I answer to myself as I do not want to answer each of the below responses separately.
I know of technical solutions to waste disposal. I did not mean this. I mean practical and genera population agreeable ways of resolving it barred odd Finland do not exist - you take this strange mountain in Nevada (I think) in the time used for a discussion about it USA produced most likely more waste that would fit into it anyway. So whatever a nice solution you people have unless it is agreed by general population you will be keeping your waste on top of nuclear facilities and some other strange places as you do it now.
What about people that accepted the p. bargain which legally means that admitted that they committed the crime they were charged with which I turn means that the screwed evidence is of no value for the actual conviction. Nicely fucked up system of justice. European one is not all that faultless either but so much of a fuckup that it qualifies to be called royal one, is a rare situation and this is systemic so we are not talking about mistakes but regularly biased activity.This whole bargain shit is screwed on so many levels that I actually doubt that any justice system allowing it can be considered just and this before we even consider how fucked up certain areas of justice in US are (war on drugs). 12 angry men - my arse.
I like your thinking yet I seriously doubt that politicians and bankers that pay them would agree to change the current practice to their disadvantage.
That is what justice system is there for - to prevent crime against others. If you harm yourself only it is only your problem. What is there that you do not understand?
If you took views of most of the people innocently convicted with views of the judges Dredds administering justice from comfort of their cellars here you would notice a strange thing - people that served the sentence without committing a crime are maybe not relaxed about it but they tend to forgive the mistakes - they would not survive the stress otherwise. Take Rubin Carter for instance - his life was ruined and he did not go after the public prosecutors or false witness. I guess he could and probably would get suspended sentence for that. Still he did not. Instead he worked for the cause of the wrongly convicted.
'need' is a big word but I think those that are afraid to be infected with stuff and those that are afraid of being divorced into poverty would have some use in this invention. I guess there some other groups of people that would seriously consider realdoll if there were one. Besides your statement shows little to none understanding to individuals that are not interested in female body (electric sheep comes to mind but there are other choices too I would imagine).
Are you relocating to Fukushima any day soon? I mean there may be a hassle with permits I guess with Japanese gov. being painful when it comes to formal things but the property prices in the vicinity of the reactor should be good. Unless of course they are to be used as a storage area for sacks and containers with contaminated stuff etc. You see problems of most of the internet forums are diverse but one is striking - there are lots of words because they are cheap. Show us how you enjoy living near the broken reactor and we may consider your words more carefully next time. We will also see how well are you and your kids after say 15years of living there.
I do not mind nuclear reactors if they are taken care for properly, including waste disposal in not fantasy solution of nuclear reactors phase X and including as well the proper insurance costs. Other than that there are other options than nuclear that we can pursue without wasting our time on discussing this BS.
Why include nuclear anywhere? The problem with waste disposal is not going away any time soon. Solve this (and insure the plants) and this becomes a serious option again. Of course you would have to consider where you build those things i.e. plants and disposal sites as well. Do it right and I do not think many people will object. This is only one side of the story. I think there is a serious issue with overpopulation already and we do not really notice because the processes involved have time scales significantly larger even than anything else humans are used to (i.e. > 30 seconds of serious pumping for instance). I'd say relax and enjoy the ride as long as we can. The hordes of refugees from polluted, flooded, deserted or lands that become unpleasant in other unpleasant ways will make our lives much more interesting rather soon.
What about Yemen.
Or Nigeria? Or Democratic Republic of Congo? What about war on drugs? There are persistent, low level war like situations from Mexico all the way down to South America. Turkey is in a perpetual up and down of violence between the state and Kurds. There is in fact no day without people being killed in war. The war is not all out industrial enterprise of this little painter from Vienna these days because of dominance of big actors but the war is being wedged all the same. The tools of war are cheap and financing is available so you can buy your fighters for some few million dollars and hoopla - you got yourself a war all for you alone.
Well you know this is always the same story - it could have worked if not for the reality. It is like it is theoretically possible that all oxygen molecules in the room you are in now will move to the others side of it letting you suffocate. This is extremely unlikely but a remote possibility exists. For all practical purposes we can assume that this will never happen to anybody. The same with war or violence in general - it will cease to exist when last human dies.
This post should actually be modded funny not insightful. After all somebody forced the airplane of this Moralez guy to land in Vienna or why would otherwise friendly skies be closed suddenly and only for one airplane?
This all you say applies to people that went to universities and did study and got some titles. I appreciate people that are well educated but this is not by any means associated with university degree only and university degree is not a guarantee of anything either. From certain point, the higher the education, bigger moron a person is. I had many colleagues that studied so called computer science and some of them were actually quite good. I have had few colleagues that got phd in CS or physics or some other and I know 1 that was not damned awful. The rest should be hanged by the balls because they disturbed the rest and because they had scientific titles they though they are gods - which meant they were difficult to fight against.
Massive layoffs are always good for stock price. The problem is this is not working if you have nobody to let go.
I think we are indeed reaching the singularity - the brainlessness of human kind is growing faster than ever, faster even than population in some quarters is. Major layoffs will follow major rupture in societies. Massive die off follows. Dark ages again. It all points this direction. I only hope they finally find place for storing damned radioactive waste somewhere but that is not a big worry - after all I will not see any problems with it in my lifetime.
You cannot flush them, so throwing them guns in the sewer is not going you any good. Throw them in the active volcano or into the ocean instead. As you said this is not going to happen but at least your options should be meaningful.
A treaty that is so secret that even those that have to vote to approve it, cannot read nor discuss it freely - wow that is a new level of democratic development. I thought at least Muricans who are normally confused but dislike secret courts would do something but I guess life is too good. Maybe oligarchy is the best system after all.
Let us see what EU will do with TTIP - protests are not that relevant for politicians doing what they can do best i.e. selling themselves to highest the bidder but there will be no heavy protests in EU. Peope here are quite busy with watching how silly Germans really are so TTIP may get approved without much fuss. Let us have cheese out of crude oil - it is good for you! Milo Minderbinder was right - people are stupid and tasteless idiots and they will eat soap if they are told it is tasty, maybe even asking for more.
So you are in a situation of this 'odd' company already. I read about them few times before. This is not as simple as it sounds - there are indeed structures but much less strict and fixed in stone as they are elsewhere. The company must have had a good team before including managers so this was not such a big deal anyway. I guess they are just about the size that such practice is still possible.
There is more to management than external interface. If projects are bigger than a 2 person ad hoc team can finish in a foreseeable future of say 2 months then there is a need for a bigger team maybe (has there been not a management article few days back here?). If team is bigger then conflicts will ensue and sometimes these will require somebody to do reconciliation, possibly neutral enough but also authoritative enough to enforce agreement as (here it comes) all these devolved schemes that actually work well are actually possible but only if you have a mature people able(*) to talk to each other.
* - this means not only their personal character allows them that but that the discussion is actually a technical possibility.

Now you are responsible for coffee on my keyboard and parts of display and frankly this is tragic rather than funny. I still laugh tho...

This is one of the few sane statements that I saw on /. on this subject ever - mod points for the wise here please!

Not enough democracy introduced - Obama failed to send more bohmbehrs so Vladi has to help. The world is all gone mad.

really?
UX? Is this some new type of pr0n? I heard a guy talking about it the other day in the meeting.

That actually fits into my observations of industry - do something right and you get optimized out of your job.
I do not want to spoil the fun here but China is not party to TTP.

Because you posted as AC your statement can be considered a conspiracy, citizen. Think twice next time!
So you are in a situation of this 'odd' company already. I read about them few times before.
