People just forget to do these things, then wonder why the nightly breaks.

Builds fail due to engineer error.

That's the benefit to owning the means of production and not giving a shit about what design they're churning out. Intel would like to beat them with Atom, but they don't have to.

So, just because the Warren Burger led supreme court went 5-3 (Justice Stevens did not take part) in Buckley vs Valeo in favor of this line of reasoning does not make it correct. It simply means that our Supreme court believed that it knew better than the majority of Congress, who felt strongly enough about limiting campaign money to override Gerald Fords veto.

Well, to start with Reagan:

Are you referring to this as the small pilot plant? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

A 5 year operation is hardly unproven. It is well known that the light water reactor design was chosen for its ability to create fissile material for weapons. It was the perfect design for the cold war. We are no longer trying to beat the Russians on warhead count, so its probably time we revisit the design question. Thermal cycles make more sense than fast ones, liquid fuel makes more sense than pellet, breeder systems make more sense than non-breeder ones.

it almost seems to be a running joke these days.

"We gotta figure out how to do nuclear safely!"

"How about we use proven molten salt technology and burn thorium?"

"Naah...How about we build a huge floating light water reactor out in the ocean?"

Which region? What country? What development area? What language?

If you are an old coder wanting to get some job at some startup mobile app social networking company, sure...probably you don't fit the profile.

For everything else, I am sure age trumps youth, as people who run companies tend to look at the extra they are paying you as a good return on investment when delays can cost you millions, or clients, etc. Experience wins every time.

Lets read up a little bit on it before we compare LFTR reactors and nuclear processes to putting diesel in a gas car...

This! :/

I had still been playing some civ 4 in concurrency with civ 5, but the biggest draw for that bundle was civ 3. I can't put the Civ smack down, ever since civ 1 on the Amiga. I still have a copy of civ2 floating around somewhere...
