With thermal power you need to spin turbines and the greater the volume of steam the less the frictional losses etc matter and the more you can extract with low pressure turbines etc. Also small nuclear plants are expensive anyway due to many things, for example the high temperatures that give you the performance you want. Theoretically, and often in practice, the price per MW drops a lot with scale.
Thus building huge - at least in terms of the amount of steam if not the actual reactor/s, is the only thing that makes sense if it's a civilian plant designed to generate electricity for sale. If it's a research reactor, powering a specific thing (like a ship), or a front for a weapons program then it doesn't need to be huge.

Compressed air also works in underwater balloons along the same lines as the salt mines as a cheaper alternative to pressure vessels. It's well paired with offshore wind.
Compressed air is a very lossy energy storage method but it's well tried and convenient.

Me obsessed? You are the one attaching onto threads without even reading the post you have replied to.

It's unlikely Apple will go anywhere; Safari will keep using WebKit and it's a pretty good fraction of the mobile market.

But he's clearly smarter than everybody who spent years thinking of and designing an enormously successful product.

Nah, he's really a fuckwit but thanks to Dunning-Kruger he doesn't know it.

You're trolling and not actually that stupid, right?

I am fully aware that turds such as yourself attach themselves to the bottoms of other people's posts and see it as some sort of victory if they get the last word. Why should I let you have that? String this out as long as you like and continue to make yourself look stupid and all I have to do is tell people to refer to your posting history to see exactly what a piece of shit you are - you think that's stalking? GROW UP and take some responsibility for your actions and be prepared for others to rub your nose in your expelled filth.
Once again - why the lecture for me pointing out a luddite science denier using a tired old page from the luddite playbook? All these posts and nothing but evasion and stupid mistakes.

Maybe you're made because I pointed out a mistake you've made?

Read that one :)
However I think it's time for you to stop using your daddies slashdot account for your mindless trolling.

I'm not stressed. Your posts have been hilarious and filled me with a smug sense of superiority over such an utter loser as yourself that cannot even keep track of simple threads that you are perpetuating yourself.

That would require real and strong AI. When we have the kind of npc AI you're talking about, we'll also be building real world Datas from Star Trek.

Not at all - still dumb as a toaster but just with a few more rules to match to simulate being good at one or two different things. It's a very contrived setting with very few things going on. Even, at an extreme, if something engages you in conversation there's very little to talk about so a small number of scripts covers all bases - that's your deluxe waffle setting :)

I doubt they will go back in. Nokia stuffed up massively

You missed a WAS in there - Nokia was stuffed up massively as a deliberate action.
There can hardly be anything more blatant than an MS guy leaving to do his first CEO gig in a major multinational with the world's largest market share in mobile phones, then transferring that multinational to MS products, running down the market share and company value, then going back to MS as they bought the diminished company. It was a blatant corporate raid even if it was done with the blessing of the board. People with no track record as a CEO do not get to run major multinationals unless there is some sort of game afoot and pressure on the board (or specifically extra weight in their wallets).
I feel sorry for the Trolltech guys that would have been better off in the long run if they hadn't joined up with Nokia. They would still be working on Qt if they were not removed as part of Elop's sabotage of Nokia to bring down the share price.

I thought you said we were "done"?

No I most definitely did not. You've probably got me mixed up with someone else you are trolling.
Come on now A.D.D. boy - answer the question. Why the lecture? Why do others have to be at a higher standard than you are demonstrating yourself?

There is no reason the design of a waste hauling train should wait until a site is identified, thus delaying the removal of the waste from many scattered temporary storage sites. The hauling design and the site identification can proced in parallel.

Indeed: The characteristics of the hauling solution may limit the selection of sites to which the waste could be hauled with acceptable levels of safety. That would argue for the design to PRECEED site selection.

Hey guys - check out the other posts from this troll. That "How else do you explain your need to respond" seems to be a common theme.
If it wasn't for his quote I'd write him off as a bored teen instead of a possible bitter middle aged man.

WTF? Conspiracy theory?
The Eliza "AI" program of the 1990s showed more apparent intelligent life than you are demonstrating here. At least it tried to appear to be relevant by quoting strings back at people instead of being totally random.

So - answer the question - why did you jump onto my post and give me a lecture without even reading my post? I'm not going to let such attempted petty bullying stand, it's peices of shit like you that give us all a bad name.
