Before approval, containers must meet rigorous engineering and safety criteria and be able to pass a series of hypothetical accident conditions that create forces greater than the containers would experience in actual accidents. The same container must, in sequence, undergo (1) a 30-foot free fall onto an unyielding surface, (2) a 40-inch fall onto a steel rod six inches in diameter, (3) a 30-minute exposure to fire at 1,475 degrees Fahrenheit that engulfs the entire container, and (4) submergence under three feet of water for eight hours. Also, by a separate test, containers are submerged under 50 feet of water for eight hours.
...And transporting radioactive waste to an from a processing facility is extremely risky...
No. As you can see in these crash test videos, the containers used to transport nuclear waste can be broadsided by a 120-ton locomotive traveling at 80 miles per hour and come out of it with only cosmetic damage. Unfortumately, all the fud about accidents & terrorism on trucks or trains carrying nuclear waste tends to appeal more to peoples fearful hearts than the facts do to peoples rational minds. That makes me a sad pro-nuclear panda.
Kim Jong il, for the record, is known to be an insecure individual. Among other things he resents his short stature. An idividuals insecurity can come out in any number of ways, but it would be suspected that Kim Jong ils upbrining in which people would have had to be suvmissive towards him, would make it more likely that his insecurity would come out as agression.
It was clear that years of being ignored by the international community would only make him go to further lengths to get the attention that he wanted.
Yeah, there are a few good extensions that counteract the weakness that is FF live bookmarking. Although I have to use 3 seperate, heavy extensions to be able to get RSS in an ideal fashion. Needless to say, startup times are of the saddening variety.
Concidering that Firefox was one of the strongest supporters of RSS in its early days, I'm supprised that come RC2, its live bookmark features are still so archaic. Nothing to indicate to me what I have already read, you can only open one item form a bookmark at a time, no keyword filtering, and still that unimaginative 'blank document' icon for the individual story items. Relatively small flaws, I know.
...So they offer to subcribe to a bookmark thru Google Reader, Bloglines etc., uhh, no thanks, the less 'services' i have to subscribe to get the features I want, and the less data I have to hand out to do so, the better.
