"America still has a 'race' problem." Yeah, and it's all "whitey" ... right? So, murder Wilson [he's white]. That will fix everything! Ok, I'm hanging up now. I'm feeling overwhelmed by the rational, intellectual, logical and cogent reasoning being employed by the righteous moralists here on /.

How thick do those walls have to be? A foot or two? And a central control room could control quite a few such ANNUAL deposits. Seriously, 2200 tons of depleted uranium is simply not that big of a volume. You could locate it in just about any building in the US and no one would know. It's actually a very, very small size.

I'd rather have someone who has some business experience (ideally as a success, but I'd take failure as well) as President than someone with zero business management experience.

Leaderships skills are, apparently, no longer a qualification for President... Charisma and good talking points suffice.

Actually, yes. Here in Southern California, many homes have two master bedrooms, or you can combine a master bedroom and "normal" bedroom to reach the volume of size needed. A typical 400 square foot apartment with an 8 foot ceiling would support complete storage. This is a tiny space.

Yes, 2200 tons sounds REALLY scary, but what is that, really? Depleted uranium is around 19.1 grams per cubic centimeter. Do the math, and that 2200 tons of spent fuel ends up being a cube about 15 feet a side. Not really all that much now, is it? You can store it in the space of two typical master bedrooms. An entire year's worth of spent uranium in a very small volume. I'd say that's actually a really good thing!

My little company (started just a year ago) is in the process right now. Albeit for an H1B holder from the EU, but the same process. In the real scheme of business, a $5000 expense is nothing to get a good quality worker...

It's known as OSX and allows one to "talk" with Steve Jobs...

Transferring your H1B from one employer to another is not hard. Takes about 3 months and about $5000. Just need to find a new employer willing to accept that. And whilst transferring your H1B, you do NOT have to leave the country, and can actually start working for your new employer as USCIS operates under the presumption your transfer will complete successfully.

Porting an H1B is quite simple, actually... Typically takes a few months - and the worker does NOT need to leave the country as there is a presumption that the conversion will go through. And converted/ported H1Bs do NOT count against the existing cap (meaning porting someone over does not require you fight for one of the scarce new H1Bs). Source.

What better way to show your displeasure with one group of people by attacking and destroying the property of a completely different group?

Preface: Said as a person who lived in China full-time for 6 years, and has spent the majority of the last 3 years in China. And married to a Chinese national...

China has a lot of really, really smart people. However, innovation does not exist culturally within the vast majority of Chinese - and seems to be even less present in those with university degrees. There is still a lot of the old Maoist "follow orders only/don't speak up" culture well set within China.

If you want to execute on an idea, China can be a good place to do so - lots of very smart people who, for the most part, follow direction. But if you're looking for innovation/inspiration? Look elsewhere.

NOTE: the current generation of college students being educated overseas are starting to movement towards innovation. My feeling is that it will be their kids that really kick off the innovation revolution within China. About 30 years out, at this time...

WHAT? Hi there, I've lived in China the vast majority (like 80%+) of the last 10 years, and am married to a Chinese national. Most of the CCP members inherited their positions from their parents. They also tend to be the ones who inherited the biggest companies in China as well (banks, telecoms, heavy industries). Capability/intelligence is NOT the reason you're in the CCP - relationships/political gamesmanship/familial relations are what keep the CCP members in the CCP.

Badly needed ACA? The biggest failure of legislation in the last several decades, that had to be unilaterally amended by the President to provide political cover for members of his party? That ACA? If you want to claim Gruber as "one of the best and brightest" because of the ACA, you have a really, REALLY low bar...

Books, sales, marketing, employee handbooks, Government required postings, vacation policies... Get that stuff in place before you start hiring. Then treat it as a business - regardless of what your product is.

There are plenty of nerds that would love to hang out Friday or Saturday night and talk about his 68000 and other geekiness...

Oh, you mean "with a girl" kind of date?
