of most linux distros too, but not the X11 terminals unless you config it. ditto OpenBSD.
There are certain paradigms for different families of languages, for example functional vs. imperative, or parallel vs. single process.
To cross one of those boundaries will involve learning new concepts that weren't in the familiar languages, it's good for the brain.

So plug a keyboard into the tablet. but every tablet I've seen can also do spreadsheets on the go, in a pinch, without the keyboard
I haven't shown them through thick bones, no. neither have you

nope, even IBM still calls it "assembler" at times
for example http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/download/asmr1020.pdf or http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmqv7/v7r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.mq.csqzal.doc/fg19060_.htm

people have been doing that long, long before GPS, or even the automobile.
i don't know about you, but if I tried to read a map while driving people would die and property would be damaged.
I'll make a note of that, and be sure to light an actual fire before yelling
