Comment: Why I go to the Cinema (Score 1) 663

If I just want to see a movie, I'll watch it at home.

Piracy shouldn't affect new-releases at all. People go to the cinema for the whole experience which is really something that can't be pirated, can it? Unless you install full projection equipment and a three story screen in your own home.

The rude interruptions from phone callers will come regardless.

I had a similar experience, from the other side of the spectrum. I was the summer intern doing a project that required digging through the paper archives to find some hardware data that was to be entered into a computer simulation.

It was nowhere to be found. What was documented for this perticular plant was little more than the type of equipment used. Not it's technical ratings or anything. Just what was there. And good luck finding any of that documentation only.

I also found full documentation for a plant that'd been shut down decades ago. Then demolished. And was now a blank wasteland. "In the hope they would be useful"

This is a superb idea. Though, it can be difficult at times, especially if you accidentally stick a heft saw through your container. As a compromise maybe just keep the board wetted down and damp.

Running water or oil across the cutting area, or some sort of cutting fluid may be a good idea. Though that exactly depends on what OP is using to cut the things.

Japan

Possible Breach In Fukushima Reactor->

Submitted by RedEaredSlider
RedEaredSlider writes "Reports are coming from Japan that one of the six reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant may have suffered a breach to the reactor containment vessel, which would mean a much greater release of radiation than has happened so far.

If the reactor vessel was breached, it will be much harder to contain radioactive contaminants, as the radioactive steam inside the pressure vessel could leak into the air. If the reactor suffers a partial meltdown, liquefied nuclear fuel could also escape.

At a press conference on Friday morning (Japan time) Hidehiko Nishiyama, deputy director-general of the Japan Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, said when three workers entered the turbine building at the number 3 reactor, they stepped in to water that was highly radioactive. The workers suffered burns and were hospitalized. The water was 10,000 times more radioactive than it would normally be, according to Asahi Shinbun."
