Fast breeders don't necessarily produce any plutonium, unlike normal thermal reactors. A PWR on a current once-through cycle will burn mostly U-235 and produce Pu-239 - so no plutonium in, some plutonium out. A fast breeder with a closed cycle and Pu as the fissile material can be arranged so that only as much plutonium comes out as goes in.
You can't indefinitely recycle plutonium in a thermal reactor due to complications with particular isotopes building up, affecting stability.

I can hire 5 people from India for your salary and they will accomplish about twice what you do(all totaled).
They tried to outsource my department..it failed.
We were able to get rid of most of the developers since they're a dime a dozen.
I do both coding and 3rd level support and the support people are by far more competent with a computer than the developers who get lost outside their IDE.
Your software won't be worth crap if you can't get it distributed.
...in favor of a biography of the ancient philosopher Confucius starring Chow-Yun Fat
I expect an outpouring of sympathy from the international community at such a flagrant disregard of the basic human right to not suffer through another Chow Yun Fat performance.
Thanks. You have dispelled a few wrong assumptions on my part. This makes much more sense now.
Funny how people focus on the unimportant details when they don't like the main statement of the post.
If you can't get any trivially verifiable details correct (including which site this is), why should anyone take your random speculations seriously?
No. It's illegal if it might be confused for, or is being passed as, official US currency.
Ithaca hours are paper. So are store coupons, and if you think about it they're a form of currency backed by product discounts.
Having an internet connection is a security risk. Probably a bigger one than running Audacity.
It isn't about puckered a-holes, it is about not being able to quantify risk appropriately. I ran into the same level of thinking in my boss (IT Supervisor no less) who thought that using BitTorrent to Download Ubuntu "was letting unauthorized access to company computers", I mentioned that all sorts of outside computers have access to company computers via web browsers, and perhaps we should block connections on Port 80 as well.
And Web Browsing on the ONLY Company Approved Web Browser (IE) is VERY risky, and has been for years. And yet, it remains company policy to not recommend Firefox, Chrome or Safari.
You do realise its the business that has pushed the faceless ticketing system onto IT since that enables them to slash the helpdesk budget.
Its also the budget constraints and business decisions that mean that the remaining helpdesk staff are paid so poorly and are invariably temp contractors with no career path so are you surprised htey are braindead and have zero technical nous.
But hey said automated system can provide XYZ reams of inaccurate stats, but the stats look good which justifies the lower budget. Nevermind garbage in garbage out.
I've been in this field too long and I've just hit 30.....
